Chapter 11
(Y/N)'s POV
We continue to travel across the ocean. Percy was holding the thermos. I was sitting next to Annabeth, who was sitting far away from Tyson. Tyson was still playing with the pieces of metal. I was wondering what he was making. Tyson looked up and saw me looking his way. He gave me a big smile. I smiled a little.
'Maybe Tyson is different...'
But then I remembered what his kind did to Thalia.
I glanced at Annabeth. She was glaring daggers at Tyson. Percy closed the thermos and faces Tyson.
"Hey, Tyson do you want to steer for a while?" Percy asked as he handed the thermos to his half brother.
Tyson looked up at Percy.
"Thank you. Nobody's ever trusted me with anything before."
"Is that because of your lack of depth perception?" Annabeth asked.
I elbowed Annabeth but she just shrugged her shoulders.
"Is it because they're scared of you?" I asked.
Tyson looked at me and nodded.
"Everyone thinks I'm a monster but they never actually know me. But sometimes I think they're right." Tyson said sadly.
I felt guilty. I lowered my gaze and looked off. So did Annabeth.
"You're not a monster. Don't be so hard on yourself." Percy said.
Tyson smiled.
"Come here. Open the thermos slowly. Slowly." Percy instructed as Tyson uncapped the thermos.
The lifeboat jerked forward. Percy sat next to me. He intertwined his fingers with mine. I decided to tell them everything about my past since it was better to tell them now then later.
"Guys...I should tell you everything that happened to me in my past."
"Are you sure (Y/N)? I mean you don't have to if you don't want to." Percy said.
"Yeah (Y/N), you or your brother never told anyone about your past." Annabeth said, worriedly.
I looked at them. I smiled and nodded.
"I want to. I can't keep it a secret any longer...What Luke said about my mom." I sighed. "It's true. She killed herself. It all started when she married Marcus. Will and I were five when she married him. Marcus was alright at first but then he started bossing my mom around. He made me and Will like his slaves. Every night he would come home drunk and if he finds anything that wasn't perfect he would beat up my mom. My mom couldn't fight back because Marcus said that if she did then Will and I will pay the price. It went on like that for two years" I bit my bottom lip, nervously. "Then one evening, when I went to her room I found her dead. I ran back to tell Will. He said that we have to run away before Marcus comes back. So we packed and ran away. Then we met Annabeth, Thalia, and Luke on the way." I looked at my charm bracelet. "This bracelet is the only thing that reminds me of my mom. She gave it to me and Will the day before she died. She said that it was a gift from our dad." I looked at a heart charm that said 'I love you'. I smiled at that because those were my mom's last words before she died.
I realized that I had tears rolling down my cheeks. I was about to wipe them away but Percy did that for me. Annabeth engulfed me in a hug, saying that she was sorry. I hugged back. When we broke the hug, Percy kissed my forehead sending butterflies flutter in my stomach.
"I'm so sorry you've gone through that (Y/N)."
"It's ok Percy. I'm actually glad that I finally told somebody my past."
Percy smiled and wrapped an arm around me. There was silence. Tyson was steering the boat crooked. Annabeth was looking at him.
"I wouldn't have trusted him with a normal thermos."
"I wouldn't either."
"He seems ok. I mean I really don't get what's your problem with him is." Percy said as he looked at me then at Annabeth.
The memory of Thalia dying flashed into my mind.
"Because you don't know what I know about them." Annabeth said.
The Cyclops that killed Thalia flashed into my mind.
"A Cyclops killed her."
"His kind killed Thalia. That's our problem with Tyson." Annabeth said.
"I'm sorry. I never knew."
"Well, it's not something we like to talk about, Percy."
"Besides it was a long time ago." Annabeth said, while looking at something past Percy's shoulder.
We followed her gaze and looked behind us to see dark clouds nearby.
"What is that?" Percy asked.
"It's the Sea of Monsters." Annabeth said.
More dark clouds loomed over us. Suddenly the lifeboat just stopped. I looked at Tyson.
"Why aren't we moving?"
Tyson turned around holding just the thermos lid.
"I should have used two hands...Are you mad at me?" Tyson asked.
"No, not at you." Annabeth said while looking at Percy.
But Percy wasn't paying any attention to Annabeth instead he was looking at something in the ocean. I looked at what he was looking at and saw a pointy fin. I noticed two more fins behind Tyson. More fins popped out the water.
"Tell me those aren't sharks."
Percy peers at the object's hard like surface.
"Those aren't sharks." Percy said. "Paddle! Paddle!"
We each grabbed an oar and started paddling. I saw more 'fins' as it formed a large circle.
"Yeah, sharks would be better."
I saw a mouth-like thing in the middle of the water.
"It's Charybdis." Percy said.
"Charyb-what?" Tyson asked.
"She guards the Sea of Monsters." Annabeth explained.
I looked in front of us and saw Charybdis's tooth coming our way.
"Look out!" I yelled.
The boat slammed into the tooth and its spins out of control.
"Percy!" Both me and Annabeth yelled.
He got the message and tried to use his power but it didn't work. Percy shakes his head.
"It's not working!" He yelled.
"The Sea of Monsters might not be in Poseidon's domain." Annabeth said.
The lifeboat started getting closer to the mouth.
"Hang on!" Percy yelled.
We all hanged on, screaming, as we plummeted into the mouth and into the throat. The lifeboat went off a ledge and lands hard on the stomach floor.
