Jessica Castellan // Percy Jackson

Chapter 15

Jessica noticed she was bleeding and wiped it off. They came across Chris.

Percy - Go to the life boat.

Percy and Chris fought until Percy threw Chris out the yacht and into the ocean.

Percy - That was for Grover.

Annabeth, Tyson, and Jessica fought people to get through the life boat.

Percy had four people on him.

Guy - We got him!

Percy was on top of the yachts roof basically trapped but nobody could get on top. Luke looked at Percy as Percy was trying to find a way out.

Luke - What are you doing? Don't walk on my roof.

Annabeth jumped into the boat as Tyson was in it first. Jessica jumped in and stayed seated.

Annabeth - You're bleeding.

Jessica - Just a little cut. No biggy.

Annabeth - You gonna be okay?

Jessica - Yes.

**

Luke - Join me Percy. It's what you were meant to do. You can't escape that propechy. Let's show both of our fathers.

Percy - It's tempting.

**

Tyson drops the generator into the water.

Annabeth - That's genius. Really!

**

Percy - I think I'll pass.

**

Tyson grabbed a paddle. They all look up to see a wall of water blocking the yacht and the life boat.

**

Luke - Not this again.

Percy hits everyone with the water.

Percy - Go!

Annabeth - What, are you staying?!

Percy - I'll be right behind you!

**

Jessica took out what her father gave to Annabeth and handed it to her.

Annabeth - Might as well.

She opens it as air gushes out making the boat go in circles. She almost loses grip but she gets a grip and points it to the yacht making the boat go farther away from the yacht.

**

Percy jumps off the yacht as he rode a wave of water going to the life boat. Luke and another guy jumped off onto the wave. The guy screamed as he just went straight through the wave. Luke was behind Percy.

Luke - Jackson, enough! You're on the losing side.

Percy - Not from where I stand.

Percy waved his hand and Luke gets shoved by water. Percy jumps into the life boat.

Percy - Smart.

Annabeth - Goddess of Wisdom's daughter. Remember?

Tyson - I remember.

Annabeth handed the can to Percy. Tyson was in the middle and Jessica was between Tyson and Annabeth. Her cut on her head stopped bleeding.

The mist on Tyson disappeared, he was smiling not noticing.

Annabeth - Maybe you should, you know reapply.

Tyson - It wore off?

Annabeth - Yeah.

He sprays as nothing came out. Tyson gives it a couple hits.

Tyson - Come on.

He sprays again and got disappointed.

Tyson - Oh no.

Percy closes the Hercules Busts Heads can.

Percy - Hey. Do you want to steer for a while?

He hands it to Tyson.

Tyson - Thank you. Nobodies ever trusted me with anything before.

Annabeth - Is that because of your lack of depth perception?

Percy - Is it because they're scared of you?

He nods.

Tyson - I was in the mountains one day and some campers, Boy Scouts, showed up. And when they saw me, they screamed. They ran. And I'm pretty sure I smiled. People look at me and they see a monster. Sometimes I think maybe their right.

Percy - You're not a monster. Don't be so hard on yourself.

Tyson chuckles.

Tyson - Easy for you to say.

Percy - What do you mean?

Tyson - You never doubt yourself or think you're less than you are. Thank you, brother.

Percy - Come here.

Percy gets up and Tyson goes to where he was sitting.

Percy - Open it slowly. Slowly.

Tyson opens the can and panicked.

Percy - Hey, just take it slow. Slow, ok?

Percy sits down beside Annabeth and Jessica behind them.

Annabeth - I wouldn't have trusted him with a normal thermos.

Percy - He seems ok. I mean... I really don't get what's your problem with him is.

Annabeth - Because you don't know what I know about them. A cyclops killed her. His kind killed Thalia.

Percy - I'm sorry. I never knew.

Annabeth - Yeah, well, it's not something I like talking about. And, anyway it was a long time ago.

Grey clouds covered the sky grabbing everybodies  attention.

Percy - What is that?

Annabeth - It's the Sea of Monsters.

They slowed down and stopped moving. The boat stayed still. Everybody looked at Tyson.

Annabeth - Why are we stopping?

Tyson looks at the cap of the can.

Tyson - I should have used two hands.

Annabeth - You think?

Percy'a hand goes to his forehead as Annabeth looked at him.

Tyson - Are you mad at me?

Annabeth - No, not at you.

Jessica - It's ok, Ty.

Percy looks at the ocean to see the look of a shark'a fin.

Tyson - Uh....

4 more come out.

Annabeth - Tell me those aren't sharks.

Jessica and Percy look closer.

Percy & Jessica - Those aren't sharks....
