Percy Jackson: The New Hero

Chapter 3

I looked out the window at the dark forests that surrounded us now. I could've sworn that I saw something move from the corner of my eye. But when I looked over, there was nothing there. I sighed. I was just imagining things. Suddenly something shot out of the forest and Percy pulled the steering wheel to the right. The car swerved and almost dodged the monster. Almost. It hit the front seat and ran back into the woods. I hit my head on the window but I wasn't hurt. Logan had hit his face on the seat in in front of him. He lip was swollen and bleeding and there was a bruise forming on his head.

"Get out of the car!" Percy yelled.

I opened the door and ran around. Logan jumped out and opened Percy's door. The wind shield was completely dented and broken.

"My foot is stuck!" He said trying to pull it out.

I went and stood beside Logan and tried to help free him.

"Percy lean towards the door." I said my mind thinking frantically.

He looked at me with an expression that said 'are you crazy!' But I gave him the look. He did as I said.

"You guys have to go! They will be back soon!" He said.

"No way! Not without you." Logan replied without hesitation.

"Ya. You saved us. Now we're going to save you." I chimed in. We were not leaving no matter what.

We almost had his foot unstuck when it slipped and turned the wrong way. Percy let out a yelp.

"MY LEG!!!" He said clutching it. Luckily his foot wasn't trapped any more so we helped him out.

Logan and I supported him from either side and tried to walk as fast as possible. According to Percy the monsters would be back at any second.

"Up that hill." Percy said.

We were about half way up when I heard a roar behind us. I turned to see 3 monsters. Two that looked like huge, scary dogs and one tall human like monster that had one eye. I think they are called Cyclopes.

I realized that there was no way we could out run them.

"We only have to get past the big oak tree. The monsters can't pass it." Percy said through gridded teeth.

There was no way we would make it. And Percy was in no shape to fight.

"Percy. Give me your sword."

His eyes widened when he realized what I was thinking,"No way. No. No. No."

"Percy! It's the only way!" I said," if they catch up we'll all die."

"But if you go you'll die."

"I'll be fine." I tried to hide my uncertainty,"I'll just hold them off than come right up. It's the only way." Percy still wasn't convinced

"Look! They're already gaining! Percy hand it over!" I said sternly.

Percy started to argue,"But-"

I cut him off," I'll go with the sword or without. I can always find a long stick to use."

"She's not kidding. She always gets what she wants." Logan spoke up. He was speaking with experience. We were in the same class for 5 years and we had been assigned group projects to work on.

"As soon as we get close to the top, you come right away. Stay with your back to the top so there will be nothing blocking you." He reluctantly uncapped his pen which grew into a sword. I took it from him and smiled reassuringly.

"Go. I'll meet you at the top." With that I turned and walked down the hill towards the monsters that wanted to kill me.

I was crazy. Yup. Defiantly crazy.
