Chapter 7: I slap a Minotaur...with a wave!

Disclaimer: *sighs* I'm not amazing enough to own PJO! So I don't

Note: Estelle says hi!

Okay, so my Writer's Block is finally starting to go away, but this chapter is probably pretty lame…...well, this is life, I guess. I have kept you waiting too long…(karma?)

I literally feel like I'm the Titan Atlas, but instead of holding the sky, I'm holding a bunch of homework on my shoulders. School is evil sometimes I tell you…..

OMG, I can't even tell you how excited I was when Reputation dropped last Friday! I have Gorgeous stuck in my head…..again…...*shakes head and presses hands to temples* Well…..that was what happened last week…...

ENOUGH TALK, CHAPTER SEVEN IS HERE!

I woke up to the sound of a fountain gurgling. Percy was on his bunk studying a map for something.

"Good morning!" Percy says, cheerfully.

"Good morning," I reply. An awkward silence falls over us while I'm brushing.

"So, Percy….what's the plan for today?" I ask him.

"I'm taking you somewhere special." he winks.

"Okay," I eye him suspiciously.

At breakfast, I look around trying to find any of the Seven, but they're not there.

After we've stuffed ourselves with bread and fruits, Percy drags me up the hill to Thalia's Pine. We drive to Manhattan and stop at a huge ship with at least 100 oars on it and I can see all Seven (but Percy) grinning from ear to ear.

"Huh?" I ask, really confused.

"This ship is called the Argo II. When we seven were destined to defeat Gaea, this was the ship Leo had built." Percy explains

"It's not the original!" Leo shouts.

"I guess," Percy shrugs his shoulders. Jason comes flying (flying?) down.

"At your service, madam." he teases as he extends his hand, palm facing the sky.

I take his hand and we fly up. The minute I get up there, Piper crushes me in a hug.

"Alright, let's get this party started!" Percy yells.

Out of nowhere, every single Camp Half-blood camper appears with some food item in their hand.

"What is this for?!" I yell at Percy over the music Travis Stoll is playing.

"How could you forget, Estelle? It's your birthday!" Annabeth shouts in my ear.

With a jolt, I realize I've turned thirteen today! How did I become so forgetful?

"Hey, Estelle! Happy-" Hazel starts but is cut off by a monstrous roar.

It's a Minotaur. At least, that's what I think it is. Percy draws his sword and Annabeth yells at everybody to back up.

Percy's fighting with the Minotaur, but it's draining all of his energy. I look and concentrate myself on the ocean.

Come on, ocean! COME ON, OCEAN!

A wave responds to my plea and slaps the Minotaur in the face while Percy's sword strikes him in the gut. Perfectly timed.

"AHHHHHHHH!" with that the Minotaur vaporizes leaving nothing behind.

Chiron immediately bursts in, panting.

"Ouranos," he gasps, "is trying to reform."

I pass out.

You are plotting my death. Yep. Short chapter, but I'll try and update by Friday….unless my teachers decide to throw more papers in my face.

I just realized….I have a math summative tomorrow….better study! *sighs*

Until then…feel free to drop a review! :D

Peace,

Padma
