That voice, it was unlike anything I had heard before.
Annabeth said, "We're Orphans,"
I realized Marion sensed something was wrong, and I quickly said,
"Oh, don't listen to her, our parents are just nearby, this girl is mad. She banged her head against the wall when she was 6 and never quite recovered. Sorry to disturb you Aunty Em,"
"Misery. That's what they say, isn't it? Misery, the greatest weapon, the weapon that made the world turn ugly," She then smiled and shifted the topic seamlessly. "You children seem hungry, come in,"
Something was odd. Some part of me wanted to attack her, but another wanted to run.
"C'mon Guys, we are hungry anyways," Annabeth said. That kind of carelessness didn't seem like Annabeth at all, and only added to my feeling of something being off. She was behaving like Ol' Humpty McHungry
"No. Annabeth-" Marion started to say, but Annabeth dragged her inside. Something was absolutely and most definitely off.
As we followed Aunty Em' we came across a kitchen garden with gnomes of my size. As we walked past, I noticed one that stood out to me. I wasn't sure why until I took a closer look. It was a satyr, and it's face was contorted into one of agony.
"Aunt Em, what's that?"
"Oh, just a flare of imagination. They always come. Are you alright? You've gone pale,"
"EVERYONE RUN!" I screamed as I realized who she was.
"Unfortunately dear, I can't let you go yet," Medusa hissed
She held Annabeth tightly and took off her veil. I shouted, "DO NOT LOOK AT HER SHE'S MEDUSA!"
But I guess everyone had understood what I meant by now.
"Annabeth, stand still."
I dragged Percy out of the way and whispered, "Put riptide there, NOW!"
"Yessiree," he said. He really never loses his sense of humour, does he?
"My dearie, your parents abandoned you, but no longer. Now they can admire your statues for all of eternity. Come on now, open your eyes," she said to Annabeth. Annabeth had her eyes scrunched quietly, but I could see her weakening.
"MARION, ABOUT HOW MANY SNAKES CAN YOU FEEL?"
"I DON'T KNOW! HOW MANY HAIRS DO YOU HAVE ON YOUR HEAD?!"
"JUST RUN, I'LL MEET YOU THERE PERCY." My expression must be so wild that Percy just nodded and dragged Marion away.
"Robin dearie, won't you at least be so kind as to mind your manners," Medusa said as I wildly lunged at her.
I turned my hands into a Racoon's and charged into battle.
It was good that Aunt May had once told me that Racoons may seem sweet in Cartoons but Snakes are deadly scared of them. And of course when I turned my hands into a Racoon's all the Snakes on medusa's head backed up. Medusa screamed "aahhh my head" As the smakes were pushing Medusa backwards,
I took them where we had attached Percy's sword in the wall and then as Medusa's head was scared of me they backed when I imitated Racoon they pushed themselves and of course Medusa towards the sword I shouted " Annabeth KICK" She kicked Medusa and soon the sword was coming out of Medusa's stomach.
But the problem was that I couldn't feel my hands, a snake had bit them and as I fell down my body turning the shade of the night sky, Marion shouted –"NOOOOOOOOOOO"
I could feel a sudden glow from my body, it was golden, above me standing I knew who it was
" Ol' nephew very brave
He looks as if he is in a daze
Maze of body,
Healing I give
For I wish him a long live !"
