Katie POV
"Jesus! Leo duck!" Jason was shouting as a sword came at him. I wheeled back and punched a man in the face, it was hard to move in my dress, we were somewhere in the UK in like the 1200s.
"Calypso, your right!" I yelled to her and squeaked when a spike came close to hitting me. I ran and grabbed a spear from a dead body. I bent down and undid my dress to move more freely. I was just in an under dress thing now and I ran forwards with the spear.
"Katie left!" Annabeth yelled while stabbing a guy in the neck. I turned and ran the spear into a guy. I screamed as he slid off, I just killed a guy! Jesus Christ. "Katie!" someone yelled and I looked around to see two guys coming at me. I grabbed another spear and threw one at the first then the other at the second, the first one hit the guys chest while the second landed right of the other. I scrambled to grab something and found a broad sword. I lifted it and swung at his chest while he cut my leg on his way down. I winced and limped away towards Percy who was the closest to me. He was fighting off some men and I grabbed my spear and threw one at the guy going for Percy's back. I grabbed the other and moved as quick as I could towards Percy. I stabbed a guy in the neck and felt my tears in my eyes, I was killing people but I had to, they would kill me and my friends.
"Kates, your leg" Percy said. I laughed and took my spear out of the dead guys neck. I heard a scream and saw Piper, Calypso, Leo, and Jason were being taken away, beaten and bloodied. I felt Percy pick me up and I hung on to my spear. I threw it when we got closer and hit one dude square in the back. But there were so many. I landed on my feet and winced at the deep cut in my lower leg. Travis came running towards us, drenched in blood and sweat but still hot as hell. I took another spear and threw it. Percy and Travis got me more spears to throw until there were three men left and they got away from me. I grunted and Percy picked me back up and ran with Travis to find Annabeth. She was laying on the ground.
"Shit" I said and jumped out of Percy's arms and down on the ground. I bit my lip hard when I hit the ground in pain. I could taste to blood. I looked at her and she was fine besides being knocked out cold. Percy picked her up and slung her over his back. I took a spear and used it as a sort of clutch.
"Where did they go?" I asked. Percy shrugged which woke Annabeth up and she kicked him in the stomach, he dropped her in surprise.
"Annabeth, it's us, everyone else was taken" Travis said. Annabeth looked at us worried and then walked over to a dead guys body. She looked at his chest for a house sigil or something and she sighed.
"I have no clue, but what way did they go?" She asked. I pointed and she started walking. She walked back into the forest and towards where we landed. We went inside and I changed and dressed the wound. I put on leggings and a tank top. I put my hair in a bun and laced up my favorite pair of combat boots. I took the spear with me and hesitantly took the guns Annabeth gave me. I put them in the holsters by my legs and looked at Percy and Annabeth.
"I don't want to kill more people" I said. She nodded.
"They could hurt us, Katie, they're not human, we need to take out whoevers in charge and you have to do that because those guards who you didn't kill saw me, they didn't see you, please, we have to get them out and maybe if we kill the man in charge we can save more lives" she said. I swallowed and took a deep breath.
"Right remember how to use it?" Travis asked and I nodded. He stood next to me and I leaned on my spear.
"What are you guys going to do?" I asked.
"We're going to take out the guards while you and Travis get to the king or lord or whatever, we're getting out friends" Percy said. I nodded and we walked out with each other. I put a clock over myself so I blended in more and we walked and followed the trail.
"You can do it, you've already done it, it'll get easier, that's what my mom told me after I shot my first perp" Travis said. He was training to be in the FBI and was a police officer for a year.
"Thanks Travis" I smiled and he patted my shoulder and we picked up the pace.
"Right, you two, front doors, take them out, don't kill them if you don't have to" Annabeth said. I nodded and we walked to the gates where two men stood. They went at arms when they saw my spear and I swung it and the wooden part knocked one guy out and Travis punched the other. We walked through the gate and into the castle. We walked straight to a sort of large room where many men were. I took a deep breath and Travis put his hand on his gun.
"What is the meaning of this?" the man at the head of the table asked. "At arms!" he barked and the men pulled out their swords. I twisted my wrist around to knock the closest one out and pulled back the cloak. I spun around and hit the men with the end of my spear, not the metal the wooden part.
"Are you holding four people, two men, two women?" I asked. He laughed in disbelief.
"You think you can control me?" he stood up and swung his sword out so it flung my spear across the room. He put the sword to me and Travis was busy holding off the men to notice. "Those two girls, I'll have them in my bed then when they become ripe with a child I'll rip their stomachs apart" he said.
"Really?" I asked.
"But in such a revealing outfit, you make me think you're some sort of whore?" he asked. I glared at him and put my hands on his sword. I ran my fingers forward and twisted around so I was next to the man. I threw his sword across the room and jumped in his arms, I wanted him to bleed slow and painfully, I wanted him to regret what he said. I felt nothing but anger.
"Darling, you know just how to talk to a girl" I said and his arms moved around my butt. I wanted to punch him but instead I pulled out my gun and held it to his stomach.
"Tell me, baby" I whispered to him. "Do you have any children?"
"One son" he said. I smiled and he dropped me. I pointed the gun at his stomach and pulled the trigger. I dropped the gun as the man fell back and put a hand to his stomach in confusion.
"I hope he turns out better than you" I said. I looked behind me at a small boy, he was maybe 9 and I motioned for him to come over to me.
"I won't hurt you, I promise, I just need a word" I said. He came to me in fright that I might shoot him if he didn't.
"Was he a good father to you?" I asked. He looked at his dying father and I saw no tears in his eyes. He shook his head and I nodded at him.
"When you're in charge, be a better man then him, I want you to have something" I handed him my other gun and all my bullets.
"Take this, if you're ever in danger where no one but you can protect you, use this, you saw how I used it? That's how you do it, I want you to become the better man, don't kill unless you have to, this is my repayment for murdering your father, I am so sorry" I said.
"Katie" Travis said. I looked at him and gave him a look.
"Don't ever make a replica of this, you can't, if you must make more bullets like these, if you ever misuse this I will come back and you will regret it" I said. He looked at the gun and I picked up my other one. I put it in the holster.
"How will I know its you and how will you know its me?" he asked. I turned to him.
"The gun, you keep it with you at all times, keep it secret and one day when you see me again, if you do, ask me about your father and if I ever meet you I'll ask the same, how he died, goodbye my king, I assume" I winked and he picked out his dads crown from his head and I walked away.
"You just gave a kid a gun in the 13th century" Travis said. I nodded and he laughed.
"How do you know he'll take that seriously?"
"Because I told him if he didn't I'd be back" I said and we found Percy and Annabeth with our friends. Pipers dress was torn all around and she and Calypso looked as if they had hands all over them recently. I pulled Piper in a hug in relief and kept an arm around her the whole way back. I looked at Travis who just gave me a look of understanding. God I just killed people, my heart started to beat faster and I took a deep breath. Calm down, they would've killed you and your friends.
"Katie" Percy said. I looked at him and he gave me a smile. Seeing my friend smile at me like I was a hero made me smile in return.
"Right, how about Pizza for dinner?" Leo asked, trying to lighten the mood. Annabeth and I laughed.
"Sure thing" we said. I don't know what happened to Piper and Calypso but they didn't talk about it and carried on, just like I did.
