Chapter 8
Percy's POV
"There IS no 31st day of February!" Annabeth said, raising an eyebrow. I looked at her,
"Yes there is what about a triple leap year?" I asked
"A triple leap year?" They all gave me an incredulous look.
"Yeah," I said, getting annoyed, "You know, if a leap year adds one day, then a triple leap year would add three days right?" I said. I wanted to slap myself in the face, many times. Annabeth started to grin, and all of them started to laugh, except Atlas and the Cyclops, who looked like they wanted to kill me, which they probably did.
Annabeth wiped her eyes, and looked serious again.
"Are you all DONE yet?" Atlas asked looking annoyed. We nodded in perfect unison. "Okay, WAIT until I'm finished, and THEN you can go get your boogie on." We looked at him as he did a disco move, all hunched over and grunting as he pointed up and down, like he was insane. He IS insane but still we do not want to see him have his blast from the past.
He cleared his throat and repeated,
"On the 31st day of February" Annabeth snickered and he shot her a look of hate. "10 demigods will come to me and will fail at a task, making the godly parent's essence go to ME!" He laughed wickedly, and ended up coughing. Even though it was really funny, none of us laughed, except for Leo. We all glared at him like Do you want us to die? He squirmed under our intense gaze.
"What? He sounded like a cat!" He said embarrassed.
"Shut up, Valdez!" Jason yelled at him.
Sam cleared her throat, "HELLO! My brother and I are still underneath this stupid, large, and insanely heavy, sky!" She yelled her voice strained.
"Oh, not for long, my salt water demon. MORAN!" he yelled
"What did you just call her?" Leo asked, with his head moving in a circle and his finger out, his go-to attitude move.
"COME HERE, MORAN!"
A Cyclops that looked just like Idiot stepped out of the herd of the one eyed creatures. He was short, way shorter than Idiot, even, and he had a scar across his forehead. This made him look like Frankenstein's monster.
"Yes m-master?" He asked looking nervous. Leo, Piper, Jason, and Annabeth looked confused at his name. Rookies I thought to myself, smiling.
"Go get that idi-, that... mor-, that... pesky butthead of a brother you have and bring him here.
A Cyclops stepped forward, "yes m-master?" he asked, and I guessed this was Butthead because of the tattoo of a butt on his forehead. When was THIS in style? I wondered.
Atlas looked annoyed, not you Butthead! I'm talking about his scrawny poopface brother.
Another Cyclops stepped forward "Yes Master?" he had a strange brown tattoo on his nose, that I really didn't want to describe, not even in my mind.
"YOU IMBECIALS!" Atlas yelled and another Cyclops stepped forward looking nervous. "Y-yes, M-master?" He barely whispered.
"URGH!" He yelled at the sky and stormed over to a rock, where he hit his head a numerous amount of times. He did this for like five minutes, and then stood up and walked over calmly.
"All of you except Moran get back to your places." He said eerily calm, even though there was a huge red spot on his face, which was purpler by the minute. I looked at Annabeth, who's curly blonde hair seemed to be glowing in the sunlight, her face, as beautiful as ever, was scrunched up in a wierded out position that's usually reserved for me. I guess Atlas was an exception...
"Moran!" He yelled to the midget Cyclops. "Relieve these devil spawns of their duty," He paused "So, that they can die a proper death." I swallowed hard and watched as my friends did the same.
Moran obediently came over next to us and after an aggravating of second of more agony, took the weight while Sam and I fell to the ground in exhaustion.
"Percy!" Annabeth came running over to me. She kneeled next to me and I looked up at her.
"Hey, Wise Girl," I replied weakly. She smiled and punched me in the arm, while saying, "You are such a Seaweed Brain!" Leo tried to run over to Sam, but halfway there he tripped on air and face planted into a bush. Piper and Jason started cracking up, and soon everyone was laughing because Piper's laugh was contagious. She would snort and then hiccup, causing Jason to fall down and start rolling on the ground. Leo stood up, his face red, smiling also, with leaves in his hair.
"ENOUGH LAUGHTER, YOU-uh-YOU DUCKS!" Atlas screamed, causing everyone to laugh harder. Leo was over in a corner, by himself, making quacking sounds and walking like a bird. Atlas looked furious, but waited until we stopped laughing to say, grinning ear to ear, to the Cyclops, "Get everyone except Jason and the water spawns." The Cyclops looked confused at first, and then they grabbed their weapons and charged at us. Piper and Annabeth got their daggers, Leo got a hammer out of his belt, I got my pen out of my back pocket and clicked it, making it turn into a sword, Jason got his gladius, and Sam got a strange mask out of her backpack that I had just noticed.
She tied it around her eyes, it turned a deep purple and she looked at me.
"Ready brother?"
"You don't have a weapon..." I said, turning to fight off a Cyclops that was coming near her.
"Oh!" She said, as if she was just remembering and reached into her backpack pulling out an umbrella. "I stabbed the Cyclops in the gut and looked her strangely.
"You fight with an umbrella?" She giggled, and pushed the umbrella out, it transformed into a half sword, not as short as a dagger, but not as long as Riptide. She looked at me, "You fight with a pen?" She mocked me. I didn't answer I was fighting for my life. I no longer have the Achilles curse, so I had to work extra hard.
Leo was fighting with a monster who he asked "Would you like a breath mint?" The one-eyed monster looked confused, and stopped fighting. Leo took the opportunity to hit it over the head with his hammer. "Wha-wam!" I heard him say. He took out some mechanical supplies and started to make Automatons to help us. Piper was talking to a whole crowd of Cyclops which crowed around her saying, "Pretty Girl!" She vaporized them all in a row. Annabeth was fighting like it was her last fight. She always did that so it's no surprise but I worked my way over to her.
"Hey wise girl!" I yelled over the sound of swords clashing.
"This is not a good time Percy!" She yelled back, we stood back to back, perfectly in synch, guarding each other, but still fighting with offense, she was my perfect half.
There you are, love! REVIEW!
