The Time-turner Chronicles

|1| Chapter 9 : I don't get stoned

And here's the battle between Percy and Medusa, please tell me your thoughts about the end result. I will do a time skip next chapter towards the Arch since there won't be much difference this time.

***

We went inside the gas station with ease and ignored the statues outside that were an obvious sign something was wrong. Annabeth only glanced at them with caution in her eyes, if I remember correctly she was the only one who thought something was wrong last time, besides Grover. 

In front of us stood Medusa, or in her disguise that only allowed us to see her well manicured hands, if I listened carefully I could even hear a soft hissing sound. 

Annabeth looked suspicious at her while Luke only looked hungry.

She spoke with a sweet voice that reminded me of Charmspeak, "children, it is too late to be out all alone. Where are your parents?"

Annabeth opened her mouth but I interrupted her, I pulled Luke and Annabeth closer to me, Luke gave me a questioning frown while Annabeth looked furious.

"What are you doing?" She hissed but I ignored her.

'Nyx could you please hide this from the gods?' I asked, the sky outside darkened to solid black.

Now even the Primordials wouldn't be able to see what's going on. No, seriously, Nyx told me she did the same for Gaia and Kronos when they were plotting to kill Ouranos, which made her complicit to the first murder ever, but she shrugged it o! and told me it was nothing.

'Are you ready Chaos?' I asked and she nodded excitedly.

'What's going on?' Hemera asked, confused, she wasn't there when I was planning our quest.

"Cut the Act Medusa!" I told her when me and my friends stood at a safe distance.

Luke scowled at me while Annabeth let out a gasp catching up with the information.

"Auntie M." she whispered.
"Wait this is Medusa?" Luke asked, confused.

"Well this certainly is a surprise." Medusa said and took off the black gown that covered her entirely.

Quickly I poured water out of the air and created a water wall between us, and froze it within a second. A solid wall of transparent ice separated us from one of the most dangerous monsters. We looked at Medusa in horror as we saw her real body and her eyes that almost burned through the ice.

Almost.

As I had hoped, the ice made us not look directly but indirectly at the monster.

Annabeth and Luke stepped back while I stepped forward closer to the icewall, trying not to be afraid while looking straight into her eyes.

True to be told Medusa must have been beautiful before she was turned into a monster.

"Son of Poseidon I presume?" She asked, glancing at me.

"Yes, My name is Percy Jackson." I answered without flinching.

"Percy what are you doing?" Luke whispered.

"Trust me," I told them, Luke nodded while Annabeth looked scepticaly me; she began to annoy me.

"Medusa, I'm here to o!er you a deal" I told her, looking straight into her eyes. She hissed angrily, "You're not in a position to make a deal Demigod!"

"Yes I am, I can walk away with my friends unharmed, or kill you and decapitate you with the ice." I told her, she looked sceptical at the ice part so I summoned FrostSilver to show that I was capable of using ice as a weapon, then I melted it, I didn't need to use it anyway.
