This on is a masterpiece! I laughed so hard that I had tears running down my face. I hope that the humor compensates for a short chapter.
Chapter 10
Evelyn
Evelyn was slowly regaining consciousness. She had seen some seriously disturbing dreams: flashes of a mirrored shield, three headed dogs, human sized bats with bleeding eyes, screaming "Sister! Sister Sistersistersistersister … Then there was this gleaming bald head, the hunreadheaded dragon, four ghostly figures and a big man with a vortex on his shoulders, crying like godsized baby …
Now though she felt just fine. Relaxed. Smooth. Clean. Dry. Warm … And she opened her eyes.
She was lying on dirt. She was on the southern hillside of Mount Tam. She had Percy´s jacket around her. She was wearing Percy´s sweater. And she was in Percy´s arms, her cheek pressed against his chest. She noticed a leathery string around his neck. It had five beads on it. Percy was sleeping, muttering something along with he lines of huge piles of … And fent silent. He was twitching like he was seeing some serious nightmare. Then he sniffed his nose, probaply because he smelled something nasty. Hope that it isn´t because of me … He smells like sea ...She thought, half asleep. Evelyn was sliding towards his armpit. Her eyes was closing, and then opened, wide awake.
My Gods!
She jumped from him, disgusted. Percy fell forward, hitting his face on the ground. He had his head between his legs and he just snored, blowing some dirt in air as he outhaled and then inhaled some. Evelyn couldn´t decide that which was more impressive: his ability to sleep or his flexibility. She settled on being disgusted.
Evelyn looked around. The sky was clear and the sun was shining over San Fransisco. She glanced at Percy´s watch. It was 10.43 am. Then she remembered her dreams, especially the one with big baby. Every muscle on her face recoiled and then relaxed.
Evelyn was eyeing Percy with a smooth face, as if thinking something. She turned, pulled off Percys sweater and then walked to their backpacks and put on her somewhat ripped hooded jacket. When Evelyn was done with that she flipped her hood on, shielding her face from the sun and walked behind Percy and kicked him in the buttocks, saying "Rise and shine, sleepyhead." in a singsong voice.
"Grah! What the Hades!" roared Percy and sat up.
"You got some dirt on your face." said Evelyn, her face as smooth as Percys was a few hours back. "Here, allow me." and hit his face with her open palm just when Percy turned his head to her and thus, the dirt was knocked off. Percy spinned around four times in the spot.
Percy splattered. Then he turned to Evelyn again. He was angry and shouted "Oh, ha ha! I get it!"
"And?" Asked Evelyn, her face expression as blank as some bulldogs have when some random hand is trying to snatch their favorite bone in front of them.
"... And I will not do it again!"
"You are so adorable." Evelyn said, her every word dripping with venom and her voice sounding extremely pissed off. Her anger had only now descended to a level where it could be displayed in a tone.
Percy just stared at her, with wide eyes and rubbed his cheek like some retard.
"Yes, ma´am."
Evelyn stared at him, only Gods know how long. Then she closed her eyes and counted to ten. She opened her eyes.
"So, where do we go now?" She asked, in even voice.
Percys eyes seemed to ask whether he could breath again. Then he took a breath and managed to say "To the Legion of Rome, in an island called Nicasio Reservoir, north of here!"
Evelyn just closed her eyes and counted to ten. She opened them again asked "So, where do we go now?"
Percy jumped and announced "Oh! We walk down the mountain and take a ride to the island!" Then he grabbed both backpacks and ran down from the mountain as an demonstration.
"I see"
I don´t own Percy Jackson or Olympians because Percy got owned by Evelyn. Rick Riordan only owns the rights. Review for Gods sake!
By yours truly, The Somebody.
