Finally! This one is rather short but hopefully the next one will be up very soon. Enjoy!
The Encounter
Percy takes a step forward after hearing Euryale s roar. Gods, he hated monsters, but apparently he was a huge sugar cube labeled Greek Monster s Bait . He knew that monsters never really died but why couldn t they stay in Tartarus a bit longer? A life time would be enough Maybe two.
A huge bang awoke Percy from his reverie, his automatic response was:
"Annabeth put the cap on, please."
He had to trust on his battle instincts. Will Euryale be able to convert people into statues by looking at them like her sister did? Percy had no idea. Fighting with his eyes closed was never his favorite thing to do. A thought crossed his mind.
Without hesitation, Percy lifted his left hand and with his entire mind power commanded the water in the fountain.
Move
Seconds later, an invisible Annabeth was complaining on being completely soaked in salty water. Percy could now not only hear the gorgon but he could also feel were she was thanks to all the water on the floor. He could also keep track of Annabeth s whereabouts even though she had her hat on.
"Hahahaha! Smart, smart boy. But that won't be enough to defeat me!"The gorgon screeched completely giving her location away.
Without hesitation Percy charged. Anaklusmos was tightly held in his hand and the moon shining bright, showing him the way. He could feel the monster closer but it was still hidden in the shadows. Percy stopped dead on his tracks when he heard Annabeth whistle.
"Here, here Euryale. It was my mom who punished your sister so why not have me instead of the boy?"
Percy cursed as he heard the evil laugh again. A cold rush of air passed by letting him know that the gorgon was rapidly approaching Annabeth who was the easiest target. His heart sank and he could feel the weak spot on his back burning.
"Women and their superiority complex." he mumbled running towards them.
So now Percy is furious and we will see him fighting for real. Or will it be Annabeth who saves the day? Hmmm... I'll let you know soon enough.
Please review!
