Chapter 4: Three Years Later
Hey guys! I'm back! Sorry about the loooooooong ass wait. So. I'm sorry about not writing some of this for a super long time but, I had stuff going on and thats about it. The title of this matches both the chapter and how long it took to write! :P. And just to clear things up if your confused, this is three years after chapter 3. Means Titus is 17, and Percy and the rest of the seven are 20. So without further ado, Boom! New Chapter!
Titus was surrounded. The monsters had surprised him, which was the only reason they were still alive. He looked around, taking in the situation. "Okay Titus, calm down. Lets see, three hell hounds, a couple dracanae and what kind of giant is that?" The giant is question stood about 8 feet tall, wearing only a loincloth and he had huge biceps. Tattooed on his left fore-arm were the words "Bob loves Baby cakes." In the giants hands were two flaming bowling balls that were on fire.
"Oooookaaayy, so what are you?" Titus said, looking up at the giant. The giant snorted and hefted his bowling balls. "I am a laistrogyian giant! I will feed on your flesh puny hero!" With those words he launched his two cannon balls at Titus. Immediately, Titus sped up making the things around him slow down, like they were moving in molasses with cement feet. He casually twisted the onyx in his ring, making is spring out into the weapon he had used for three years, and had saved his life many times. He shot out the twin blades and casually sent the blades spinning through the balls splitting them clean down the middle. He came out of his super speed to see the two balls split in half and shoot along either side of him, crashing into the monsters behind his back, killing two hell hounds and a couple dracanae. Going back into super speed, he ran around the edge of the remaining monsters, swinging the two Celestial Bronze blades through their necks or torso. When he came back into regular motion, all the monsters around him exploded into yellow dust, as monsters do when they are killed. Smiling at his handiwork, Titus hefted his backpack and turned around. Then he nearly crapped himself.
"Holy Hera!" he shouted. In front of him was an African-American girl, riding a large roan stallion. "That was impressive." The strange girl said.
Titus looked around, but there was no one in sight. "Um, no offense but who are you?" Titus could see that she obviously wasn't a monster but the horse? That thing looked mean. If it could talk, it looked to Titus like it would start out cussing a one eyed carpenter. The girl however didn't look As dangerous, but she still looked like she could handle herself. She was wearing jeans, with a purple shirt that said SPQR. Whatever that meant. In her hand she held a long golden sword. Titus realized the girl was talking, and that he had totally zoned out. "..are you?"
"Oh um, sorry I totally zoned out, could you say that again?" The girl huffed, and so did the horse. "I SAID, Actually this is part of my camps territory, to technically your trespassing. So that means, I can ask first. Who are you?"
Titus hesitated. A camp? COuld it be the camp his dad had talked about all those years ago? If it was, he didn't want anything to do with it. "Well, I dont feel comfortable sharing that information with total strangers. For all i know, you could be a rogue demigod trying to get me killed."
"wait, you know your a demigod? How! Who are your parents? How do you know who you are, and how have you survived so long? Come to camp with me, we can talk safely there."
"Hah! No thanks, I ain't going anywhere near that camp of yours."
"You know, I could make you?"
"To be fair, you dont look like the kind of person who would do that." Suddenly I blinked, and I was seated on the horse behind the girl. "Holy Hera! How did you do that!"
The girl simply smiled at me. "Magic." She said.
Titus POV
"Well, I am not going to that camp, so good bye!" With that I jumped of the killer horse (that thing scared me) and started running, not super fast running, just running (if you now what I mean). The girl turned the horse and it quickly caught up to me. "Okay," I said, "You wanna do that, fine. Eat my dust!" And then I took off. It always feels amazing when I run. I don't know why, it just feels like its part of me. I love it, it make me feel so free. After about a hundred miles I looked back to see if I had lost the girl. And what i saw nearly made me run into a building (I would have been fine, the building? Not so much). The fricking horse was still right behind me! It was running as fast as I was. That was when I remembered an old myth about a horse that could run faster than anything and had a big attitude. I started running harder cause right now, i was barely jogging and clocking at around 398 MPH. So I turned on the heat. We passed onto the Pacific Ocean and I turned south, in a line that would eventually make me hit India. The horse was still behind me, but was slowly falling back. Although that was the only slow part about it. I decided I'va had enough. As I was running, I turned to look back at the girl and her horse. "As ta la vista baby!" And then went full sprint. The air literally bent around me, and the sonic boom echoed around the ocean. Although I assume it did. I'm never around to hear it sadly. After I hit Africa, I slowed down, and turned North. Once I hit England I stopped completely. I was breathing kinda hard, and knew that if I didn't get food fast, I was gonna pass out. My body works so fast that my metabolic rate is through the roof. I found that out when I sprinting through Kansas, passed out, and woke up at the end of a massive furrow that was cut through a wheat field, and the business end of a .12 gauge-shotgun in my face. That was a fun day.
Camp Half-Blood
Percy POV
"He WHAT!" I shouted in disbelief. Hazel looked at me, and I could tell even she was still shaken up.
"I told you Percy, the kid out ran Arion. He went faster than anything I've ever seen."
We were in the Big House of Camp Half-Blood. The seven of us from the prophecy were there, along with all the camp councilors were there, and so was Nico and Thalia because the Hunters were in camp that week. "Okay guys look. We need to find this kid, whoever he is." Thalia spoke up, "The Hunters will keep an eye out for him."
"So will Camp Jupiter." Frank added in. Hazel piped up, "Arion and I will keep an eye out for him, even though he can outrun us if he wants too." I looked around at all the people in the room. "Alright guys, let try to find him. Other than that, everyone go about your business as usual. We dont know if this kid is dangerous or not but the fact that he doesn't want to come to camp is suspicious. Or he might just have bad experiences with gods or demigods. Does that cover it?" Everybody nodded, and Clovis snorted in his sleep. I figured that was a yes. "Alright then meeting adjourned."
Heeeeey, and there it is, the new chapter! Whoop! Alright so I hope you guys enjoyed it, please R&R, reviews make my day! If you have any idea of maybe an OC, or something that should happen or even some criticism (as long as it isn't to mean) then review, and tell me about it. I would love to include some of your guys's idea's in my story. After all, the readers make the writer (i guess). Other than that, Thanks for reading and have a quarky day!
