I love this series!
Last time-
And since no one else had anymore questions Athena strated Chapter 4.
Now:
Chapter 4:
"Mom, you know how to bullfight?" Percy asked, slightly worried. "No I don't." Was the answer he got.
(We ... animal.)
"Wow. Thanks man." Grover said making a few people laugh.
(All ... now.")
"Doesn't matter? Doesn't matter! You just showed up on his door step and showed him that you have hooves! And now you say it doesn't matter?" Sadie said, completely freaked. Carter tried to calm her down, but he wasn't much of a people person. "Yeah pretty much." Grover said trying to stay calm.
("It ... down.")
Percy looked at him. "I thought you said it didn't matter."
("You ... matter.")
Percy pumped his fist in the air, smiling.
("Blaa-ha-ha! ... mean?")
"Okay I get that I'm some kind of human god hybrid. Fine with that. I get that because of this creatures will try and kill me, no big deal. But people trying to get me to think a near death experience was just a figment of my imagination. No go." Percy said, making the kids laugh.
(The ... trail.)
All laughter vanished instantly. "W-what chasing us?" Percy asked scared.
("Percy, " ... minions.")
Poseidon glared at his brother, if Hades wasn't the lord of the dead, he'd be worried for his health. But he couldn't help but wonder, why was he trying to kill his nephew?
("Grover!" ... fences.)
With a sarcastic grin Clarisse looked at percy and said, "Welcome to paradise, newbie."
("Where ... you.")
Despite the tense air some managed to laugh at how ridiculous they were being.
("Boys!" ... me.)
"Yet despite her best efforts, you're still alive!" Jason said, making everyone laugh, and relieve some of the tension in the air.
(Then ... time.)
"Sounds painful." Ares said while smirking.
(I ... die!)
Percy looked over at Grover with some fear and said, "If you die, I'll kill you." Grover knew what Percy meant. They were best friends.
(Then ... hope.)
Everyone smiled, relieved. Then Hazel said something that made the Romans think. "Why are the satyrs so much more helpful than the fauns?" Of course at the moment no one had an answer.
("Percy, " ... horns.)
Some of the campers from both sides knew what that was and were kind of happy that even though he will most likely die, Percy still thought of things like a mortal.
(I ... hill.)
Thalia smiled and shouted, "That's me!" confusing everyone who didn't go to Camp-Half Blood.
("That's ... ocean.)
Percy looked at his mother very seriously, more serious than any twelve year old had a right to be, and said, "You are coming with me." She had no answer.
("No!" ... bull.)
It was obvious that what the thing really was, was also being revealed to Percy.
(I ... Grover.")
The gods looked at Percy Jackson and one thought passed through all their minds, 'A natural leader.'
(I ... sharpener.)
"Really? A joke. Now?" Frank asked. Percy just shrugged.
(I ... you.")
Que the death-glares pointed towards the gods.
("But ... Oops.)
Gabe, locked up in a cage with angry cats, looked outraged and would've threatened Percy if he hadn't been gagged. Percy didn't notice any of this, too busy cheering with everyone else that Gabe's car exploded. Destiny, however, did. She glared at him and suddenly the cats got a signal to advance even closer to the man. The young girl smirked.
("Percy, " ... But-")
His mother was close to tears when she told him, "No buts Percy."
(Another ... lighter.)
"Hey!"
(The ... grass.)
"No. Nononononononononononono." Was the only thing the people around him could make out, as Percy stared at the book with a sense of dread. Destiny sat next to Percy and nodded to Athena to continue.
(We'd ... Run!")
Destiny knew what was going to happen and quickly wrapped her arms around Percy.
(But ... air.)
Percy was now rocking back in forth with all his nerves, Jason had stood up and was pacing. Leo was looking at his hands and fumbling with some wire he had in his pockets. Everyone else was avoiding looking at Percy.
("Mom!" ... Gone.)
A horrible sound tore out of Percy's throat, halfway between a scream and a moan. Then he was crying, Destiny was just looking down while holding the boy. She looked up to see , silently telling her not to get too close, she nodded her head in understanding.
Meanwhile Poseidon was glaring at Hades, and the god of death suddenly was afraid for his health.
Destiny took a deep breath and in a clear, commanding, voice said to everyone, "Okay, this part is a bit difficult to hear but we need to continue."
("No!" ... jacket.)
Everyone was silently cheering him on.
("Hey!" ... neck.)
Percy looked up, surprised at the words he was hearing. How did he do that.
(How ... forward.)
Everyone was cheering him on, he started to feel a bit better, only a bit.
(Meanwhile, ... snap!)
One thought was going through everyone's mind 'Did he really just snap one of the minotaur's horns off?' But they were all too caught up in the story to voice the thought.
(The ... gone.)
Everyone was too shocked to really celebrate.
(The ... go.)
Grover was touched that Percy would be so loyal and save him when he could have just left him inside of the border.
(The ... be.")
Both Percy and Annabeth were blushing at this statement.
("Silence, ... inside.")
The silence was deafening. No one really knew what to say. Eventually The children of the Big Three got up and moved to sit closer to their cousin. Jason looked at the kid they'd been reading about. Even now, he had an air of strength, like he would gladly fight for all of them.
The children of Hades sat closest to him silently comforting him.
This was how they all stayed as Athena began the next chapter.
I really love this series!
See ya next time!
