The Sword and The Shield

Chapter 8

We all just looked at each other after that. "Well what are we waiting for??!!" I shouted we all looked around the whole house. There were 4 floors. The basement was a lady/man cave. You just push a button and all the girls/boys stuff just disappears and yours comes back. There was also a separate room with a HUGE weapon wall, and training mats. The next floor was the kitchen and living room. Then the boys bedrooms on the next floor, and us girls were on the next one. Then the rooftop was a garden. Calypso squealed and rushed to the shed. We all shrugged and go back into the elevator. Leo stayed with Calypso, and we went to check out the back yard.

It had a pool with slide, pool games, and diving boards. Percy's mouth dropped to the floor. "Close your mouth seaweed brain, you'll catch flys." I said and he instantly lifted me up bridle style, and ran towards the pool. "What? Percy let me down!!!!!" Oh but he didn't listen, he just jumped into the pool. I looked down.

Oh gods, oh gods, oh GODS!!!!! The pool- Ahhhhh! It was bottomless and we kept sinking. Percy realized what I was looking at, and said "Don't worry, I got this." He quickly shooed away a fish, wait a fish? Oh my gods this is a fresh water pool.

He made a bubble around us and he looked around. "What?" I asked "Ahh, there it is." He said. He was was holding what looked like car keys. "Dad told me about this in a note I found on the kitchen counter." He pressed the button that looked like two arrows pointing to each other. "Close" I thought, "it means close". And sure enough a glass top started coming out from the sides of the pool and cutting it off at about 6-8 feet. I sighed, but then he looked at me and smiled his mischievous smile of his. "Oh dear what now?" I asked knowing he is going to cause trouble.

He snapped his fingers.

We heard screaming.

We saw are friends floating in the pool.

And-

"Who is that??" I asked pointing to two other bodies, they seemed to be unconscious. Percy just looked at me, snapped his fingers again, and created bubbles for everyone else.

"PURSUES JACKSON!!!! I WILL KILL YOU!!!!" Uh oh a mad Piper is a BAD Piper. "Whoops?" He said innocently and shrugged. "Here I'll dry you guys off." "Thanks" I said. "No problem." Then I thought of something to get back at him. I leaned in to kiss him. His lips barely brushed mine and I flipped him. I dive out of the bubble and started swimming towards the surface. When I felt a tug. He was using his powers. "Just what I wanted" I thought. He pulled me back into the bubble. "Seriously that was the dumbest idea you have ever had!" He laughed. I pretended to act all like: ugh I'm so stupid why did I do that? He was at the bottom of the bubble laughing so hard. Not paying attention to what I'm doing.

Now! I flung myself out of the bubble silently, and I swam over to Jason. I whispered my plan, and he nodded in agreement we got every one a safe distance away from Percy who was STILL laughing. Oh my gods what is with this contagious laughter??? Jason snuck up behind percy and summoned lighting, zapping Percy in the process. He stopped laughing and turned around to see a Jason. "Now." I whispered to my friends. We all left before WE got zapped, or drowned. We all got up on land and sighed.

Then I realized the two kids were awake.

They saw the whole thing.
