Chapter 10
I yawned and almost fell asleep under a shade of a tree, Percy who sat right beside me looked equally bored. This is my last day in the school, and the day I will meet those Laistrygonian? I hope I spell that right. Matt Sloan began to harass Tyson again about his size, voice, clothes, smell and something about crybaby. I grunted as I pushed myself up and walked towards the commotion, which is Tyson crying and tried to swat Matt Sloan away from him.
"Leave him alone you jerk" I said in sharp tone "Shouldn't you read the book or act like some stupid character in the book? And learn about something called survival?"
"Hah, leave me alone you freak" Sloan spat back at me "Why don't you go back to your gay friend, Percy huh?"
My left eyebrow twitched as I unconsciously grabbed Sloan by the collar of his expensive shirt "What did you say, you brat?!" and I clenched my left fist.
Sloan tried to struggle from my iron grip as I lifted him up from the ground "Let me go freak! Or my dad going to hear about this!"
Now my left eyes twitched "Oh, so are going to act like some brat from a famous novel huh?! What, are you dad at ministry too?! Or perhaps he has a super villain as a boss who obsessed with snake, who also happened to be bald?"
"Are you quoting some novel again?" Percy appeared behind me and face palmed "I never understand you buddy" Percy the put his hand on my shoulder "But, if you want to beat the crap out of him, then be my guest. After all this class theme is about survival. Let's see, how is he going to survive your wrath?"
"Wh-what?" Sloan voice began to quiver "He-hey, just put me down okay! Touch me and you will regret it!"
"I already touch you stupid" I sneered and shook him violently "See. What, do you think I use some kind of magic to lift you up?" I raised my left eyebrow and tried to look cool while doing that.
"Guys!" Sloan began to yell like a little girl to his group of friend who only watched him from far "You are supposed to help me, your boss!"
"Oh, so you're the boss now huh?" I chuckled evilly and Sloan face went pale quickly "Then I just have to beat you up now, so your minions can see that their boss is a pathetic mortal, and a useless one at that, also a damsel in distress"
I shoved him away and pushed his face away with my hand, Sloan shrieked like a little girl, and after that I jabbed two of my finger into his forehead hard way, officially sending his body into the grassy ground behind him. The kids stopped messing around when they heard a rather loud and obnoxious 'THUMP' echoed to the yard. Sloan groaned and clutched his forehead in pain, while his minions only gathered not too far from him, gave me a sharp and cold glare.
"Good job mate" Percy slapped my back in fake British accent, and believe me his voice made me cringe "Why don't you finish him up?"
I picked a random branch that laid not too far from my feet (branch ex machina!) and stabbed it only an inch to Sloan 'prized jewel'. Sloan passed out instantly and his minions had to drag his poor ass away from me.
"Remind me not to piss you off" Percy mumbled.
"Gu-guys" a timid voice called me and Percy.
We both turned around and found Tyson twiddling with his thumb and looked at his shoe intently.
"Thank you" he said again a bit louder this time "You always helped me"
I only grinned and patted his arm "Nah, he's a jerk. He deserved it"
Then the teacher came out and began to blab about our survival skill in the wild. And he suddenly asked about Sloan whereabouts.
"He's cannot survive" Percy said in loud tone "He's dead because he messed around with a bear"
I jabbed him in his ribs hard "So, now I'm a bear huh?! Then what are you?!" then I snickered quietly "Probably a jelly fish, because they don't have brain" then Percy proceed to jab my side with his finger, I let out a rather girlish squeak as I quickly crouched down and protected both of my side with my arm "You ass! Do you forget that I'm quite ticklish?!"
Percy only beamed at me "Do you forget that jelly fish also could sting you?"
Sometimes I hate when he suddenly turned into a smart ass.
Fire, literally fire everywhere, and the kids ran around the gym while screaming their head off, and that didn't help at all, only made everything worse. I gripped my sword tighter as I scanned the Laistrygonian who wore some weird tattoo stood in front of me, while Tyson on the other hand quivering in the corner. Percy stood behind me, clearly panicked since his sword still on the locker room, meaning I had to fight all five of them by myself until Percy got his hand on his sword.
"Oh, so the Apollo kid decided to join in the fight too" one of them said in creepy tone "Boss said to bring that one alive"
Oh, so Luke asked them to kidnap me while in class? Is he stupid or something? There's too many eyewitness in here! I raised my sword when one of them literally took a step forward towards me, I flinched at the slight movement, my abdomen still hurt like hell after the rubber ball those monster threw at me. Well, they aimed the ball to Percy, and my body happed to move by its own accord and pushed Percy out of the way. Look, I'm not a masochist who enjoyed the pain that being inflicted on me, it just…Percy happened to be in the harm way, and Poseidon kinda forced-asked me to protect his son from harm, so yeah, I'm just doing my job, which is a crappy one.
One of the Laistrygonian took a ball, not the rubber one, a metal one and its covered in fire, and it happened to explode when it made contact with something. But, those Laistrygonian came from Canada, if I remembered it correctly, so how on earth they are able to smuggle those kind of fire ball bomb thingy to here. Through airport? Or the border? Well, either way those guys who supposed to detect that kind of thing did their job poorly, or maybe the Laistrygonian just used the mist to fool the fool mortal. And somehow, I felt like stuck in some kind of game called Bomber man, where the player could put bomb literally everywhere, and there's power up to made your bomb even stronger than before.
My eyes wide when a stray ball headed towards me, I yelped and quickly ducked down. The ball whizzed pass by my hair, and singed a few strand of my hair. I cursed loudly, because I just got distracted again, while in the face of danger. Luckily, the Fates kind enough to drag me back into reality when there's a threat that can kill me. Just hoping, they didn't get tired of it, since I'm guessing it will be happening more frequently. I pushed myself up and ran towards one of the Canadian, I'm tired of spelling their full name, and slashed my sword upwards. My sword made a contact into the Canadian skin, and he yelled before turned into a puff of golden dust, showering the unfortunate me, who stood near him. After coughing a few golden dust and sneezed a few times, I brought my focus back into the rest of the four, while Percy tried his best to open the door towards the locker room. Another random fire ball flew towards me and I barely duck on time, the fire ball hit the wall just a few inches from the place where Percy stood. I grumbled as I studied the next Canadian, he already had two ball of fire on his hand, readied to throw it. And he threw it at me, then suddenly a pair of hand pushed me aside and I fell on my side, I watched Tyson caught the two fire balls with ease. Percy screamed something from behind and I didn't quiet catch it, since the alarm blaring in the gym area.
"Don't hurt my friend!" Tyson yelled and threw the fire balls back.
The Canadian who threw it at first, didn't expect Tyson would caught it and threw it back at him. He only bellowed in pain as he burst into a cloud of golden dust. I pushed myself up and still stared at Tyson with a hint of proud on my eyes. Three Canadians left, I readied my sword and dashed forwards the one on the left, I swung my sword and he jumped back, avoiding it. I quickly duck when one of them swung his arm at me, missed my hair a few inches. I rolled to the side and swung my sword upwards, the tip of my sword grazed one thee Canadians arm. The monster hissed in pain and stumbled back, and he quickly took a fire ball, my eyes widened at it and quickly ducked when the ball flew right towards me. I heard a loud 'BOOM' and I quickly turned around, only to find Percy on his ass, while staring wide eyes at the now open and charred door frame. Percy quickly got his bearings back as he scrambled into the locker room to find his sword in the pile of underwear and smelly socks. And just in time, I turned around and found the giant hand a few inch from my face, I quickly raised my sword and swung it, but my sword only grazed the giant arm as he managed to hit me on my cheek. The giant sent me into the left wall, I yelped when my side made a contact with the wall. I quickly rolled to my back and staring at the ceiling which began to pour a lot of water into the gym, looks like the sprinkle is working. My cheek throbbed in pain and I quickly stood up, Percy already engaged with one of them along with Tyson to help him.
Tyson pushed one into a wall and Percy made a quickly dash towards it, and stabbed him in the stomach. The giant stopped moving before burst into a golden dust, but, I really need to pay attention towards my surrounding, because one of them managed to grab me by my feet and lifted me up. And now I hang upside down and I tried my best not to puke, I dropped my sword and the giant brought me up far away from the floor. If he dropped me now, I'm going to break my neck from this height.
"God, I want to puke" I groaned as I tried to struggle from his grip "Let me go you freak!"
Instead of dropped me, he swung me around. My blood rushed into my head and my vision started to spin around. Then, I remembered I still had one bracelet, I quickly tapped it and managed to stab the giant in the armpit. The giant screamed in pain and dropped me, I quickly changed my position and I landed on my back in a loud 'THUMP" and I chocked on my own breath.
"Reiner!" I heard someone called me from far.
I turned to the giant position and found a tip of a silver dagger appeared from its chest. The Laistrygonian froze before explode into a golden dust. Annabeth stood there with kind of tired and wild expressions. Her grey eyes darted around as if tried to find another threat before it stopped on me. Her stormy grey eyes scanned my body, not in pervert way, but more in calculating way.
"You okay?" she asked in slightly worried tone.
I managed to give her a thumb up "Couldn't be better"
Annabeth nodded as she wiped her knife into her jean "Come on, let's help Seaweed Brain"
She offered her hand into me and I accepted it gladly, she pulled me up and patted me on my shoulder. I nodded at her as I looked at Percy with Tyson who busy with the last Laistrygonian.
"I distract him and you sneak behind it, and kill it?" I asked and looked at her.
Annabeth nodded slowly "Good idea, since my body is smaller than yours" she said "I can move stealthily and since yours are bigger, the giant will pay more attention to you, since you look more menacing than me"
"Is that a compliment or an insult?" I raised my eyebrow.
"A little of both" Annabeth said and shrugged her shoulder.
I only sweat dropped mentally as I walked to the Laistrygonian, Percy on the other side looked exhausted and frustrated, while Tyson looked a little bit confused and tired. I tapped Percy shoulder and he jumped, like seriously jumped from his place.
"Fuck you!" he yelled at me.
"Uh, Percy. I'm glad you like me and all, but that too fast and I'm not swing that way" I said, deadpanned.
At first Percy looked confused and tilted his head cutely, like a confused puppy. But, then in the matter of minute his face exploded into a thousand shade of reds. He began to stutter and ramble like a drunk sailor.
"You, you dumb idiot!" he yelled at me while his face is still flaming red "What the heck are you thinking?"
I quickly face palmed "Really? It took almost 1 minute for you to figure it out. You really are a seaweed brain"
Percy stomped his feet into the floor, and his sword dangerously missed my knee cap "Gross. You are super gross, now I can't push that image away from my head"
"You speak like an Aphrodite kid" I said in flat tone "Seriously? Super gross? Is that even a word?"
"Shut up Rei! I don't ask your opinion!" Percy hissed at me.
"And you're twelve years old" I said again and flicked my finger into his forehead "Don't even think of that buddy, you too young to understand"
I yelped and ducked when Percy swiped his sword above me, cutting a few strand of my hair.
"Oi! Don't swing that around you dumb idiot!" I hissed and patted the top of my head.
"Oh, that's a head?" Percy asked and tilted his head innocently "I think that's thin air, because your head full of it"
My right eye twitched "Oh really? That's coming from someone who's head full of seaweed!"
"Are you mortals forgetting my existence here?" a voice came in.
"Shut up!" me and Percy yelled at the same time while pointing our sword towards the owner of the voice.
And then we heard a faint sound of metal met with meat and bones, and silence. Pure silence. Me and Percy turned to the source of the voice, and found Annabeth covered from head to toe with golden dust, and she didn't look so happy, she looked angry and disgusted. I quickly spluttering that sound like an apology and Percy mouth went agape when he saw Annabeth stood there. Annabeth began to jab my chest, and her face is bright red.
"What the heck are you doing?" She asked me.
"Uh, distraction?" I said, more like asking.
She smacked me hard in the head "That's not how to distract monster you idiot!"
I rubbed the back of my head "Hey! At least he didn't notice you sneaking behind him! And beside me and Percy manage to kill it!" I stopped for a moment and stroke my chin "Accidentally, I guess"
Percy still couldn't form a word, but it only took a minute which felt like hours for him to finally speak.
"I, I thought you were in San Diego" Percy said slowly.
I almost rolled my eyes, really? Is that the best you can do Perce? Wow, you suck at that.
Annabeth scoffed as she dusted herself off "No, I'm running away. My step mom kept blaming me for the monster. Also, I need to talk to you about Grover"
Annabeth stopped talking immediately when she realized that almost all the kid gave her strange looks.
"Crap, let's get the hell out of here" she hissed and ran away from the gym.
Right after that the door burst open and a lots of teacher came in. I quickly and silently moved towards the gaping hole where's Annabeth just came into. Matt Sloan just spluttered some kind of excuses about it's all Percy and my fault that the gym exploded. He dared to call me terrorist and crap like that. I almost yelled, Hello, I'm a thirteen years old kid and had no idea how created a bomb. They teach me how to make medicine in my university for god sake, not bomb! I can create a lethal poison but not bomb! I quickly grabbed a nearest dodge ball and threw it at Sloan direction.
"Hey, Sloth!" I yelled.
Sloan stupidly turned to face me, and got hit by a rubber ball at high speed and accuracy, right in his face. I bet I managed to knock a few of his front teeth off and broke his nose. Using that momentum, I bolted right into the outside of the gym and kept ran through the backyard of my school into some sort of shady alleyway. I heard a pair of footstep behind me and I took a quick glanced back, I saw Percy and Tyson followed me from behind. And I didn't pay attention to my front again, when I look forward again I saw Annabeth took a side step and narrowly missed me. Shamefully, I crashed into trash cans, lots of them. I heard a loud crashing down and I landed on a pile of garbage, I blinked rapidly and looked at Annabeth with dazed looks. The blond chick only gave me disgusted looks with a hint of pity.
"Uh, you got" Annabeth said while pointing at my head "A banana peel and a cup of instant noddle on your head"
I sighed and quickly cleaned my hair, but I couldn't do anything with my scent. It a mix between burnt fabric and hair, sweat, and trash.
"You look like a homeless person" Annabeth commented and waved her hand around her nose "I think I have something to help you with the smell"
She then tossed me a perfume with the sweetest scent in my entire life and the perfume is for girls. Not me, I'm way too manly to use that.
"This is a girl perfume and it'sscent over powering as hell" I said and shoved it back at Annabeth.
"Just use it!" Annabeth said in loud voice.
Annabeth snatched the perfume and sprayed it on my face, yeah you heard it right, my god damn face. I screamed bloody murder because my eyes caught it, and my nose even worse, hell, I can even taste the perfume. Plus, Annabeth use the whole bottle to spray me or doused me with it.
"That's better" Annabeth said and threw the empty bottle.
"Is this a payment for showering you with monster dust?" I asked in annoyed tone "Eww, I smell like a cheap hooker"
"Hey, wai-" Percy stopped and scrunched his nose in pure disgust "Urgh, Reiner you smell like a cheap perfume and a girl"
I quickly batted my eyelashes and puckered up my lips "You want a piece of me Percy?" I said in flirty tone.
Percy shrieked like a little girl and hide behind Tyson "Argh! Don't get close to me!"
Then Annabeth shrieked like a girl when she saw Tyson, she jumped at me and cling into my arm. She gave my arm a deathly grip and I believed she will leave a mark on it.
"What the hell is that thing doing over there?!" Annabeth asked half yelled and pulled another bottle of perfume with a different scent.
"How on earth you got those things?!" I asked her in bewilderment "I never think you love those kind of perfume! Since when you turned into an Aphrodite daughter?"
Instead of words what I get is another spray into my face.
"Shut up!" she hissed "Is not like that?! I didn't think of anything okay?! This thing just happened on my table and I just happened to grab it! I'm in a hurry, so I didn't see what I stuff into my bag!"
I still screamed bloody murdered and now I smelt like a vanilla or something like that.
"She's pretty" Tyson managed to say that, despite all the comedy that happened in front of him.
When Tyson reached his hand, Annabeth slapped his hand away and managed to spray Tyson face with her perfume. Tyson jumped back with a yelped and knocked Percy down while he's doing it. Percy fell butt first into the street and he cursed loudly.
"Hey! Don't say that, Wise Girl" Percy said while stood up and rubbed his butt.
Annabeth armed herself again with the previous perfume and Percy stopped moving.
"He's a monster okay!" Annabeth said "He's not normal. And no way in hell I'm going to associate with that thing"
"That thing has a name, it's Tyson!" Percy argue "He saved my life!"
"Uh, I saved your life too" I piped in "Can I get a credit too?"
Again Annabeth sprayed my face with the perfume.
"I don't ca-" Annabeth stopped when she heard a loud sound that sound suspiciously like a police car, fire truck and an ambulance siren.
"Crap" I hissed while wiping my eyes furiously "We have to go, now! And no more perfume!" I said while squinted my red eyes at Annabeth.
It's official, I hated bulls, especially magic bull that can breathed fire and had bronze body and had mechanical built. As I ran towards the camp barrier, I stopped for a moment and took a good look at the pine tree that acted as camp magical border, that prevent monster from coming in. The tree is dying slowly, I could see the pine leaf started to wilt and some of them already on the ground, there a hole gaping in the center of the bark, dark greenish liquid dripped from there. The poison that Luke injected to the tree, and that thing made my blood boiled in anger. Did he had no remorse at all? First he tried to kill Percy, and after that he tried to kill me, and now Thalia? How low he willing to stoop just to take a revenge on his own father? I shook my head and ran to the nearest bull, I tapped both of my bracelet and my favorite swords appeared on my hands.
"Hey!" I yelled and the bull busy chasing around the campers.
My eye twitched at this, how dare they ignored me?! I growled angrily and dashed towards the nearest bull, which is happened that Clarisse still handled it. And Clarisse got thrown back by the bull, her spear stuck in the bull mechanic joint. I quickly put my sword in the ground and managed to help Clarisse. Clarisse body hit mine and I caught her, by wrapping my arm around her waist. Clarisse twisted her head around, and her face exploded in red when she realized I'm the one who caught her. She elbowed my gut, and I let her go instantly, I groaned as I held my gut and Clarisse only glared down at me.
"You're welcome" I said in pain.
"I-I didn't ask for your help, idiot!" Clarisse began to stutter "I can take care of it myself!"
"You don't have to gut me, a simple thank you is enough" I said again while picking my swords up.
A bumped in the head, a hard one. I yelped in pain and dropped my sword again, Clarisse cracked her knuckle up. I quickly picked my swords up and stood up straighter, afraid that she will break my nose again. She began to rant about something, about pride and such, completely oblivious about the bull behind her, that already took a stances to ram its horn at her.
"Uh, Clarisse" I interrupted her angry speech "There's an angry bull behind you"
Before Clarisse could react, I pulled her behind me and intercept the bull attack with both of my sword. I'm being pushed back slowly, as the bull began to push me towards a random tree. Then it's began to open it's mouth, my eyes widened at this. Ignoring the consequences, I pulled one of my sword back, and threw it towards the bull mouth. My black swords impaled the bull right in the middle of the mouth. The bull stopped working, and I felt an excruciating pain came from my left shoulder area. A random three branch stabbed me from behind, looks like the bull managed to push me into the tree. Lucky me, it's only my shoulder, not my neck. I gripped my shoulder as I pulled myself forward, I gritted my teeth as the pain intensifies. It's began to bleed, but I ignored it completely, and completely oblivious towards horror, angry and relief look, that Clarisse gave me. Casually I strolled towards the bull dead body, and yanked my sword from its mouth, also the spear. I stabbed the spear on the ground and looked at Clarisse.
"I need your help" I said "I cannot do this alone, especially with my injured shoulder" I gave her small smile "I know you hate me and all, but can we forget about that and help the camp first? Please" I begged.
Clarisse cheek went red for a moment before she clicked her tongue and walked towards me. She pulled her spear from the ground and nodded at me.
"I guess, I'll help" Clarisse grunted "Just for now. And you owe me one, idiot"
I only chuckled as pushed one of my sword bottom hilt. It turned into a bracelet again and this time I only used one sword, since my left hand are injured and all. We jogged towards one of the bull that chased after a poor camper. I spun my sword on my hand, and ready to throw it again, like before.
"Can you make it turn towards us?" I asked Clarisse "I want to try the trick from before"
"Wha-" Clarisse blinked "Are you nuts?! You could die, dumb ass!" she protested
"That's why you here" I said and rolled my eyes "You will pull me away when the time its right, right?"
Clarisse only clicked her tongue "Fine. Just this time"
Clarisse picked up a random rock and threw it at the bull. The rock hit the bull metal skin and amazingly it's managed to get its attention. I almost sweat dropped at it, really? A rock? Then the bull charged towards us, I steadied my sword and readied to throw it. But, a loud thunder got me distracted and turned my head away from the deadly bull.
"Reiner!"
A hand yanked me out of the way, and I stumbled into the ground, almost fell. The bull horn barely missed my sweet ass. Clarisse glared at me and she put her hand on her hips while chided me on my short span of attention. Hey! I got ADHD so don't blame me! But, Clarisse stopped in the middle of her sentences and her face went deadpanned.
"So, the bull" I started casually "Is it behind me?"
Clarisse gave me pity look "I guess I'll try to attend your funeral" then she readied her spear "Or you could just duck"
I yelped when Clarisse thrust her spear into my face, I quickly duck and heard a loud clang from above me. Without thinking, I swiped my sword upwards and heard a sound from metal met metal. My sword got stuck somewhere and I dug it deeper, a loud hissing noise was heard and Clarisse dug her spear deeper into the bull. I quickly rolled away as the bull dropped dead into the ground, bringing my sword with It and judging from the look from Clarisse gave me, there's no way she would help me to lift the bull body up and let me get my sword back. Eh, never mind anyway. It will return to me later.
I looked around and found Tyson already inside the camp with a bull dead beneath him, Percy on the other hand managed to deactivate one. Don't ask me how, and don't complain about how Percy didn't get any of his action record in here, after all this story is about me who got stuck in here, just because the sick and wicked author minds. Trust me, she's evil, more evil than Kronos and Gaea. A random paper garbage flew around and it got stucked on my face, I cursed heavily and pulled the accursed paper from my face. In the middle there a writing in bold letter and looks like the author forgot to turn her caps lock off.
DON'T BREAK THE FOURTH WALL OR I'LL MAKE YOU PAY, AND SEND YOU TO ANOTHER WORLD. REMEMBER I'M THE ONE WHO CONTROL YOUR LIFE. ALSO, TALK TO A HEPHAETUS KID NAMED THOMAS RAYLO. AND YEAH HE'S EXIST, BECAUSE OF ME. JUST SAID TO REPAIR YOUR SWORD AND HE WILL OBLIGED. AND YOU'RE WELCOME DARLING
XOXO
YOUR BELOVED OWNER
I sweat dropped when I read it, of course she will do something like this. I quickly tore the paper apart and let the wind carried it away. I flinched slightly when Clarisse one again grabbed me in the collar and began to drag me all the way into the infirmary, she completely ignoring the look from the camper. She pushed the door opened and forced me to sit on one of the empty bed, she took a canteen full of Nectar and a roll of fresh bandage.
"Open your damn shirt" she said flatly.
I blushed at her statement "What?! Why?! And why are you saying that with poker face?! It's disturbing you know"
She grabbed the end of my shirt, her face turned red too "I'm going to take care of your wound you stupid idiot!" she began to pull it up and I pull it back down "Don't make it harder and embarrassing for me"
"No!" I yelled back "I-I can take care of it myself!"
Clarisse narrowed her eyes "Open it or I have to tie your hand!"
I blushed even harder, and once again my adult male mind, began to wonder to a certain area, which is still forbidden for a 13 years old. Never knew, she's into that kinky stuff, I thought.
"And what exactly do you mean by that?" she asked in dark tone.
Oh crap looks like I said that out loud!
I went pale instantly "No-nothing! Really it's nothing!" I quickly said "Ju-just forget about it"
Clarisse glared at me "Looks like I have to broke your nose"
I quickly shook my head and scooted far-far away from the savage girl in front of me, but Clarisse faster, she grabbed my collar once again and pulled me closer. She already narrowed her eyes and that's instant I know, refused again, it's more than my nose she will break. I timidly opened my T-shirt and put it on the other side. Clarisse only grimaced when she saw the scar that littered my chest, a parting gift from Luke from the last summer, I quickly turned around and let her did her job, which is pretty good. She poured some nectar into the wound and wrapped it tight, a bit tight, but a decent job for someone as savage as her.
"Thanks" I said and put my T-shirt back on.
Clarisse only nodded as she hurriedly exited the infirmary, I only sighed heavily and rubbed my face. Oh yeah, almost forgot about Chiron. He's about to leave the camp, I guess I can catch up to him? I quickly jumped from my bed and ran towards the Big House, dodging some random campers every now and then. I stopped when I almost bumped into Chiron himself.
"Reiner?" he sound surprised "Uh, nice to see you again"
I looked up a Chiron, noticed the bag and the quiver full of arrow by his side "Whoa, what's with that? Are you leaving?" I asked and pretend to be stupid.
Chiron expression changed for a moment "Ah yeah, I'm leaving the camp. Mr. D fired me for what happened"
Oh great, now I had to watch Tantalus acted as a Camp Counselor I guess. I had to watch him chase all the food, because the food ran away from him. I never understood why Zeus nor Mr. D choose that man. He's clearly shady and untrustworthy, I mean come on, even the food hates him!
"But why?" I asked.
"Percy and Annabeth could explain it to you" he said and patted my head "And Percy also already told me about your problem"
"Oh" I said and turned to the side "What did he said?"
"Your nightmare" Chiron said and he put his hand on my shoulder "And promise me one thing. Stay away from Kronos and his minions, and stay here in the camp. I know it's not that safe anymore because of the barrier, but at least you're not alone in here. So, whenever Luke try to get you, someone will be able to help you"
"You know that I can't promise you that right?" I said and shook my head "I mean, I want to find a way to save you and the camp. This is my home, and I won't let anyone take it from me"
Chiron frowned slightly "You do realize what you are capable of right?"
I scoffed and looked away from Chiron, believe me, it's not like that. It's not like I can see the future clearly and the thing that I knew, it's changed! I can only said that because I already knew what will happened. And I'm not an oracle, I'm just a boy who happened to be a demigod, and my father is Apollo also Hades also claimed he owned me for some reason.
"Chiron, I mean…" I clenched my jaw "I can't stand still in here and watch this is happening. Something is fishy and I believed something really bad is going to happened if we didn't do anything about it"
Chiron expression darkened "Reiner, is not that I not trust you. It just…"
"You afraid that I will changed side" I said deadly "Kronos already gave me an offering, but that's not good enough. And I understand that you never trust me, it's because Hades and the fact that my existence is dangerous"
Chiron gave me hurt looks "I want to trust you, I do. But, I can feel you still hiding something from me. From us"
I laughed at it "I understand if you couldn't trust me at all. Beside, I can't tell you something that I still don't understand. There's a good time for everything Chiron, and when the time come I'll tell you"
Chiron sighed and he smiled at me "Sometimes I wondered just how old are you. You are 13 years old, but I could see it in your eyes, you are way older than that. And sometimes you act like an adult and too smart for your own good"
A chuckle escaped my lips "I'm going to miss you and your swear jar"
Chiron laughed and ruffled my hair "I'm going to miss the day when you created some kind of havoc and gave me a headache"
I pouted at him "I told you it not completely my fault"
Chiron laughed again and he flicked his finger into my forehead "Take care Reiner. I'll see you soon"
With that Chiron walked away from me, leaving me behind with guilty feeling. Sorry, Chiron, I said mentally. I can't tell you about all of this, I have a few theories but I cannot prove it. When I got all the answer and got a better understanding about my whole situation, I'll tell you everything I know.
"Are you Thomas Royle?" I asked.
A boy with dark skin, short black hair and sharp brown eyes, nodded without looking up from his working space.
"And you must be Reiner" he said while swung down his hammer to flattened the sword underneath it.
"Yeah, uh, someone just told me that you can fix my sword and enhanced it?" I asked again.
Thomas eyes lightened up as he stopped whatever he's doing "Yeah, I know it. And don't ask me how. It's too complicated"
I only nodded as I handed him both of my bracelets "This is my swords"
"Okay, just leaved it here" he said while wiping his cheek, only to add more oil to it "I'll give it to you tomorrow afternoon, Just came here and said Royle. Okay?"
I just nodded and Thomas shooed me out from his workspace. I quickly obliged and walked to my own cabin. I could felt the tense in the air and I could slice it with butter knife, I stopped when I saw Percy sat near the dock and only watched the water below it. I walked towards him and sat right next to him.
"Hey" I said and Percy jumped from his place.
"Don't sneak up on me like that!" he hissed at me and hit me where my injured shoulder is and he quickly muttered sorry after that.
"How are you holding up?" I asked.
Percy only sighed and stared at the lake with sad and angry looks "I couldn't believe they kick Chiron out it's not his fault that his father is Kronos" Percy looked at me "Do you know about it?"
I only scratched my cheek "No, Chiron didn't tell me about that, but I do know that fact. I read somewhere before."
Percy blinked for a moment before focusing on his hand "I want to help him" he clenched his fist "I mean, there's must be some way to save the camp and bring Chiron back"
I rested my chin on my hand "Any words from Grover? I heard he went somewhere to find Pan"
Percy visibly flinched when he heard that "I-I don't know. I mean, yesterday I had this strange dream. I saw Grover in Florida and something chasing him down"
I only hummed, while my mind racing to various possibilities. That's mean Grover already found the fleece in Polyphemus island and that's a good things, because that's mean the story still followed the main plot. But I believe something changed, something important to the main plot or just some minor things, and I never knew what things is that.
"Reiner?"
I turned and found Percy staring at me "What?"
"Do you know Tyson is a Cyclops?" Percy asked again "I mean, I just knew about that and Annabeth hated Tyson"
I nodded slowly "I knew since the first day I saw him. I can see through the mist"
Percy gave me jealous looks "Oh, so you can see through the mist huh? I cannot see Tyson true form, not until Annabeth told me"
I only chuckled "Don't tell me that you're jealous about my sight? I mean, you can control water, the water can heal you, you can talk to horse, good at sword fighting and control the earth too" then I shook my head "Although I'm more awesome and good looking than you, and the fact that I'm way more better in archery than you, yeah I guess I can understand why are you jealous of me"
Percy pushed my shoulder playfully "Shut up! You are so full of yourself"
"Better than full of kelp" I stuck my tongue out to him.
And that conversation ends with me in the lake.
A little bit of fluff between Reiner and Clarisse, but don't worry, their relationship is more like brother and sister. Nothing more nothing less.
hey, guys I have an idea
how about me making a one shot for this story, I mean, you can request to me.
Like maybe a story where Reiner x Fem!Percy, or Fem! Reiner x Lee. That kind of stuff. Whether it in AU or their world. Or just something random. I will try to write it up. And that chapter will be in this story. And I will decide when I will write and where I'll put it
In the one shot, you can pair Reiner with anyone you want. That story will not be a part of main story. that's why i called it one shot. Even I'll write Yaoi if you want me too.
Ehm, just tell me about that okay? of course dropped your request on th review box or you just can PM me *wink*
I'll be waiting my lovelies 3
