Chapter 6
I see a couple of people and I immediately close my eyes, hoping that it is not an illusion.
'Get some food or something, when she comes around we'll come and get you okay?' a gentle voice whispers.
'Okay but you have to get me as soon as she wakes…promise?" a grudging voice mutters into the paused silence.
'I promise, now go get something to eat' the same gentle voice urges as the footsteps leave the room. I keep my eyes shut fearing if I open them the monster will be there with Coals dead body hanging out of its mouth.
My whole body begins to shake in fear of the thought which causes me to scream as pain begins to viciously attack my face as if a fire was trying to burn it off. I keep screaming and clawing at my face, several strong hands hold me down I thrash and thrash, screaming until a soft liquid is poured over my face which stops the burning instantly. I lay there so tired, and scared when two hands gently touch my face causing me to slowly open my eyes to see Coal standing there watching me.
'Hi little one sleep well I was worried you wouldn't wake up,' he whispers as if not to frighten me and leans down and kisses me gently. 'You were almost dead when we got back to camp' Coal tells me as a tear runs down his face, somehow I find the energy to left up my hand to wipe it away.
Then more bad news hits 'A quest has been issued by Athena to find the three golden apples of Aphrodite and the quest has been issued to you.' I steer hoping he's joking but the look on his face tells me otherwise. My Greek lessons taught me heaps so I know the three golden apples have been lost since the Hippomenes used it to win the race against Atlanta to win her hand in marriage. I begin to tremble as think of how the story ended with the two getting turned into lions. I sit up and Coal plods over a sits down next to me holding me close as I relax into the comfort of his body wishing I didn't have to go on this Quest but Athena must have a good reason she is the goddess of wisdom and battle strategy.
After a longer than expected wait I was finally released from the hospital with all its white walls. The monster lunges. Fighting my instincts to run away, I step to the side and I stab it through the chest of the monster and watch its twisted face scream in agony as it falls to the ground blood, spewing everywhere. My quest is to begin tonight and I have concord my fear of monsters but I must choose 2 people to join me on my quest but who? Well coal obviously, but who else? Annabeth I think as I walk away but she would never leave without Percy. I sigh wishing Coal was here right now to see my victory over the monsters, and to help me solve my person problem. I sigh remembering how last night went down… The announcement of the quest, the fact Coal got claimed as Ares's child. It's just to over whelming.
I walk back to my cabin and sit down on my creepy bed, sometimes I wonder what Hades looks like. I imagine pretty awful since he did the deco for my room. Slam, I jump to my feet to find a frightened girl with brown hair that reaches way passed her shoulders, holding a letter and shaking like the worlds about to end.
Standing there, she screams and presses her back against the door "Don't hurt me!" I quickly drop my weapon and drop to the floor to reassure her that it was ok and every think was fine I mean I couldn't blame her the room was creepy plus heaps of demi-gods were out their all holding weapons not really a reassuring thing.
"Can I see your letter?" I ask gingerly she passes it to me, the contents surprises me to sum it up she has to go on the quest lead by me and it held instructions to get to this camp signed by Athena date etc. After what seemed like hours she'd settled in and we all straight after… left annoying much. We walked down the hill past Thalia's tree to the bus stop and waited but we didn't wait long.
Clang, slash, duck, bang.
"Ouch" the claws just missed my face as the monster who was intelligent as a cat (which has a very small brain… do the maths!") Lunged at Coal who tried to drive his bronze sword up the chest of the Nemean lion which did nothing his sword just bounced off its coat. Flisha our companion throws her javelin, which also did nothing in a half-hearted attempt also slashed at the side of its head which of course did nothing. Then as fast as lightning Coal kicked its leg causing it to roar in rage and when it opened its mouth down went his sword killing the beast from the inside. We destroyed the bus in the fight so no ride for us.
