"What i-is t-t-that?" Annabeth stuttered. She was going to make a run for it but I stopped her.
"Oh no you don't. You are helping me." I told her. She looked frozen in fear. Percy pulled me somewhat up and I grabbed the earth next to me. I clawed at it while my mom made it disappear and I made it reappear. I finally escaped.
Don't try to disobey me. My mom said.
"Watch me." I muttered. Earthborn appeared everywhere. Now, you might be thinking, why would Gaea attack her own daughter? This actually happens frequently. Mostly every time I get my mom mad she does this. I took out my weapons.
Will you join me now? She asked.
"Not gonna happen. Get out of your little world and call off the earthborn." I said.
Then die. She said.
"Thanks for the love mom." I said. I had my sword out. The earthborn advanced. They pushed Percy and Annabeth out of the way.
"Kill Vida." They chanted.
"Guys, Bob, Billy, friends. You really don't want to attack me. You want to go back to your mom." I puppy dog talked them. They looked confused for a second.
"No. We want you die." One said. The rest cheered in agreement. Earthborns don't normally have the best grammar, just enough to be understood.
"Um Vida?" Percy asked. I was too busy killing earthborns. I had barely even realized Percy was there. The conversation had mostly been between me and Annabeth so I hadn't paid attention.
"What?" I asked as I stabbed and earthborn in the stomach. It sunk into the ground. The good thing is that my mom is nice enough to not have them reborn once I kill them.
"What is this?" He asked. Annabeth was still in a stunned trance. Great help these demigods are. Demititans are so much better.
"My mother's idea of fun." I said. I sliced an earthborns neck. These guys may look scary but they are really stupid. I killed the last one. The rest began to go together. I was confused for a second before the formed. They formed into Demeter's giant. The one with control over earth.
"What do we do?" He asked.
"We run." I said. I grabbed his and Annabeth's arms. We ran. We ducked under trees, I had to because I was with them. I looked behind me. Big mistake. I ran into a tree. I fell back.
"Come on Vida." Annabeth urged.
"This is why I have the plants move for me. So that this doesn't happen." I muttered to myself. Annabeth pulled me up. I felt light headed. The giant, Retemed, was gaining. We came into the clearing. We begnato scream to all the demigods.
"RUN! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE IF YOU WANT IT!" We all screamed. Once they saw Retemed they ran. Retemed trampled over the camp. Building crashed beneath her feat.
"What is this thing?" Lou asked.
"My mom's form of revenge. She doesn't like people back-talking her." I said.
"Your mom?" She said.
"No time to talk." I said, "HEAD FOR THE WOODS. RETEMED WILL HAVE A HARDER TIME FINDING US!" I called. Everyone obeyed. Soon we were in the dark of the woods. I heard everyone scrambling to hide. I knew where they all were. I do after all know every plant here. I pushed Lou into a bush. She resisted but I put my hand over her mouth.
"OVER HERE GENIUS!" I screamed at the giant. I ran through the woods making sure not to have any demigods hurt in the process. I escaped the woods and kept running. I ran so fast. I hope I don't get tired too fast. I ran. Trees flew by me. I was getting tired. Fast. Retemed wasn't slowing. I kept running. I was really tired. I was dehydrated. I felt horrible. I was stumbling. I was in the city now. I kept running. I couldn't keep it up anymore, I tripped and fell flat on my face. Retemed laughed. For some strange reason New York was empty. You may think I am saying empty like Disneyland empty where there are people just not allot. I mean seriously empty. No one was around.
"So I guess Gaea's little pet is hurt?" She said with fake sympathy.
"If you think you can kill me try!" I screamed at her. I knew she couldn't. I would just heal.
"I know what will hurt you demititan." She called down. She picked up a club. It was made of the earth. Crud. Not good.
"We can work out our differences. You know violence is not always the answer."
"To me it is." Retemed boomed.
"that is not a good way to think. You should see a-" I started but she swung her club at me. I dodged out of the way, "therapist." I finished. she swung her club again and I jumped out of the way.
"Now Retemed. Breathe. Take a deep breath." I said while dodging her strikes.
"Don't tell me what to do midget." She said.
"Hey, I'm not a midget. I may not be twenty feet all but I am NOT a midget. I am actually pretty tall para mi ano." I called to her. I guess I wasn't paying attention because she swung her club again and it hit my back.
My back. My back. Why is it always my back. It has been so abused. I hit a wall back first. Still my back. Always my back. Abuse I tell you. I abuse my own back. I collapsed onto the ground. I felt like crud. I rolled in pain. She raised her club. I needed to heal.
"Now Retemed. We know you wouldn't kill me." I said smiling. She had a confused look on her face. Exactly what I was going for. I just needed to stall her.
"Kill Vida! I will be Gaea's favorite. Not her petty demititan child!" She screamed as she brought down her club. Suddenly she just disappeared in a cloud of dust. I was confused. The only way she would disappear is if someone killed her. I looked up and saw Annabeth, Percy, Lou, Chiron. Great (fake happiness).
"Vida? What were you thinking?" Chiron asked.
"You know me. I don't always think per say." I said. I heard the demigods chuckle. I waited a second then got up. I wobbled a bit before getting my footing.
"How are you standing? You got slammed against a wall." Lou exclaimed.
"Long story." I said.
"Demititan?" Percy asked. Of course that's what he remembered. Of all that happened that's what he remembered.
