Chapter 9
AN: ENJOY! We are getting closer to the dilemma of Percy Jackson and the Delphi Disaster so it should soon be getting action-packed. I have decided that Independent is gonna have shorter chapters than this and have it as a mini-story probably about 5-7 chapters. Let's a go! I don't own Joey Tribbiani by the way.
REYNA POV:
The merciless Minotaur in front of me wasn't the only problem I faced at this moment. One was Adam. He was so cocky, overly-flirty, self-involved, zealous, arrogant, annoying, pathetic, immature, and handsome. Wait what? I admit, he had grown on me the slightest bit and the image of him being my boyfriend isn't so ridiculous. Honestly, there are still moments when he makes my skin crawl, for example, when he looks me up and down and says "How you doing?" in a Joey Tribbiani fashion I want to bludgeon his corn rowed head in and when he constantly comments on my eyes, my hair, my fighting ability and just want to feed him to the Minotaur. But, he IS a good fighter; he's loyal, and not always dumb, a bit like Percy. Anyway, my other issue is this metal rusty door placed behind the beast. You may be thinking, oh wow! Reyna, praetor of New Rome, scared of doors but when you're in an underground maze made out of foliage, a door can be quite worrying…
"So, Adam, what's our battle plan." I could barely hear my own voice over the pants and roars of the bull. However, he seemed to get the message.
"I spoke to Percy. He says the best way to kill a Minotaur is to stab it with its own horn. So, I'll keep it engaged in combat and you slide up onto the head, baby girl." Percy Jackson. Wow, that boy had done EVERYTHING. I shook myself out of my daydream and saw Adam wink at me as I charged. He did the same…
Slashing and hacking, our furious battle began. The monster swung one of its hands at me that I sidestepped but Adam received the other. Let's just say there's a 6 foot 2 shape in the wall now. Drawing a sword I swung at its chest stunning it for a moment as a wide gash of golden blood appeared. I smiled but the Minotaur ignored it and clasped its fist around me and throwing me at a now recovered Adam. The son of Apollo caught me with undeniable and we were face to face, lips only inches apart. We froze, only to be interrupted by a nine foot death-bringer. Adam drew a bow and shot a wicked volley of arrows into the Minotaur's eye, three at a time. Now blinded the beast fell on its back and I rushed up its chest to the head area where I sliced off one of its horns with deadly power. Plunging it into the heart, the battle was won,
AN: Hope you liked a bit of action. Please review!
