"Go down lower!" I shouted at Eevee. A group of venti were flying towards us, and those guys are Jason's responsibility, NOT mine.
I could sense a school of fish underneath us, and the minute we were near the water, I picked one up, and through it at the nearest venti. Without a seconds hesitation, I was able to make a mini hurricane that instantly brought down the group.
"Ugh," Eevee sighed, "there have been WAY too many attacks."
I nodded, and laid my head down, "how much longer until we get-"
"LAND HO HO HO!" Eevee screamed. She did a quick flip, which temporarily made me fall off, like I was flying upside down.
"EEVEE, HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY..."
But I stopped complaining instantly. The rolling hills and beautiful canals made me want to jump out, roll down the hill, and land in the water. A restaurant was serving croissants, and my stomach rumbled.
"Lets get something to eat first. They probably won't catch up 'till later," I said, daydreaming as the smell of Italy asphyxiated me.
"Do you have any money?" She asked, landing silently in a nearby alley.
"Yeah, Percy lent me some for the trip," I said, pulling out of my pocket, smirking.
"Good girl," she nudged me approvingly, "I always new you could be mistaken for a kid of Hermes."
We walked towards a small restaurant, looking out on the Meditaranian. Heat was burning my skin, and we rushed under the shade of the tables umbrella. The waitress walked up, looking cheerful, until she realized I was American, and I had a horse.
"Let me guess," she sighed, "pizza and a coke."
"Uh, no," I said, "I'd really like a calzone and some sparkling water or an orange seltzer... and can you put some carrots or an apple on the side," I smiled warmly. Her facial expression didn't change
I scarfed down my meal ('cause starvation overwhelmed me) and Eevee ate joyfully, savoring every bite... which is why BlackJack is Percys horse... they both eat like pigs.
"Leave the money," Eevee said, walking away quickly.
"Well then, okay I guess," I said, running to catch up. I quickly pulled my hair up, not caring if it was hideous, and bolted around the corners Eevee was running through. For the first time in a while, I wheezed.
She made a sharp turn into a deserted street and when I rounded the corner, horror overwhelmed me.
"Look, a horsy!" said the giant Ephialtes- or maybe it was Otis. Both of the twins hair was braided, and they were both wearing camouflage t-shirts and black pants.
"You-" Eevee started, but the giant shook her, and her head lolled in his giant hand.
I pulled of my ring, and the giant dropped her with a loud thud. I let out a cry, and the giants advanced slowly.
"Look, Ephialtes," said Otis, a sinister smile on his cut up face, "a dolly to play with our new horsy!"
"Or we could place her in hat bottle with death boy," Ephialtes boomed, sneering.
That was the final straw. Only I can call Nico death boy! I shouted an angry battle cry (or maybe a scared animal noise), and advanced.
I was able to jump on Otis' back and stab him, only to be flicked into a nearby wall by his brother.
I fell hard, and for a second I thought I was dead. My head wouldn't lift, my eyes wouldn't open... nothing would move. Then a giant fist picked me up, and I got the slightest glimpse of their evil laughing faces.
Then it all went black.
