The monsters kept coming. I turned to see Logan and Percy scrambling up the hill. They were slower now that only Logan was supporting him. Logan looked back. I gave him what I hoped was an encouraging smile. I tried to hide how invitation I was. At least the two of them would get into camp safe.
I looked at the advancing monsters. I gripped the sword.
I've never even touched a sword and now I think I can kill a few monsters with one.
Stupid
Very stupid
I took a deep breath. No turning back now.
The first monster attacked. I ducked under its axe and slashed at its foot. I missed. I dodged another strike.
I'd be so awesome at dodge ball after this.
Shut up. I thought. This is not the time!
Somehow I managed to slash at its hand. It disintegrated just like the one at school.
I tried dodging another one but the blade caught me in my arm. I screamed. I felt blood run down my arm. I ducked under its legs and cut behind its knee. He also disintegrated.
I could not keep this up for long. I could tell that the cut on my arm was deep. I didn't dare look at it. I'd probably freak out if I did. It's not like I can't look at blood. I just didn't want to freak myself out.
I started backing towards the top of the hill.
I kept my eyes on the monsters. I realized that there were more monsters now. There were only 3 or 4 before. Now there were like a bazillion. Not really. I could make out about 5 more. Not including the ones I killed. But I was sure there were more. I killed about 2 more. I looked down and noticed that I had a few more cuts.
Suddenly I heard a growl to my left. My head turned so fast that I pulled a muscle.
More monsters. Great. Cause the 4 that stood in front of me weren't enough.
I started moving slightly to the right. 2 monsters charged. I ducked and blocked and some how managed to not die.
I remembered Percy saying something about my ADHD helping me in a battle.
3 more left.
One roared so loud that I felt like my ears were going to fall off. I heard more growled and roars in the distance.
Not good. Not good at all.
I had to get out of here before more showed up.
I turned and ran as fast as I could. But I've never been a fast runner. You know that person that's like the easy target while playing tag? The one that everyone goes after when they're 'it'. Ya. That's me.
I looked back to see if they were following me. I was almost there. Less than 10 meters left. But there was no way I could out run them. I turned and slashed. Surprisingly catching one in the chest.
2 more.
I turned to run again but some how one of the monsters had gotten behind me. I backed away to the right. The monster walked towards me in no hurry.
It slashed and I blocked. I backed away faster. I realized this monster was no longer blocking my way to the hill. I walked backwards turning slowly slightly so that it didn't notice.
Finally, my back was to the camp.
Suddenly my heal caught on a tree root and I fell backwards, dropping the sword. The monster growled what I thought was a laugh.
It slashed and I pushed myself backwards. But not fast enough. The blade cut my forehead. The pain shot thorough my whole body. I let out a strangled scream.
The corners of my eyes started to turn black.
No. I said to myself. Not now.
I spotted the sword. I grabbed it and slashed at the monster. It disintegrated. My head hurt and the world seemed to be spinning. I pushed myself up. Which way was which? I couldn't tell left from right or up from down.
I started walking in the direction that was slopped upwards. If a monster came out, I was going to die.
I saw something move to my right. Wait was that my left? Everything was spinning. I kept bumping into trees and I wasn't sure I was going the right way.
The edges of my vision were black and making their way to the middle. I tried pushing them away but it was no use.
I could see a light in a wooden house thing. But it was so far away. And I didn't know which way it was. I kept going.
Then of coarse, me being me, I had to trip. I rolled down one side of the hill. I rolled and summer saluted. And I may have screamed...
I slowly came to a stop.
Pain.
Then, everything went black.
