Ch.2 I Run Away from Vampire Cheerleaders
"There are five empousa coming right toward us!"
"Perseus Jackson. What a coincidence running into you here…" hissed the lead empousa. I recognized her voice, it was Tammy from school.
"Perseus Jackson. Come here." Tammy hissed again. I could here her, but I still couldn't see her.
Out of nowhere Rachel yelled, "Percy! Behind you! She's behind you!!" I drew Riptide and swung with all of my might. Tammy hissed, and then I saw her. Her and her army of empousa.
Annabeth drew her dagger and stabbed an empousa. The she-devil hissed and then vaporized. One down and four to go. Although, Tammy is the equivalent to five empousa. Rachel helped me and Annabeth see through the mist.
"Annabeth, there's one to your left." Annabeth stapped it and it instantly vaporized.
"Thanks, Rachel." Annabeth said.
"No prob."
I was facing Tammy , alone.
"You know you can't beat me, Percy. It's okay though, I can make you feel better. Come here." The monster was trying to get me to let my guard down, but it's not going to work. Not this time.
"Then why are you trying so hard?" I said back.
Rachel called out, "Percy, are you okay?"
"Could be better! Can you make a distraction?" I called back.
"I'll try." she said half-heartedly.
"Hey Tammy!" Rachel called. Meanwhile, Annabeth took out the last empousa with her dagger. Now there was only Tammy.
Tammy turned her head and said, "I only prey on men, mortal girl."
Annabeth ran up alongside Rachel. "We can take her." she said.
It turned out that I was the only one Tammy really cared about. That meant that I was the distraction. I ran around as fast as I could in a circle around the empousa. Annabeth devised a plan worthy of Athena with Rachel. She figured that Tammy would think of her as more of a threat than Rachel, so she gave Rachel her dagger. I was to continue running around, Annabeth would walk up to Tammy, face to face, and Rachel would stab her tail.
Easier said than done.
