Chapter 10: Piper
One of the tentacles wrapped itself around my left arm. Immediately my arm exploded in pain. I managed to slice the tentacle off with Katatropis, but where the tentacles had grasped me, were small cuts in my skin. They dotted my entire arm, blood leaking fast. I ran into the cabin to get some gauze when I heard another cry out. I looked back to see that the tentacles had surrounded everyone, forcing them into a circle. They were picking at people, throwing them each way. The cry I heard was from Noah. I watched as the tentacle wrapped around his leg and threw him backwards into the water. Percy yelled in defiance and leaped, slashing tentacles out of his way. Percy and Annabeth stood back to back, slicing tentacles. Leo blasted fire, while Frank and Skylar were knocking tentacles out of their way with their bows, drawing back shots at the monster when they could. Nico, Hazel and Thalia together keeping the heads away from snapping up people while the tentacles distracted them. Calypso was inside the cabin working on Jason. Reyna was holding her own against the tentacles. Then a massive explosion from the water shook the boat, and that's when things went wrong.
I was thrown backwards into the table. My back felt on fire with pain, my head filled with cotton, but I managed to stand. I peered outside, and saw chaos. Apparently the wave distracted everyone's focus. Reyna was being held ten feet in the air, two tentacles wrapped around her abdomen. Blood was leaking from the wounds. Skylar and Frank were both out of arrows. Annabeth's shoulder was soaked with blood. Nico was out cold, thrown across the deck. Noah seemed to be okay. He was back on deck, standing next to Thalia, throwing the monster off with waves that crashed into it's hide. Sweat was beading down his face, and I could tell he was already drained. I ran over to Hazel, who was trying to get Reyna out of the monsters tentacles, but the tentacles seemed to have a mind of their own, moving away every time we got close. "Help." I screamed. Noah looked over, which got him slammed across the deck. "HELP." I screamed louder. Percy and Frank glanced over. The look on Percy's face turned from fear to rage. He summoned a wave that threw the monster off balance, then threw his sword. But it was poorly aimed, and the hilt sailed harmlessly over the tentacle.
Frank ran over and changed into an eagle. He soared up and slashed the base with his claws, but the wounds just steamed then closed up. The battle raged on around me, but I couldn't focus on it. I could see Reyna struggling against the bonds. Her face was pale and beaded with sweat. Blood was leaking from her even faster. In pure desperation I threw the dagger. It was a true hit, cutting the blade clean, but I had just tossed my only weapon into the ocean. It may be worth it. Unfortunately, Reyna thrashed herself into the ocean. Percy immediately leaped in after her. I ran back to the center of the deck, to see Skylar nursing Noah in the corner, while Thalia and Annabeth held off the heads. We were losing people fast, and we didn't know what to do. We were too far to reach the heads, and cutting off tentacles didn't seem to do much. Leo was not making much progress blasting fire every direction and yelling out some unflattering things about snakes and octopuses. I was taking in all this, weaponless, which was stupid of me, looking back on it. A tentacle snuck up on me.
"Piper." Hazel yelled, but I reacted too late. It wrapper around my leg and picked me up. I dangled as the tentacle lifted me higher, above its mouth. I flailed wildly trying to slap the tentacles to let go of my leg, which blood poured out of and dripped onto my face. Far below, I saw Percy carrying Reyna to the hall, and people looking up at me. I only saw 5 people still fighting. I realized this was my end. I would never get to see anyone again. Never see Jason again. A single tear raced up my head. I didn't even scream as the monster dropped me.
