Percy quickly spun around, but he wasn't quick enough. There was another sharp ting, and he went soaring into the air. Directly up. Zeus will never forgive me for this, he thought as he flew higher and higher. Then he started to rapidly slow down. Percy thought that he would be stuck up there forever, but then he started falling. This is it.
He plummeted towards the ground and braced himself for impact. I`m going to die. Sorry, Annabeth… not gonna make it back to camp. Tell Ms.O'leary hi for me. He then got an Idea. He focused on the creekwater nearby the ground. He continued to concentrate until the skeleton started to wonder, Why can't I hear screaming? Percy heard a splash, and water started forming a bubble beneath him. Right before he reached the ground, he landed in the bubble of water.
Percy decided to take another swing at the skeleton with the same results. Then both heard a voice saying, "Sans! We found a cave to spend the night!"
Another ting, and Percy went flying into the bushes. He hit the ground headfirst, and it all went black.
When he awoke, he was in a damp cave, in a cage made of blue bones. He heard a conversation going on nearby.
"Let me get this straight," said a low voice. "A bubble of water appeared and saved the human?"
"I ain't ly`in. He landed in it. It was so surprising, it rattled my bones."
"SANS! NOT THE PUNS!" said a different voice. "That`s not what we should be focusing on," the low voice said again. "The point is, the human tried to kill you. We have his swor- where`d it go?"
They all looked at Percy. "He`s awake," said a sort of loud voice. "He got his sword back." "Undyne," said Sans, "Don`t you think that he would have escaped if he had gotten hi-" At that moment, Percy did three things. One, took out riptide and cut the bones in half. Two, use the water from the damp cave to knock them down (it was a huge cave). And three, dashed for the exit.
I can make it, he thought. I can- Sans teleported right in front of him.
"Where you going?" He asked. "I still have a bone to pick with you."
