The Sons of Poseidon

Chater 5

(Aurora's POV)

I was on the defense with Percy when Annabeth and Jace got to play offense. Ugh. I hate playing defense. I turned around because I heard a noise in the bush. I stayed quiet because if they're watching they're going to try and jump me... Probably.

"Help!" I hear someone crying. I hear swords crashing together. I run to help. When I get there, I see a fake phone screaming "Help! Help!" On repeat. Then before I know it Clarisse jumps out of the bushes, grabs my arms, takes away my sword and ties me too the nearest tree. "Have fun girly!" She laughs then gags me so I can't scream or yell for help.

I was stuck. I couldn't move, the ropes were bound tightly around me. I hear rustling in the bushes. Well great, more people who probably want to kill me. Then out of the bushes came the Jace look alike Percy. Percy asked "Who'd you piss off to get yourself here?" Then he laughed.

I tried to say "Just untie me already!" But it cam out more of a "juhhh-mhmuh-owedy!" Percy laughed again. Finally he pulled out a sword from the as armoury. He easily cut the ropes and ungagged me. I was so glad that someone had actually found me I gave him a hug and then without a word I ran off.

Oh gods how ride must he think I am? He must think I'm a inconsiderate little princess.

I looked back to see a very confused Percy. The WHAM! I slammed into a tree? Nope, that's Jace. Great the other one of the Jacksons. He looked at me and smirked.

"Ugh boys!" And I stormed off.

(Percy's POV)

What the hell Aurora? I help untie you and I don't even get a 'thank you' or even an acknowledgement. I have to admit though she was a fast runner.

I walk back to the clearing and look for Jace. I didn't see him but the rest of the campers are there. I figured the game was over because 1) everyone was out except Jace and Aurora who ran the wrong way. 2) Annabeth was waving the red flag like a trophy.

Jace came out of the woods laughing.

"Aurora?" I asked. He nodded and continued to laugh.

"Everyone please return to your cabins." Chiron announced.

I touched my pillow and instantly fell asleep.

~(next morning)~

Jace and I went to the Big House to grab bags to put the things we need inside. When we got there Chiron asked if he could talk to me privately. "Percy, your father asked me to give you this when you came to Camp. He knew you would come. Your brother has the twin blade. This is yours now."

A pen. A pen has a blade? Well thanks dad I really appreciate the pen. It is perfect for the quest. I can sign the monsters before Jace kills them with a real blade. Chiron must have seen my face and said "Press the button, but be careful."

I listened to Chiron. I pressed the button thinking 'Wow a pen! That's really cool!' but almost immediately after I pressed the button, a perfectly balanced shiny celestial bronze sword extended from the pen. How does it fit in there? I almost asked, but then I realised.

How smart would that make me look?

I decided it wouldn't make me very smart. I just assumed that it was some sort of magical godly object. Mental reminder: Ask Jace about that later.

"What if I loose it?" I asked.

"It reappears in your pocket
in up to a minute." Jace answered.

Annabeth walked in and said "C'mon guys wrap it up." Gods those grey eyes intimidated me. Honestly she scared me a little. Don't tell her that of course.

"Good luck then young heroes." Chiron said as he clip-cloped away. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to call that? Trotted maybe?

As we were getting in the car, I saw someone glaring at us. I'm not sure who it was. Or of he was even there. He looked almost like... Mist? I dispelled the thought. Once we were in the car I noticed something... We didn't know where we were going. I asked them. Aurora said that we would start in New York. Hey maybe I could visit... Mom.

We got out of the car at the empire state building. We were supposed to go to a school? Right away I was hating this quest. Maybe we didn't actually have to go in.

Nope. Apparently there were two demigods there that could help us on our quest.

We drive to the school. Great, another school that I don't even go to that I can get expelled from. We walked in the front door and checked in with the main office as visitors. Grover said he'd meet us here because he had some weird vegetable shopping? I never know with him anymore.

Annabeth (A.K.A crazy person who actually enjoys school) gets us past the office people/workers/demonic creatures, and motioned for us to sit at the bench. I got bored after a little, so I decided to teach my dear same age brother, how to play the majestic game of rock, paper, scissors.

I won 95% of the games by the way. Okay maybe 90% of them were by default but still, it counts. We played silently until that Annabeth girl scolded us silently. How on earth is she so good at silently scolding people? I wonder.

"Mr and Mr Jackson please." Said who I assumed is the principal of the school. "May I please see you two in my office?" He asked, politely motioning to his office.

A/N: Okay so tbh this is like the first time I edited this story again in a long time, so forgive me. I will try to update again soon, but I have another story that I'm writing that I'm really excited about. Anyways sorry for the wait. Bye now.
