Chapter 15: Down with the demigod army
Annabeth's POV.
The hummer did not look so good by the time we got back to it. It had been trashed. Graffiti in black nico pen had been scrawled all over it and it looked like it had gone through a minefield already dinted.
"What the?"
"How are we going to get to Seattle now?" Sadie asks.
"Oh that's simple. We'd be much obliged to take you considering we totalled your car for you."
Great. It's Clarisse.
I draw my dagger. "Stay back! Five of us against one of you Clarisse."
Sade had her arrow pointed straight at Clarisse's head. Carter, Percy and Walt had swords pointed at her heart.
"Whoever said I was alone."
I glanced around quick. Double great. Nearly a hundred evil campers had surrounded us.
"We can't fight." Carter said and drops his sword.
I frowned. Of course we should fight. Going down fighting is more important than living isn't it? Somehow though, Carter's idea seemed like a good one. They were going to take us to the fates anyway. It would be so much easier to just surrender and let them take us. Carter was so smart. I sighed dreamily.
"Surrender." I say to my team. Percy's face drops. He's disappointed in me. And for a moment I'm prepared to yell fight again but then I catch Carters dark hair shining in the sunlight.
I drop my weapon. Percy angrily throws his sword at the nearest camper to him. The camper picks it up, clicks the top and it turns back into a pen. He grips it firmly. Sadie hands her dagger to Percy and he throws that as well.
Clarisse binds our hands and mouths then load us all into the back of an army truck. It's dark, small and disgusting. There's actually blood on the floor. Fresh, liquidly blood. I'm sat next to carter. As I feel the car start to move, I nudge Carters arm with my elbow.
I can't tell what time of the day it is in the back of the truck but eventually I'm sleepy. I lay my head on carters shoulder and close my eyes.
Not much to say except read and review
