Chapter 10: 'Little Pigs' and Sirens

Wind's POV

I wasn't really angry. I guess...it's was just in the heat of the moment. I didn't want to loose anyone else. Percy's my brother, I guess, and that makes him someone I don't want to loose. Seeing him in that moment of weakness made me snap.

I picked up the old sail I had before I got the Swift Sail, and put it on top. We all looked at what we had left. It wasn't much.

"Look...I'm sorry." I said, breaking the silence. "I pushed you a lot, so that we wouldn't loose anyone else. I should've thought you were feeling horrible about it."

Percy sighed, "It's okay, Wind. You did what we had to."

I sighed, standing up. "In my apology, I'll show you a trick."

I took out the Wind Waker.

"You're going to conduct...?" Annabeth asked.

I quickly conducted the familiar tune, and the wind moved at the right direction.

"How...?" Annabeth asked.

I shrugged, "It's the Wind Waker."

~~~

I followed Percy and C.C. C.C seemed to forget about me as she talked to Percy. Finally, she came to me.

"Wind, dear? What about you?" C.C asked.

"Actually, I'm not interested." I said calmly. "I'm good the way I am."

The lady was just pointing out everyone's faults! What was with this lady?! And Annabeth and Percy, acting like she was the queen...

We're they under a spell? That would not be good.

"In that case, you can wait in the other room," C.C said with a strained smile.

Something about that smile was off-putting, but I went away anyway.

That's when Annabeth asked me to go into back into where Percy was. I followed her. We just saw C.C drop a small pig (it didn't look like a regular one) into a cage, cursing under her breath. The small pig was weird. It squealed like crazy, yet there was something familiar about it. 

Annabeth, sure, she looked different. She looked too...not normal. It might look good on anyone else, but it wasn't was Annabeth was like. It looked fake. It wasn't like she should be. Like Tetra isn't just 'Zelda', her true self is Tetra. A pirate of the high seas.

"Where's Percy?" Annabeth asked.

One of the pigs squealed up a huge storm. I wonder...

Annabeth and C.C started to talk about Annabeth becoming a sorcerer. That's when it occurred to me.

"Hey, Circe," I said, and she looked at me. "Y'know about Percy becoming one of those pig things...."

I glanced at Annabeth. She was looking at Percy with a dreamy expression, something I saw Percy had.

"Hylia-" I muttered, but Annabeth spoke.

 "Let me think about it," Annabeth murmured. "Just... give me a minute alone. To say good-bye."

"Of course, my dear," Circe cooed. "One minute. Oh...and so you have absolute privacy..."

She waved her hand and iron bars slammed down over the windows. She swept out of the room and I heard the locks on the door click shut behind her.

Annabeth stopped with the dreamy face. I rushed to the cage, Annabeth behind me.

"All right, which one is you?" she asked.
