Chapter 15: Unfair
I woke to somebody shaking me. I opened my eyes and was looking up at Diana. "Chase, get up, we have to move NOW!" I sat up and looked around. Percy, Annabeth, and…Poseidon's associate were fighting off the Goldies and a, well I'm not sure what kind of creature that is. I stood up shakily; my left shoulder felt like it was on fire. Diana helped me balance myself. I took out my black flashlight and clicked it. It sprang into my sword. A Goldie came at us. Diana blocked his attack and I slashed him in half. He melted then reformed. "Percy, they won't die, we've got to move!" "I noticed Chase, get the girls out of here. I'll be right there!" I started to protest but the Goldies and the rat people started towards us. I gabbed Diana and Annabeth and pulled them in the direction of Chimney Rock. I could see the mountain in the distance. Suddenly things went wrong. The Goldies around Percy and Poseidon's associate disappeared, leaving them to fight the creatures. The Goldies appeared around us. I stepped towards one when another grabbed me. I glanced at Annabeth she was fighting two. And Diana had already slashed one in two. But she never saw the one come up behind her. I yelled her name but it was too late, the tip of the black sword was sticking out of her stomach. Rage filled my body. I screamed and water came out of nowhere and wrapped around the Goldies and tore them apart until they were smaller then dust. I ran over to Diana. Her breathing was fast and raspy. I rolled her over to where she was facing me. She smiled. A tear rolled down my cheek. "Hey, you weren't supposed to get hurt, I was." She laughed the best she could. "Chase, I love you. I hope you know that." I nodded, "I love you too Diana." She smiled and the light left her eyes. "No. No, no, no! You can't leave me." I said holding her lifeless boy. Percy came over, "Annabeth get Diana from Chase." She tried to take Diana from me. I wouldn't let her. Percy joined in pulling me towards him. When they finally pulled us apart, I sobbed. "Chase, remember we have a quest to fulfill. The Gods are counting on us. Come on." Percy said pulling me up. I looked at Diana's body. I jumped back at the sight of pink smoke curling around it. It completely covered her body and then it was gone. I wiped my tears away. Percy put his hand on my shoulder, "Come on Chase, it's not very far." I tuned away with no heart.
