Taking The World By Storm

Chapter 11

Piper

I was laying on the couch as usual, Jason had to leave early this morning, something about a meeting, I didn't really know nor did I care. I just sat at home and watched Grey's Anatomy all day long.

Around lunch, I waited for Annabeth to come for her usual visit but she never showed up. I tried not to let myself get to worried. One of the kids probably got sick or her and Percy went out for lunch or something. Still, I felt stood up.

As a result, I simply grabbed another carton of ice cream and that was my lunch. Around 2, I was so bored. Don't get me wrong, I love Grey's Anatomy, that show can keep me occupied for a solid week but this was my 5 time watching the entire series in a month, I figured I needed a break.

Waddling like a penguin, I made my way to the front door and decided to go for a little walk, get some exercise. It would be good for me. Once I got in a rythum with my waddling, I could go pretty fast. I was a force to be reckon with. I wandered around down the streets, then I heard a scream from a couple of blocks over. Unfortunately, I forgot my phone so I couldn't call for help, I did on the other hand, have my dagger.

I ran as fast as my fat ass would take me to where I heard the scream. When I rounded the corner, a dracanae was holding a young woman about my age against the wall. "Hey! Get your paws or claws or whatever you have off of her!" I screamed as I took out my dagger.

The monster turned to look at me and smiled. "Two for the price of one" she hissed. At that moment, I realized what a bad idea this was, not only for myself but for my son.

The dracanae lunged and thank the gods I was able to move out of the way, causing the monster to fall to the ground. With the seconds I had before the beast was able to get back up, I turned to the woman. "Go get help, NOW" I ordered before turning back to the monster.

"You wanna go scales? I am a hormonal mess and I am not afraid to cry" I said before taking a swing at her chest. The dracanae easily avoided my seemingly useless attempt to hurt it. She cackled. "You're weak. You can't defeat me" she said holding her head high.

I grinned slightly, I knew what to do. She was way to confident. I could bring this bitch down, hard. "I don't believe you. I don't think you can take me" I said, praying to the gods this would work. "How dare you? I could take on the greatest of heroes!" she exclaimed. I had her right where I wanted her.

"Prove it" I said with a smile, using the best charm speaking I could possibly do. The lizard lady glared at me. "I shall! Name a hero and I shall bring its body back here for you to see for yourself before I eat you" she said with a smirk.

I racked my mind for any demigod that wouldn't hate me if I basically threw a monster at them. Then I thought of the perfect friend. He wouldn't be mad once I explained and he sort of has this weird grudge against dracanae and is kind of awesome at killing them.

"Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon" I said boldly. The dracanae paused for a moment, as if realizing what a mistake this would be.

"Fine, I'll kill him just as easily as I kill all the other worthless heroes" she exclaimed. I swalloed hard, I couldn't do that to Percy without giving him a little warning. "But, how will I know that it was you and not one of your friends that killed him" I said sweetly, summoning every ounce of charm I had.

The dracanae thought for a moment. "Then I shall take you with me!" she exclaimed. I gulped. "H-how are you going to do that?" I asked. "Flying of course!" she said and before I could protest, she scooped me up and we were off.

It took everything I had not to pee my pants right then and there. Only one person was aloud to whisk me away into the air and that person was my husband. I knew one thing for certain, this was not my husband.
