Waves - A Percy Jackson Tale

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO: DON'T TRY TO SEDUCE ME!

Percy POV:

"Very good, demigod scum, but not quite. There is no name for what I am, but those Eidolons that you and your friends killed were my distant cousins. You see, the difference is, when I possess someone, they can see exactly what is going on. Your precious girlfriend will watch with horror as I kill - " That thing gasped, and smiled. "No – as she kills everyone that she cares about, starting with you." It struck me again, the blade of her dagger drawing blood as it whipped across my cheek when I couldn't duck in time.

"Annabeth, fight it!" I begged. The thing hit me again, but I couldn't bring myself to hurt Annabeth. All I could to was push her - it - away, block its attacks. Our one-sided fight seemed to last hours, but I'm sure it was only a few seconds. The light coming in from the door was suddenly blocked, and we both stopped and turned to see Mrs. O'Leary in the doorway, a person on her back.

Nico di Angelo.

The perfect person to have as a fighting buddy when you're fighting spirits. Which I was.

"Good job, Mrs. O'Leary!" I yelled. Nico slid off her back, and Annabeth lost interest in the new people, so she went back to fighting me

"Percy, what's going on?" he yelled, "Did you and Annabeth have an argument? Because I'm not entirely sure I'm the right person to help with that."

"No-" I grunted, "She's possessed - eidolon-like thing," I managed to say before it had me backed against the wall. Nico seemed to realized what it was when she turned around and smiled seductively at him.

"Nico, this isn't your business. Run along home, now, with the rest of the little kids." I started laughing. I could tell that everything in that sentence was the wrong thing to say.

"A," he began angrily, walking towards her, brandishing his sword. "I'm fucking GAY! I have a boyfriend. And Annabeth knows it, bitch, so don't try your seductive eyes thing. B. I was born in 1934. Now get out of my friend's body or I will banish you." Annabeth looked surprised at his reaction, but recovered quickly.

"I don't know what you're talking about, di Angelo. I really am your friend." Nico didn't believe it. He continued confronting the thing possessing my girlfriend while I finished cutting through the chains holding Ruby to the wall. I carried her over to Mrs. O'Leary and told her to bring the girl to camp and then come back for us. Nico had Annabeth in a corner now. She was getting more and more flustered.

"For the last time bitch, stop trying to seduce me! I don't like girls!"

That was when he snapped. He raised his sword and plunged it into her heart.
