Killer Plant

The vine tightens around her ankle and she goes along with the plant.

10 feet.
20 feet.
30 feet.
40 feet she's in the air. 

The blood rushing to her head as she tired to loosen the grip on her foot.
All she has is her hands, no sword of dagger.

"Reyna!" The girl cries as she looks up at Reyna the plant still growing, "Ryan stop growing!"

"It's not me!" He yells back his hands dropping but the plant still grows.

Then and arrow grazes the vine and Reyna feels herself drop. Then another then another until the vine no longer exists.

Then Reyna is free falling. She was about 50 feet in the air when the vine was cut.

Then she lands on something soft and feels the wind shift.

"Scipio?" Reyna yells with a smile.

The Pegasus whines in a 'yes' way. The happiness was short lived when something attaches to Reyna's ankles.

She looks down to see two more vines. She looks back to the giant monster plant.

"You've got to be pulling my leg!" Somebody yells as Reyna is yanked off Scipio back, "A killer plant really?"

{A/N pun intended ;)}

"Let go of me!" Reyna yells and at that moment the bud in the center blossoms into a monstrous face that looks like the inside of a strawberry. It has sharp teeth and small beady eyes.

It dangles Reyna in front of it's mouth and she does the most reasonable thing. She punches it in the face.

That's right a 30 foot strawberry monster she just punched in the face.

It was surprised but growls and the vine grow thorns and are directed toward Reyna.

"Do it!" She yells her bangs blocking her vision a little.

"Hey over here!" A voice yells and Reyna sees it Charlie and Aaron back to back.

"Let go of my praetor right now you oversized jar of jam!" Aaron yells wielding a Sparta.

'Huh.' Reyna thinks. 'She must fight on horse back back home. And she's awake.'

The beast growls again spraying strawberry juice everywhere. A group of demigods form ready to take down the beast.

Chiron, Nico and Will at the front.

"This is dark magic." Chiron yells, "Slay the beast."

"With pleasure." Nico said hit sword making coming out the holder.

"I second that." Will said his siblings throwing him a bow and a stash of arrows.

"Hey!" Reyna cups her hands, "Can someone hand me my sword!"

Then the most unexpected thing happened the monster ate her.

"Reyna!" Nico yells his voice raw.

Then she was slowly slipping deeper into the plant. She could see outside but the images were blurry. It was like swimming in jelly.

She was at the wall that sperate her from air banging with her fist her lungs burning.

Nico was there his sword in a deadly position for a slash. He does and Reyna falls out coughing up strawberry Jam.

Nico hands were at her waist pulling her up and running as a thick vine came down where they just were.

Then something burns inside Reyna and she feels like fire is burning her throat.

"Poison it's poisonous." She chokes and Nico nods then calls out to the rest of them.

He quickly shoves an ambrosia square in her mouth and springs with life.

"I'm never eating strawberries again."
She said and gets up grabbing a spear.

"Same here." Nico points his thumb at himself and joints her in the assault.

She cuts off any vines that come to close as the run toward the monster.
Aaron is fighting with Jordan to get close to the plant.

And Charlie had a vine wrapped around her waist Reyna stopped to help but then the boy Ryan stepped in and cut her free.

"Come on!" Nico pulls her forward.

Then it was a wave of vines and there all pointed toward the Nico and Reyna.
Then a single arrow places it self in it's abdomen and it turns to a mountain of dust.

Reyna steals a glance over her shoulder and saw Chiron had fired it.

However the vines didn't turn to ash and they came crashing down. Nico grabbed Reyna by the waist pulled her into the shadows.

She opens her eyes and she's standing next to Nico.

"Are you alright?" She asks as she runs her hand along his chest, where the fabric was ripped.

"I'm fine." He said and took her hand, "You got eaten."

"But you saved me." She said as she picks up and ambrosia bottle from his pocket and hands it to him.

He partially smiles, "So a killer strawberry?"

"Who would have guessed?" Reyna said with a smile.

Then sudden snap back to life the vine headed straight toward Nico. Reyna had just saw the vine and she took one step forward but another girl was already there.

She has her back toward the vine and grabbed Nico shoulders as the vine went through her chest.

And with a sickening sound came out then turned to ashes. Then the girl became limp.

Nico caught her and they we're both lying on the ground. Blood bubbled at her mouth.

"You m-must know that t-there is a s-s-spy here. That's why we have so many attacks." Her breathing was shuttering her hand clutching Nico shirt, "Be on alert. The spy is..."

She was the young camper from a few days. Lola was her name.

Her red hair brushed over the green grass as her head became limp. Chiron was over them sorrow on his face.

He said a few things in accident Greek and a handful of Athena children were there to take her body away.

"She sacrifice herself to save me." He turned to Reyna, "Why?"

"I don't know but her death will not be in vain." Reyna said she looks at the fields.

Dangers are everywhere. No where is safe.

Reyna snaps out of her trance, "Did you hear that?"

"What?"

"That voice that said 'Dangers are everywhere. No where is safe.'" Reyna said.

He shakes his head signaling no.

"It was nothing." She shakes her head hoping to shake those words along with it.

Nico walks over to Chiron and tells him what Lola had just told them.

Chiron get everyone attention, "This is not just a coincidence. There is no doubt in my mind that we have another Spy living along us."

A murmuring ripples through the crowd and Reyna sees Nico stir uneasily.

"I can't believe this is happening." Nico said and brings his sword to his side.

"I agree." Reyna said coughing. The poison still burning her chest.

"Reyna I never got to tell you the rest of the prophecy." Nico said facing her, "But one thing is sure."

"And what is that?" She asks as she slightly coughs again.

"This is apart of a much bigger prophecy. Like you said bigger then both of us." His voice was shaking slightly, "I had a dream of the next Great Prophecy and we are apart of it."
