PJO & MCGoA fanfiction- Unexpected Connections

21

My vision quickly went back to normal. I wasn't myself though. I mean, I was myself, but I wasn't in control of myself. I could see through my eyes but I couldn't control my arms or legs. I was a spectator of my own body.

~So stubborn, your demigods. Always want to keep each other safe.~ I stood up and grabbed my sword and spun it in a circle. ~Oh well~

I ran up to Percy as fast as I could and sliced at Percy's stomach. I guess he wasn't expecting me to do any harm because he didn't parry my attack. That made me mad. He thinks I wouldn't be able to hurt him. But, I sliced all across his stomach. (Thank god it wasn't very deep. I wouldn't be able to stand the guilt for the rest of my life.)

I skidded to a stop and looked at Percy. He looked angry and worried. I knew he didn't want me to be like this. I didn't want to either.

I should mention. When I say that I did something, that means the weird spirit possessing my body did that. I'm still a spectator.

I grinned and flipped my sword like the Jedi people did in Star Wars. I slowly walked up to Percy who had his sword in his hands. I could hear all the monsters cheering and I could hear all my friends screaming at me to stop. That almost made me cry. I am a monster. In their eyes, I am a monster. What will they think of me when I'm finished?

What will Leo think of me?

I ran up to Percy once more and sliced at him again but he deflected it.

"Sam. Stop. This isn't you. Try and get back in control. Focus!" He yelled at me.

I focused on controlling myself. I felt myself slow down and I felt the slightest bit of control.

I heard the voice laugh out loud. "She's too weak to take control. Just me and you, aqua boy."

Uh oh. Percy hates being called that. Percy charged at me and tried to slice at my legs. I jumped over his attack and kicked him in the stomach. That, surprisingly, sent him flying halfway across the stadium until he smacked into a pillar. I laughed and ran towards him. I jumped and went in for a final blow. But Percy knew that move. Everyone does. He kicked my chest and I flew back a few feet before sliding back into my original fighting position. We circled each other.

"I know you're in there Sam. You're stronger than you know." Percy said.

"Pitiful." The voice hissed.

I felt exhausted from trying to take control but I knew I had to keep trying. I concentrated on doing small things. I thought about picking up a book, I thought about pulling Percy up off the ground after I knocked him over, I thought about walking down a trail with Leo. I felt in control for a minute. I bent over and held my head. I knew the possessing thing was getting weaker. I felt a searing pain in my chest then I looked at my hands. I opened and closed them. I was in control. I took my sword and threw it across the stadium.

"Percy I can still feel the spirit in me. Take everyone and get out of here. Hurry!" I yelled at Percy.

"I'm not leaving you here! Who do you think I am!"

"I know you want to keep me safe but that thing is still in me. It's gonna take over in just a min-" I fell on my hand and knees again.
