Oh my god, guys... I'm so sorry... *weeps in corner* Never mind... I take the weeping back. Done too much of that already. I realize it has been over six months (already that long?), but just so much has happened. DEGRASSI MOMENT! (I do not watch Degrassi.) Well, I'm going to try to write this chapter well and I'll also try to post another chapter next weekend. I have no idea if I will, but just know that I will try.
ANYWAY, I hope this is a good chapter... but in your REVIEWS you can tell me what you think. And please don't yell at me because I didn't update in a while... I'm so sorry...
To Grace: Thank you so much for your review! And, actually, I have a writing class every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. For my school. I go to an art school.
To Callie: HUGE GINORMOUS SHOUT OUT! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR REVIEWS! IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY AND YOU WERE MY INSPIRATION TO KEEP WRITING THIS STORY! THANK YOU, CALLIE!
Okay, I just found out that I get more reviews from people who aren't members that I do from people who have an account! I really want to write back to some people who leave comments! But I can't! GRRRRR!
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians. (I didn't think of a creative response because I'm saving the creative juices for the story!)
OHMYGOD! I REALIZED I HAVE 120 SONGS BY GREEN DAY ALONE ON MY IPOD! LEAVE ME A QUESTION ABOUT GREEN DAY IN YOUR REVIEWS AND I'M SURE I CAN ANSWER IT WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING IT UP! IF ANY ONE LEAVES A QUESTION, I'LL ANSWER IT IN THE NEXT CHAPTER!
...Line Break...
I slipped into my black armor which weight twenty or so more pounds and put on my helmet. I ran outside of the armory to survey the scene, but that didn't really work out because the moment I was outside, five empousa were attacking me. I stooped down to the ground a grabbed my Stygian iron sword and prepared for battle.
I ran towards the first empousa. She swung her sword in a wide circle, aiming to take of my head, but I ducked under the sword when I realized what she was doing. I stabbed her in the stomach. She gasped and became golden dust. Before I could catch my breath, the other four empousa charged at me, obviously not happy about what I did to their sister. So, I charged at them, too. But before I was even ten feet away from them, two dissapeared. I quickly fought off the other two uncoordinated empousa and look at whoever helped me. Where the empousa used to be standing was Thalia Grace. At least I knew she was safe. The look in her eyes told me that she was relieved, too.
Something out of the corner of my eye caught my attention. I whipped around to see Kronos (Percy? That part still confuses me...) battling most of the campers and easily defeating them. Strangely though, he left most of the campers alive. Some were wounded, but at least not dead. I saw Thalia run over to help out other campers beat the monsters. I smiled and did the same. I saw Annabeth battling the Minotaur. He swiped at her and her dagger flew out of her hand and landed a good twenty feet away. A look of worry crossed her face. I ran over to help. Because I was behind the Minotaur, I jumped on his back. He roared in frustration and flailed his arms to try to reach me. I kept climbing though. I tried to distract him long enough for Annabeth to get her sword, but within seconds, I was thrown on the ground. The Minotaur stepped over and let out a deafening roar. I closed my eyes and prepared for the monster to hit me, but the blow never came. I opened one of my eyes carefully just in time to see Annabeth break off one of the Minotaur's horns and thrust it through his head. Before he could roar out in pain, he disappeared. Annabeth, who was sitting on his head, started falling to the ground. I knew that if she hit the ground, she would be seriously injured.
I ran underneath where she was about to fall in an attempt to catch her. But, I didn't make it in time. She landed on the ground with a soft thump and an audible crack. She landed with her leg in an obviously unnatural position under her back. She screamed out in pain. I ran over to Annabeth and knelt beside her. She screamed out again. Her eyes were wide with fear and pain and Annabeth started crying.
I looked around, about to call for help when I realized that I had no idea where we were. Some how, we had ended up in the forest in a place even I didn't remember. I tried calling for help, but it was just me and her.
Everything was quiet except for Annabeth's screams. Suddenly, I heard leaves crunching behind me. I turned around, still crouching, and looked to see who was approaching.
Kronos.
"Annabeth!" Kronos screamed. He tried to run next to her, but I picked up my sword and held it at his throat. Kronos took her eyes away from her and looked at me. What I saw made me stagger back in utter surprise. Percy's vibrant green eyes. I drew in a sharp breath and let him sit next to her, still weary about him. He knelt down and I kept my sword at his neck.
I suddenly noticed the pool of blood quickly forming around Annabeth's body. More than just a broken arm was wrong.
Forgetting about Kronos beside me, I lifted Annabeth into my arms. Percy stood up behind me.
At least, I thought it was Percy.
Cold metal touched the back of my neck.
"I'm back," Kronos whispered into my ear almost happy. I shuddered. "Now, since Annabeth won't even make it another five minutes from the excessive amount of blood loss. Just put her down." I looked down at Annabeth's unmoving form. I could feel her blood on my hands, dripping to the ground. Kronos was right. Annabeth was fading quickly.
I nodded at Kronos' command and set her down.
"Because I want to show the world that I can defeat the prophecy child with a few fancy moves, we'll have a fair fight," Kronos stepped back and said the words 'prophecy child' mockingly. Kronos grinned cockily and held up riptide as I turned around.
Kronos charged at me, his sword glinting in the light. I lifted up my sword proudly, knowing very well that this could be my last fight.
I could finally have a family again.
I'd see my sister.
...Line Break...
Okay, that was a cliffie. I want you all to know that I feel really bad about not updating quicker. I really should have and I have no excuse.
ANYWAY, Nico kinda just gave up at the end... sad really. But, he realized that everyone he ever cared about is dead or dying. Could you imagine? I think he's sad and needs a hug. *Hugs Nico*
I think his name should be spelled Niko instead of Nico. It's cooler :P
Anyway, I guess you guys can yell at me all you want... *sigh* *prepares for war/yelling/scolding*
Spell check thinks I spelled Kronos, Annabeth, and GRRRRR! wrong. That's just not right.
Anyway, REVIEW AND I'LL UPDATE FASTER!
