I'm baaaaaack!
Annabeth walks out of the Big House, eyes red and puffy from crying. She walks towards her cabin when the branches behind her rustle. Turning around slowly, she draws her dagger, and she points it at the trees.
"Whoever's there, come out. I can hear you."
She stands there for a few moments, but nothing happened. She sighs and turns around when something swoops down and grabs her, carrying her high up, and fast. Annabeth struggles, kicking and punching, trying to hit whatever's got her, but all she hits is air. So she settles down, hoping that whatever it is won't drop her. The ground passes underneath her, whizzing by.
Soon, quicker than she thought, they arrived at an abandoned building. Annabeth was dropped on the roof, but she instantly got up and turned to face what had carried her there.
Standing there was a girl, about her age, with sandy blond hair. She has an expression of dislike on her face. It's Max again.
"What now?" Annabeth asks, her voice wavering.
The wind whistles, tossing the bird girls hair around.
The silence stretches on Max asks, "You still want to help Percy, right?"
"" Will you let us help you?"
"If it means getting Percy back, then yes. But we will do it at my place."
"Fine."
Max whistles, and five more bird kids join her on the roof.
"Ready?" she asks Annabeth.
"No. How, exactly, can you fly?"
Max looks annoyed, but she goes on to explain.
"I am a genetically altered human, combined with bird D.N.A. to form, well, me. This is my Flock. We all happened to be at the same place. That is Gazzy, Iggy, Fang, Nudge and Angel. Are we good now?"
"That will have to do for now."
"Good."
Max takes off, grabbing Annabeth, and flies back the way that they had come. The landscape whizzes by again, and soon they get to familiar ground. Camp Half-Blood.
Max sets Annabeth down, and she gestures toward the cabins, saying, "Lead the way."
Annabeth starts walking. The Flock walks behind her, tucking their wings away and out of sight. The closer they get to the camp, the more the campers notice. Soon, a sizeable crowd has formed outside of the camp, waiting for them.
Clarisse steps forward and asks, "Who first?"
Annabeth knows, without even seeing, that that is a bad idea.
"Don't," she warns.
Clarisse ignores her and continues to look at the Flock. The Flock, on the other hand, are starting at each other, and they come to some sort of agreement, but Max obviously doesn't like it. She sighs but she steps forward.
Two simple words are spoken.
"Bring it."
I just realized that I accidentally had Annabeth be kidnapped twice for the same reason. Sorry...
Now, please comment. I would greatly appreciate it. I will update ASAP.
