Rogue
Chapter 3: Rogue Demigod
Hey everyone! Chapter three is up! This is going to be good!
I do not own PJO… it belongs to Rick Riordian
PERCY'S POV
"Clarisse!"
"Hey Prissy! Did you really think it would be that easy? Did you and Annabeth think you could just sneak up here and steal the flag, under the noses of the guards? I may not be an Athena kid, but I do have brains."
"Oh yea? What are you going to do about it?" I retorted.
"Well… I'm thinking about giving you a real, good beating and then hauling you and your girlfriend's sorry butts over to jail. Consider what's coming to you payback for breaking my first electric spear." She sneered and charged, aiming at my sword hand.
"Really, Clarisse? You're still mad about that?" I parried her strike and caught her spear in between our shields. " If I was you, I would have dropped it…"
"Whatever Jackson, I am not you so I can do…" breaking free of the shield trap, she swung at my legs, "…whatever I want to!"
I snarled and easily wacked her spear away, trying to end this as quickly as I could so I could tend to Annabeth. We battled like this for a few moments, parrying each other's blows until I caught her spear again in between my shield and sword, ready to snap it, just as I had years ago. Suddenly the spear crackled with electricity and I stumbled backwards, numb with pain, I could see my clothes smoking. I had to end this. I charged forward and with a roar, brought Riptide down in a deadly arch and cleaved her spear in two, while at the same time blasting her with water and freezing her arms and legs to the ground, immobilizing her.
"Jackson! SO HELP ME I WILL…." She screamed, struggling to get out of her icy prison, but failing.
I stuck out my tongue at her. I know I know soooo mature, but whatever. I ran over to Annabeth and gave her some ambrosia, and her leg healed quickly. While she was getting up, I ran over and grabbed the flag. With my help, Annabeth and I climbed down Rock hill and sprinted towards the boundary line. Not caring about who was in our way, I just slammed the campers that barred our path to the ground, leaving them dazed. A minute later, Annabeth and I crossed the border into the cheers of our team. Our team raised us up on our shoulders and carried us to the victory stage, while the Ares kids stared, angry fire in their eyes.
AANBETH'S POV
"We won we won we won we won we won!" I screeched hugging Percy tightly. "Thanks for defending me back on the Hill, and for helping me back over the border."
"Hey, no problem Wise Girl, it's all in a day's work for me." he admitted, "Although I do deserve a reward…"
"Maybe later Seaweed Brain, too many people…" I kissed him lightly and quickly, "we'll continue later."
"HEROES! The winners of the Demigod games….. THE ATHENA AND POSIDEON CABINS!" announced Chiron. He then came over to us holding a celestial bronze platter full of laurel crowns. Mr. D then came over and placed one on each of our heads. As the laurel crown was placed on my brow, I felt a strange presence in my head:
Good job Annabeth… I am proud to call you my daughter.
Mom. I noticed everyone else smiling; mom must have said she was proud of them too. And Poseidon must be congratulating Percy. As we stood hand-in-hand I thought that this was probably the best day of my life so far and nothing, absolutely nothing, could spoil this moment! Boy was I wrong.
CRACK!
All of a sudden a meteorite-like shadow crashed down in the center of camp (like how the death-eaters of Harry Potter travel) and disrupted the party, throwing a blast of dirt and small rocks on everyone. When the smoke finally cleared, we saw that in the center of the meteorite hole stood a person. He/she was wearing a black hoodie, that hid her/his face and dark blue jeans, with black converse. What was strange though was that his/her hands were surrounded by a black aura that pulsed, like it had a heartbeat.
"Who- who are you," Mr. D spoke up, "and how dare you disrupt the Games! You will be severely punis…" His voice was cut off when the demigod/ creature raised its hand and brought Mr. D forward, against his will until he was a foot away from him. All who were watching were still. I didn't want to move, he could hurt Mr. D! I just hope Percy doesn't do anything foolish… Just then Percy drew Riptide and charged at the figure, ready to cut off its head.
"Percy, don't!" I yelled.
Too late. The creature just cast its gaze on Percy and raised its other arm, immobilizing him too. Great. Just then, a voice interrupted my thoughts:
So… this is the one who they call Percy Jackson…The Savior of Olympus? And Mr. D…. Dionysus, God of Wine?
I could not define weather this person was male or female but then Percy spoke:
"Yea. What's it to you? " he said, right to the person's face.
I do not wish to hurt you and the god….. I request a weapon of yours.
"What? That's all you need? You could of just walked in and asked for…" Percy exclaimed
No… I need a special weapon… one of yours actually.
All of a sudden, Riptide floated out of Percy's pocket and headed towards the person. Percy struggled in his place, but could not move. That's it I thought. I drew my knife and prepared to charge, but then I realized, I couldn't move! Judging by the looks on everyone else's faces, they couldn't either! Riptide reached the person and he/she said:
Thank you for your generous gift Percy…. That is all
The figure walked out of the arena and into the forest, a minute later, we were free.
Thalia came up to us and said: "What in hades was that?"
Dun Dun Dunnnnnn
What's gunna happen?
