Chapter 14- The Calm before the Storm.
~ Joshua Alejandro Fernandez
(Jason's POV)
This was it. The greatest battle that these games have ever seen was about to begin. Percy started to scan the environment to see where his strongest places for battle would be, I was doing the same. Then I started to look at Percy's trident, one of the most powerful weapons in the games, but I too had a powerful weapon, the apprentice's bolt. After scanning, our eyes met and we simply nodded, signalling the beginning of a fierce battle. But before we could make our first moves, Piper could have been seen running up the hill and she seemed to be screaming
"Wait! Wait! Wait!"
Percy pulled out his trident and took aim at Piper, but I zapped his hand and made him drop his trident and simply told him
"Just wait."
Piper arrived on the field breathless, but with a serious look on her face. I was approaching her to talk, but she brushed me aside and was heading towards Percy.
"Percy, I know that you want to kill me, but just listen to what I have to say," Piper said.
"Wh-where's Annabeth?" Percy asked.
"Percy…Annabeth's dead." Piper said.
You could actually see the hurt and pain on Percy's face when he learnt that his girlfriend died.
"She wanted you to know that she loved you a lot," Piper said softly.
"That's nice, at least she still loves me…or did…" Percy cried.
The realisation of what had happened had just hit Percy. Percy's expression of sadness on his face quickly turned into anger.
"You…you killed Annabeth…you…killed her…." Percy said.
"You're going to pay for what you did! I don't care if this fight was supposed to be between Jason and I, you WILL die today and you will die by MY hand!" Percy screamed.
Piper was scared out of her mind, and Percy's mind was set on killing her. I knew that Piper wouldn't last five minutes against an opponent of Percy's calibre. I had to step into this fight, I couldn't lose Piper…not again. I prepared my weapons as I headed towards Percy to begin the final battle of the 100th Immortal Games.
