Sea Of Monsters And Love

Chapter Six

We hop in a roller coaster car that leads directly to the Golden Fleece. Percy starts the roller coaster. He quickly hops in the cart. The ride goes slowly down. It reminds me of the ride at Disney, It's A Small World After All. I just thought of an idea that is stupid.

"It's a small world after all," I start to sing. Soon everyone except Clarisse joins in.

"SHUT UP," Clarisse shouts. I smile at that. I love annoying her. The cart stops with a jolt. We step out on the platform made of rock. A cave is in one of the rock walls with a boulder by it. Lights hang everywhere. A loud growl shakes the rocks. I approach the entrance.

"Liz, that's not a good idea," Annabeth whispers. Grover jumps out and gives me a giant hug. He pulls away. I laugh at him. He is wearing a maid's dress, a giant fake eye strapped to his head, and a veil on his head. Clarisse takes out her Demigod-Approved- iPhone. She takes a picture of Grover.

"The camp is going to love this," she states. I laugh at that. It is pretty funny. Grover walked right into that one.

"That's not funny," he whines. "I had to do this so I didn't become dinner."

I still laugh. A growl comes out of the cave. Grover pulls us in and behind a rock. There is a giant Cyclops sitting at a table. His brown hair in dreadlocks. He has one giant brown eye. On his belt, the Golden Fleece is attached.

"Chamber Maid," he shouts. Grover runs forward.

"What is wrong?" he asks in a high pitched voice.

"I'm starving," the Cyclops complains. Grover walks to the stove and starts to boil water.

"Time has been bad," the Cyclops states. "I had to eat my flocks. I'm so hungry, I smell demigods, but I don't see any."

I climb to the highest rock and lay flat on my stomach. Clarisse gives me a thumbs up. I stand up.

"Hey you ugly," I shout. He turns and looks at me.

"Who are you?" he asks.

"Nobody," I reply. I grab a rock and throw it at his eye. He wails at the pain. Percy grabs the Fleece while I jump off the ledge. I land next to Grover.

"Hey," he shouts. He takes off the costume.

"You're a dude? That explains a lot," the Cyclops states. I don't want to know what he means by that. I dive in the other direction when he tries to hit us. The Fleece handed to Clarisse.

"Hi," Tyson says.

"Disgrace," the Cyclops shouts. I swing down grabbing Tyson and placing him next to Percy.

"Not the smartest idea," I tell him.

"This way," Annabeth shouts. Everyone follows be out of the cave. We push the boulder over the opening, trapping the Cyclops in there.

"Thank you. Now give me the Fleece," a familiar voice orders. I turn around to see it's Luke.

"Go rot in Tartus," I tell him. He shakes his head in disappointment. He takes a crossbow and shoots it. The arrow hits Tyson, who is right in front of Percy. Tyson falls off the edge. I try to catch him, but I fail. I fall to my knees. One of my friends died in front of me.

"Tyson," Percy shouts. Tears start to form. Luke is going to pay for this. A pair of arms grabs me and tried to lift me up. I don't want to leave. Finally they get me up. They tie my hands behind my back. I feel to weak to fight back. Luke grabs my arm and pulls me behind him. He leads us through a tunnel. We come above ground. The Sun has set. So Apollo won't be any help. Luke's gang ties my group to some poles to a roller coaster. Luke pulls me towards a casket with carvings all over it.
