The Eyes of Medusa

Chapter 10

Grace's POV:

A loud roar vibrated against my body. Oh no!, was the only thought that came to mind. We have fought bloody corocotta, stymphalian birds, and a hydra. Why do we need to fight a.... ,then the creatures came to view, ...cyclopes. Charlie took the left rank where Sam to the right. Skyler moved forward a bit and held her ground. Golden Boy positioned himself in front of me because I haven't had training yet. I took Skyler's example and held my ground.
     A cyclops tumbled in front of us and let out a bloodthirsty war call. More Cyclopes answered his call in the distance. "What do we have here? Demigods! My favorite snack!", he said as he cracked his knuckles. I surprised myself and responded," Sorry but we have to decline your offer."
     You are such an idiot Grace!, I mentally slapped myself, Your going to get us all killed!
     Despite my pounding heart I charged forward, sword held high. This surprised my opponent and he stumbled back a bit. I plunged my sword deep into his exposed knee. The cyclops responded with a scream. What a wimp! I ripped my sword out of his knee and blood poured onto the forest floor.
I was just about to celebrate when a giant meaty hand grabbed me. As the cyclops squeezed me in his hand, I gasped for air. "This is what you get for cutting me! I will make your death very painful and slow!", the one eyed creature promised. I mind raced as black spots started to appear out of the corners of my eyes. I tried wiggling my hand a bit and was surprised that I could move it, but with limited movement.
     I flicked my wrist, plunging my sword deep into the creatures hand. He let out a cry in agony. I yanked my sword free and ran up his arm. As he tried to swat me off, I threw my knife. It landed with a satisfying squish! in his only good eye. He fell to the ground, throwing me off.
I suddenly felt a surge of energy run though my body. I stared at the cyclops and thoughts raced through my head, What did he do to you?
I looked up seeing a horrible sight in front of me. Through my tears I saw the body of the cyclops but it did not move. I walked slowly towards it, afraid of the truth. I lay my palm on the cyclops's head. It was solid rock. I felt a tear run down my cheek. I have killed it. It landed on my stone body and his body glowed a bright white light.
The light started to dim, reveling a extraordinary site. A small transparent child replaces the body of the cyclops. I sprinted towards the clear body. I touched his forehead and his eyes opened. "Thank you miss for saving me for the curse!", he said slowly tasting his words," I knew the gift of the eyes would finally be used to save us one day!" Then he got up and flew into the ground.
I turned around to see the 4 demigods staring at me. Even Skyler's mouth was opened. I stared to walk towards them but me tiredness set in. I fell on the ground, my world spinning. The last thing I saw was Golden Boy running towards me. Then everything went black.

Author's Note:

Grace and Hannah are not simply descendants of Poseidon. It is deeper than that. *laughs wickedly*

Sorry I had to get that out there! The eyes have finally been mentioned! *deep breath*
