•Chapter Thirty-Five•

The other three hellhounds cared not for sportsmanship, and all lunged down at me at once, and I stayed in my crouched position, one knee on the ground.

In a desperate motion, I swing my sword around my head, the jagged edges of the ice water whipping out to help aid the cuts to all of the hellhounds.

However as it was not a deep enough blow, it didn't kill them.

They landed on me, yelping in pain as my sword and its bonus water whip cut deep, but still not deep enough.

I gasped as the weight landed on me loosing my sword as they shortly forgot their pain and howled in victory as they realized I was pinned.

I held onto my lifeline, my water, letting it heal every scratch and bite, and I struggled against the massive dogs. I reached for the larger mass of water, praying for it to come to my aid, disobedient and slow as it was.

"Please!" The water finally lurched to my aid, just as soon as something else did..

"HEY!" A gunshot echoed in the harbor.

The water poured over me, and one of the hellhounds growled and jumped for the second aid.

Wait..

The water crushed the two hellhounds with its pressure, combusting into glittery dust, I got to my knees as I realized just who arrived.

A man in a red helmet.

But his voice.. sounded..

The man shot again, but it did nothing to affect the hellhound.

I stumbled towards him. He wasn't going to be able to defeat the monster without my help. "Stop! You're only aggravat-" he shot again, multiple times.

"Stop!" I screamed as I started to run, but i was too late. The hellhound had forced the helmeted man to the ground, and was now attacking with ferocious rage.

I threw my sword, (which I had retrieved back from my pocket) lodging it deep into the hellhounds neck, and it only took a moment before my sword clattered to the ground, the monster vanishing.

I eventually made it to the man, collapsing beside him in worry.

This is some unknown man. Be wary, Percy, why are you so.. worried?

"Hey? Can you hear me?"

The man was luckily wearing leather armor under his simple t-shirt, but even then, a few deep claw lashes made it through to his skin, and even his upper arm was a bit torn up due to the ferocious jaws.

The man groaned, his voice slightly robotic.

"Hello? Idiot helmet dude?"

"You.." he groaned again, "you're the one getting attacked by.. wolves.."

"I had it under control.." I hissed. "You went and put yourself in danger."

He sat up with difficulty. "I need medical attention.. ugh.. why didn't my bullets work?!"

I helped him up, lifting an arm over my head. "Let's.. go to a hospital."

He halted. "No. No hospitals." He said sternly.

"..okay. Do you live near here?"

"No."

"Okay.. my house it is."

Hi.. I'm so sorry I delayed. I was hating all my writing and didn't know how to make it work.

Good news is I am finally putting to writing the scene I imagined from the beginning!!

Anyways... I still kinda owe you another chapter, so I'll try working on it since the next flow of events I've got kinda planned in my brain.

Also I didn't proof read this so yell at me if you see something wrong lol

Anyways, enjoy this for now, hope to see you all again soon!

Have a *phonetastic* day!
