The Lost Pearl #Wattys2016

Chapter 34

Nico
"What do you mean you lost her!" I pushed Percy back.
"I didn't lose her, she made her decision and left."
"Where!!!" I yelled.
"I don't know!"

I paced around full of rage and wanted to sock Percy and Jason in the face. My eyes stung and I try to walk it off.

The underworld child will open her eyes, the purple color so fierce and strange as the claim. Bad luck has come your way, bind now broken for a new decade. Darkness and eerie red glow set to find the replacement but not on her own. Begin now or it might be too late. Shifter is a new but old existent. Don't trust the titan.

The prophecy made no sense of where I could find her.

"This is ridiculous! Find her! Think!!!" I grabbed both by the shirt.
A boy younger than any of us three approached us with Will.
He had dusty blonde hair with Hazel eyes.

"Who is this?" I questioned.
"Jonathan." He said extending his hand.

I looked at him and his hand disgusted.

"Nico." Will warned.
"Nico." I say unhappily shaking his hand.
"Am sorry about Stardue. I tried to help but she made her choice."
"WELL YOU GUYS DIDN'T TRY HARD ENOUGH!" I stormed off.

It was getting late as the sun set so I decided to sleep.
I put on a clean black tee and went to bed.

                       ************

I awoke startled to a sound in the cabin. Last time I checked I was the only one who slept here. I reached for my stygian sword.

"Who's there?" I called

A shadow drifted across the room quickly.

"Come out!" I yelled.
"Sure." A raspy voice called behind me.
