Percy Jackson

"One foot in front of each other," I said as I balanced on the edge of the Argo II's sail railing. I couldn't afford to fall six hundred yards. I would either die falling on the huge army of northern Cyclopes, or be flattened into a pancake on the sidewalk. "Well, if I fall, Jason will catch me. After all, he is five yards away from me on the opposite side of the sail." I said, trying to reassure myself. It wasn't working.

"Hey, Superman! You're catching me if I fall!" I yelled to Jason. "Why does everybody call me that?" He asked. "Dude, you can fly." I shrugged. "It suits you, except for the blond hair." Jason just continued moving, straight at the edge. "You guys OK up there?" Annabeth yelled from the deck. What she really meant was, "Percy, you better not mess this up." Which also meant, "don't fall." Me and Jason both said, "yes!" I never really tried to summon a storm cloud, especially one big enough to wipe out the northern Cyclopes.

This was going to take a lot of energy from both, me and Jason. That's why I was a little edgy on Jason catching me. I kept wondering if he would even have enough energy to catch me if I fell. This plan had to work, though. If it didn't, the Cyclopes would take out another city. It would be the Cyclopes' third city, if they get this one, but I wasn't going to let that happen.

I kept walking until I reached the edge if the sail pole. I looked down. OK, bad idea. I turned and looked at Frank and Hazel standing together watching me and Jason, while Leo, Piper and Annabeth looked at the sail controls to make sure they wouldn't move while we were still on them.

I started, the sky became a little darker when a couple of dark clouds suddenly appeared in the sky. More clouds were forming. The only problem was that the clouds picked up some wind, which didn't help at all with my balance. Jason started to. Thunder cracked and lightning flashed. It looked like a really good storm.

The clouds grew darker and heavier as I summoned more dark clouds. I became weaker and weaker by the minute, but I could tell it was working. The clouds made a dip, the storm became lower, and the Cyclopes seemed to notice the storm. Then the Cyclopes started a frenzy.

Hundreds of Cyclopes started running at once. The wind howling, lightning crackling, and clouds darkening. I wobbled a little, but I regained my balance. My body became weak. I seemed to get dizzy. The storm didn't seem that hard to make, but I was becoming dizzy real fast. I glanced back at Jason. Jason seemed to have no problems, just a slip here and there. How was he OK, and I wasn't?

I stumbled, then regained balance. My vision blurring. Then, I felt something cold wrap around my legs. I glanced down. It seemed to be a thick vine, curling around my legs, and growing thicker and thicker. Instantly I thought, "Dionysus?" but it wasn't a grape vine. It seemed more like an animal or monster. The thing seemed to be coming from nowhere. Then I was yanked downward.

I caught my self with my arms around the sail pole. The vine-ish thing was pulling me down. I called Jason, but he couldn't here me over the roaring wind. Leo saw me, though. He pointed and everyone turned. I looked up, trying to pull myself back up on top, but the thing kept pulling me. I struggled, kicking and grabbing, but nothing worked. The pole began to crack. How strong was this thing? "No, no, no, no, no, no, no!" I yelled, as the pole began breaking.

It finally snapped. Everything seemed in slow motion. Annabeth screamed, I fell, Jason yelled, and Hazel screamed/cried. I closed my eyes. "Wow. After all I did, I go like this?" I thought. "Lame." Then I landed, or I think I landed, whatever it was I didn't get a chance to see, because everything went dark.

Me: "How'd you guys like it?"

Percy: "Horrible, you left me falling to my death."

Annabeth: "Why is it always Percy? Can't we have just one normal day?"

Jason: "I could've totally saved him."

Me: "Well, I wanted to make it exciting."

Piper: "You didn't have anything for me to do."

Me: "Well-"

Leo: *cuts me off* "Why didn't you have me save the day? Your fans would love it!"

Me: "guys! I'm only at the second chapter! Besides I'm sure you will like me more when you read it. Percy meets someone."

Percy: "Is it a girl or boy?"

Me: "not telling. Frank, Hazel? Anything to sa- oh. Never mind. Look away!"
