Annabeth's POV
I was pushed up against the car door so hard you could hear my arm snap. "AH!" Percy quickly unbuckled and came to my aid. "What was that?" Nico shouted and jumped out of the car.
"Where is Rose?" Elle cried. "Annabeth, I think it's broken." Percy told me. I groaned in pain when he moved it a bit. Yep. It's broken. I looked at the scene around us, wait is that… "Are those cupids?" They all looked towards our attackers and surely enough, they were mini cupids.
They pulled back their arrows and aimed. "Get down!" Conner yelled. Percy lifted me up and hid us behind the car in one swift move. BOOM! "Exploding arrows?" Nico cried exasperated. BOOM! Elle shrieked and tripped backwards. "Elle! Are you okay?" Nico called. "Yeah. I found Rose. She's unconscious." Great we were down two people and one doesn't even have a weapon yet.
"Conner!" I called, "Fire your slime arrows!" A devilish look spread across his face, "Happy to, Annabeth." I looked to Nico, "Nico! Get Elle a sword!" He nodded sharply. He focused and stopped the earth. He had created a sword with the metals of the Underworld in one move. "Elle, catch!" And Nico threw it to her. Elle caught it and smiled, "Oh yes. This I can use."
I slowly go to my feet. I pulled out my dagger and Percy grabbed my wrist. "Annabeth. You can't fight. Your arm is broken!" My eyes narrowed at the cupids. "Watch me. ATTACK!"
Sydney's POV
I shook my cage in aggravation. It was Cupid's job to feed me and so far I have received nothing but a fruit roll-up and some of his diet water. Who drinks diet water? How can water be diet? And more importantly, where on earth did he get it? Aphrodite had left to go shopping to get a new outfit for the new season of icarly or something.
All I know is, that I'm alone with Cupid. For a pretty boy I seriously hated that guy. When I first saw him I see this guy I had a crush on in the 5th grade and another one from the 7th and this really hot actor Logan Lerman and then… well you get the idea. Now I see him with shaggy raven hair and dark eyes. It's kind of sexy. But look past all that because I absolutely despise that man.
"Hey! I need food back her, you Barbie doll!" He growled. But I love that he hates me. This means my goal has been reached. "I could strike you dead right now." He threatened. "But your mommy won't let you. Yea my mom used to let me not do stuff…When I was seven!" I taunted. "That's it!" He got up and pushed a big heart shaped button on the TV remote. The TV changed channels and it showed a group of kids of kid in a car. Then it was like there was an explosion on the side of the vehicle. You could see a figure flying out of the car.
And a scream. You could hear a scream. A scream I have heard for many years. On rollercoaster's, when we watched a scary movie, and when we shadow traveled for the first time. "Elle." I breathed. "Stop! What are you doing?" I screamed. He shrugged, "I'm only making their quest for you more interesting." I sunk down in the cage and wrapped my arms around my legs. They were on a quest for me? I'm not all that important. Sure I would love to get out of here (it wasn't that bad) but if one of them died… Tears began building.
"Aw. How sad. Your worthless, you couldn't save yourself even if you tried." Cupid snorted. Something inside of me snapped. I squeezed my eyes shut and heard the crackling of ice and a yelp. I opened my eyes to see the diet water frozen and in the side of the god. He was bleeding the golden blood of the gods.
I held back a gasp. I had no idea I could that and by the look on his face, he didn't know ether. "Why you little B-" "I'm back!" Aphrodite said in cheery voice. Just in time, I thought. "Mother." Cupid said in a kind of creepy voice.
The love goddess sighed and put down her bags. "Alright son. Νέοι και πάλι θα πρέπει να είστε. Η αγάπη είναι ο λόγος. Αγώνας σας είναι σε αναμονή." She spoke. Wait, what? My match? Young? I could hardly think I was having such a hard time keeping my eyes open. I couldn't stay awake any longer. I slipped into a deep sleep.
I am really sorry about how short it is. Next chapter I'll try to make it longer. The greek means Young again you must be. Love is why. Your match is waiting. I like how Sydney and Cupid hate each other. And i will not make Sydney have the same fatal flaw as Percy. That would be too Mary Sue-ish Well, R&R! I do not PJO.
