My Life as a Demigod

Chapter 17- I battle Leo and a Cyclops!

It seemed like we were walking for days. We were all tired, hungry, and we've just had enough of Tartarus. After the second day in Tartarus I found out the name of the boy. His name was Jake. Turns out he's Frank's biological brother. Even though Percy and Frank might not like it, I've grown a really close bond to Jake. I think he might have a serious crush on me. I know I have a serious crush on him. I think we have been in Tartarus for a week. Leo says "Anyone have any food?" I respond by saying "If anyone has food they would say something!" Then Leo says "Oh you are asking for it!" I say "Bring it on you idiot! He responds back with "You are so dead!" Then Leo and I stop walking and face each other like we are ready to kill each other. First it was just a simple battle with swords. Then Leo summons fire and he throws a fireball at me. I duck. Little did we know that it whizzed by Percy, Frank, and Jason. They stopped in their tracks and said "Girls and Jake. Go hide. We need to do something. They go hide. Percy, Frank, and Jason run back to Leo and I. They get to us just as Leo shoots his second fireball at me. It nearly burns my face. Luckily it missed me by an inch. Jason and Percy hold me back. Frank holds Leo back. Then a cyclops passes by us. The cyclops turns around and comes at us. Specifically me. I'm frozen in fear. Leo escapes from Frank's grip and stabs the cyclops in the eye. That was a mistake. The cyclops gets even more angry. Then the cyclops tries to destroy me. I realize that I have to fight this cyclops by myself. I picture the weak spot of the cyclops. I do this because for some reason I have this freakishly cool thing where I can find someone's weak spot by picturing it in my mind. It came in handy when I got into fights or when I played dodgeball. I'd use it on Leo when we get into battles but I don't want to kill him or send him to the hospital and I mean that. One time I was playing dodgeball. I threw a ball at someone's weak spot and the person got sent to the hospital. I got expelled. Then the people at the foster home beat me up for getting expelled. After I'm finished picturing the weak spot of the cyclops which was the stomach right above the belly button, I take my sword and jab the cyclops there. The cyclops crumbles to a pile of yellow dust. Percy says "You just killed a..." I say "I know. I'm frickin awesome for a 10 year old." Then Hazel, Annabeth, Piper, and Jake come out of their hiding spot. Hazel says "Piper found our exit. It's right beside the cave we were hiding in. I run to the exit. I say to Piper "Where's the exit? I don't see it." Piper says "We got into Tartarus by falling. We're getting out by climbing." I say "Awesome! I love rock climbing!" We start climbing the wall.
