Percy Jackson x Male Reader The Sea of Monsters

It's All McDonald's Fault

Y/n's POV

"Thermos!" Percy screamed as we hurtled toward the water.

"What?" Annabeth and I said. We both looked back at him confused, as we gripped the edge of the boat for dear life.

Regardless of us Tyson seemed to understand. As he managed to open Percy's duffel bag and take out Hermes's magical thermos without losing his grip on it or the boat.

Arrows and javelins whistled past us.

Percy grabbed the thermos and prepared to open it. "Hang on!"

"We are hanging on!" Annabeth yelled.

"Tighter!"

Percy hooked his feet under the boat's inflatable bench, and as Tyson grabbed him, Annabeth, and me by the backs of our shirts. Percy gave the thermos cap a quarter turn.

Instantly, a white sheet of wind jetted out of the thermos and propelled us sideways, turning our downward plummet into a forty-five-degree crash landing.

The wind seemed to laugh as it shot from the thermos, like it was glad to be free. As we hit the ocean, we bumped once, twice, skipping like a stone, then we were whizzing along like a speed boat, salt spray in our faces, and nothing but sea ahead.

I heard a wail of outrage from the ship behind us, but we were already out of weapon range. The Princess Andromeda faded to the size of a white toy boat in the distance, and then it was gone.

We raced over the sea, and slowed a bit, allowing us to catch at least a moments rest. But as we began to discuss our next move, I suddenly realized where I was.

My body shook as I took one nervous gaze out into the mirky dark depths. Only for me to leap back to the center of the boat and held Percy for dear life.

"Uh dude you okay?" he asked, as my grip on his arm cut off blood flow to his hand.

I shook my head, and tried to steady my breathing. "No very not okay! Hate water, hate the ocean."

I slowly let go of his arm as he responded. "What?"

I let out a deep breath, "Almost drowned in a lake as a kid, hated deep water ever since."

Percy smirked, "Uh, I hate to be the one to tell you this, but deep water's like the only place we're going to be on this quest."

I gritted my teeth as I tried to block out the image of the water around us. "Really not helping Percy." I sighed. "I'll manage, just give me a second to adjust."

While I took some time to calm down. Annabeth and Percy tried to send an Iris-message to Chiron. We figured it was important we let somebody know what Luke was doing, and we didn't know who else to trust.

The wind from the thermos stirred up a nice sea spray that made a rainbow in the sunlight-perfect for an Iris message-but our connection was still poor. When Annabeth threw a gold drachma into the mist and prayed for the rainbow goddess to show us Chiron, his face appeared all right, but there was some kind of weird strobe light flashing in the background and rock music blaring, like he was at a dance club.

We told him about sneaking away from camp, and Luke and the Princess Andromeda and the golden box for Kronos's remains, but between the noise on his end and the rushing wind and water no our end. I'm not sure how much he heard.

"Percy," Chiron yelled, "you have to watch out for-"

His voice was drowned out by loud shouting behind him-a bunch of voices whooping it up like Navajo warriors.

"What?" Percy yelled.

"Curse my relatives!" Chiron ducked as a plate flew over his head and shattered somewhere out of sigh. "Annabeth, Y/n you shouldn't have let Percy leave camp! But if you do get the Fleece-"
