Chereads / Alexander Jackson and The Sea of Neptune / Chapter 11 - The Cursed Blade

Chapter 11 - The Cursed Blade

'Alex, we need to talk.' Angel was in front the cabin.

'Angel?' I opened the cabin and Angel pulled me.

'Where are we going?' I asked, running.

'Just come on.' She kept pulling me, then why did she say "Come on" when she had a strong grip on my arm?

She opened her private cabin door and pushed me inside. She closed the door with a hard push and I fell on the ground. I doubt that she'll kill me.

'Alex...' Angel looked at me. 'We need to talk. Something big I heard about.'

'Yeah? I stood up.

'There were people talking about a cursed blade and stuff. I thought you would know about it so I came to ask you.'

'Cursed Blade, huh?' I didn't have a clue what was that blade, and why is it cursed? 'I'll keep it in mind, I never heard about it but I think I know who might?' I pulled Angel out of the cabin and ran to Hephaestus's cabin.

'I doubt Hephaestus might know something about it.' I looked at her.

'But Hephaestus is not in camp, is he?' Angel raised an eyebrow like she was trying to say, You Stupid?

'That's why I brought you to his children!' I pointed at the cabin.

'Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh! I get it,' she pulled to me the cabin.

'Yo, Guys!' I yelled and everyone looked at me. 'Your Father, The God of forge, yeah?'

'Yeah.' One yelled and the others cheered that their father is a god.

'Angel and I are trying to hear about a Blade called-' I was about to say The Cursed Blade but Angel took my sentence.

'We are looking information of the "Cursed Blade". Heard of it?' Angel looked at them, none replied.

'Me.' Draco raised his hand. 'Come with me to know more.'

Angel and I followed him into the creek.

'So, you both are trying to know about this blade as well?' Draco asked, staring at the tree of the creek.

'"As Well"? What do you know by that? Their more who want to know about this too?' Angel asked.

Draco looked at me and Angel with a down look. 'Kovu, Jason, Silena, everyone! I know something's about it. It has a scroll. A hidden scroll never to be found. Never. We need that scroll to know more. The scroll's paper is made out of pure gold.'

'Gold Paper?' I asked. 'You mean the gold is flexible?'

'Yeah.' Draco clapped my shoulder. 'I think Dain can help us. Come with me.'

We followed Draco to Zeus's Cabin.

'Dain! We need help! Hashtag Blade!' Draco said, smiling.

'Hashtag?' Angel asked. 'We're trying to know about a sword and you are going hashtags?'

'Uh, the thing is... Dain and I made a hashtag for the sword.' Draco was shy.

'So, if he yelled "Hashtag Blade" I know he really needs my help. Now, what kind of help do you need?' Dain looked at Draco.

'You know scroll. Angel and Alex here, need directions, sir.'

'Oh, Well... Its west from the lake, I know that. Oh and the Dagger is also known as "The Cursed Blade"'

'Well, That's good info for us. Alex and I'll be heading there today.' Angel looked at me and her Golden hair came on one of her shoulders.

'Sure...' I followed her.

After some hours, I asked Angel, 'Time?'

'Yeah time" She replied and we headed to lake.

Angel took out her compass and pointed west 'There.'

'West?' I said.

'Yep.'

'So, let's go?'

'Yeah.'

Angel and I went west of the lake.

The west side of the lake was a bit scary. Angel got freaked out and took my hand. 'Alex, you lead the way…'

'Okay.' I slowly pulled her.

Angel saw light, I didn't. 'Alex, see there light.'

'What? Where?'

She pointed left, 'There.'

'I don't see it.'

'No teasing here!'

'AM NOT!'

'ARE!'

We argued like two year old kids, hit each other, of course I didn't but Angel pinched me and I yelped.

'Heck Angel! OW!'

'That's what you get for acting!'

'I swear to Zeus I wasn't!'

'What?! Really?' She yelled and I rolled my eyes.

I looked at her and yelled, 'Why would I lie to you?!'

'Oh yeah… uh… ok, I see it so you follow me.'

'That's better…' I muttered

I followed her. 'A house?'

'What? I don't see it!'

'Keep it down!' She pulled me down.

'Ah! Golden Fleece Girl!' Someone yelled.

'What the heck?!' Angel yelled as the person called her "Golden Fleece girl".

'So you do not know your gift, my dear?'

'Do not call me MY DEAR!' Angel made her hands into fists.

I went to Angel and whispered, 'Calm down.'

'I'll try.' She kept staring at the women and I sat down. The women locked her eyes on me.

'My Dear,' she looked at Angel. 'You don't remember me?'

'No…' Angel muttered.

The Women stood up and took Angel's hand. She pulled Angel into her House and I could see it now. I tried to open the door but it was locked. I started to hit it with my arm.

'Angel,' she said 'You have the gift of the golden-'

'Let me out freak!' Angel yelled.

'I am Athena, ANGEL!' She yelled.

'I am Athena. You have the gift of the golden fleece my girl.'

'What?'

'Yes-'

I crashed open the door and yelled, 'Angel come! Let go!'

'Alex, she's my grandmother.'

'Wait what?'

'Let's just stay for a while. She might know.'

'Know what my dear?' She asked Angel but growled at me.

I looked at Angel and not at Athena.

'About the Cursed Blade.' Angel answered.

'Oh… The blade Annabeth had. Yes, I know.'

'We are looking for the scroll.'

'We?'

'Alex and Me.'

'Uh huh.' Athena looked at me and growled at me. Then I tried hard not to meet her eyes. 'I have the scroll.' Of course she did!

'Grandmother Can we have it?' Angel said and Athena growled at me again.

'Don't say WE!' She yelled.

Yeah, she hates me.

'What is the problem with the word "WE"?'

'I hate it that's the problem!'

'What?'

'Here the scroll, if you want to meet me come here any time.' She pushed Angel and me outside of her house. 'WITHOUT THE BOY!'

'Jeez.' I nodded my head. 'Is she always like this?'

'I- I don't know… I never saw her before, this is my first time.' Angel looked down.

'Hey, don't get down. Chin up.'

'Uh… ok?' And she looked normal.

After some time, Angel looked at me. 'Alex can I tell you a secret?'

'Sure, why not.'

'I have a brother, called Johny. You know I told you Michael saved me, but Johny protected me first. He was killed. I told mom and dad and Silena, they were crying but I was more because I didn't tell them he scarified his life for me or my parents would kill me.'

'No they wouldn't!'

'They would…'

'Really?'

'They might…'

'Now might? Next?'

'THEY WOULDN'T!'

'Jeez, ok! Don't get hyper.'

'Uh… Sorry. Come on.' She pulled me to the camp.

Dain and Draco came running. 'Did you get the scroll?' Draco asked.

Angel took out the scroll out of her pocket. 'This is small but can you understand?'

'I won't but I know how might.'

'Chiron?'

'Nope. Merlin.'

'Merlin?' I asked.

'Yes, the greatest wizard of them all.'

'Oh…'

'Come let's meet him, the sooner we go the sooner we come.'

'He's right, let's go.' Angel agreed.

'Tomorrow?' I asked.

'Sure. Why not?'
