Here at Last
I heard something faint on my descent like something trying to yell at the top of it's lungs, so I gave up trying to glide and I spread my claws to grab it. It smelled like a human, and a goat at the same time. It squealed then jumped to the side and I barely managed to land silently, and it kept on seeming to scream something. So I ran faster than any living thing can and tackled it to the ground then I licked it's face letting the chemicals in my saliva seep into it's skin and putting it into a deep sleep without any pain or scratches other than the bruise it might have on it's back when it wakes up. Then I noticed a lone cabin, and went to it because it seemed to pull at me and my back. Oh right I forgot about her I said to myself then let the person that I had sealed into my back in a small translucent bubble so that she could breath rise up to the surface and I let her lay there on my back with her arms going out to her sides laying on her stomach. I noticed that the small building was one that I haven't seem before and it looked like it just got built when I landed, it was a metallic silver and had multiple weapons and a bed inside for a human.
--------------------------<Percy's POV>--------------------------
I woke up to a scream outside of my cabin, and it sounded like it was Grover. I immediately got up and dressed and headed outside with riptide in hand. I was right because Grover was sitting up breathing heavily. I looked around and there was no one else outside besides me, and so I walked over to him and helped him up.
"What happened to you" I said entertained "did you get slobbered on by a wolf or something"
"N-no" he stuttered as I started to put Riptide away "I-It was a monster" he breathed before he fainted. After he said that I was on high alert with riptide in hand as I ran to the Athena Cabin.
"Annabeth" I whispered "Annabeth get out here it's important" and I saw a shape slowly come to the door and open it. Apparently she didn't bother to change, and she stood there looking annoyed and tired.
"What are you doing here it's like the middle of the night" she asked a little mad.
"It's Grover he said that a monster got in last night" and as soon as I said monster she was also on high alert "I want to look around to see if there is one actually here that's why I got you up instead of Leo"
"How could there be a monster here, and how did no one notice" she asked seriously
"I don't know, but whatever it was completely covered Grover's face with slobber" I said
"Maybe it's a good Hell-hound" she said as we walked around looking "we do get those from time to time, but Grover would probably be mauled and the whole camp would be up" her battle and strategy side was already starting to come out.
"I don't know, but I do know that it is definitely NOT a Hell-hound" I said, and for the next five hours we searched the whole camp. Then we were about to give up as the sun came out when I noticed a cabin that we haven't built or started to build.
"What's that" I asked
"I don't know, but it wasn't there before" she said then added "maybe we should get Chiron and Leo" so we did that, told them about what Grover said and as we walked over to the strange cabin I saw Annabeth and Chiron walking to the cabin too, and they were a little closer than us so they got there a second before us.
"I have never seen this cabin before" Chiron said "it's like it just rose out of the ground, and it looks like it is made of a metallic silvery substance, but it moves around like your element Percy, water.
-----------------------<Dragon's POV>-------------------------
These humans were loud but I could still keep an eye on my hurt friend, but they didn't know about her yet. Hmmm maybe I should try to hide, but that damn horse-but smells good I thought licking my lips a little at the thought of me eating that half-horse. Then I smelled one of them really close to me, and I immediately shimmered and turned invisible. I didn't want to be seen until I choose to be seem, and now wasn't that time unless it was by my friend and princess. Then it wen t quiet for a second, and I strained my ears and tilted my head to hear better.
"Percy what's in there?" one of the girls asked
"You guys might want to come in here, and quickly" the human named Percy said, and then I saw the girl and the other boy come in. The boy named Percy smelled of the Oceans and Seas, the other boy smelled of metal making and fire, and the girl didn't really have a smell other than Vanilla and Fearlessness I'll see about that once she see's me I thought, but she also looked very smart and strategic.
"I'm not coming in there, and I am not going to resist my bodies reaction to not go in there" the half-horse said Ha, stupid scared horse I thought. Then I felt something on my skin but it wasn't really on me but it was on my friend. I hissed loudly, and every time someone touched her I would hiss.
"Now that is creepy" the female said "but if you don't let us touch her how do we treat her she said to the darkness" after I didn't reply one of the boys said
"Can you at least give us a sign of what you want from us so that we can touch her because otherwise she could stay like this forever, or even die" ow, that hurt inside so I waved my hand on the ground burning my 'price' on the floor.
"Hey guys it's communicating with us" the one that smelled of fire said joking "wow this just makes us like ghost hunters, but look at the burn it isn't an actual burn on a metal floor. It looks like the floor stained itself in letters to communicate"
"Yeah that is strange" the one named Percy said then they stared at it for a little bit thinking.
"How do we know that you won't hurt us though" the girl said
"Annabeth if it didn't kill Grover then why do you think that it would kill one or all of us" Percy said to the girl named Annabeth huh so that is who the goat man was but I wasn't going to call food by a name because in my eyes it didn't need one if it was going to be eaten soon. I waved my hand across the floor again changing the message to;
If you kill her...even by accident I will show myself and waste no time destroying this little camp, and eating everything that moves and is edible. I also know about that stupid metal 'creation', and it would be torn apart in the blink of an eye.
"Guys look it's moving around" the fire smelling one said then his face hardened when they all saw it and his hands began to light on fire, and he tried to look threatening but he utterly failed and it was rather pitiful to see him looking around for something to light on fire. I sent then another message;
That won't work on my scales you know, but do not hurt, kill, or make her worse on any way or you five will be first starting with the goat thing, bye and don't come here again unless you have a death wish, and want to get incinerated or frozen in anything.
This time the one named Percy went mad, and then confused as he slowly read it again. Then they carried her out on what looked like a stretcher, and I followed as they went out and then made a barrier across the cabin that only these three plus my person could go through. They looked back for a second before they started to talk.
"Does anyone else find it weird that this thing can create a barrier without a problem at all, and did you guys notice that it said 'scales' in the last piece of writing. Then I burned the grass in letters as they walked and they slowed looking at it fearfully.
I
Could
Erase
Your
Minds
So
SHUT
UP
and keep walking
They stayed quiet for the rest of the walk then I noticed that we were in a forest after passing through the barrier where anything could get us. Then I saw wolves and other monsters and animals looking at me, and staying back form us as we walked through them. I bared my teeth at almost all of those that tried to take a step forward, and they scrambled back to where they were before. During this the kids looked at all of them in wonder, and then looked behind them seeing nothing still. I saw the fire one do some fire work nervously, but didn't think that it was anything important. So I just kept on walking, and then we arrived at a place called Cabin 9, and at the time it looked so abandoned that it looked like the place could never be lit or even used. I was wrong because when fire guys stepped in the place lit up like a tree that you would use for a holiday or some sort. I don't really care, and it doesn't matter because when they were in he clapped once and electric net fell on me surrounding me and giving me shape. It didn't hurt because I conducted electricity and I had already found a way to store it for later use.
-----------------------------<Percy's POV>-------------------------------
We all just stared at the shape that suddenly formed when the net came down on it, and then we saw electricity that was so concentrated that the sparks and bolts just swirled around it's body and then they disappeared into what looked like it's mouth and stayed there before we heard a sharp snap and the invisibility was in place again. We waited for a long while, and when nothing happened Leo's mouth just opened up and hung there for a long moment. Then slowly closed after what felt like forever, and he seemed speechless. We were still staring at the empty space when it snapped the chains in one snap of what seemed like it's mouth, and we couldn't see anything anymore.
"What the---" Leo started "I know that it was a stupid move, but I thought that it would go better than what just happened" then we started to see writing similar to the other times.
I'm not mad at you because I haven't been electrocuted in a while but honestly if you wanted an effect it would have to be close to a high concentration of hmmm about a couple quadrillion volts times about three hundred to have an effect. So that was just nothing, but it felt good that's why I didn't fry you with it instead or tear you apart. Sadly it was a stupid, and yet smart, way to try to reveal me, but it didn't work so good try.
We didn't know what to think, but he somehow got something out anyways as usual
"What!? You just shorted out my electric traps and you say that a hundred million volts tickles" he said speechless and wondrous.
Precisely
"Wow I'm not doing that again" he whispered a little too loudly
How about we go to the actual place, you know what I'll just do it this time
As we finished reading it there was a sharp pop in the air and we were suddenly standing in the recovery room. It can teleport at will, and it can do many other things that I don't even want to think about. We got her a treatment medicine and a bed to rest on, and when we left I noticed a small message on my hand that tingled, and slowly faded away after I read it. It said thank you for taking care of my girl. Then I went to my cabin and slept.
