Chapter 14
Leo POV
I was in complete shock.
She had now drawn her sword. She looked back to normal now at least. Her eyes didn't look drowsy and pinkish. They were back to their normal serious true gray. Her breath didn't smell like that weird potion that much, but the smell still lingered.
"So you're not all drunk off love potions anymore," Percy joked.
She glanced at the cliff and then at him.
"Not necessarily, I'm still really horny. But the rest of me is normal. Which means I can still kick monster ass, and fend for myself."
Percy's eyes grew wide at her first sentence and then he turned to me. "Yep, she's back." "Which means, the whole time…?" I was trying to figure too many things out at once. "Nope, not the whole time. Just when we started walking on the beach," Lydia yelled down from the top of the cliff.
"Bro, I think she let you hold her that whole time, and she kissed you. She likes you," Percy said, grinning.
I slowly smiled. Then I started laughing as I climbed behind Percy. Annabeth, Frank, Hazel, Jason, Piper, and Lydia waited at the top for us. "Guys," Annabeth said, pulling us up, "we have an idea about what the prophecy means." Jason's face was grim. "We think that the fourth line is talking about my dad, and the fifth line is talking about me and something to do with Athena."
"We already figured that out down there," Percy exclaimed.
"But, I stole a little something from the god of love." Percy pulled a fortune cookie form his pocket and unwrapped it. "A fortune cookie? Really Seaweed Brain?" "We're gonna save the world with the cookies," Annabeth shouted.
Percy laughed.
"Oh but Annabeth, this is not just any fortune cookie. This is a magical fortune cookie! It answers any question you ask, transports you anywhere you want, and is a tasty snack!"
"Mmmm," Frank nodded.
Annabeth glanced at Percy and a smile spread across her face. "Ok Seaweed Brain, maybe you're on to something."
The sky rumbled and shook. Loud claps of thunder made the ground vibrate beneath us. People were screaming all around us. Everyone had now drawn a weapon and was ready to fight. Lightning spread across the sky and violent rain began to fall.
"Ok? Random freak storm in Santa Monica," I said slowly.
The wind howled, as if responding to what I'd just said. The sky seemed to lighten up in a huge patch, but the weird elements still continued. "What the hell is going on," Jason shouted over the wind. "Tell your dad to chill out," Percy yelled. Deep, booming laughter surrounded us. I quickly covered my ears, wincing at the sound. The laughing was enough to shatter the streetlamps and the windows of the cars. More screaming.
"Oh my gods," Piper said pointing up at the sky.
