DISCLAIMER: I don't own Percy Jackson and the Olympians.
Percy
The Circle was exactly as I had remembered it. It still looked like a circle as far as I could tell. The guys who came up with the name were very creative, no? We had all taken our positions, which mostly included hiding behind trees and other large rocks in the area, and were totally not terrified half to death by the fact that we were about to face Kronos.
Nope, not terrified at all…
We had been there almost an hour waiting for Kronos show up. The moon was up, and as promised, looked red. He still wasn't there. I, for one, was pissed. How are we supposed to have this epic battle if the bad guy doesn't even show up?
Then I saw a shimmer in the middle of the Circle. It continued to grow until a man stood there. My eyes seemed to burn as I watched him. I couldn't see his face, but he radiated so much power. I could see the scythe Mark on his shoulder, which glowed bright white. He overall looked as if he was made of gold. I closed my eyes, stopping him from practically blinding me.
Luke was the first to come out. He seemed angry at Kronos for using his body for so long. Kronos was about to drink from one of the bags, but turned to look at him. In no time he was on the ground as a wolf, growling. Thalia, who was behind Kronos, shot his leg making him stumble. Then we were all on the Circle, shooting him with silver and wood. Suddenly he turned back into his gold-man-person form and ripped a bag open.
The blood was dripping from his mouth and he grinned, revealing his reddened teeth. Then I noticed that Thalia had stopped firing; so had Annabeth and the Stolls.
"Shit," I cursed, running towards Thalia.
"Kill them!" yelled Kronos. My dad ran towards Kronos as I reached Thalia. Her eyes now shined gold instead of electric blue, as Luke's had just before Kronos left his body.
She pointed the gun at me and fired. The bullet sunk into my chest and I grabbed her wrists tightly. Luckily the bullet was one of the silver ones so no harm was done. She let go of the gun and pushed me, making me fall to the ground. I picked up the dropped gun and shot it at her leg. She screamed in pain, falling onto the cold stone. I felt like I had been shot in the leg myself.
"Sorry," I yelled back at her, running to aid Luke. His shirt had large red stains and they grew larger and larger. His fangs were bared and he seemed to be limping. Annabeth was with him, fiddling with the gun in her hand. She had wooden bullets.
Grabbing her waist from behind, she dropped the gun and turned around. I kicked the gun away before looking at her. Her grey eyes were now gold.
"I must kill you," she said. Her voice didn't even sound normal anymore.
I pushed her to the ground, convincing myself it wasn't her. It was hard to hurt her though. I looked back up at Luke, who was now helping Nico fight off the Stolls. My dad was still fighting Kronos, but they were so fast I could barely see them. Poseidon had the second blood bag in his hand by the looks of it. He also seemed to be quite injured.
Then I heard I shot fired and my leg burned in pain. Thalia was back on her feet and had somehow managed to get the gun with the wooden bullets. I fell to the side, and Annabeth stood up.
"Kill him."
Before they could, someone yelled in pain so loudly that they turned to look. It was my dad, and my heart sank. The blood was in Kronos's hands, the bag ripped open and spilled on his mouth. My dad was on the floor, unmoving.
I heard a growl, and Nico pounced on Luke, biting his shoulder. We were the only two left. I could see Kronos walking over to me. I tried to move but Thalia shot me again, in the shoulder this time. I fell back and knew that once Kronos drank my blood it would be over.
He loomed over me, golden and bloody. Then he grinned, baring his fangs.
"I-" I coughed, blood spraying out. "I taste terrible you know."
"Oh well," was his only answer.
Then I heard another growl from behind me. Before I knew it, Kronos was being attacked by the biggest wolf I'd ever seen. His fur was pitch black, and his teeth even sharper than Nico's.
Hades.
He had knocked Kronos to the ground. Another man came up behind them. In his hand was a lightning bolt shaped weapon. I almost smiled when I saw it. One side was made of wood while the other was silver. It was specially made so that neither side would wear or break. It was the ultimate weapon for a hunter.
Zeus.
He stabbed Kronos with the silver side, making him yelp.
"You-are," began Kronos through clenched teeth. "You are terrible children!"
"Well we didn't like you either, daddy," growled Hades before biting his arm.
This time when Zeus stabbed him, it was in the heart. Pulling it out, he turned it to the wooden side and stabbed him again. He screamed one more time then there was silence.
"Percy?"
I turned back to Annabeth and Thalia. Annabeth bent down next to me and stroked my face.
"My dad," I croaked.
I turned back to Zeus and Hades who had already gone to their brother. Travis and Connor were bloody and cut, and Luke was using their support to walk. Nico was back as a human again, and went to his father. Thalia also seemed to notice that her father was now there and walked towards him as well. Kronos's body wasn't there. It had disappeared. Even his blood wasn't stained on the Circle as the rest of ours still was. I looked back to Annabeth and I smiled as she looked down at me.
Her eyes were grey again.
A/N: Sorry it was short. Damn, I say that way too much, don't I? :/ I'm just not good with fighting scenes…sorry if it's kind of bad compared to my other chapters. I'm still working on battle stuff. But I'm getting better a little bit at a time okay? :D
One more chapter left! I hope you guys are excited to see the end. Well…this kind of was the end…you know who won...then again it was pretty obvious…but I still need to wrap up some things so yeah.
Review guys! :)
