A/N hoy. . .
I'll do an A/N at the end. . .
Enjoy. . .
Percy POV
Three months had passed in a flash. Something had happened before Christmas with Ron's dad and they were sent home one day early. We went to meet them and stayed with them for the Christmas holiday. We got to meet Harry's godfather Sirius who is great for my taste.
The holiday was short lived since today we were already one week in into the new year in school. If that makes any sense. It sucked. We had contacted camp once because the connection sucked and it was a pure pain in the ass.
For three months I had waited for another sign from He-who-shall-not-be-named, Voldemort. But none came. I was beginning to worry about something happening soon, I just didn't know what.
Harry kept giving me death glares every so often, every two minutes he would glance at me, making sure I wand t backstabbing him. Ah Harry. He was a great teacher though. In those few months of the DA meetings I had learned more than I did during DADA. Oh wait, I don't do DADA anymore. My bad.
~.~.~.~
It was Sunday. Oh good ol' Sunday. Perfect day for many, not for me. We were sitting at the Gryffindor table in our usual spots.
My arm was around Annabeth's shoulder and we were messing around. "Come on, eat the broccoli Seaweed Brain."
"But I don't like it Wise Girl." I pouted.
She pushed my arm off of her shoulder. "No kisses until you eat them." She said.
"You're joking?" I asked. "You can't do that."
"Watch me." She grinned.
I picked my fork up and was about to pick the piece of vegetable when there was a loud noise coming from outside. I wasn't the only one to hear it. I glanced towards the closed doors of the great hall.
"I sense trouble." Nico said.
"Agreed." Annabeth said.
I looked at the headmaster. "I'll take care of it."
"Of course you will." Thalia said.
I ignored her and ran to the headmaster's table. "I need to get control over this." I said as he nodded.
"Do what you have to do Jackson." He said to me. "And be careful."
Another boom that shook the entire hall. At this point the students were starting to panic. Some were screaming, others were running around. "Silence!" I yelled over the noise.
Everyone stopped on their tracks to look at me. "Everyone listen to me." No one moved an inch. "I need you all to move to the sides and be close to the wall."
Still no one moved. Dumbledore stood up from behind me. "Do it." At those two words everyone stood up and moved to the sides. Everyone except Annabeth, Nico and Thalia. They were standing just below the head table. The headmaster whipped his wand out and stocked the tables on top of each other. Two went to one side of the wall, while the other two went to the other side, they were somewhat of a shield for the students.
"What's going on?" Asked Umbridge.
Whatever was on the other side banged on the door again, luckily they didn't break yet. I turned around. "Just shot up." I snarled.
To say she looked offended would be an understatement, she looked outraged by my show of disrespect, not that I cared.
I got into the middle of the room. "Be careful Percy." Annabeth called out for me.
I didn't turn but I nodded. I heard Thalia mutter something along the lines, "the idiot's never careful."
I chuckled. I some what jumped when one of the windows on my right shattered and a huge black thing flew in. The beast on the other side hit the doors again. I glared at the Pegasus. "What is it Blackjack?" I hissed out loud.
Blackjack reared on her back legs. 'Big bad monster on the other side to the door boss'.
I wanted to slap him. "Do you think I don't know that?" I asked. "Just-"
I stopped when the doors flew open. "Stay outside and be ready for when I call you." Blackjack whinnied and flew back the way he came.
I turned my attention back to the monster that had just entered the great hall. This one, I knew I had already killed twice. He was the first thing I had ever killed in my demigod life. Although the first time he was wearing only his boxers, he now looked like the second time I had fought him. His ugly body was decorated by celestial bronze armour and he held his omega shaped Ω shaft.
"Hey beef boy." I said out loud. "Long time no see."
If anyone would have heard that they might have thought I was crazy. Well maybe I was, but I needed to know a few things before I killed him, again.
"Perseus Jackson." He bellowed. "You're time to choose is at an end."
I stiffened and I saw Harry's eyes glare at me. "Oh so you work with him?" I said. "What exactly as he offered you?" I asked. "First it was Hades, for my neck. Then it was Kronos, still for my neck. Now what has he offered you? Me again. That once he's done he'll just toss me over to you and you can finally kill me."
The Minotaur shook his head. "This time it is not you and you know it." He raised his hand and pointed at the students in the hall. "They may not smell or taste as good as you half-bloods, but it's still good enough."
"And yet." I said causally putting my hand in my pockets. "You come here on a suicide mission."
He growled, "choose and it's over."
I smiled sweetly at him. I took out my pen and he eyed it warily. "Dear friend," I faked writing on an imaginary piece of paper, "you should really stop coming into my life and trying to kill me."
I stretched out my arm with the imaginary piece of paper. "It's for you beef boy." I said.
He growled. "All right." I said tightening my grip on riptide. "I'll give you a choice. You turn around, and go back to your master. Or we fight." I stopped to look at him, I so loved messing with monsters like this. He looked so confused. "You're choice."
"Choose." He growled. "Join him or doom these wizards to a fight they cannot possibly win, they are no demigods.
"Okay then." I got in a fighting stance. "If you see him again, which you probably and hopefully won't, tell Voldemort," everyone in the room gasped at the name, I ignored it. "That I'd rather fight a fight we're bound to lose than join him."
I gave everyone a moment to understand what I had just said. Some gasped, including my friends from behind. After that I broke loose. I uncapped riptide and many student stepped back. My sword grew into it's full size. I wasn't the one to attack, the Minotaur was. He came at me at full speed. Wrong move buddy. I vaulted on him and when I landed I brought riptide down. It was a lucky shot I must say but the blade found the exact spot where his back wasn't covered and it sunk in hilt deep.
From this angle I could see Annabeth, Nico and Thalia. They were scowling and Annabeth was shaking her head. "I'm sorry." I whispered though it was blearily audible.
Just one stab wound wasn't going to kill the beef guy near me. I plucked my sword out and slashed wildly at his head. It. . .came off of his shoulders and it all disintegrated into a pile of dust. For a moment I was standing still in the middle of the great hall with more than four hundred pair of eyes set on me.
I must have looked like I was crazy because when I looked at Annabeth she seemed afraid. "You need to help me out with this Wise Girl."
'Blackjack be ready.' I said telepathically.
'Right under the window boss. Ready to catch you.'
She was about to ask me what I was talking about, but I didn't give her the time, I know, dick move. But as of now I did not want to explain what had just happened to her. I capped my sword and sprinted off to the nearest window which was empty. I crashed into it with my shoulder and for a moment I was free falling. Then a black figure swooped in and I gracefully landed on Blackjack's back. 'Thanks buddy.' I said.
'No problem boss'.
A/N so yeah. . .
I love writing this chapter bcs it contained action and I've been waiting to do it since forever. Plus it entertains me way more to write action filled chapters than filler ones.
I hope you enjoyed, cuz I did. . .
So Percy did not turn. . .or will he. . .
Hunter out
