Heey guys! Finally! Chapter seventeen is posted! Took me a while to accomplish it! But I did! :)
PERCY'S POV.
"Chiron! Chiron are you there!" I yelled, I ran on to the porch of the big house and found Chiron and Mr D playing pinochle. Chiron looked up at me.
"Percy? Why aren't you in your cabin?" He asked me. I stood there, out of breath for a while, Chiron and Mr D looked at me as if I was sick or something. Finally catching my breath, I started to explain.
"I- I dont know.. I had this.. This dream. It felt real! It was Kronos and Galbatorix, and Hades! They we're talking about when to attack and Kronos said tomorrow night! Then Hades said something about him bringing his beasts and Kronos is bringing the titans. And then Galbatorix is bringing his soldiers. I know you might think I'm crazy but it was so real! They.. They said something about the hellhounds that attacked Eragon and I knew that the dream I had.. It had to be real!" I stammered, Chiron looked at me, wide-eyed.
"Percy.." He started, but I cut him off.
"They knew our plan. About how Eragon was going to fly with Saphira." I said, and looked over, Eragon was walking out of the big house.
"What's going on? Percy, are you alright? Your white as a sheet.. You look like you must have seen a ghost!" Eragon said, I shrugged.
"More like I saw the future." I said, Eragon sat in a chair beside Chiron.
"Percy, if you are right about this dream, then we only have little time." Chiron said.
"They.. They said something about how the gods aren't going to help us." I exasperated.
"What?" Eragon began.
"How come they can't help?" He asked, I shook my head.
"I don't know." I said, remembering the dream that kept repeating itself over in my head..
'Now, we must prepare. Galbatorix, ready your troops for battle. Hades, summon your beasts. As for me, I will bring the titans. We must attack at nightfall tomorrow. '
"Well, Chiron, what do we do?" I asked, Chiron itched his head in thought.
"We will have to be patient. And fight." Chiron said.
"But, don't make the other campers worry, we must not tell them about this." He said.
"What about Annabeth? Nico? Grover? Everyone else? This isn't fair, we have to tell them!" I said, raising my voice.
"Calm down, Percy. If we tell everyone, the word will spread and then I fear that some will not fight after they hear it." Chiron said, I shook my head.
"This isn't right, Chiron. This is not right at all." I said, turning and walking away. I needed to tell Annabeth.
"Percy!" Chiron tried to call my name several times, but I ignored him. This wasn't right, everyone had to know. This way they we're prepared!
I arrived at the Athena cabin a few minutes later. Walking inside, trying to be quiet, I found Annabeth sleeping. Gods, she was cute when she slept. I shook her slightly.
"Annabeth.. Come on wake up.." I said quietly, she stirred and waved me away. I guess she still wasn't awake. I shook her more violently.
"Wake up." I said. She sat up, wiping the sleep from her eyes.
"Oh.. Percy. It's you. Why are you-?" But I grabbed her hand and dragged her out of bed and out of the cabin.
"What are you doing!" She cried, as soon as we we're a distance away, I turned to her.
"I had a dream." I said, she chuckled.
"I'm sure everyone has dreams Percy." She snapped, I shook my head.
"No, this dream I had, it was real. It had to be real. Kronos, Galbatorix, and Hades we're talking about attacking tomorrow night." I said, Annabeth gasped.
"Yeah I know. The reason why I think this dream is real is because Hades was talking about how his hellhounds attacked Eragon instead, and Saphira killed them." I said, looking up in the sky. Then, I looked into Annabeth's eyes.
"Hades is going to be bringing his beasts, Galbatorix is bringing his soldiers and Kronos, well, you know what Kronos is bringing." I said.
"Titans." She spat, I nodded.
"Titans." I repeated.
"Did.. Did you tell Chiron?" She asked.
"Yeah, I did. He diddn't want me telling anybody. But when he said that I came to tell you. I don't think its right not telling you guys. This way we are going to be prepared." I said, Annabeth's eyes wandered to the big house, then back to me.
"That's unfair." She whispered.
"I know. That's why I told you. But I know Chiron is going to be really pissed off at me after he finds out that I told you. I had no choice." I said, Annabeth put her hands on my shoulders.
"Just calm down. I'm sure nothing bad is going to happen." She said, shifting closer to me.
"Are you trying to get a kiss out of me wise girl?" I asked, changing the subject. She raised an eyebrow.
"Well, why do you assume that? Seaweed brain can't get enough of me?" She said sarcastically, then giggled.
"Maybe." I said, she leaned in for a kiss, so I let her. Our lips met and stayed for quite some time. When we parted, I gasped for breath. Kissing takes alot out of you.
"Um.. Annabeth." I said, she looked at me.
"I wan't you to know.. Incase I die.." I said, she cut me off.
"You won't." She said.
"I know but just incase.. I wan't you to.." I said, she cut me off again.
"You won't die." She said again. I rolled my eyes.
"Will you please let me finish? I'm trying to be romantic." I said, she laughed and diddn't say anything else. I took a deep breath.
"Incase I die.. I want you to know, that I love you alot. Like, I would die for you. That's how much I love you." I said, Annabeth blushed.
"And if I die, I don't want you doing anything stupid. I wan't you to go on with your life, and-" but she cut me off and pulled me into a tight hug. I could hardly breathe.
When we broke apart, she kissed me on the cheek.
"We won't die." She whispered in my ear.
"I know.. But.." I said, but she put a finger to my lips, shushing me.
"You have nothing to worry about." She said, lowering her hand. Just as she was about to let it fall, I grabbed her hands. Our fingers fit perfectly in between eachothers. She smiled and giggled.
"I need to go to bed." She said. I diddn't want to let her go.
"Oh. Well. I guess I do too." I said in a chuckle, she kissed me on the cheek again, then walked back to her cabin. I stood there for a while, blushing. I put my hand to the cheek that she kissed, and sighed.
Just as I was about to walk away, I heard footsteps. Turning around, grabbing Riptide from my pocket, I noticed it was Eragon.
"Hey." He said, I nodded in reply.
"So, you and Annabeth." He said, I tried not to blush.
"Yeah. You saw?" I asked, Eragon nodded.
"Look, I diddn't know.." He tried to say.
"Don't worry man, it's alright. Remember, no hard feelings." I said, then uncapped Riptide, grinning.
"Nothing a good spar can't clear up." I said, Eragon unsheathed his sword and we circled eachother.
"This time you won't win." Eragon smirked, I laughed.
"I'm sure if you won, we would be even." I said, and lunged forward. Eragon blocked the attack and tried to hit me on the side, luckily I had just enough time to block. Then, I realized, this time we we're sparring without any armour. This should be fun.
I tried to counter attack by hitting him in the leg, instead, he kicked me in the face. I stumbled back. Eragon must have been serious when he said that he would win. Despite my blurry vision for a few seconds, I flung my sword forward, then at the last second, I flicked my wrist and tried to attack him at the shoulder, he knew exactly what I was planning, and deflected it. Backing away from eachother, Eragon smiled.
"Your fighting well." He said, I ignored him and tried to attack him again. This time, we came out wrestling. Just before he could use his sword, I grabbed his wrists and we looked as if we we're playing a game of mercy. Twisting his wrists, he cried out, then at the last second, I was stupid. I let go of him, thinking I hurt him, then, he kicked me in the chest. I fell back and landed hard on the ground. Just before he was about to slash his sword at me, I blocked it with Riptide, and used my homefeild advantage. As he was trying to get a few hits on me, I tripped him and scrambled to my feet.
I pointed my sword at Eragon's neck, but this time, he diddn't beg for mercy. He used his sword and knocked Riptide out of my hand. He jumped to his feet, pointing his sword at me. My eyes widened, and I grabbed Eragon's wrist once again to keep him from attacking me. Knocking his sword out of his hand, we began fist fighting. He punched me in the face. Gods that hurt. He kept getting many hits on me with his fists. When it came to real fist fighting, I wasn't so good.
Kicking Eragon back to the ground, I had only little time to get Riptide. As I stood up, I realized that Eragon had Brisingr. Just as he was going to hit me in the face, I deflected it just in time. Phew. That would have been messy. We began sparring again, hit after hit, I started to get tired. But Eragon diddn't even look like he was breaking a sweat. Was he using magic? I diddn't know. But I coulden't have any spare time to figure it out. Then, I realized Eragon wasn't paying attention to every hit he tried to do, I kicked his knee so hard he grunted and fell back. He dropped Brisingr, and before he could reach it, I kicked it out of his reach. Then, pointed Riptide so close to Eragon's neck the tip was touching.
Panting, I diddn't hesitate, I knelt beside Eragon and put Riptide closer to his neck.
"Mercy?" I said. Eragon diddn't say anything, he was out of breath just as much as I was.
Finally, he tried to nod, without getting cut by Riptide.
"Mercy.." He breathed. Riptide returned to being a pen, and I put it in my pocket. Standing up, I held out a hand to help Eragon stand. He accepted it, just like last time, and I helped him up. He smiled at me.
"Looks like you win again." He said, I had the biggest grin on my face.
"Yup. I always do." I said, Eragon clapped my shoulder and walked towards the big house. I felt tired, so I started walking to my cabin. I arrived, taking Riptide out of my pocket, putting it on the ground beside the hammock. Without changing, I flopped on to the hammock and fell asleep right away..
