The Assassins (#2)

Our fight with Thalia and Dr. Gottschalk

I made for Thalia, slashing my sword at her, cutting her on the cheek. The blood stained my sword, giving it a new "tattoo". She snarled and pounced on me, bringing up her sword, aiming for my chest. I sidestepped, and she stumbled, but rolled on the floor skillfully and got up, thrusting her sword in my face. I blocked the hit, and hit her sword away from her grasp, the sword skiing across the floor. In camp, I not only train with Lyte, but with Thalia too. So, I'm very familiar with her moves, even sometimes anticipating the moves she is going to make. A laser red shot caught my eye. I turned around, and saw Lyte's eyes burning like two bright fire torches, and saw Dr. Gottschalk sprawled on the floor, his coat, hair, all singed.

I didn't know she could do that, maybe it is one of her undiscovered powers. I thought. My focus returned back to Thalia.

She spat, and snapped, "Well....I'm only being nice to you, because I don't think that you really meant the hard way. But since you insist, then I'll give you the hard way." Her gold, cold evil eyes boiled with rage, and she shapeshifted into a fire-breathing dragon. She roared, her tail swinging around, smashing all the equipments in the room. She opened her mouth, and a ball of white hot fire began forming in the center of her mouth, getting bigger. I stood rooted to the ground, staring at the ball of fire growing.

"Percy! Roll aside!" She yelled. But I was too busy gawking at the ball of fire expanding in size, increasing in heat tp lay attention to her command. The ball of fire was just too beautiful to look away from. Just then, I felt someone whizzed past my ear and pushed me aside, and I fell flat to the floor. It was when the ball was hot and big enough to fire, but it didn't blast me to ashes. Lyte was the one who suffered, all because I didn't pay much attention to her words, and sacrificed herself just to protect me.

While Percy fought with Thalia, they didn't realize that Dr. Gottschalk walked into the lab and saw us fighting, and came in to fight with Jason and I. Turns out that he could inflict feelings to anyone. He locked eyes with me, and I suddenly felt fear building inside me. My worst fear, you may ask? Well....spiders. I shuddered, and fought to focus.

Stop it, Lyte! He is trying make you fear your worst fears, don't get distracted by it! I chided myself. I felt like I wanted to shoot lasers at him, and suddenly my vision went red, and warm. I realized that my eyes are lasers. I smirked at him, and blasted his clothes, sending him flying a few feet away from me and landed his face on the hard tarmac floor with a sickening crack.

Crash! Bang! I whipped around and saw Percy standing in front of Thalia the dragon, gawking at her mouth. I wonder what's so interesting about that brat's mouth. Her breath? Maybe. It smells like apples. So....maybe. Just kidding. Her breath reeks of rotten garbage. A ball of white hot fire was growing in her mouth.

"Percy! Roll aside!" I yelled, but he looked as if he was entranced by the fire building in her mouth. I sprinted towards him and pushed him aside, and at the same time, the fire aimed for me. I braced for the worst- to be burnt to ashes.
