Hey! I'm glad to see so many people like the story and are reading. I know this chapter is short, but maybe a few reviews could get 2 chaps at once next week... siriusly (Sirius-"Yup, that's right. AT just did that!".) though, please review.
FOR THE FIRST TIME Zeus had perfect timing. Blasting my brother and his friends to the top of that tree. Why it was a tree…? Well I don't pretend to understand Zeus, but now they were safe.
I felt in my lower sock for the 3 ice drops I had. One for each giant.
The giants were actually one of the most boring looking monsters I had seen. They just looked like normal humans but with 3 eyes on their heads. One at the back and 2 at the front.
Oh well I thought. At least it will make getting their attention easier.
"Oi! Lug Heads!" I yelled and they turned towards me.
Now I could see how they were scary. Out from their middle sprouted an arm, which was scaly and thick and had two beefy hands on the end. The arm was long like a snake and slithered around the giants waist like a belt. On top of that, as the giants roared, I found out their breath stunk to high Olympus. I mean Yikes! "Yha!" I yelled as she threw the 1st ice drop, it hit one giant in between the eyes and froze his nose. 10 seconds gone, 20 to go. I jumped, grabbing onto the branch of a tree and she began climbing 15 seconds gone. I reached the top of the tree and yelled for the giant whose nose I had frozen. "OVER HERE RUDOLPH!" Time seemed to slow down as I watched the giant stomp over. 10 seconds. The giant approached but I couldn't wait for it to come close enough to jump. I only had 5 seconds left 25 seconds gone.
So I decided to do something that usually took me 5 minutes of previous concentration, in 5 seconds of panic.
I harnessed the water vapour in the air, hoping my plan would work. 3 seconds left. I solidified the water, a trick my dad taught her, and jumped off the tree, into the patch of water. As always with water, when I swam I shot off, so I shot through the water and threw myself into the air, straight at the giant.
I landed on it's head. As the second giant noticed, it started to move its arm as if to smack her off his friends bald head. I had no doubt that if he slapped me, I would turn into an April pancake. To add to it, he was swiping with the arm he held his sword in.
I made to complete my plan but the giant who was swiping me seemed to move way to fast. 9 seconds till impact. I had I noticed her time was up. The giants nose had unfrozen.
I pulled the 2nd ice droplet out of my sock. I waited till the last second, right when the giant was about to hit me, and threw my droplet onto the giant's nose. As the second giant's sword came down on me, I held my skirt and jumped.
She sailed down the length of the giants head, making it go bog-eyed as it watched her fall between it's eyes. She landed on its nose and the ice made it extra slippery, she slid down the nose and flew off the end.
I twisted myself whilst in free fall to see the 2nd giant's sword hit the first on the head and cause it to explode in a cloud of dust.
As I carried on turning in mid-air, I managed to grab hold of tree branch, ignoring the new cuts on my hand, I pulled myself up where I sat, panting for a few seconds.
"Making a giant kill its own peer. Smart." I jumped around, almost impaling the group behind me, before I realised they were my brother and his friends.
I looked directly at Percy, hearing dimly how the giant roared behind me.
"April-" The tree shook and I had to interrupt him. "Brother. I know it's been a long time, but I want to get to know you when we aren't about to die.
And with that speech, which may have actually stunk more than the giants breath, I jumped.
Dun, Dun, Dun! As you can see, I still love cliffhangers. So maybe REVIEWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
