Chapter 14

Hey, sorry this took so long, but my laptop died on me, and that's where I had the original Chapter 14 saved onto it.

This is what happens when you trust technology just a little to much....

Percy's POV

I was standing in the bubble, my head tilted up to look at the sky above the water I was underneath.

Annabeth and Julie were both sleeping in the back, slightly snoring, but loud enough that I decided to split the bubble.

While searching the sky, I saw two spots, slightly moving up and down with the beat of wings.

"Blackjack?" I called out.

"Yo, Boss! Where are ya?" Blackjack replied, in an overly eager tone.

I willed the bubble to rise above the water, but still kept a bottom.

One of the spots in the air stopped for a moment and started to get bigger, and the other soon followed.

Within a minute Blackjack was only twenty feet away from me, Derek sitting on his back with an eyebrow arched into a confused look.

"What's going on?" Derek blurted out, probably because of his ADHD, and believe me, I've done that before.

"I just wanted to make a sort of dramatic apperance," I replied to him, smiling.

He lowered his head and gave a low laugh, while shaking it side to side.

I twisted myself around and went to Annabeth and Julie, and woke them up. It was really funny to watch them jump up when I made a ton of freezing water hit their faces.

"Percy!" They both yelled at me, while me and Derek just stayed where we were, laughing.

"Oh my gods that funny!" I said while laughing, trying to choke back the tears of laughter that were starting to attack my eyes.

Annabeth stood and walked over to me, lifted my head and yelled, "Are you freaking crazy!?" while shaking me back and forth, causing Derek to laugh even harder.

I grabbed her arms, and made her let go.

"No, but that was really funny," I replied, though her expression confused me.

Her face was one moment totally pissed, then the next, blank and staring into the camp.

"Annabeth, are you there?" I said, waving my hand in front of her face.

She dropped her arms, and Julie rose, and turned into to same posture.

"What's u.....Oh my gods!"

I turned and looked at the camp and saw smoke billowing up in various places, and people running around, all glinting with armor, and monsters jumping side to side, setting fires, and just attacking everything alive that was not their ally.

I looked at Derek, who was now staring at the destruction.

"Why didn't you tell me this before!?" I bellowed at him.

He turned his head sharply at me and replied, in a calmer voice, "I didn't see, I already saw the camp, but it was NOTHING like this..."

I grabbed Annabeth's hand, and turned her to face me, and said, "Wisegirl, what so you think we should do?"

"I don't...know..." she said, tilting her head down and looking away..

I lifted her head and said, "I know you do. Should we go to Olympus and inform them, or what?"

She lifted her head, and her gray eyes gave off a glint of hope, and replied, "Yeah, yeah that sounds good. At least it sounds better than the plan I had, which was that we go and help them."

Sorry I took so long updating this, i also have another story, and again, my laptop died, and I have a project for U.S. History.
