Chương 99: Chapter 99
"Monsters," Luke replied, "every monster in existence is real and they hide in plain sight. You are special, you can see past their attempts to hide. You can see the real world."
"Wh-what do I do?"
"Keep your head down. If they don't know you can see them they won't attack you. You will be safe as long as you ignore them."
"That's it?! So is a blood thirsty vampire comes along all I have to do is stich my head in the ground and hope he doesn't see me?!"
Luke raised an eyebrow, "what more do you want?"
"I don't know? A weapon? Some proper advice?! A book on how to kill monsters?!"
Luke laughed, "you remind me of a friend of mine. She and you had basically the same reaction when she learnt of all this. Only there was a lot more cursing and a lot more stabbing." Luke then got up and reached into his bag and pulled out the spare blade he got from the forge, "can you see what this is?"
"Is that a gold sword?"
"Yup. It's made out of a material called celestial bronze, or in this case an alloy of it. It is very rare and is the only thing that can kill monsters," Luke then handed the blade to Christy who held it at an arm's length inspecting it.
"It's beautiful," she waved it around enjoying the feeling of power it gave her.
"Normal human can't see it, if they do if would probably look like a baseball bat or something."
"And you are just giving it to me?"
"Yup," Luke then pulled out his personal blade, "I have my own."
Christy smiled but the a sad look came across her face. She then handled Luke back the sword, "thanks for this. I don't really think I can ever use it though."
Luke looked at her like she just grew an extra head, "why is that?"
"Are you blind," Christy tapped her legs, "I can't walk. By the time I use this blade the thing that is trying to kill me would have ripped my head off!"
"It's okay. People tend to look down on disabled people. Just wait for the monster to turn away and then stab him between the ribs."
"Ah yeah sure. The chances of me actually hurting a monster is the same as me dancing!"
Luke sighed. He was right, she did remind him a lot of Thalia, especially with that temper of hers. Suddenly a thought came to Luke, he knew exactly what to do to calm her down, "okay then." He then put the blade aside and grabbed Christy and pulled her up. He then held her up by the waist and and spun her around the room.
"What are you doing?!" Christy cried as she tried moving away from Luke's grip.
"Helping you dance!" Luke laughed as he spun her all over the cabin living room.
"Stop it Luke!"
"Oh come one live a little!" Luke grinned as he started to hum a tune.
Eventually Christy stopped protesting and hung off Luke's arms. Slowly however a smile formed on her face as she hugged Luke tightly, "thank you."
"Anytime," Luke replied as he hugged her back. She smell good, like lilacs.
Just then the door opened and Percy walked in with mud on his knees, "ah…. am I interrupting something?"
Luke's eyes shot open and started at Percy. He then tried to move in two directions at once and ended up tripping falling into the couch, walking up Jet and causing Christy to fall on top of him.
"What the hell is going on?" Grover asked as he and Jon joined Percy at the door.
"I have no idea. But I think Luke was trying to score with Christy."
After a few minutes,
Jet, now wide awake, looked at Percy with an open mouth, "you know what that thing is?"
Percy nodded, "it;s a Nokken. From what I know it is a shapeshifter that can transform into anything. It probably transforms into whoever you care about the most and then drowns them in the lake."
"How do you know all this?" Christy asked from her wheelchair.
"I'm an expert on water sports," Percy replied. Luke and Grover probably thought it was a son of Poseidon thing, which was exactly what Percy wanted them to think.
"So now that that's settled we should probably get out of here," Grover said rubbing his hands.
"Don't you remember we can't. This thing, this Nokken makes us go around in circles. We tried a lot, not once did we succeed," John said.
"But you didn't have Percy back then," Luke said smiling at the demigod, "he is kind of like Christy, except his powers are stronger. He can get us out of this mist."
"Woah," John said staring at Percy, "who the hell are you kid?"
Percy smiled, "Jackson, Percy Jackson."
"So are you saying we can leave?" Christy asked with hope.
"Yeah," Luke nodded, "we can go right now if you three want. I'll carry Christy on my back and we might reach town by sunrise."
Everyone was quiet as the three questers looked at the college students. But just then Jet spoke up, "no. We aren't leaving."
"Why the hell not?" John asked, "that thing kill everyone Jet! We are the only ones left!"
"Exactly!" Jet screamed as he stood up, "that thing killed everyone we care about! I am not leaving until that thing is dead!"
"Jet you can't be serious!" John shouted, "you want to fight that thing?!"
"Yes," Jet crossed his arms, "I do."
"So do I," Christy said causing everyone to look at her.
"Christy?" John looked at the girl with worry, " but you can't even move Christy what is something happens to you? What is this thing take you into the lake?"
"Then I'll wait for you guys to come and rescue me," Christy replied and then grabbed the blade Luke gave her off the coffee table, "also I'm pretty sure if I cut the thing in half it will die."
John looked at her and then Jet. He sighed, "you two are fucking crazy. Fine. I'm in."
"Good," Luke said, "now does anyone have a plan?"
Percy smiled, "I do."
A few minutes later the six people in the cabin were split into groups of two and spread throughout the lake. Luke and Christy took the area in front of the cabin while Percy and John took the area to the left and Jet and Grover to the right.
Percy gave Jet and John the spare celestial blades he carried and after insuring the mortal that what they were holding was in fact a sword and not a club, like the Mist made them think, they set out.
Luke looked at Christy, "you were very brave to suggest fighting back," Luke said as they watched the lake for the Nokken.
