Bob's Miracle Touch
Jarad's eyes were bloodshot and rage swirled inside his chest and burned brightly. "Where could the damned thing be?"
I glanced across the large room and saw two grand doors on the opposite wall from us. Sarah-Anne saw them too.
"One of those has to take us to wherever Cupid keeps his bow and arrow. We should split up," she said, pointing towards the doors. Kai's eyes widened in shock and he grabbed her arm in shock.
"What?" He said, stepping to face Sarah-Anne. "Split up? Are you insane?"
He began to say something else but regretfully, I edged towards the doors, holding my knife out in front of my body. My heart was beating rapidly and I could feel it climbing my throat. "Kai," I said, cutting his voice off. He trailed off and looked at me, still holding Sarah-Anne's arm. "She's right. We don't have much time left. We need to find this weapon before time runs out if we have any chance... Any chance of saving Percy."
Kai bit his lip uneasally but nodded his head. "Ok, I'll take the right door with Sarah-Anne, Annabeth, you and Jarad take the-"
Suddenly, the doors to Cupid's home swung open loudly, banging the walls. Fear gripped my body and I swung around, a blood-curdeling cry escaping my lips. But it wasn't Cupid.
It was just Bob.
"The Titan!" Kai gasped and sagged in relief. "Thank the Gods."
"Bob!" I exclaimed and jogged to meet the Titan as he came through the doors. "Did you get all the supplies we sent you for?"
"I did!" He said, smiling broadly. Bob then proceded to drop five duffle bags onto the ground. They hit the marble with ha heavy thud - they were surely filled with provisions and weapons we dearly needed.
Footsteps sounded behind me and I watched as Jarad scanned the floor with a frown. "We only need four bags now, Bob," Jarad said coldly and quickly turned from the bags. "Let's go. We are losing time."
"Only four?" Said Bob and he tiled his head. "But what about Tom Jones, son of Apollo? He will need a bag, yes?"
Jarad froze in his steps and I saw his shoulders tremble but he didn't respond. Eventually, after a silence, Kai said, "Tom is dead, Bob."
Bob looked confused as he scanned the room around him. The sombre mood was almost palpable and I could feel myself becoming tense. Jarad was right. We'd wasted too much time already. I began to pick up a bag when there was a cough from behind the great Titan and someone walked out from behind his giant figure.
Bob spoke. "Tom Jones, son of Apollo is healed."
Tom coughed violently into his hand and stumbled forward. His wound no longer bleeding. "What?" I stepped forward, eyes wide.
Jarad bet me to it. He sped past me and had Tom in a hug before you could say Cupid. Tom was shocked for a moment and stood awkwardly in Jarad's tight embrace. But then he buried his face in Jarad's shoulder and wrapped his broad arms around him.
Kai coughed awkwardly. "Sorry to break this up, but we have to move. I'm so glad you're alive, Tom."
Tom nodded to Kai and swung his arm around Jarad's shoulders for support. "Let's go."
We all picked up the bags and split up into two groups. Myself, Jarad and Tom and Bob were one group while Kai and Sarah Anne were the second. As Bob walked by me, I touched his leg softly. "Thank you," I told him. He gave me a toothy smile and brushed his broom on the floor.
"Let's go save Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon!"
