The New Demigod At Camp Half Blood

You're Going Down

...... Celeste's POV......
It's a weird and overwhelming feeling sharing your body with someone. I see through eyes that are not entirely my own and everything seems to be moving slower. Maybe that's due to technical fact that my mortal mind can't handle everything in Gaea's.

One moment I was standing over Percy, trying to figure out a way to get the others out then a blinding flash of white and I found myself being pushed into the back of my head.

"No one is leaving. Python kill them all!"

It's funny, I hear myself say it and feel my voice in my throat, but it's like I am underwater paying attention to what's above me.

I start to hear a hissing and I panic. I need to get them out of this cavern while I can. I feel Gaea thinking against my thoughts and not really hearing me. I wall my thoughts in and gather my strength. I am going to need it in order to be the one in charge of my body.

I feel myself move and throw myself at Annabeth. I start to panic when Annabeth starts to loose.

I start to slide into my mind slowly, and wrap around Gaea's subconscious. I prepaire to pull her back as we fight.

Suddenly I find myself on top of Annabeth, prepared to drive the dagger into her heart. I wrestle for control of my arms and when I do, I use the momentum of the swing already started to drive the dagger into my stomach.

Annabeth is shocked and she stares up at me in horror. I feel Gaea's shock to and use that to push her into the back of my mind and keep her there.

I pull the dagger out of my stomach and use the earth to keep me from falling over. I lift Annabeth up and she gapes at me.

I turn to the others. Will has set Percy on the ground and started twords me with Pollux on his heels. Nico is staring at me and Percy in confusion, probably sending that Percy is not dead and I am close.

I look to Python who is staring at me quizzically. I take a deep breath and start to channel Gaea's voice, careful not to let to much of her slip.

"Python." I clear my throat and try again, "Python. Go by the entrance."

I watch as Percy's hand twitches by his pocket. I channel the earth to him, trying to keep Python from detecting his beating heart.

As Python makes his way there, I turn to the others, "Who will be the next sacrifice?"

Annabeth suddenly turns murderous, and python gives a warning hiss. "I hope you fall into Ta-"

Python let's out a scream, shockingly humanlike and we all turn to look. Just as I had hoped Python had moved close enough to Percy for him to deal a devastating blow, sadly it was just short of killing him.

Python lashes out at Percy and he dodges rolling to the side. Annabeth let's out a sight of relief before glaring at me, "I can't believe you did that."

I hope to apologise when Python launches himself at her. I could never make it in time so I tapped into Gaea's power and caused a chunk of rock to fall on him to give Annabeth enough time to get out of the way.

Fool, you swore to do what I wanted! Gaea rages inside me, wrestling for control.

I smirk, "And I have. I stabbed Percy, hit someone of my choosing with a rock, and stabbed someone besides Percy. Everything you wanted."

Gaea rages and tries to talk, to get me to do something else but I suppress her voice and summon her power. With a yellow, I start to weaken the cave.

Python hisses and tries to lunge at me, but Pollux and Annabeth are two he can't turn his back on. Will provides support, firing a slowly dwindling supply of arrows. Percy and Nico stand by, ready to jump in and help or attack Gaea. And Eliana stands right behind me.

"I will give you time. I have no clue how much longer I can hold control. Please, you need to get out of here. The cave is coming down."

Nico nods and Percy places a hand on my shoulder. "We will, but you have to get out too."

"Yeah sure. Demigods before possessed." I walk to the middle of the circle and I feel Gaea get stronger. I struggle to keep her down.

"Python!" I scream and a Sonic wave makes him fly back into the wall, debris falling everywhere.

The others run behind me to the exit. Percy has Eliana by the hand but she is kicking and screaming.

"Celeste! No let me-Celeste!" She manages to get out of Percy's grip and slams into me, her little arms squeezing me. "Please, I don't want to be away from you."

I purse my lips and kneel down in front of Eli, "You will never be, I am always with you just as you are always with me." I hand her the knife, "This is yours. You take it and be brave. I love you Eli."

I squeeze her tight one more time, "You are the best little sister ever." I look over her shoulder and nod to Nico.

Before Celeste realizes what happened, Nico has Shadow traveled them both to safety. I searched for the others and find them far enough up the cave. They all will be fine.

Python screams and tries to get to the entrance, but I heave and a giant chunk of rock falls in the way.

"We're all traped here now."  I clap and send a Sonic wave at him to push him back.

Gaea fights for control, trying to use her rage to get out. Python seems to pick up on her rage.

They both attack me at the same time, and we fall into a dance. I dodge Python and attack Gaea. But I slip up and Python throws me against the wall.

My head collides with a sickening crack and everything becomes blurry. I use the last of my strength to bring a chunk of rock down on Python.

The world starts to fade and I smile. "Have at it Gaea, I can't move. You can't leave. Kill me kill you."

I close my eyes and lay there in the darkness. I feel something on my shoulder and a tugging sensation. Suddenly it's bright.
