>IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ THIS AUTHOR'S NOTE<

It recently came to my attention that someone is stealing my works and and posting them on TeenFic, which I had never heard of before I googled my own username (for kicks and giggles) and found out.

So I have readers on TeenFic now! Hello, readers on TeenFic. How are you all doing? You might not see this, but it's worth a shot. I hope you are aware that this is stolen and the original is on Wattpad and Wattpad only. If you are not aware and you do not approve, congratulations, you are a decent person. Wattpad is free! If you do know that this is stolen and you are completely fine with it, good for you! Again, Wattpad is free. Come read it for real. Luckily, I am writing this book for the fun of it, so I am nothing more than quite annoyed and a little flattered that someone thought my work was good enough to steal.

Goodbye, readers on TeenFic! Now I'm going to go back to people who are reading this in its perfect original form that is not stolen.

Hello, readers on Wattpad! I don't really think I can do anything about this problem so I am going to carry on with the story!

(...I'm WORKING ON IT, okay? I've just also been getting kidnapped by mooshrooms in roleplay. I'm a busy person! /j)

"WAIT!" Percy yelled as Grover cut the last line.

Bdubs had noticed it at the same moment the son of Posideon did: a small animal jumping from plank to plank along the bridge, desperately trying to get to the edge before the bridge fell.

And then it did.

Bdubs could do nothing but watch as his friend tumbled into the ravine.

"REN!" he screamed, rushing to the edge, but the guinea pig was nowhere in sight.

Grover looked horrified. "I killed a guinea pig..." he gasped.

And for about two seconds, they were all silent, in shock at the accident that had killed Rendog.

"HAHA!" Polyphemus yelled. "FAILED! NOBODY FAILED!"

Bdubs backed away from the edge of the cliff, not because he wanted to but because he was an easy target there.

Percy uncapped Riptide.

Without saying a word, he lunged and stabbed Polyphemus in the stomach. The monster doubled over and made an "Uhhhhhnnnnnnngh" sound. Percy took the opportunity and before Bdubs really registered what was happening, the Cyclops was flat on his back with tears in his half-blood eye.

"Only trying to protect my sheepies!" He moaned.

"Percy, kill him please," Clarisse said.

"Only trying to protect my friends," Percy growled.

Holy cow, this guy was scary when he wanted to be.

"We just want the Fleece," Percy said. "Then we'll be on our way."

"Take it!" Polyphemus wailed. "Take it and leave me in sadness!"

"You idiot," Clarisse said.

Bdubs wasn't sure whether she was talking to Percy or Polyphemus but he agreed with her.

Percy stepped away from the Cyclops.

"OH MY GOSH JUST KILL HIM ALREADY!" Bdubs yelled.

"He's a son of Posideon, just like me," Percy said.

"Percy, this isn't Tyson," Clarisse said.

But Percy still turned away from the Cyclops. "Let's just get the Fleece and get out of here," he said. "Before we lose anyone else."

Bdubs looked at the ground, then at the Fleece.

And suddenly, Grover yelped and pointed to something behind Percy. The son of Posideon turned back to see Polyphemus, looking fresh as a daisy and ready for murder. He had horrible taste in clothes, but he was a good actor.

"Haha!" the monster laughed. "Steal my Fleece? I eat you first."

And as he opened his mouth to have the dinner he had been denied earlier, a block of TNT flew into it.

"Bad Cyclops!" A voice said. "No eating my brother!"

"And friends," another voice added.

The demigods and satyr turned and stared, wide-eyed, at the Cyclops and son of Athena standing unharmed in the herd with a a TNT cannon.

"Hello," Zedaph said, and patted a sheep on the head. It was pink. Where had he gotten pink dye?

Polyphemus roared and stumbled backward, towards the cliff. Unfortunately, he managed to spit out the TNT before it exploded.

However, in the blast, part of the cliff crumbled, Polyphemus' foot slipped, and he fell.

"HA! BYE!" Bdubs yelled.

"About time you showed up!" Clarisse yelled at Zedaph.

"YOU'RE ALIVE," Bdubs observed.

"We had to build a TNT cannon," Zedaph said. "Sorry."

Tyson giggled.

"Go get Fleece!" Bdubs said, not knowing exactly how they were surviving in a herd of carnivorous sheep but being thankful for it all the same.

Tyson looked around, confused. "Which one?"

"The golden one," Zedaph told him, pointing to the tree.

"Oh!" Tyson said. "Yes! Pretty."

He started to wade through the sheep. They followed him, probably expecting treats.

"They think he's Polyphemus," Percy realized.

"Duh, stupid," Bdubs rolled his eyes.

Zedaph made his way over to where the rest of the demigods were. "I'm probably exhausting my welcome," he said, gesturing to the man-eating sheep. "I have a way with sheep, but I think these ones are almost done tolerating me."

A small, furry head poked out of his pocket and squeaked.

"THAT'S REN!" Bdubs yelled.

"No duh, Sherlock," Zedaph said. "Tango landed a slime clutch in the ravine and Ren found the block."

"Eek," Grover said. "Hopefully Polyphemus doesn't land on it. How exactly does slime work in your world?"

Zedaph placed a slime block and bounced on it. Then he waved at Tango.

"HE'S ALIVE TOO," Bdubs noticed.

With all the sheep over with Tyson, Tango was free to get over to the group. "Hi," he said. "I have redstone supplies."

"Hi," Grover said.

"No time! Just throw it!" Percy yelled at Tyson, looking worriedly at Annabeth.

Then a giant shimmery mass of wool hit him in the face.

"Ack," he said. "Heavier than I thought."

He immediately turned to Annabeth and laid the Fleece over her. Her eyes fluttered open, and color returned to her face.

Everyone there breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're not... married?" she asked Grover.

"That's what you're worried about?" Grover asked. "If you must know, no. I'm not married." He grinned. "My friends talked me out of it."

Annabeth sat up despite Percy's protests, but she already looked a lot better. Most of her cuts and scrapes, including a nasty one on her forehead, were almost completely healed.

"You look like you've been injected with glitter," Bdubs said.

Annabeth scrunched her eyebrows. "Is that a good thing?"

"The ship is on the other side of the island," Percy said. "Across the bridge. Which we broke."

"And dropped Ren to his near death," Zedaph added.

"THEN SUMMON IT," Bdubs yelled at him. "YOU'RE A SON OF POSIDEON."

Percy blinked. "Right," he said.

Clarisse felt Annabeth's chest. "She's got a broken rib. I'm gonna have to carry her."

"No, I'm fine-" Annabeth started, standing up, before going green in the face. "Not fine."

Clarisse smirked and picked her up.

"How do you know?" Percy asked.

"Because I've broken a few, idiot."

"I'm bringing the ship over," Percy said, changing the subject.

Bdubs glanced at Tango, who was glaring at Zedaph.

Zedaph looked at Bdubs, then followed his gaze to Tango.

"What?" Zedaph demanded.

Tango punched Zedaph in the face.

"OW! WHAT WAS THAT FOR?"

"THAT WAS FOR RUNNING INTO A HERD OF KILLER SHEEP!"

"I'M FINE NOW!"

Bdubs cackled.

"Incoming!" Tyson yelled, running down the hill with a pack of killer sheep right behind him.

"They won't follow us into the water," Zedaph said, rubbing the red spot on his face from Tango. "Just swim for the ship."

"Not possible!" Clarisse protested. "With Annabeth like this?"

"We can do it," Percy insisted, seeming a lot more confident now that they were back near the water. "Once we get to the ship, we're home free."

"Then what are we waiting for?" Bdubs demanded. "Let's go!"

The ship was in view and they were almost there when Polyphemus, bruised and battered but unfortunately still alive, splashing toward them with a boulder in both hands.
