The Ocean's Glare - The Lightning Thief

Chapter 10

Chapter 10 - when I grow up...

I don't want to be anything like Ares. Hello, Percy here! Peyton lost her pencil so I am writing while she isn't looking.

So, back to the thought, when I grow up don't want to be anything like Ares because of many things that if I listed them here I would A) get killed by Peyton for cussing(It's strange because I can tell she wants to a lot) B) Ares would hate me more than he already does. C) Peyton is BACK WITH HER PENCIL SO I NEED TO RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!

Hi, so I ran from the cabin and I figure I have about 15 minutes before Peyton finds me.

After the whole arch thing, as I have dubbed it, we got back on the train and headed for denver. The whole time I was wondering about the person from the arch. I officially know there is one since they pushed me over the edge. I also know because I saw an invisible girl in the mississippi. I swear she laughed at me but then when I grabbed her she bucked around so I let her go.

Right after she left, this nereid came by and told me to go to Santa monica. Yay! By the way when I walked out of the river I saw a girl that looked like Peyton! It wasn't her though because there were two boys with her.

I know Peyton why don't you shout it out loud! Wait, Peyton? Ah, styx. Ok, found a better hiding spot that hopefully Peyton doesn't find as fast. She called me an idiot earlier.

Anyway, back to the train. After I had been strangled by Annabeth ("If you die the quest is over!") we hopped back on the train just as it was about to leave. When we got off in Denver the first thing we noticed was the fact that it had been a while since we last ate, so we went into a diner. Sadly, we didn't have any money, just a few spare dracemas. Then, from outside you could hear a motorcycle sound and a loud yell. Sounded kinda like taunting.

A few seconds later, a man that you would instantly think of as a wrestler walked in. He had this cruel sneer on his face and his clothes kinda remind me of Peyton's when she came back from school. I instantly wanted to get up and just punch him in the face.

The man walked over and sat down in the booth Annabeth, Grover, and I picked out. He ordered us food and tossed a dracema at the waitress. It hit her between the eyes and she blinked in shock before scooping it up and examining it.

"What is this? We don't accept this here!" she explained.

The guy, or should I say god, took out a knife and twisted it in his fingers, "I think you do."

She suddenly seemed scared and walked away taking the drachma with her.

"You can't just threaten people like that!" I told him.

"So, you're Old Seaweed's kid?" he asked, brushing away my statement.

Yes Peyton, I do know what a statement is. And again, it is my turn to write a chapter so get over it and BYEEEE! Ok I have a brand new hiding spot that probably will not work at all.

"So what's it to you?" I spat.

"Uh Percy, that is Ares." Annabeth stated before I could do something stupid. He looks a lot like Clarisse, I wonder if Peyton could flip him upside-down... probably not(Yes, that is a vote of confidence if you are asking, anyone else and I would have said 'not in a million years'.)

"Ahh, someone recognizes me. The child outside recognized me too but she is pathetic." Ares boomed. If I looked behind his glasses you could see the fire in his eyes. Or his eyes in the fire? Honestly his eyes were more fire than eyeball.

"What do you want Ares?" I snapped.

"I left my shield at an abandoned waterpark. You get it for me and I will get you a trip west." Ares offered.

"Why should we duh fuh spupit chesht?" that last part is because a hand slapped over my mouth followed closely by a second one. They were connected to Annabeth and Grover and both were silently telling me that I should shut up.

They removed their hands and Grover bleated, "We will do that um uh Lord Ares."

I wanted to stand up and say 'no we won't' but sadly, I didn't get the chance because the waitress came back with an order that we didn't make. I didn't want to eat it but I did because, why not? I was hungry.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Peyton found me again!

To the people reading this, I am so sorry you had to suffer through Percy for that chapter. Honestly though, I probably would have cussed like a saylor. I hate Ares for a good reason, you will see the next chapter.
