8: Oh yeah! That...

"Why?! Why can't you do something cool?! Like blow up?!" I yell at the wall. It's been nine days.

Nine.

I have officially gone mental. I regret sending Percy and Annabeth away, but I had to. They, knowing what I'm going through, will get them killed and make me even more crazy.

I have stayed in my room usually unless Luke needed me which surprisingly has rarely happened these last week. If I'm not in my room, I'm at the stables.

I take care of a pitch black pegasus named Blackjack, which is Luke's 'steed', and his sibling Sabrina. She was a pure white pegasus and they remind me of Percy and I's swords. Which remind me of Percy and I go crazy again; however, I still take care of them.

I climb down the steps to the stables.

"Yo Amanda!" I hear Blackjack call. I almost scream. I look down at my bracelets, lights still blinking. I know they are still working, but how can I hear Blackjack? I continue to walk slowly to Blackjack's stall, not sure if this was a trick.

"Hey Blackjack. Uh... Do you know why I can hear you in my head?" I ask.

"Seriously Amanda?" Sabrina asked, appearing in the stall next to her brother. "You should have figured this out even if you don't have your gifts."

"Figure out what?"

"Luke stopped your gifts, not your heritage!" Sabrina... neighed?

Everything clicked. No wonder I knew our coordinates! I still have my fathers power! I can talk to horses(or pegasi for this matter).

"Gods of Olympus! Your a genius, Sabrina!" I fed her a sugar cube.

"Anything for the strong daring big brother?" Blackjack asked. I laughed and fed him one too. For the first time in over a year, I have hope. Even if I have no way to get of this dekára boat. Pardon my language.

Suddenly, one of Luke's 'friends' came down. He started getting Blackjack ready. Why? I decided to go upstairs to see what was happening. What I saw either made me want to scream or run.

Luke was fighting my brother.

Percy was losing. Badly. His leg was bloody and he looked tired. Right when I knew Luke was going to finish him off, the Party Ponies invaded.

Hundreds of centaurs, including Chiron, galloped onto the deck and crashed the fight, which was fine with me. While Chiron and his family(?) were helping Percy by destroying this ship, I ran back to Sabrina.

"If I release you, you need to stay with me until I say, right?" I ask the pegasus. I have no doubt in my mind that I will leave this boat today.

"Yes." She agreed.

I take her back to where the fight was and try to find Blackjack. He was panicking. After I calmed him down, I saw a dracanae up to me.

She had a club in her hand and she was continuously smacking it against her hand.

I back away slowly, as if any sudden movements would kill me. Well, it might. My fingertips felt the coldness of the railing and I could see the forcefield igniting light due to the colors illuminating onto her face. I was defense less and weak. I did the best I thought of.

I whimpered.

SMACK! The dracanae went flying back. I looked to see who saved me when I saw Chiron coming up to me, with Anabeth and Grover on his back. I gulp down the bike rising because I know I'll be punished by him soon.
