Chapter 4
We Meet The Psycho Ninja Lady
(Leo's POV)
I open my eyes slowly letting them adjust to the sunlight. I lift my head and groan. I felt as if someone hit me upside the head with a pillowcase filled with bricks (sadly that has happened to me but that's another story) I take in my surroundings and see Calypso still unconscious tied up beside me. I am mad that we are in this predicament but also happy because I know she is safe. I look around and see the figure sitting on a tree stump sharpening a knife. I almost laugh out loud because of how cliche that is. I mean come on! The scary person that kidnaps people just sharpening their knife in front of their victim? Classic. I sort and the figure jerks its head up at the sound. The figure wears a mask and almost looks like a ninja in a made-by-yourself-in-the-jungle-without-real-supplies sort of way. The figure reaches around and pulls off its mask. Underneath I see… I gasp I say to the figure but your a girl. She rolls her eyes and glances at Calypso. Hows your friend? She Asks in her weirdly gruff voice. I don't know since you know us out with dust! What was that junk anyway? I sak sounding whiny even to my own ears. She laughs and it sounds sort of like a bark. Poppy powder knocks you out for a good 6 or 7 hours she replied with pride in her voice (Anyone who gets this reference gets extra credits) She walks over to me and points her knife at me. I try and be sarcastic and say oh i'm so scared! But the effect was ruined when I squeak on the last bit. She laughs again and says I ain't gonna kill ya… not yet anyway. The name's Matthias but I go by Matt cause no one can pronounce it properly. I notice then the she, I mean Matt, has a sort of Scottish accent. I was about to tell "Matt" to untie me but just then Calypso stird and I looked down to see if she was all right. She grunts and glares at Matt and asks who the Hades are you? Nam's Matt she replies and your boyfriend here was just about ready to ask me to let both ya go isn't that right hon? She looks over at me and my mouth is open. Ok so are you some kind of monster or crazy goddess trying to kill us or? Matt laughs again. I ain't gonna kill ya and no I ain't a goddess nither. I'm just a worried lady tryin to look after her whe island. I've heard that one before I replied with a humph. Now are you going to let us go are am I going to have to go all Leo style on your behind? I ask with a grin. Matt says with a laugh as if you even could! I'll let ya go but first ya gotta promise not to run ok? I start to say now you listen here lady- Calypso interrupts me and says we agree not to run unless we feel threatened. Alright, alright Matt says. She takes her knife and with inhuman speed slices the ropes leaving not even a scratch on me or Calypso. Ok now we get some answers I say rubbing my wrists where the rope had dug in. Fine knock yourself out, doesn't mean I'll answer them boy.
