The Blood of the Sea

I make a not so good first impression

This is how I imagine the girl looking like. happy reading! 

The Girl's POV

My eyes snapped open. I tried to sit up but I couldn't move. I looked and saw that my arms and legs were strapped to an infirmary table. "Whaaa?" I whispered to myself clenching and unclenching my fists.  Where am I? I thought. Then the memories came back to me. 

Percy, Mickey, Bernard, that blonde haired girl that must have knocked me out. All of it. Oh crap. They must have taken me. No. No. No. I'm not ready for this. 

I squeezed my eyes shut and slowed my quickening breath. Panicking would get me nowhere. Mogwai and I will just sneak out and-" My eyes snapped open and I looked around frantically. Oh no! Mogwai! There is no way he would have let them take me without a fight. What if Percy had....NO! I pushed those thoughts away. I will cross that bridge when I get there. Right now I had to escape. The bonds were made of rope. Rookies. I thought with a small smirk. I twisted my hands so that they faced the ceiling. And a familiar prickel shot up my arms. Soon I had two bronze knives, with a blue handle with familiar words on it, in my hands. I cut the ropes on my hands and quickly set to work on my feet. Then I heard footsteps and voices. 

I quietly jumped off the bed and hid behind the door entrance. Whoever walks through that door won't see me. A blonde boy with tan skin walked in along with a boy with black hair. At first I thought it was Percy, but the boy's skin was too pale and he looked shorter than him.

"I'm telling you something weird is going on." the dark haired boy said "There have been less monster attacks for the last two months, and the gods seem really antsy." 

They both stopped when they noticed the cut rope.

"Oh no." the dark haired boy said

"Oh no. is right." the blonde said and he ran his fingers through his hair. "We have to find her before she decides to save the monsters in the forest. Or worse she finds that wolf that attacked Piper."

I clenched my fists at the beginning of his sentence. But I went limp when he mentioned the wolf. I knew instantly that he was talking about Mogwai.

"I still can't believe that her charmspeak didn't work. I didn't even think that was possible."

Their backs were still turned to me. I could easily sneak out the door and escape, but I had to find out where Mogwai was and what they were doing to him. What happened next I totally blame on my impulsive actions.

I quietly close the door to the room and come out of the blind spot and say. "wow, a creature that can resit charm speak. Where can I find it?"

The two boys whipped around and the dark haired boy pulled out a dark iron sword. The blonde boy had his hand over his heart.

"Oh my gods don't do that!" he said. The other boy glared at me but I crossed my arms and leaned against the wall keeping eye contact with him. I kept my posture relaxed and confident and my face blank, just like I was trained. 

This seemed to take the black hair boy by surprise. He must not have a bunch of people feel comfortable around him. He did give of this ora of death and darkness. But he cleared the shock from his face and continued to glare at me as he asked, "Who are you?"

"Who are you?" I asked, looking between the two boys. 

"I asked first." the boy said hardening his glare 

"I'm not the one who brought you to an unfamiliar place and held you hostage on a table." I said back in a deathly calm voice. He must have noticed my tone because he tightened his hold on his sword and stalked towards me. I stayed on my wall and tilted my head slightly.

The blonde boy came between us with his arm out holding the dark hair boy back. "Calm down." he said, then he turned to me and smiled. "Sorry that wasn't my decision. I was out voted." he glared at the dark hair boy. "I'm Will this and this little ray of sunshine is my boyfriend, Nico."

I almost smiled when I found out they were dating and I almost told them my name. But I couldn't, I had to find Mogwai. That is all that mattered. So with my face blank I said, "Pleasure. Where is my dog?" 

Will sighed and looked like I just told him that he couldn't get his dream puppy. "Please just coraperate. Sit down and let us ask you a few questions and we will answer yours." he turned to Nico "Go get Chiron."

I flinched at the name, and Nico noticed. He eyed me suspiciously and asked, "What?"

"I'm at Camp Half Blood aren't I?" I asked, ignoring his question. The two boys exchanged looks. "Yes." Will finally said, "How did you know that?"

I turned away from them. My mind was racing. I can't stay here, they can't find out. Especially Percy. I shook my head. I have to get out of here.

I reached for the door knob but someone grabbed my wrist. I look and see that it is Nico.

"Let go of me." I said looking him dead in the eye. He only tightened his grip on my wrist and his sword.

"I don't want to hurt you." I said, "I just want my dog and I'll be out of here."

"I can't let that happen."

I sighed. So much for just walking out of here. I twisted my wrist toward his thumb forcing him to release me. I then punch him hard in the nose causing him the fall backwards. He held his nose as blood leaked out of it. Will grabbed both of my wrists from behind my back. I put my right leg behind me and behind his right leg and swept my leg forward causing him to fall backwards. He smashed his head on the medicine cabinet, knocking him out.

"Okay, that came out way more violent than I thought I would." I said and I reached to move him but I heard footsteps. Someone was coming. I went to the door and twisted the door knob but I looked back at the two boys before I left. Please. I prayed to the gods. Please let me leave here without any more injuries. I had a feeling that they were laughing at me saying, ha noob!

I shook my head and decided to head in the direction of the footsteps. If that direction was their way in, then it is my way out. I ran a few feet and came face to face with a tall latino boy with curly hair. He reminded me of an elf just, you know, latinoier. "Woah!" he said. We studied each other for a second, then he grinned. "You must be the one who gave Water Boy a run for his money."

"You must be one of the people that strapped me to a table."

His smile wavered, and he scratched the back of his neck awkwardly.

"Yeah sorry. That really wasn't my idea."

"So I keep getting told." I tried to move around him but he blocked me.

"The last time one of you tried to stop me it didn't go so well for them. I just want my dog and I'll be on my way." 

The boys smile left completely. His finger started to steam and I saw a few sparks fly off his fingertips.I felt my eyes widen.

"You're a son of Hephaestus, aren't you?" His eyes widened too.

"How did you..?" he looked at his hands and clenched his fist, extinguishing smoke and sparks. "Who are you?"

I rolled my eyes, "If I had a nickel for everytime someone asked me that." I muttered.

I tried again to walk past him and when he blocked me, I shifted my weight and turned and I ended up behind him. And then I sprinted out of the infirmary.

"Hey come back!" I heard the boy yell. But I kept sprinting towards a bunch of cabins without looking back. Then I heard a bunch of shouting and then the sound of a blaring alarm filled the air. So much sneaking out.
