Chapter 9: Follower
Here you are my pretties, if you look hard there is a clue as to who's identity gets found out first, thankyou for your lovely jubbly reviews and I want you to know I am sending you all millions and millions of imaginary brownies (Ooh, cookies...)
Disclaimer: Heh Heh, i wish i was rick but I'm not... yet...
Percy and the rest of his group swivelled round in unison to face a slightly out of breath Clarisse "What do you want?" Thalia asked suspiciously voicing everyone's thoughts "You seem familiar." She walked up to Percy and narrowed her eyes trying to see through the eye holes, Percy turned away and replied gruffly "Do you want to take a guess at my identity, or will you be a coward?" she sensed his words had a double meaning but she didn't know what it was but she knew she didn't like being called a coward, her face turned from normal to red in an instant "I am not a coward, you punk. You don't even know me, if you did you would cower in fear." The brown haired girl threatened which made Percy angry "You think I don't know you Clarisse La Rue? I probably know more about you than anyone else in the world, I have helped on every single one of your quests apart from the first time you went into the labyrinth to scout for Chiron and came back with Chris, I have helped when you tried to defeat the hydra, I have helped when you ventured into the mountains with your army to destroy the forces of Gaea, don't assume I am ignorant just because you don't recognise me. I could beat you a million times over if I wanted to; I am not cowering in fear!" He yelled at her and Clarisse backed away with her hands up in defeat, she figured that she had given Annabeth enough time and it didn't look like any of the masked figures had noticed the daughter of Athena slip pass invisible and run towards the place that the newcomers where staying.
Percy felt a hand on his arm and turned to face Shades "We had better go, I don't want to spend any more time around scum." She snarled and Percy quite agreed and followed her and the other eight of them down the hill, leaving the startled face of Clarisse behind them.
Once they were out of earshot Leo started up "Oh my gods, I was ready to have dinner when Clarisse had a go at you like that, throw a few fire balls, cook some burgers and we'd be set, I can't believe Jason and Piper were there, with all her fake things and his big head I was surprised any of us could see past it to the gods ugly faces," he fell into a fit of laughter that was so loud he didn't hear Sonia and Shades sneaking up behind him till he got pushed face first down the hill, but you know Leo, he makes a joke out of everything so instead of getting mad he just laughed some more and rolled down the hill till he reached the bottom "HAHA! I beat you guys! I am the winner!" he yelled up but then got a bit bored so he sat down to meditate. "Yo! Goldie." Thalia called to Jasper who was humming behind his gold mask. "Hm?" he broke his trance and looked around, Thalia laughed "Did you feed Red coffee this morning? He's acting more hyper than usual." She stuck out her thumb towards where Leo was below them now dancing to the Macarena, Jasper twiddled his thumbs and whistled nervously "No…" and everyone smiled at how bad a liar he was.
They arrived at a villa that had lots of statues of the Greek gods in it. They didn't last long. The first thing Percy did was run over to a statue of his dad and ask Sonia if she could make a baseball bat out of magic, she complied. He hit it as hard as he could and the head flew out of the window, Leo ran up to a statue of Hephaestus "Green, pass us the bat!" he called over and Percy threw it to him and he did the same. Soon all of the statues were decapitated and the ten leaders of The Company stood back to admire their work "I think they actually look better headless." Thalia observed and Nico smiled while the rest nodded in agreement "Do you think they have anything we can use to make them look better?" the son of Hades wondered and he had an idea, he hurried over to a curtain that hung through the middle of the room, though why they would have a curtain there was beyond him. He stepped forward gracefully and knelt as if offering a king his sword; he smirked and wrapped the yellow and orange patterned curtain around him. Bowser pulled of the necklaces from around her neck and handed them to Percy who proudly wrapped the multi coloured beads around Ares and Aphrodite, they all smirked at the stupid looking statues.
"Right, down to business. Everybody please hand me your weapons because I know that if anyone saw mine they would know who I was instantly." Percy held out his hands and the daughter of Athena that was hiding in the closet suddenly became alert as she listened to their conversation. She needed to get a look at those weapons. Hurriedly, she tried to get out of where she was hiding and shove her Yankees cap on her head, she cringed as the door creaked open and ten heads turned to see an empty closet. Annabeth breathed hard and squeezed her eyes shut hoping that they didn't know she was there. Percy's eyes looked straight at her for a second before moving on and eventually dropping to continue shoving a long pink scarf into the duat, an Egyptian thing. Leo fiddled with a few things and Annabeth watched him curiously now that the door was open and she could see what was going on "Hey guys, you know the mission I went on last week? Well Yoda wanted to give me these as a thank you and I have fiddled around a bit so they are your signature colours," He shrugged and handed out the metal devices "With these they won't be able to guess who we are because they aren't our usual weapons." He explained and pressed a button on the side of the metal cylinder; out popped a red beam "Cool lightsabers!" Shades opened hers and a dark purple beam shot out, she ran and hugged Leo who turned red with embarrassment. The others studied their new weapons an Nico and Thalia broke into a full scale battle, black and blue clashed against each other as they fought and their friends cheered them on. Annabeth had become so distracted with watching the fight she didn't notice a guy in a dark green mask walk up next to her till he whispered in her ear-
"It's not nice to spy on people you know."
Still open to guesses on who gets found out first, but if you want to get a prize you have to log in so I know it's you when you tell me which suggestion/ character to involve.
