Thankyou for a review. Usually I would post a bit later but I got a review, so an extra chapter a day or two early for you!
PERCY ALMOST EXPLODED, right there and then, in that tree. I didn't know who that girl was or how she knew Percy, but what she said had obviously not been the right thing.
As I watched the girl, I also listened to Annabeth talk to Percy.
"Percy, we don't know what happened or-"
"-Annabeth no! How could she? She disappears for 12 years and when I finally meet her again all she can care about are some stupid giants. It's unfair, it's-"
I sucked a breath in. "-If you're that angry at her Percy, you should be glad to know she might die in the next 5 minutes."
Percy's head snapped in the girls' direction so fast it gave me whip-lash just watching.
His mum seemed to know what he was going to do before he did it as she tried to reach out to him even though she was on the other side of the tree and said. "Percy no-"
But Percy did. He leapt out of the tree and sailed through the air with such speed and grace that I had to raise my eyebrows.
"Brother Bird Bomb." He yelled. The girl on the ground didn't turn around but she raised her arm and faced her palm to the sky. Percy angled his body and as he fell, placed one foot on the girls' palm.
She pushed her arm forward and Percy was propelled forward and towards the giant. He tucked his knees to his chest and spun as he went forward, like a human cannon ball.
The girl looked at her hand in shock.
"DID YOU JUST USE MY OWN REFLEXES AGINST ME?" she yelled. All she got was a smirk.
I figured the Bird Bomb thing must have been part of a childhood game they used to play so much, the girl just did the actions whenever someone said the words. It was obvious she didn't want Percy in battle, so she would be pretty angry if her reflex had been used against her.
As Percy sailed through the air, the girl waited till he faced her and threw a rain drop at him. No wait, it was made of ice.
Anyway, she threw this thing at him and he looked at it come towards him before smacking it with his sword. It sailed up high and right into the 2nd giants mouth. From the inside out, he froze. At the same time, both children hurled their swords at the giant and he smashed into ice and dust. They turned to the final giant, both panting and looking more furious than the next. The giant must have not had his one brain cell turned on because he ran forward and yelled." Die you idiots. I am 75 times bigger than you, you cannot survive! "
The reply was loud and clear. Both children took hands and yelled. "Well you're 75% water too." With that, they made a pulling motion and- again from the inside- the giant exploded into floods of water and other giant parts you really don't want me to describe. Well... To tell the truth...I don't want to describe it.
After the explosion, both Percy and that girl faced each other. They seemed to be arguing and Percy was pointing to them as if to say to let them down. She was flailing her arms as if trying to explain that she couldn't.
"Right." Jason said. "Let's put an end to their arguing. It's going to drive me mad."
They felt themselves float to the ground and they ran to Percy and the girl.
"You died for 12 years!" Percy was yelling. "And all you cared about were giants."
"Well I figured you'd want to talk when we weren't being targeted." She returned, causing Percy to sigh with anger. They continued their argument for some time and in the end Percy just sighed. "You know what." He said. "Fine, I can't be bothered to argue with you, just hand me my weapons and another ice droplet and let's go."
She sighed and pulled a pen out of her pocket. She then did what appeared to be pulling an ice droplet out of thin air from where her arm was. I need to learn how to do that.
Please review!
