Ok people I'm going to try and stick to Percy's POV as much as I can because it's kind of confusing for me to be switching all the time. I will have Annabeth in there but that is about it. Ok onward!
"Going somewhere Percy?" I heard someone say behind me. I turned around and saw something that almost made my jaw drop. About thirty-five monsters were in the trees, crouching, waiting to fight. The person who had talked to me wasn't actually a person though, it was an empousa. Kelli.
"Wow you reform fast," I said trying to un-focus them. Trust me being able to un-focus an enemy is awesome. Especially when it's completely random. Ahhhhh I remember that time with the telkhines and how two moose should be meese, good times good times.
Then I realized that she was the one who called for help, she had tricked us.
"I'm not here to play games Perseus Jackson," She said in a sickly sweet way. Then she held up a needle and connect to that needle was a vial-like the kind that you get shots with at the doctor- filled with clear liquid.
"You see this? It's Empousa venom, it has temporary paralyzing abilities ,"
"And you're telling me this… why?"
"We're going to stick you with it," and then she lunged for me and I sidestepped but she scratched me.
"Wait your working for Kronos! Your the one taking the campers!"I said.
"Well what did you think before Seaweed Brain?" I didn't answer because I hadn't really thought about it. But mostly, I was mad. She had called me Seaweed Brain, and nobody called me that besides Annabeth.
By now my arm and it stung way more than it should have. It stung so bad I almost dropped Riptide.
I was very confused about it, the cut wasn't very deep but it hurt like Hades. Kelli smiled like me being in pain is the awesomest thing ever and lunged again. I jumped out of the way and almost tripped on a rock but something grabbed me from behind. I was about to say thanks when I realized that it was a dracnae. I spun around and sliced with my sword and she exploded into dust.
Kelli disappeared but I couldn't worry about that now because the monsters were advancing on me. There was dracaenae, telkhines, more empousai, and I think there was even a small drakon. I sliced, cut, and dodged but I knew that I was tiring out but the monsters blocked all the paths out of the forest and frankly, without a path I would be better off with the monsters.
"Wow all of this just for me?" I said. I heard a laugh behind me and I spun around, standing behind me was Kelli and she had the needle in her hand.
"Well of course Percy! Why would we take any chances? You always seem to wriggle out of any situation." She slowly made her over to me and I found myself staring at her. She was beautiful and it captivated me. I knew what she was hiding, mismatched legs, red eyes, and fangs but right now it was hard not to be distracted.
Stop it Percy! She is going to bring you to Kronos or worse, kill you! I heard a voice in my head voice sounded familiar but I could place it.
Percy! Snap. . It! Then I realized it sounded like Annabeth. Annabeth my girlfriend and best friend.
I blinked and saw Kelli just about to stick me with the needle.
"Ahhh!" I yelled and swung my sword and I saw the vial break and fall to the ground.
Kelli growled and looked really angry and then her face softened into a look of…enjoyment. Then she disappeared.
"There is another way," I heard her voice say but it sounded like it was coming from everywhere. I was turning everywhere my sword out and then I saw the other monsters disappear.
Ok what is going on? I couldn't see anything besides the forest. I gave up and put capped Riptide when someone jumped on my back. I tried to push them off but they had a strong grip. I twisted and thrashed but they wouldn't come off and then I felt a slash in my neck and then a intense sharp pain. I yelled out in pain and I felt myself being lowered onto a rock. I looked up and saw Kelli smiling and she had a thin trickle of blood on her chin that travled down her neck and I could feel a small area of warm wetness in the area where I think… she bit me.
"Huh, who knew a son of that salty old sea god could taste so good." She said licking her lips. Oh no, she did bite me.
Immobility started to take over my muscles. Before I couldn't more anymore I tried to talk.
"They'll get you," I huffed out. She just made a mock pouting face ,and started looking through a backpack that had somehow just gotten here.
"Not if they think your dead."
I tried to glare at her and ask what she meant but I couldn't move, I couldn't blink, I couldn't even twitch a finger. My eyes were frozen in a surprised wide look, my mouth was ever so slightly agape and my entire body felt limp.
She pulled out what I recognized as a blood bag from hospitals. She walked over to me, made a small slit in the bag, and poured it on me from where she bit me all the way down to my waist and then took some and covered her chin.
Then I heard people yelling: "Percy! Percy! Where are you?"
"Oh looks like we're going to have some company!" Kelli said happily and then she grabbed me, held my back against her, and put her face near the bite. I suddenly knew what she was doing. She was going to trick the camp into thinking she had killed me so they wouldn't come looking. And there wasn't a single thing I could do about it.
I could only watch as Annabeth, Chiron, Clarisse, Grover, and the Stoll brothers walked into the little area where Kelli and I were, and watch as their worried faces turned into horrified visages.
I must have looked horrible because the Stoll brothers as well as Clarisse looked like they were going to puke.
"Oh look Percy! We have company!" She said happily and then giggled. My head fell to the side limply.
"P-Percy?" Annabeth said. She looked so horrified. I wanted to yell I'm not dead! Don't fall for it!
She looked at the ground and saw all of the monster dust and she gasped.
"N-no, no! Percy!" Her face looked heartbroken and I felt so sad to see her like this.
Chiron looked so shocked his eyes were the size of dinner plates. Grover looked just like Clarisse and the Stoll brothers except that he looked…disbelieving, as if he was in denial.
"He fought very much but in the end it was I who won out." And then I heard her lick her lips. She petted my head as if I were some kind of dog and then for the second time she bit me and I felt the same intense and sharp pain from earlier.
"No!" Annabeth screeched and leapt forward brandishing her knife. Kelli jumped back me still in her clutches and then laughed evilly.
"Awwww does little Annabeth want her boyfriend back?" Kelli said with the type of voice that you use with a baby. Ugh! I want to move! To tell them I'm alright and that it's just a trick!
Annabeth threw her knife and Kelli dodged it. I guess the others realized they had weapons and they all lunged at Kelli who just laughed and dodged. She kicked Annabeth at a tree and I felt anger surge through me and I wanted to choke her for hurting Annabeth but I still couldn't move anything. Annabeth groaned and my anger increased by a ten-fold. Kelli leapt on top of the rock she had set me on earlier and burst into flames and teleported away to somewhere taking me with her.
Wow I have a thing for kidnappings don't I?
Magic Cat: I can't believe you used Kelli! You said you hated vampires!
I don't hate vampires I hate Twilight vampires.
Magic Cat: Why?
Because their just a bunch of drama queens and Edward is kind of creepy and…stalkerish.
Well as always review! My inbox is lonely!
