Chapter 3
Percy POV
I was stunned, she was my sister and she had gone through much more pain than me and she had been alone nearly all her life.
She was stood near Poseidon's throne, poised for attack, the man, who I guessed was the man who caused WW2, walked towards her confidently, his sword was longer than hers and it looked a lot stronger, actually he looked stronger all round, I felt very scared for her.
They began to fight, she blocked every blow but she never had time to strike at him. Then suddenly, out of nowhere he disarmed her and her sword went flying across the room and into the fire, it was gone. It happened so fast that no one could have seen it coming but Sophia obviously did, I saw her eyes light up for just a second, he had obviously played into her trap, whatever that was. She took out her other sword, the hidden one, the hilt was made of celestial bronze but the sword part was made of ice, ice which didn't melt. He looked scared, Poseidon gasped and Sophia smiled confidently, they resumed fighting but he seemed to be keeping his distance from the sword. Suddenly, just like before he disarmed and the sword clattered to the ground just behind him. She portrayed no emotion.
His sword came to her neck she backed up against a marble pillar and his sword dug into her neck.
"What are you going to do to me?" She asked fearfully
"Oh I don't know, maybe I'll show you something like the person you would have fallen in love with and how happy you would been" His eyes suddenly glinted emerald green
She gasped and a tear rolled down her cheek "No, it's not you, please no..." Her face was a mask of pure fear
He smiled and said "I will make your life a living hell."
She was watching the sword which had flown in to the fire , it began to float out of the fire, it's tip was facing the man's back, it then flew forward straight towards him!
"No, you won't," She said her, voice getting stronger
He looked confused, then the sword struck him, his skin began to dry out as if all the moisture from his body was leaving, then he was still, the water from his blood must have gone. He fell to the ground. A green mist left his body.
She looked shocked, genuinely shocked and she was still scared, you could see it her eyes. I wonder what it was that she saw...
Sophia POV
It was him, it was the great one, and he was here! There is no escape.
Percy came up to me and helped me up,
"Are you ok?" he asked
"I don't know." I replied
Poseidon changed to human size,he looked confused, then he smiled,
"You must see your mother, come on!" He said excitedly, you could see he was really happy, I don't know if he knew that the great one had just been in the room but if he did he didn't show it.
Poseidon called for a taxi to my mother's apartment. I was nervous; I wouldn't know what to say.
"She'll be so happy!" he kept saying "She thought you were dead, she was and still is so upset, but she won't be now." He told me
My nervousness grew and when we were walking up the stairs I froze, I couldn't go any further.
"It's ok, she's lovely, you don't have to say anything, it's ok" Percy told me his voice was soothing and kind
I started to move again but I was getting slower as we reached the door. Percy took out his key and opened the door to the apartment; he walked in and smiled at someone I couldn't see.
"Hey Mom!" Percy said happily
"Hey, I thought you were staying at camp half blood until the summer break is over?" asked a woman with a sweet voice, presumably my mother, Sally Jackson.
Poseidon walked in after me and also smiled at Sally,
"Hello Sally," he said happily then, "hello Paul" he said more glumly
"Hello," a man's voice said, it must be Paul
"Oh, Poseidon, it's nice to see you, I didn't think-
I walked in, there was a woman standing next to a man, Sally and Paul, my mother had long, slightly curly hair, like mine but hers was a lighter brown. She looked me, she was confused, and then she looked at Poseidon,
"Ah, who is this?" she said and she smiled at me
Poseidon walked up to her and took her hands in his, Paul glared at him, Percy was sat at the table in the kitchen, Poseidon ignored him, "I told you that I'd find her," Poseidon looked at then smiled at Sally, who seemed to be in complete shock she went and sat down next to Percy,
"Really?" she asked her eyes were lit up, a tear rolled down her cheek...
