"you know, i think it's.. i think it's working. this was a great call." percy tried to stand up, and out of cherry's arms, but he just fell back. "or not."
cherry complained, her arms wrapped around his shoulders.
when would they be done?
"maybe it needs to be naturally running water for poseidon to be able to heal him." annabeth thought.
a loud car honked, and it's tired screeched.
people everywhere started screaming.
echidna approached the group.
"okay. we need to get back inside." annabeth rushed.
"no, we need to keep trying." grover shook his head.
"this isn't working. and she's coming."
"we should go back inside. he'll live." cherry huffed.
"we'll go the temple's altar." annabeth agreed.
"altar? where is there an altar?" grover questioned.
"the highest point, the best view." annabeth answered.
"okay, but what good is that even gonna do us?" grover argued.
"we're gonna get to the altar and we're going to ask my mom for help." annabeth said, police sirens drowning out her voice.
"i thought we don't ask for help." percy questioned, his voice softer than usual.
cherry lifted percy up, and he again rested on her shoulder.
grover helped her lift him.
suddenly, annabeth paused.
"guys, did you hear that?" annabeth questioned.
cherry shook her head.
"hear what?" grover asked.
"never mind. come on." annabeth continued.
« ───── « ⋅ʚ♡ɞ⋅ » ───── »
the group all took a seat.
"what happened?" cherry questioned.
"she spoke to you. alecto did that with me back in the museum in new york. what did she say?" percy realized, trying to catch his breath.
a loud growl was heard.
thankfully, the elevator doors shut.
"was that the chimera? i think.. i think that was the chimera. how did the chimera even get inside here?" grover panicked.
"athena let her in." cherry realized. "why?"
"annabeth! what did echidna say to you?" percy called out.
annabeth finally looked up.
"she said my impertinence wounded my mother's pride. and that that will be my doom." annabeth revealed.
"impertinence? what kind of.. medusa's head." percy realized, with a small gasp.
"i embarrassed my mother."
"but i'm the one who sent the head to olympus. i signed the note. and i went along with it. it embarrassed her. now, she's angry."
cherry huffed.
"it's not your fault." cherry comforted.
"guys, what are we gonna do?" grover asked.
"she isn't gonna help us when we get to the top to save percy." annabeth shook her head.
