California
Reyna
I was waiting patiently with my sister, Hazel, and Frank. For the past few days, we have been preparing everything for the departure. We pack extra clothes and all the nessisarities (Is that even a word?). Everything was fine…. Until the 'happy' hydra trio came by.
Today was the day that they would come. They were ten minutes late. TEN! That is soo no Annabeth. She is usually in line and all straight with her choices.
They said that it would take a few hours from here to there by boat. About 4-5 hours. She would never ever be late. Right?
While we were waiting, we heard terrified screams. I looked and saw hydras. Three of them to be exact. I grabbed my sword and ran out with my friends and sister.
We stood in front of them and I told them my battle plan.
"Ok guys, we all know what happens when we cut their heads off. So we shall use battle strategy number 16 for this one. Hylla follow me. Now go!" Everyone scattered and started the formation. Some other Romans even joined to finish the formation. The formation includes twelve people.
Four people rounded the monsters into one circle. Four people watch the circle read with weapons and Greek fire. Everyone is supposed to keep a small vile of it with them no matter what. The last four demigods just fight. It depends on what type of monster it is. Three hydras mean that there has to be sixteen people. Two for each hydra. One distracts while one of them slice out their heart. Gruesome but fun.
But they were more powerful than typical hydras. It was if they took a bathe in the River Styx. My guess is that they did. I think my life on Circe's island help me identify magic. They did and that their weak spot was right in between the first and second head. The second hydras weak spot was on his second chin. The las was the hardest. It was located on the bottom tip of his tail.
The first one was fought by Frank and Hazel. Together they make a really good team. Fighting the second one was Gwen and Dakota. My sister and I fought the third one. Wish us luck
I stabbed his side while my sister crept up on his tail. When she tried to slash at his tail, he flicked her a few feet away. She was still conscious while this happened. The best part is that we aren't near any trees. She parted her legs to a stance and skidded with her still standing. She bend forward and slowed herself down by putting her hand down. You might think, wait? No hand protection? She isn't dumb. She has gloves on that only cover half of her hand. So yes, I bet it did hurt.
Then, the hydra tore its eyes off Hylla and sectioned them on me. I was enraged by this. "Dare touch my sister?!" I asked.
"Yes," It said, "Yes I do." Wait what? Hydras can't talk.
I took a small peak at the others. Their hydras were finished. They rushed at us and tried their best to defeat it. Everyone was flung to the side. I stood there shocked and saw all my fellow warriors being thrown around like a little kid's toy.
"Everyone, stay back! This hydra is not like others!" I yelled. "Something is wrong with it! Please stay cautionet (Is that even word?) and please back off!" Did I know if I could fight him? Nope. Not at all. I guess I'll have to wing it.
Before I could charge, I heard a voice say, "PLEASE ENTER ANY BUILDING NEAR YOU!" this day gets stranger and stranger every second. First, a talking hydra, and now a random voice telling us to take cover.
"C'mon sis! Hurry up!" My sister yelled to me. I, being the person with most experience with her, had no choice but to follow her. When Hylla says follow, you follow. I learned that the hard way.
"REYNA! When I say follow, you follow!" Hylla yelled at me.
"But I feel too lazy!"
"Hurry up or else I'm leaving without you!"
"Go leave. I don't care. Let me sleep in. Go on without me."
"REYNA AVILA-RAMIREZ ARELLANO! AS YOUR OLDER SISTER, I WANT YOU TO RESPECT ME AND DO WHAT I SAY! I FOUND A PLACE FOR US TO REST! COME ONE OR ELSE I'M DRAGGING YOU!"
"Mmph," I responded.
"OK, you asked for it," She grabbed my legs and started to drag me. "Dang girl, even with the limited food we eat, you're still heavy." Hylla mumbled. I was getting used to the ground and took a little nap while she dragged me. I was interrupted because she decided to go through a cold river.
"AAHH! HYLLA YOU NEVER TOLD ME WE WERE GOING IN A RIVER!"
"Well, you would have heard and seen it if you were awake and walking," Hylla said dropping my legs and helping me up.
"Can I at least wash up?" I asked her. "I feel gross from you dragging me."
"Go and that's your fault for not listening to me."
I sprinted after them and counted that everyone was here.
I thought on my past and realized how lazy I was as a child. I changed so much over the years…. I thought.
I looked outside and heard the voice say, "FIVE! FOUR! THREE! TWO! ONE!" Then there was a big green blast that shook the ground. Dust covered everywhere. I looked out the window and saw that the monster was gone. In its place was a big ship.
"EVERYONE MAY EXIT THE BUILDING!" Said the voice again. This time, I realized it was a girl's voice. From it, I could tell power of the user. Sometimes I think living with Circe wasn't that bad. She taught us many things. Like how to read other peoples expressions. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have told the others how to defeat the hydras.
We grabbed our bags and I said to them, "Come on guys, time to go on a journey."
Nico
Blasting hydras is actually pretty fun. I was bored waiting so Leo let me blast them out of harm's way. Luckily I feel no deaths right now. So that means everyone was safe… I think.
I got the honors of blasting them. Calypso got the honors of warning everyone. So I guess everyone is happy.
"So Nico..." A voice said behind me. I turned around to find Annabeth and Piper smirking at me.
"What do you want?" I grumbled.
"Oh nothing," Piper said," just your relationship with Rey Rey."
"What do you mean?" I asked trying to cover the nervousness in my voice.
"Oh come on Nico! We girls can tell you like Reyna!" Annabeth said.
"I don't," I tried to respond calmly. Piper shook her head.
"Nico, Nico, Nico. I'm a child of the love goddess herself. You think I can't tell when I feel love? I promise that I won't use Charmspeak on you to get the answer I need." She said calmly.
"Promise?"
She sighed, "Cross my finger, close my eyes. Now will you tell us?"
"Ok, I don't like Reyna. There." With that, I ran away from the girls. I looked back and saw them shaking their heads as if saying that I'm impossible… and I absolutely agree.
I went to the other side of the railway and looked out at Camp Jupiter. It was in its beautiful way. I looked down and saw Reyna talking with Terminus. We hovered above and set our ladder down.
"-let them cross?" Reyna said.
"They are in a killing machine that, last time, destroyed Camp Jupiter. I will not let that happen once again." Terminus argued.
"I am praetor and you shall do what I say."
"I am a god."
"Well too bad."
He gasped, "Well, well, well, look what that Mr. Rule Flouter taught you now! I thought you knew better!"
"I hear you're talking about me," Percy said." Am I really that good of a subject to talk about?" Luckily, Annabeth hit him before he could get killed by a stone statue.
"Jackson." Reyna said.
"Hey! I thought you would stop calling me that name!" He said obviously irritated.
"Reyna! Hazel!" The girls came running off the ladder and started hugging them. Bianca just stayed by my side.
"Hello Annabeth and Piper. Good to see you to again."
"You call them by their proper names and not ME?!" Percy yelled in frustration. Then, out of nowhere, he shrieked. All eyes were on him as he cowered in fear. "Am I really that scary? I just forgot to get something in my sister's room." Hylla said confused.
"All of us burst into fits of laughter but me, Thals, Reyna, and Hylla. We all said our goodbyes and boarded the ship.
"Hey Nico," a voice said behind me. I turned back to see Reyna smirking at me. Gods… Ever since the quest, I've been liking her. Just never said anything.
"Hey."
She let out a small laugh and smiled at me. "Is that really how to say hi to a friend after all these months? I guess you don't even want to say my name," We kept talking and then someone had to ruin it.
"So Neeks, is this your girlfriend?" Bianca. It had to be Bianca.
We looked at each other and then looked at her. "We're not dating," Reyna said.
"Really? My brother talks a lot about you."
"You're his sister aren't you?" Reyna asked.
"Yup! And I'm proud to be wittle Nico's older sister." She said while pinching my cheeks."Well, I have to go. Bye!"
Once she was out of earshot, Reyna leaned in and whispered, "You're sister's crazy thinking we're dating."
I nodded in agreement. "She can be really crazy at times. When I mean really, I mean really."
Then Hylla came. "So sister, is this your new boyfriend?"
I groaned. Does everyone think of this now? "Really sister?"
"What? You and this boy look cute together." Hylla said.
"Sister… just, just…"
"No," I said.
"Awwwwwww! You guys even finish each other's sentences!" Piper said.
"Is everyone on the upper deck?" Reyna questioned. I looked back and saw everyone around us. "Yup," I answered. Hazel was beside me, Bianca was behind me, Hylla was right next to Reyna, Jason was with piper next to Bianca, Frank was next to Hazel, and Percy and Annabeth were behind Reyna, and Thalia was next to Jason. We were both trapped in a circle of people. Calypso was with Leo at the control center. They were the only people not crowding us.
"I know, aren't they cute!" Hazel said.
"My wittle cousin getting a girlfwend!" Thalia said.
"I think you picked a good choice Rey Rey!" Percy said. That ticked the bomb off. We all looked at him in shock. Nobody calls Reyna that but her family members and Hazel. She glared daggers at him and he started to shrink.
"What did you just call me, Jackson?" Reyna growled.
"Nothing," he squeaked.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing," he said his voice getting higher.
"Come on Jackson. You're coming with me," she dragged him by the ear.
"Wise girl? OW! Thals? Ow! Jason! OW! LEO! OW! FRANK! HAZEL! SOMEONE HELP ME! CALYPSO! HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLP!" She dragged him down the stairs to who knows where. We all laughed as they disappeared. We heard Percy yelling downstairs.
"IMMA SORRRY FOR OWT I DOWD TO YOW! PLLLLEEASE FOR ME OWCH!"
"Nope." She replied.
"You know I could wash you in water, right?"
"You know I could kill you, right?" Soon enough, Percy came up with bruises and cuts. One black eye and probably one broken bone or so. With this distraction, I sneaked off to the stairs, slid down the railing. I went down to my room and grabbed my phone.
The gods were nice enough to make a store for phones and electronics for demigods that won't attract monsters. Cool huh? Thanks to helping in the war, we got free stuff! I got an HPhone, headphones (not earbuds, headphones), and like everyone else, a charger just in case. I plugged my headphones in and started to listen to my music.
Jason
Poor, poor, Percy. A mad Reyna is a scary Reyna. Have I gotten her mad? Yes. Have I almost died? Yes. Is it really scary? Imagine a titan trying to chase you. Yes, that scary but worse. Everyone was laughing like cray mad men. Even Hylla was laughing! If you ever met Hylla, she never laughs or even smiles. I see how those two are related.
"You alright dude?" I asked him.
"But Nemo never met his mom," He responded.
"What?"
"But nothing! I feel bad for Nemo. He has such a sad childhood. Even Ariel had a better- never mind."
"Percy," Annabeth said, "You need to calm down."
He looked at her accusingly. Were you the one who put a hole in my hula-hoop?"
"Percy-"Annabeth started.
"SO YOU DID! YOU RUINED MY HULA-HOOP! I WILL AVENGE IT!"
"PERCY!" Annabeth shouted.
"WHAT HULA-HOOP RUINER!" He yelled.
She gave him a quick peck on the lips and said, "Percy, calm down."
"I'm calm mom. Now where are we? What are we doing and how is everyone? Where's my blue pancakes, Annie?"
I left them to find Nico. I am basically his older brother. I shall take care of him. Where could he be…? Where... Where… Aha! His room. I ran down the stairs to the hall of rooms. I peeked in his room. As usual, he had a black room with Dark Oak furniture. We got to customize out own rooms thanks to Leo.
He was on his bed listening to music. His eyes were closed as if he was taking a nap. I took one step forward and he said, "I can hear you Grace."
"How did you know it was me?"
"I can hear your steps. "He said, eyes still closed. "And only you, my sister, or someone dumb would come in here. My sister always knocks so it had to be you."
"Well someone's been spending too much time with Reyna." He grabbed a pillow from his many pillow collection on his bed and threw it at me.
"You do know you could've broken my glasses by that, right?" I asked him.
"Yup. That's why I meant to do that."
"You're nice." I grumbled to the young demigod.
"I know I am," He said smirking.
"What song are you listening to?" I asked him. I took his phone with him protesting at me. "Really? What has my sister done to you?!" I looked at the title. Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day.
"What?! It's a good band!" He protested sitting up, eyes open.
"My sister really brainwashed you," I groaned.
"What did you say about me little bro?" I looked back and saw Thalia leaning against the door frame with a smirk on her face.
"Nothing ma'am."
"But, I do agree with Death Breath here, it is a good band," she said.
"Don't call me Death Breath!" Nico yelled.
Thalia let out a small chuckle. "I came here to tell you guys that we're meeting in the dining room in fifteen minutes."
"Why fifteen?" I asked.
"The others still need to unpack, Leo needs to add more oil and add something to the ship, and I think that's all."
"Ok," Nico and I responded. She turned to the door and started to leave. Nico and I couldn't help but laugh. She turned around and said, "What's so funny?"
I approached her and took the sign off her back. It said the usual, "Kick me!" She became enraged and yelled, "JACKSON! VALDEZ! COME BACK HERE YOU TWO RUNTS!" We heard laughter and followed her. She chased them up the stairs and on the deck. She took her bow out and started to shoot. It caught on Leos' shirt and pinned him to the main mast.
"PERSEUS ODESEUS JACKSON! COMEBCK HERE RIGHT NOW!" She electrified him.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to-"Thalia said.
Percy hit her with water once he got up.
"I didn't meant to either," Percy replied.
I heard Annabeth mutter, "De ja vu."
"Percy," Piper said.
"You want some Water boy?"
"Bring it one Pinecone Face."
So she blasted him with some lightning. I couldn't just stand there, so I said, "Thalia that is enough!"
Percy glared at her and sent her and shot her with water. Sadly, she was near the entrance of the opening to the stairs.
"Okay guys," Hylla said, "We're ready for the meeting." Right then, she was hit with water with Hazel, Frank and Reyna by her side. "Get him?" She asked the others. They all nodded. Even Hazel! "CHARGE!"
-TIME LAPSE-
We all gathered and sat at the dining table. Most of us were still a bit wet. Most of us were giving death glares at Percy. Thanks to him, I have a really bad scratch. Don't ask. Want to know what happened? Well…
"CHARGE!" Hylla yelled. They all charged. "What are you doing guys?!" I asked the others. "Help them!"
So we tried to stop but instead we made it worse. Thalia tried to hit Percy, but thanks to me, she accidentally hit Calypso. I grabbed Thalia by the waist. 1 of the many perks of being taller: Getting the advantage of dragging your sibling. "Let me go! JASON!"
"Nope," I answered. She elbowed me in the stomach and ran. Leo escaped and started to set Thalia's' clothes on fire but when that happened, he accidentally set Annabeth's and Hazel's clothes on fire too. They ran around trying to get him while Frank accidentally tripped me. So then Percy was running around from a mad Calypso. I tried to get Frank, but he turned into a lion and accidentally hit Piper. Piper ran from Frank and accidentally tripped Hylla. That enraged her. Thalia tried to hit Frank but he ran around and she hit Reyna. Reyna tried to get Thalia but hit me instead. I now have two cuts on the side of my hair now. I ran after Frank and he cut me. Leo kept setting everyone on fire.
Percy stopped and remembered something. He grabbed a lot of water and splashed it on all of us. Where was Nico and Bianca? I looked up and saw them calmly talking on the main mast. Ugh.
"What about the meeting?" Percy asked us. He went to Annabeth and started to dry her.
"YES!" We turned around to find Piper, Hazel and Calypso were dry. Must've touched him while he was drying Annie and him.
Yup, that is how Percy and Leo committed suicide.
Soo? How did you like it? Good? Bad? Ok.
You should go read fanfiction from Turtleswag. She might need a little flash of help for thinking of new ideas that can go between.
And SilverHuntresses. Both are awesome people. Have a great day!
