Prisoner of Ice and Stone

Chapter 6

Percy's POV:

I was having a rather heated discussion with the kid and the guy from my first visit from the tower when suddenly the glass across the room exploded. The two across from me were mostly protected by the couch, but since I facing the window I was thrown over my seat and back into the wall. I felt something snap beneath me, but I didn't care. I rolled to my feet just as the kid and the guy started getting up shaking their heads. The kid slid into an easy fighting stance, but I recognized the figures before us. It was Sthenno and Euryale the two hideous sisters of Medusa. I tried to draw my pen only to find that the thing I heard snap happened to be one of my fingers. I grimaced in pain but pulled out my pen anyway and charged toward them summoning the water in the pipes around us.

Peter's POV:

We were knocked to the ground by the blast, but I rushed to my feet falling into a fighting stance as Mr. Stark began to summon his suit. Then I saw them two harmless middle aged ladies were advancing toward us from the broken glass and straight toward Percy, who had pulled out his pen again. The pen flickered sometimes a knife, sometimes a gun what the heck was that thing? Then the two ladies smiled and I swear the look was pure evil. Percy charged toward them the pen held in his hand. The two ladies smiled wider and slipped into fighting stances and one of them said.

"Face your doom Perseus Jackson, Medusa still hasn't reformed, but I'm sure she'll appreciate it when we bring your heart to her on a silver platter."

So they weren't harmless ladies. Nice to know. Then the other one spoke, holding out a strange silver tray.

"Cheese Whiz?"

Percy did not look amused, as his arm came arching down. Even though he was still about two feet from them, the first one let out a scream of pain as something sliced into her arm and for a moment she flickered and I could of sworn her hair transformed into a nest of snakes and her face into that of a monster. The other monster lady slashed her hand toward Percy and even though her hand passed inches away from him four slash marks suddenly appeared on his arm. He snarled and jumped back swinging his arm toward her in a blinding flash of movement. Suddenly the pipes around us burst and the two monster ladies were swept out of the broken window. They came back moments later somehow flying through the air.  But Percy just sent more water at them crushing them beneath the weight of several tons of water. They burst into dust just like the guys had when Thor had destroyed them. As Percy started to stand back up though something flew through the window and struck him in the head knocking him senseless.
