Sea Princess

Chapter 18

I sighed as I glanced around the place, we were in. It was a gym or something along the lines of that at this boarding school. We were also at a dance too. Blake and I were slow dancing while keeping our eyes and ears open looking for any signs of a teacher taking someone they shouldn't or two kids that looked like they were freaking out somewhat. I pulled back to look at Blake and he was smiling at me.

"I love you," He murmured.

"I love you too," I smiled as I kissed him lightly.

"You two are supposed to be helping us on this mission, not sucking face!" Annabeth hissed.

"Don't get your panties in a twist." I said as I rolled my eyes. Her face went red and glared at me. That's when I went to go get a drink and I left Blake with Annabeth. I don't exactly know if that was a good move or not, but I didn't exactly care right now. As I walked over, I saw Percy looked skittish. I glanced at him confused and he saw me and waved me over quickly. I walked over to him quickly.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"I saw Thorn going with the two kids come with me." He said as he grabbed my wrist. I nodded and we followed him. We got the entrance hall again and we saw the kids on the far side wall. I glanced around and didn't see anything, so I gave Percy the all clear and I noticed he had Riptide out. I got my own out and glanced down at my own sword which was the one my father had given me when I noticed that it had some Greek lettering on it. After staring at it for a minute the word clicked. It spelled 'Andromeda'. Of fucking course. I wasn't that lucky to escape that without having it to come and bite me in the ass. I wonder if my dad knew this and was laughing about it as I thought about it. Percy walked over to the kids quietly as I walked behind him covering him making sure that Dr. Thorn wasn't going to come out here.

"It's okay we're not going to hurt you." I heard Percy murmur soothingly to them. That's when I heard something. I turned around and saw Dr. Thorn. Before I could open my mouth, he swung his tail and slammed it into my stomach and sent me flying across the room and I groaned as I hit the floor. I noticed Percy had already been slammed to the wall.

"I know all about you Perseus Jackson...and Ms. Cassandra Chrysler." He said. He came over to me before glancing at Percy. He had a pale look coming over him and I glared at Dr. Thorn as he grabbed me by my hair and forced me up. I felt something poke into my shirt.

"Don't make me hurt you little one." He whispered as I stood up and walked over to the other three. Percy swung out at him blindly and that's when he threw another dart and it stuck next to the girl, her name was Bianca. I finally remembered it! She whimpered quietly.

"You all will come with me nice and quietly or you'll see how good I can throw those." He said. He then took us out the doors and I glanced at Percy who looked pained. I had my sword still out and I was tempted to just throw it and hope for the best, but I didn't exactly know how that plan would work out. Thorn was muttering the whole way up and Bianca and Nico, the younger brother, were retorting back things at him. I knew when he said they had a ride waiting for us it would take us to Luke and Kronos; a place where I seriously didn't want to visit. As long as I didn't see him again, I would be happy. When we got to the clearing, we had to be at he pulled us to a halt and Bianca had to grab Percy from falling over the edge of the cliff that the clearing backed up to.

"How do we fight him?" Bianca whispered.

"I'm working on it." Percy whispered. I glanced at him.

"I say I just charge him and see how it works." I said. Percy stared at me like I was stupid.

"We saw how well that turned out with Luke." He muttered. My cheeks flushed in anger, and he realized he had said the wrong thing. I whipped around to face Thorn. He stared at me and shook his head with a twisted sneer on it.
