Chapter Six
~I Talk to the Titan of Big Mouths~
"I don't think we should."
"We HAVE to!"
"What if we get caught?"
"Yes, like they'll follow us through our quest!"
"We can't mess this up. First quest in twenty years!"
"Well, I'm saving Briana. I'll run off. I'll do anything to save her."
Taylor stood up, her fist clenched. "Go to Mount Othrys. But I'm going to save Briana. She's my best friend. I can't let her die!" protested Taylor, looking like she was about to tear us to bits.
"It's okay! Maybe along the way, we'll save Briana!" Hero said, trying to stop her from running out.
"I don't want anything to do with you! You just show up and pretend like you can lead us! You assume Briana's on Mount Othrys because that fortune cookie crap said A TITAN was rising there! Let's fight a Titan to save a friend! That's amazing!" yelled Taylor, dripping sarcasm. Hero glanced around the other six. She was worried that we wouldn't follow her.
I stood up and all attention seemed to attach to me. Including Chance, Mia, and John. My voice seemed to catch in my throat. My words came out as stutters. "Uh...I-I t-think w-we s-s-should trust her! I-it's H-HER prophecy!" I stammered, trying not to freak out from all the eyes on me. I really wanted to vomit right here and there.
"Who cares! It's our quest! we're all going!" protested Taylor. Everyone else muttered 'Yeah'! and 'She has a point...' Hero just looked even more confused. Even more worried. She wasn't taking this leader thing to well, but I knew she could do it. She HAD to do it! But what if she couldn't do it. Well, she can do it WITH me helping her...
That sounded so perverted!
Hero just hit me.
Well, back to the story!
"Look, if we don't go save Briana FIRST, I'm out. Screw this quest. Screw Hero for inviting me. SCREW ALL OF Y'ALL!" roared Taylor. She stormed out of my cabin, where this meeting took place. We all knew she could be sensitive, but who knew she could get that mad? I sure didn't... and by the look on everyone's face, neither did they.
I decided I should go get Taylor back. I opened the door and was hit with the setting sun. I can't believe this day was almost over! Taylor stomped through the grass, constantly whipping tears from her eyes. I had never seen her like this... What made her like this?
Don't answer that.
I extended my arm and placed it on her shoulder. She twirled around, a scowl on her face, her eyes bloodshot, and streaks through her dirty face. "What do you want!" she screamed at me. "Can't you TELL my best friend is as good as gone! And you don't CARE! Get your facts right! My life is OVER! She's never coming back because you don't WANT her to!" She slapped me and then she put her mouth to my ear. "You bee with an itch!"
I watched as she walked off, in her weird Aphrodite way. Right then and there I realized the very small crush I always had on her. She continued to wipe tears and I continued to watch her walk off. Was she really going to run away and go on an illegal quest? The prophecy called for eight... what about seven?
Oh gods, that calls for the Second Great Prophecy! I started to pace, racking my brain for the lines. Then I remembered.
Seven half-bloods shall answer the call,
To storm or fire the world must fall.
An oath to keep at a final breath,
And foes bare arms at the Doors of Death.
I shook the words off. How could this be happening now? Why here? Why me? Just more answer-less questions. Just more disappointments. Just more dang drama! Okay, I used to think life was hard. Boy, was I wrong. Before all this drama, quest, enemies, and Hero came in, it was awesome and easy compared to this.
But we couldn't reverse time, now can we?
No, but I wish.
Only inky darkness. Black as a bat. Well, sometimes a bat can be brown, but you get the idea!
The place was unrecognizable. Rock. Hard rock under me. Breeze over me. And voices around me.
"How's our inside invasion of camp doing?" asked a strange but muscular voice. It sounded old and creaky, but deep and muscular. Who he was, I couldn't tell. Or see.
"So far, they don't except a thing," said a female voice, very familiar. I didn't know who she was, but I knew I knew her.
"Wake up the boy and get out of her," snapped the old man. A hand touched my forehead and I felt a warm sensation. I opened my eyes but before I could see who the girl was, she had vanished. Someone I had recognized from pictures as Atlas stood above me, sneering like an idiot.
"Feel happy you can talk to me," said the man, looking me in the eyes.
"Whoo-hoo, I can talk to the big mouth old man!" I said, throwing the sarcasm at him.
"Shut up, boy. I can make sure you don't wake up in the morning," snapped the man.
"I'm so awesome, I WILL wake up in the morning!" I retorted.
"No you will not, if I say so. Understand? I can do anything!" roared the Titan, getting in my face, his breath smelling like they hadn't been brushed in three thousand years.
"You can destroy stars. Big whoop!" I roared. He was really getting on my nerves. And I was about to go Asian hobo on him.
"Don't get me to mad. I can always kill her!" said Atlas, pointing to where the Sky met the mountain.
Under the burden, stood Briana.
CLIFFIE! MUHAHAHAHAHA!
