I cowrote this part with my cousin, Awesome-weirdo. You should totally follow her!
So here's the rest of A Greek Catastrophe.
"Here it is, good o'l Greece!" Cheered Percy happily.
Annabeth looked up. She had seen Greece before, but she still had to gasp when she saw the beautiful landscape below her. Blackjack flew down to a hill, but as soon as he touched the ground, the Earth opened up and man, Pegasus, and woman fell through.
They landed in an underground cavern. The Floor was littered with shriveled up...slugs.
"You okay?" Asked Percy.
"Yeah. Just...just a little...winded."
"Yeah."
Annabeth found his hand and pulled herself up. She almost fell, but Percy caught her.
"What"s wrong?"
"I think I twisted my ankle," Annabeth replied.
"Just..,sit sown and stay here. I'll start looking for a way out."
Blackjack whinnied.
"I think Blackjack found something. I'm going to go follow him. Will you be okay here?" Percy asked.
"Yeah. You go, I'll be fine."
Percy walked into another part of the cavern as Annabeth inspected her ankle. It looked swollen,but not broken. Annabeth had a flashback to twelve years ago in Rome. She shuddered, that was horrible.
She heard a laugh through the tunnel that Percy had walked through.
Uh oh.
Now she had to go rescue her husband from who knows what? Again. She took out her dagger, and hopping on one foot, began to pursue Percy.
Percy was just walking along, joking with Blackjack about all the slugs littering the floor, when they heard the evil laugh.
Blackjack froze and Percy pulled him behind a boulder.
"Was that good enough, Mr. Slug worth?" A voice echoed around the chamber
Blackjack stifled a laugh.
"Blackjack!" Whisper yelled Percy.
"Sorry," said Blackjack as he slunk into the shadows.
"What was that, Mr.Slugworth? Did you hear something?"
Percy pressed against the rocks, barely breathing.
"Hmmm...how about you go and see? I could some more sluggy friends, you know?"
"Yes boss."
Percy heard a gurgle and then a slimy squishy sound that went on for a long time. Then it stopped. Percy breathed a sigh of relief. Good. He and Blackjack would just get back to Annabeth and... Gah!
There was something very, very slimy on Percy's head.
He wiped some slime out of his eyes. "Gross."
Then he blacked out.
Suddenly, everything that Annabeth had been listening to stopped.
It probably meant Percy was in more trouble.She inched a little farther to where the sounds were coming from and smiled happily, she had found Percy! But something was wrong. Percy was laying on the floor but he was encased in something gooey and green. Slugs were pulling him towards the opposite side of the cavern. Blackjack was half running, half flying around the room, only to trip because a slug had literally squirted his legs with green slime.
Annabeth sighed, typipcal.she didn't want to interfere yet though. She would wait to see if the slugs ever dropped him off somewhere and left him alone.Boy, they would have a lot to tell the kids when they got home. She wondered what they were doing with Leo and Calypso now. Probably not missing their parents and having the time of their lives. Oh well, good for them. Annabeth had a problem to solve right now, though. And she had to get started. She waited before the slugs and their prisoners were out of the room before before following the squelching noises which was pretty hard because of her ankle. So half limping, half hopping, Annabeth followed the trail of slime.
Everything was green. And slimy. Percy jumped up with a start, where was he? Where was Annabeth and Blackjack? Why were there slugs everywhere? He got up and got a better look at the cave that he was in. Blackjack lay in the corner whinnying in his sleep. Percy gathered enough willpower to lifts his arm, and then the rest of his body. Slowly, he moved over to the restless Blackjack.
"Yo! Blackjack!" Percy whisper shouted. The horse just groaned. Percy did all he could to wake the sleeping creature, but failed.
After getting a better look around, Percy uncapped Riptide. He knew three things.
1. no one was in this part of the cage except him and Blackjack.Not Annabeth. He hoped he she was alright.
2. There were slugs and green slime EVERYWHERE and he had no clue where they came from, but that something or someone brought them.
3. He was really: scared, annoyed, mad, and upset. He would kill what or whoever did this, maybe even literally.
Knowing these three things were obviously not enough! So he had to keep going. After turning through the maze of caves, Percy started to feel anxious. His mind was whirring a mile a minute going through all the possible monsters that could be down here.and it worried him that only he could fight.More and more slugs appeared on the grey stone walls that were now completely covered in slime. It looked like snot to him.But what was the most disturbing thing was that mysterious laugh clinging to his brain.
He heard it again and it took him awhile to realize that it wasn't coming from inside his head, but from the cavern walls beyond.
Annabeth entered the room where the slugs had taken Percy and Blackjack . She put on her best hero face with her hands on her hips.
"Okay Seaweed Brain, I'm here to rescue you from these...slugs."
Nobody answered. There was complete silence.
"Percy? Honey? Hello? Blackjack?"
No answer.
"Ugh! I guess I gotta go find them now," muttered Annabeth as she walked into the next cavern.
"Hello?"
"Hello!"
"Who's there?"
"Me!"
"Who?"
"Slugmetiuitacuslyincatnae and I'm here to slug you and then salt you!"
"Slug me what?"
Slugmetiuitacuslyoncatnae, and you will not know the rest of your days, bwa ha ha!"
"Ok, listen Mr. Sluggy whatever, I've got a freaking husband who is probably in mortal danger. So if you could just kindly tell me where he is so we can just leave. I'm also going to need his stinking Pegasus!" Yelled Annabeth.
The invisible voice didn't seem to hear, "Do you have a family?"
"Yes..."
"I've always wanted a family. All I've got is my fellow slugs. Well, I will most definitely slug you, but I may not salt you. You can become part of my family. We can even get married."
"I already have a husband. And kids."
"Oh, you won't have a husband for much longer, sweetheart," and then the voices body appeared.
The evil laugh turned into an echo as the body that the voice belonged to moved across the walls. As Percy listened, he noticed that voices were coming from the slugs and he could hear what they were saying, like "master would be proud of us," or, "father would be happy," "He is strong. A good addition to our family." Percy shuddered. He had to find his wife and get out. He started to run.
He went through rooms of stone trying to find any sign of Annabeth. Just as he was about to give up, Percy spotted a giant monster taunting her.
It was like a giant slug, but with a man's face. It had about a thousand tentacles dangling from all over it's body. It picked Annabeth up, it was absolutely so awful, and she could only describe it with one word. Slimy. She vaguely remembered Percy running into the cavern before blacking out from sheer grossness.
No.
Annabeth couldn't be dead. But that was what Percy saw. Annabeth was hanging limply from the slugman's hand, blood turned green from infection oozing down her neck.
"No!" Screamed Percy.
The slugman's looked at him, "What dude?"
"You killed her!"
"I did? Oh my slug gods, I didn't mean to do that! We were going to get married and she was going to get turned into a slug, and then watch you get slugged and then salted, and then we were going to have cute little slug man babies and...she can't be dead!" Screamed the slug man.
Annabeth moved a little, and Percy realized she was still alive. He had to buy her some time.
"Yes! Look what you've done Slugman, you've killed her with your sheer ugliness!" Percy geek wept.
"Oh my slug gods, I gotta go get deuglified!" Then he put down Annabeth and left the room.
Well, that was easy.
Percy ran over to Annabeth and picked her up, ran out of the cavern, jumped in Blackjack, and flew through a very convenient hole in the ceiling. Percy felt just like a true hero.
Hike they were flying, Annabeth woke up and kissed him.
Percy wiped some off his lips.
"Sorry."
Percy grimaced, "it's fine."
They flew until they got to Athens, where they got off at an old temple dedicated to Athena.
"It's beautiful," breathed Annabeth, leaning her head against Percy's shoulder.
"Let's go in," said Percy with a smile.
They walked inside and Annabeth gasped. Everyone, literally everyone was there. Piper started to say something that sounded like, "What happened to you guys?" But it was devoured by the chorus of "Happy anniversary!"
Annabeth turned to Percy, "we went through all this just so you could bring me to a stupid anniversary party?"
Percy smiled.
Annabeth sighed, "I love you seaweed brain."
"Love you too, wise girl."
Please comment and love Percabeth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
