The 13th Olympian

Thanatos! How dare you?!

I got so lost in thoughts I didn't notice the sun beaming. The water was shiny. I sat up groggily. Annabeth and Percy were still asleep. I looked around. Water was surrounding us from all sides. I zoomed in the distance, no direction in particular. There was one very tiny thing visible. Preferably it was land. But it seemed to be ages away. I was so fed up of being in water. I wanted to get on land as fast as possible. I don't like water very much. The depths are scary. Plus I don't prefer giving attention to only one power of mine for too long. That way I stay organized. It is all about justice, people.

I got up and gazed at my crew. Just don't wake up, I thought.

With one snap of my fingers the boat shot up in a projectile into the air. I clenched my teeth. Stay put, boat. Please stay put. I tried not to look below. We were about a million feet above sea. Not really. Yet the height was terrifying. At the speed of a hundred miles per hour, oh the horror. I wonder how you mortals travel in those air-fishies so calmly. Airplanes is it? Whatever.

The very tiny little point sized thing began to grow bigger and bigger in size. I tried to control the wind with all my might. Zeus's domain was a major drawback of mine. Yet I tried to slow down our speed. The wind got out of control. I imagined us crash landing, with Percy and Annabeth dying peacefully in sleep and me basically dying from the horror of losing the best heroes of Olympus. And all because of me. Shut up! I told myself. I tried once again to get a hold of the air. C'mon. Obey me! I tensed. Please for once. I'll owe you big time. I don't know why I said that. But the air seemed to accept the deal. I grabbed hold of it. But not so much. In one mega splash we hit the water about 50 feet away from the land. The jerk got me thrown right out of the boat and into the water. With a beautiful fountain surrounding our boat Percy and Annabeth got fully drenched in water. "Great," I muttered.

I swam back and forth, finding a way to climb back on. Percy gasped. "Whaaaaaa," he flailed. Annabeth saw me somewhat and tried to tackle me. But I yelled, "It's me!" For a second she stared at me completely poker faced. Then as if she just came to her senses she said, "Oh." She gave me a hand and pulled me up. I climbed up sheepishly. Yes I looked stupid.

"I thought you were some monster of a fish. Sorry," She said.

I pursed my lips and stared at her. I was offended.

Percy was in full battle position with riptide shining in the morning sunlight. "Where is it? Where's the monster?" He spoke half in sleep.

"There is no monster," I blurted. Before any one of them could question why they were drenched in water and why I was in the water, I said, "Anyway, land!" I gestured frantically towards the land which was only fifty feet away.

"Where are we exactly?" Annabeth asked.

"We'll find out," Percy replied.

We grabbed our supplies and walked away from the sea. I sighed of relief. I did not kill Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase. A smirk spread across my face, I walked with attitude. I wanted to dance but I decided against it. We found an outdoor café where we decided to have some breakfast. 'When you're a demigod you should eat proper meals to have enough energy,' said Annabeth when I refused to eat.

But eating bowlful of Ambrosia yet staying well integrated is naturally frowned upon, Annabeth. I thought.

Percy had a sandwich in his plate. He was about to chomp on it when an eagle came out of nowhere and grabbed the food out of his hands. "Hey!" Percy yelled. He stood up. The eagle did not fly away but kept flying in mid-air above us. A short curly haired girl came jumping towards us.
