Petals

Chapter Seven

You marched across New York a mist over the human's eyes who were currently frozen. You watch as campers worked their way in evacuating them. Chiron was at your side asking if you were ready for this. As vines cause the ground to cracks beneath you, you smile saying you were born for this. Literally. That's almost how you felt about yourself, or that's what your mother convinced you over this week. That's when something creeped through the fog surprising you all to see demigods ready to fight for the Titans. You grip at their sword feeling terrible  at their brainwashing. You cried hating that you would be taking lives of the innocent and at so young. Chiron even takes a step back never have seen these children before. They suddenly charge prepared to die for their leaders. You run refusing for your children to grow up without a mother. You see the gods going through the sky heading for Cronus. You see the fear in their eyes as you brought down your blade vines bursting from the ground below them turning a blind eye as you ordered them to rip your components apart. Cries filter throughout the air from both sides filling you with dread and despair. You lost sight of Chiron as you proceeded towards Cronus some of the campers helping you along the way. Your mother watches you from a far using her vines as well to take down her enemies though she did it without hesitation. You winced as you sliced open the throat of a girl who only had bloodlust for your family. One fell after another especially after you're made a target. You continue spilling crimson watching it stain the streets of New York City. You're knocked to the ground a blade going through your shoulder to keep you down.

" You're the one he warned us about! Our master is always right! Grab her! He wants her!"

Your belly glowed a bloody red you amazed at the sudden up roar of water. The ground breaks beneath you seeing blue thorned vines break free hurting people on both sides. As the water over takes you, you sink a few feet grabbing at the hilt of the blade and yanking it from your wound. You swim up breaking the surface seeing the mass damage that goes on for while wondering how the news will explain a lake that at least goes for two miles. You get to dry land watching as others try to do the same, but you summoned your greenery drowning the ones who didn't bare orange shirts. You see some of their force retaliating for another blow. You summoned the energy within you cracking the ground beneath them watching them stumble into the extending waves falling into your trap. It was much easier on your subconscious to not see their lungs go out beneath the watery death trap then to take them with your own blade which was gone now. You finally grab at you wand it's time to shine. You use your vines to take you to the other side seeing your men taking this time to refocus and attend their wounds. You let out the few smells you know a black energy forming around each one giving a deadly blow.

" She's from Hogwarts!"

Your eyes were black now as you dive deeper into your magic. You summoned deimenters at a large expanse sending them into the world. Your father would be proud you seriously wanting to make this a last resort. You watch as they strip away their life force causing them to retreat fully along with Cronus who disappeared into the thin air along with the other titans baffeling the Gods for they didn't think it could be done. The war had only lasted two hours, but it took the lives for many. You notice your wound wasn't healing alarmed at how much blood you've lost. Your people cheered at this win you wishing it was the last. You raise your hand to the air joining in on her cheering. You watch the God's looking down at you from afar not realizing you could do something like this not understanding it was the child. This would cause some speculation. You almost feel Aphrodite's smirk knowing she'll mention Percy Jackson the next moment you see her. You take out your pack of cigarettes with your scarred wrists finally collapsing on the ground. You were exhausted and enjoyed not being around someone. You heard Chiron's hooves from a mile away too tired to respond to him looking down at you. He tells you he's proud of you, but you drown it out feeling a deep misery for killing. He notice you distant yourself deciding to take a seat beside you. He watches the water wondering how you did it, but he says nothing thinking you had went too deep. He glances at your wrist but still keeps quiet for your sake. He watches Percy glide over the water with a smile on his face earning himself one from Chiron as well. This will bring hope to the camp. He's sure of it. He just wishes he could bring a little hope to you as well.
