Percy Jackson and the story of my sister

Chapter 4- Gaea

I ran.

Luckily, that food stuff they had given me had healed me back to full strength and i was naturaly much faster than them. Id have to remember to thank Lylla, my best friend, for convincing me to join track team.

I ran past bushes and trees and all sorts of holes, but i could hear only three people chasing me. They were the three that had wanted me to stay. Annabeth and Piper were not one of them. Percy was at the lead, running full and strong, followed by Leo and Hazel.

I smiled. Since i had training in long distance running, they were starting ot fall back.

Then, a mass of feathers about three feet long and three feet wide came bursting through the trees. It took me a moment to realize it was a large hawk, but by then it was already upon me. It flew past, causing three deep scratch marks to appear on my cheeks and slightly catching my eye, making me blink away tears.

This slowed me down, but i don't give up easily, and kept on running. I dodged the hawk two more times, but the third time i was just a millisecond to slow and it struck my stomach. I don't think it actually meant to get my stomach judging by the surprised look in its eyes, but it had got me.

It wasn't a life threatening injury, but it was enough to steal me of breath and i stumbled a few steps before collapsing next to a high rocky cliff with rapids flowing in it.

Soon, Leo, Percy, Hazel, and Frank were crowded around me with worried faces.

"Frank! You didn't have to stab her stomach!" Percy scolded him, but his eyes stayed glued to me. "Its okay." He soothed "Annabeth will be here soon with some ambrosia."

I opened my mouth to speak but all that came out was a garbled noise and i had to lean over the cliffs edge to vomit blood.

The cliff.

I was done being captured. Piper and Jason called in the distance, but Percy's eyes locked with mine. As if sensing what i was about to do, he silently mouthed no, but i just shook my head and threw myself over the edge.

Daughter of Poseidon powers don't fail me now.

All i remember was three things.

Percy yelling.

Feeling free and wait less.

The thrashing rapids rushing towards me.

And then i blacked out.

                                                                                    *

When i woke up i was soaking wet, but still alive.

I was on the edge of the rapids,my back was to the hard scratchy rocks and the water pushed me up and down gently, causing the tinny rocks to embed themselves into the cuts on my back.

I looked down at myself and frowned. My green t shirt had the tiny rips in it from the Cyclopes incident, plus the three large rips from Frank the apparent hawk, which were red and bleeding.

I propped myself up on my elbows and looked around. I was on the opposite side of the cliff from where the outlines of eight people stood. I suddenly realized how huge the fall was, and how any normal person would be dead, at least i knew i was the daughter of Poseidon now.

I was about to stand up when i realized that as soon as they saw my form move, theyd be down here before i could even climb. A couple of steps away was a drainige type indent in the cliff that lead all the way to the top. It would be easy to climb, plus it was hidden from their view by the jagged cliffs. All i needed was a distraction.
