Percy Jackson and the Dawn of April

by Mischief Weavers

So I read the Blood of Olympus and decided the ending was too open so this happened... "It started off as a visit to Percy's mum after 3 years. But after an old friend of Percy's shows up, his vow to not forgive her seems to get in the way. But when she disappears and Percy is the only one who can save her. Will he, or will he let her be taken out of vengeance?"

10. APRIL(3)

I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN Zeus wouldn't have sent me out on a mission in the middle of the night. I guess my senses aren't as acute at 2 am. Well I guess this is my payment. I mean, how could I have been so stupid. I guess I should explain.

I had woken up around 2 am because I had heard noises. I had gone to the dining area and seen Percy hard at work making a "Sorry April" Card. I was about to hug him there and then, but a bit of paper started silently fizzing behind me. I suppose I should have noticed more, like how Zeus's mission papers don't silently fizz.

I grabbed hold of the paper and was transported.

I appeared on a cliff edge. Turning around, I looked down the cliff for any sign of the monsters I was meant to get. There were none. Stupidly, I put my back to the cliff edge and that's when it happened.

From behind me, a hand grabbed my waist and pulled me down. I grabbed my knife and sliced at him and he let me go. But by then it was too late, I was falling down into the sea, where he had wanted me.

I made to try and control the waters, so I may survive. But they were evil waters and I had no control over them. Soon the water was not a metre away from me. I hit it, straight on, and my world went black.

I had woken up in a chair underwater. I couldn't move or speak. They had taken my weapons and put them right in front of me but just out of my reach as if to taunt me. That's still where I am. But I have a plan. The men have been coming every hour to check on me, and they have been trying to find out what my little ice droplets are. Here comes one now.

"WHAT ARE THEY?" He spat. I kicked. I hit him on the head an knocked him out. Once he was down, I shuffled my chair till it cracked the ice droplet. The water around me froze and the sheet of ice expanded out to all the water it could reach. As the closest bit of water to me unfroze, a bit further away froze. I had created a traveling sheet of ice, and hopefully someone else would recognise it and save me. That's when I picked up the chair with me and ran.

Man is this one short. Maybe if I get a review then I'll post another today or two next time. It's up to you guys...
