Meg Jackson,Doomsday

Chapter 7

After the lesson, Ophelia and Heaven walked up to me.
"Nice shot." Ophelia said.
"Thanks,I'm just glad I didn't hit anyone." I replied, not really looking at her. (No she is not 'special', just scared.)
Ophelia smiled a bit. Then Heaven started laughing like I had told the funniest joke ever. Like on the ground, in hysterics.
"Calm down girl, it wasn't that funny." Ophelia said.
"Sorry." Heaven said collecting herself.
"Soo, um, I thought you hated me." I said to the two of them.
"Well, I did. But I thought I was a bit hash on you, you know, like you're not as fast as a centor." Ophelia said.
She held out her hand.
"Friends?" She asked.
"Friends." I replied.
I also made friends with heaven by becoming friends with Ophelia.
"Ugh, I've got canoeing." Heaven said.
"What's wrong with canoeing?" I asked.
"Well as a child of Zeus, I don't like water that much." She replied.
"Ohhhh, right, I guess I forgot." I said.
"Well, I've got sword fighting, what 'bout you?" Ophelia asked me.
"Sword fighting." I said.
"Nice, we can walk together." Ophelia replied.
As we walked,she asked if Poseidon sent us anything. So I showed her Whirlpool. And she told me the that in Greek, it's called Charybdis, like the monster. Once there, I grabbed a different sword, for we weren't allowed to use the ones we get from our parents. I was then put in a pair with Luke- one of the Hermes' kids, who is really good at sword fighting.
"You may as well give up now." Luke said grinning and getting ready.
"I won't give up that easily." I said.
He lunged at me. I easily sidestepped his attack and drove the pommel of the sword into his head.
"Ook, ooook. But that was easy." He said regaining himself.
He spun around and swiped his sword around, towards my chest. I met his sword with mine, but he disarmed me and knocked me over. He tried to stab me, but I was faster. I had already grabbed my sword and was on my feet. I stuck out my foot, and he tripped over it.
"I saw it all coming." I said to him.
He stood up fast and brought his sword above his head. I met his sword with mine.
"If we weren't at a training session, I would think you were trying to kill me." I said to him as I move out from under the sword.
"Well, you gotta train like you mean it." He replied, yanking his sword out of the ground.
"Umm, ooook, I'll take that as your training to fight monsters." I said to him.
Oh I forgot to say, he said it like he meant to kill me. As he got his sword out of the ground, he swung it in an ark, hitting me in the stomach with the flat of his sword.
"Oh, I definitely meant it like that." He said.
Was that a hint of sarcasm? You'll find out. (Hey guys, there's some stuff that's not in the film, so I'll do an... one of these things**** for that, bye)
I stood up, slightly winded, but ready to show Luke up.
*Grace-(whispered)do we have an unspoken rule to not talk while watching these?*
*Others-(whispered)yes.*
I lifted my sword and deflected 5 attempts to kill me.
"Gosh darn, when did you get so good at this?!" Luke huffed.
"I don't know, maybe when I fought 2 hellhound on my first day? Then a week later fought another one, then being personally trained by you? Just a thought though." I replied.
Luke replied with an eye roll. And a hit with the flat of his sword.
"Maybe, juuust maybe." He said as the lunch horn blew.
I returned my sword to the rack, and Ophelia came over.
"Seems like Luke was giving you a hard time." She said.
"Yeah, tell me about it. He literally seemed like he was going to kill me. Anyway, how was it with your partner?" I replied.
"Horrible, he didn't know a basic disarm. Like, how stupid do you have to be to not know that?!" She said.
We started to talk about random things after that. Like, toast, and if aliens existed, what would their sole purpose be? Stuff like that. ANYWAY, we came to the topic of fatal flaws, dun DUN DUUUUUUN!
*Meg-dam, I am crazy.*
*Grace-you still are*
*Meg-(hits Grace)*
*grace-(in hurt voice) how dare you!*
"So, Meg, do you know your fatal flaw?" Ophelia asked.
"Umm, no?"
"Oh."
"What are they?"
"Basically they're things everyone, AKA demigods, have, and they're things like being to loyal, or mine, which is holding grudges. I would guess you don't know yours because you didn't know what they are. But you've gotta find out soon, because, well, they aren't fatal flaws for nothin'"
"Yeahhh, I don't know, as you predicted."
We walked in silence from then on. Well, until we got to the dining pavilion, just clearing that up.
                                                                                                       *     *     *
I walked into my cabin, to see Percy there. He looked scared, but mostly excited.
"Percy?" I asked.
"Meg, I got a quest." He said.
"When do you leave?"
"Now."
He walked towards me. I sprinted to him and almost tackled him in a hug.
"Please, please, don't die." I said, letting him go.
"I'll try." He said.
"No, promise me."
"Ok, I promise I won't die, now I really gotta go."
"Ok,I'll see you around." I said.
"Yeah, I'll see you around."
And that's when he left for his first ever quest.
