Reincarnation - Percy Jackson Fanfic

7: The Battle

Annabeth’s PoV:

“Ok on the count of three, 1…2…3!” she shouts.

What we see inside makes us all gasp.

I thought that that Kronos’s army had been huge. I had known that Gaea was supposed to be extremely powerful; way more powerful than Kronos, but nothing could have ever prepared me for what I saw when we opened the door. The warehouse had deceived us in its size, and in fact, inside was a LOT bigger than it looked like. And inside there were monsters everywhere, and I mean EVERYWHERE!! They were all standing together in rows that seemed endless. They were crammed on catwalks above us, too. And in the very middle, right in the middle, there was a monster-free circle. The monsters outside were really tall dracaena, so we couldn’t see what was in the circle.

“Stand back, my fellow monsters, I would like to see my sacrifices,” said a deep voice. It was so deep, and old, as if the Earth itself was speaking, then I realized that it was. Behind the dracaena was a young woman, she looked like she was 25, but I couldn’t tell. Her hair was deep brown and literally looked like it was made of dirt. Her eyes sparkled the same color as her hair, and had grass-green flecks in them. Her dress looked like it was made of dirt and grass woven together.

“Hello, my little friends,” she said and grinned evilly at us.

“But, you-you’re-” Percy started.

“Not supposed to be awake, hmmm? Oh, yes the gods didn’t know that I was awake,” she said smiling even more.

“But, we were supposed to be your sacrifices and-” Gaea cut off Percy again.

“Yes, and you’ll still be my sacrifices after this. I do need a few sacrifices to begin my new era, right? I have given them specific orders not to kill but only to capture you, and injure,” she told us. Percy only managed to say, “Wha-?” before Gaea shouted to her troops, “ATTACK!!!” After that only my battle reflexes kept me alive all this while when all the monsters were attacking us. I saw all the monsters around me and I remembered what it had been like in Tartarus. I realized my mistake only too late, and I was pulled into another flashback. All I could remember before I blacked out was Percy’s terrified scream, “Annabeth!”
