Alex POV
"Dad....." I whispered.
He still held out his arms as if expecting me to run to him. I mean my father comes out of the blue, hasn't seen nor have I seen him in two years, and expects me to give him a hug.
No way José.
So I just sat there and said, "Who are you?"
Nico responded, " Al..its me. Your Dad, your flesh and blood."
I unsheathed my sword from my neck and pointed at him.
"I said who are YOU," I yelled.
"Alex I'm your father. Now put that sword down of yours. You need to be careful before we stab someone," Nico said calmly.
I stared hard at him and I could see a faint flash of gold cross over my father- wait this...this THINGS eyes.
"You are not my father," I stated coldly,
"He's dead and not coming back. So who the heck are you?"
The thing shook his head an erupted in laughter and when it spoke it wasn't HIS voice anymore.
This thing was materializing into a snake brown looking thing with a hair for snakes and tentacles for legs. It was dripping with green slime and his teeth was made from metal.
"Hahahaha, Alex di Angelo you have been marked down by the fates to receive doom for the centuries that has come and gone. You were a mistake. A selfless mistake at that. You have stolen what is to Kronos himself, his green aura of needless power. Without it he is slowly growing weak and dissipating from this world," he told me smirking, " I have come to take back what my master has lost and I am promised a great fortune in return. Now keep quiet while I tear you apart bit by bit."
That's when he lunged at me.
I rolled onto the floor barely dodging his attack. He's definitely fast.
Recollecting he turned around grunting. "You are going to pay for that you little runt."
He turned around and threw a slime ball at me and I dunked. I heard a sizzling sound and knew it was acid.
Running across the room I picked up a knife and threw it at his stomach but he just engulfed the thing like no big deal.
"Stupid boy. Don't you know we Pertelions fist on things made of bronze metal." he cooed.
I ran straight for him then and swung my sword across you shoulder making him yowl. I did a quick turn and jumped over his head. But he grabbed my leg I before I landed and slung me across the wall making items fall on top of me giving me a busted lip and I'm sure now on my face bruises and scratches from the glass.
I tried to get up but I felt a hard shove from the Pertelion as it ran to me and sent us both hurdling threw the door. He raked his claws down my shoulder as we went down and I tell you it hurt like hell.
Right now I was using my sword as a shield and turning my head from side to sides shoving the side of my sword into his of its mouth to no avail. I could also hear campers hollering and screaming for help and some racing to the scene in the background.
But then it all of a sudden it was over and the thing exploded into a pile a dust all over me and I got monster leftovers in my mouth. Yuck.
The camper who vaporized the thing went and kneeled by my side and tried to say something to me but I couldn't understand him before I passed out into the darkness.
