Penelope Grace
I woke up in shock. i was surrounded by my parents. "Hi?"
My mother stroke her hair, "Hi baby. How are you feeling?"
"I've been better." I laughed, it hurt. But I didn't let it show. I felt the pain in my leg. I groaned.
"Don't move." A new voice moved toward me. It was a familiar face. One I hadn't seen in years, "If you move, you might make the damage in your leg permanent."
I tried to nod but couldn't. 'Don't force it, Penelope. Don't be stupid.'
"Yes Penelope, don't be stupid."
I looked around, no one, 'Im just imagining it.'
"I'm in your mind." I could feel her smiled, "I quite like it here, it's very cozy."
'How?'
She laughed, a laugh-filled with venom and hatred. "When you feel to the ground after killing me you absorbed some of my blood." Amphitrite smiled, "There are only a few ways for me to get out of your head. Then I will be truly dead, yet all of these are- well, impossible."
'Tell me.' I demanded
Her laughter was cut short. "Don't use that tone with me- little girl."
'You're right, I am a little girl! The little girl who killed you. Your blood is in the hands of a child. I control you bitch."
She laughed, "Well, first you'd have to kill yourself, and then be brought back to life, yet, we all saw how that turned out."
Amelia...
"Okay, what else."
"Kill a loved one, drink a siren's blood, or, my personal favorite, kill Perseus Jackson."
I woke up with a start, "What the-"
We were back at camp. I looked around me. I was still in pain. "What happened?"
Zoe walked up to me. She hugged me. "I just wanted to thank you. I- I owe you my life."
I smiled, a fake smiled, "You don't owe me anything."
She nodded, "Well, if you need anything. Just tell me."
She looked, brighter? It was weird. I've "Known" Zoe for years yet she wasn't like this. It like she was relived. Like her shadow was finally gone and she was shining. It was nice. Everyone looked brighter, except me. I looked- dirty. Yet, I was scared to shower. I was scared of the water.
A/N: It looks like the next chapter is the last chapter. Thank you all for reading. It's been a joy to write and finish a book for you all to read and enjoy.
