DAHLIA GRACE
Stupid fish face. I run in to save him and he goes unconscious! I had to defeat another ten monsters on my own, which wasn't easy. But I did it. With a little flying and a little lightning and only a bit of charm speak. Well, at least they perished. Meanwhile, Andrew got a good sleep. I waited for almost half an hour before he came to.
I rushed to him when I saw him stir a bit. Really fast, he opened his eyes and screamed out' Dahlia!' which caused me to blush. A bit.
He sat up jerkily and sighed when he looked at me. After a while he smiled. I slapped him in the head, very lightly.
"Ow! What was that for?" he asked.
"Fool. I come rushing in to save your sorry butt and you fall unconscious."
"Oh. Sorry." He replied with a lopsided grin. That made me laugh. I hadn't laughed in days. Neither slept. My journey to this place had been, well long and hard.
"How did you get here?" he asked, as if reading my mind.
"All I can say is it wasn't pretty."
"It's amazing how you survived on your own and I- I couldn't even do it with help."
"What do you mean with help? Did you meet someone?" I asked suddenly curious.
"Actually yeah. She was right here when the monsters came. But one moment she was here and the next poof!"
"She? Was she a demigod?"
"Yeah. Apparently from the Roman camp, otherwise I would've recognized her from CHB. Her name was Medeandra." That name just clicked in my head. I'd heard it somewhere, I knew it. Suddenly, there was a bright flash which caused me to close my eyes. When I opened them, there was a girl looking down at me and Andrew. She was our age with a slim body, blonde hair and a pretty face. Naturally, I raised my gladius.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"Hey it's okay Dahls. This is Medeandra. The one I told you about." He said getting up.
"Okay." I said lowering it. I felt jealousy.
"Rather violent ha? More Roman than Greek." The girl said. There was something about her name.
"Maybe because I am."
"But Andrew told me that you live at camp half- blood." She said.
"Well I do live there but I'm half and half."
"Oh. Are your parents Jason Grace and Piper Mclean?" That was startling.
"How do you know them?" I asked in an alarmed tone.
"Oh I know them. From before."
"How?"
"It doesn't matter. Andrew did you find the thing you wanted?" she asked, facing him.
"You told her!?" I exclaimed.
"Please excuse us." He said to Medandra dragging me to a corner.
"Are you crazy? She could be a traitor or a fake?" I whisper yelled.
"Jeez calm down princess. I didn't tell her anything."
"Okay. Though didn't you find anything weird about her name?"
"Yeah. I get this gut feeling. But I don't know. I guess we can trust her. She's helped me come this far."
"Kay." I said in defeat.
We then returned to the girl.
"Now what?" she asked.
"Have you searched thoroughly?" I asked.
"Yes mam." He replied, smirking. I rolled my eyes.
"Are you sure?" I asked, running my hands along the walls.
"I don't think you'll find it here." The girl said.
"You don't even know what 'it' is." I said.
"Yes I do. You two are looking for the missing jewel from the Death chest. And I assure you it's not here." Immediately I spun around, facing both of them. I first looked at her with a shocked expression and then my eyes met with Andrew's. We both raised our weapons at her.
"Okay who are you? And how do you know that?" Andrew asked. Simultaneously, we moved in, circling around her.
"Like I told you I'm Medandra." She said. "You may know me better by the name Medea." She said. Of course! She was the one mom, dad and Leo had encountered on their first quest. The one who could charm speak. The one who'd forced Dad versus Leo.
"Finally figured it out dear?" she asked me, seeing my expression. Minutes later even Andrew realized. Dumb head.
"Where is the jewel then?" I asked.
"Oh that. It's in the depths of Chaos. Right where I'm sending you." She finished and a hole opened under my feet. Instantaneously, I fell in. I tried controlling the wind, but it was just impossible. I thought I was going to die in this fall, but then my body slammed into the hard ground beside me. I looked up and realized that Andrew had caught me. He was hanging on to a thin ledge, the size of a bookshelf. I knew it that we wouldn't be able to make it. Our weight was too much for him to pull up on his own. And my stupid powers stopped working just when I needed them. I tried and tried, but to no avail. It was me or him.
"Andrew let me go." I said tears forming in my eyes. I looked down and saw nothing but darkness.
"No." he said grunting. It was way too difficult for him.
"I can't use my powers. Let me go and you'll live." I said, in a squeaky voice.
"Never. Just hold on." He said and then he let go of the ledge. I crashed my body with his and he wrapped his arms around me. And with that we fell down towards nothing.
I know that I have made it VERY similar to that HOH moment but I couldn't help it. If I've made anyone angry or upset because this is Percabeth's big thing, I'm terribly sorry...also I don't own anything, except the children.
Also, the next chapter will be a preview of the sequel of this. Please review and follow!
