A New Demigod

Chapter Nine

(Rocky's POV)

I couldn't wake up. I felt everything float away like a river. I only heard faint whispers of Jason and Leo. I opened my eyes to darkness. I sat up then stood, my legs weak. I looked around and nearly screamed when I saw the ground.

It was like a dark abyss, a bottomless pit, a dark room. I couldn't see the ground at all. It was like there was no ground at all. It was just sucking me into the endless darkness.

I could walk around but I didn't know where I was or what happened. Then like a smack to the head, my anger came back as I remembered. That voice spoke in my head and then blacked out.

I wanted to kill whoever that voice belonged to. I kicked the air in frustration, which didn't help at all cause right then I did a Charlie Brown and fell on my back.

I cursed and swore in Greek, English, and Spanish. My voice didn't work in my unconcious state. I heard a snicker and I unsheathed my sword from its pocketknife look.

I saw a woman standing a couple feet away from me. She was brown like dirt and she was asleep. I couldn't comprehend this lady as I heard someone speak. "Foolish demigod." I clenched my jaw as I recognized the voice. The same voice that sent me to my unconcious state.

My voice finally worked, "Leave me alone, Dirt Face." She chuckled yet her mouth didn't move. "The ground is waking, Roxanne. The Blood Of Olympus shall arise me. Your blood shall be spilled on the ground and make me rise!" She said.

I tried running away but I couldn't. Wherever I ran, She was there. Like she never even moved. I felt my arms being pulled down and pinned to the ground yet no one was there. Then I saw water rushing towards us. The water crashed into the lady and then rushed gently under me. Taking me wherever it goes.

(Jason's POV)

I was in one of my dreams. Rocky was there but as a figment of my imagination. We were hanging out and then nearly kissed. I pulled her in when my dream shifted.

I was in a cage with a lady, whom radiated power of the gods. I realized who it was, "Juno? What are you doing here?" The lady in the dress rolled her eyes, "I'm Hera, thank you very much." I narrowed my eyes in irritation, "You stole my memoeries. You sent me to Camp Half-Blood,"

Hera looked at me, "It was part of the plan fo---" I interrupted her, "And you sent Percy Jackson to Camp Jupiter." Hera nodded, "I know, I know. A deadly hand. But you wouldn't have met Rocky and fall in love with her. One of the seven, an outsider just like her brother."

I felt my fist tighten. Rocky isn't an outsider, I can't be in love with her already either...
Hera chuckled as though she read my mind. "You don't know her, son of Jupiter. Falling in love with an outsider will only lead you into deeper trouble." I growled in irritation but she gave me a look, "Don't go growling at your patron. Especially since the giants are coming."

I looked at her confused, "Giants?" She nodded, "Yes, Jason. Giants. They are working for Mother Earth," Hera's cage and herself flickered. She winced," I don't have anymore time. Your quest is approching."

I wanted to ask more questions but then I heard someone freaking out.
