Chương 97: Chapter 97

"Sure why not."

The three approached the cabin door and Percy knocked on the door, "hello?"

Suddenly whispers broke out from inside the cabin and Percy could make out someone, a guy, telling others to hide and keep quiet.

"We can hear you you know," Percy said causing the whispers to go into a state of panic, god these guys are idiots.

"Let me," Luke said as he took out his lock pick set. He then began his work on the lock on the door and soon it clicked open.

"We are coming in," Percy said as he pushed the door open. He stepped inside but didn't have any time to observe the place as a grown man was charging him with a baseball bat. Percy moved to the side, caught the man's collar and slammed him into the cabin wall.

"Who the fuck are you?!" the man called out as Percy pinned him to the wall.

"Who the fuck are you?" Percy asked back.

"Jet it's okay their human!" cried a female voice from inside the room. Percy turned and there hidden behind a couch was two women, one blonde, a redhead, the one who spoke, and a man.

The blond looked like a child of Aphrodite, beautiful, with bright brown eyes and a jaw dropping figure covered by a pink tank top and a pair of jeans.

The redhead was beautiful too with green eyes hidden behind her glasses. She wore a pink shirt with a black pair of jeans but the most notable thing about her however was the fact that she was in a wheelchair.

The other man was tall, taller than Luke, with brown hair and dark skin. He wore a red hoodie and a pair of shorts.

Percy then turned to the guy he had pinned up against the wall. The man was average height, a little overweight but Percy could feel his strength as he tried to get out of Percy's grip. He had brown hair and brown eyes and looked pissed.

"Percy let him go," Luke said as he pried Percy off the older boy, Jet.

Percy did and threw the man inside, "alright looks like we got on the wrong foot there. But in my defence you did try to take a swing at me."

Jet rubbed his hands, "shit you are strong. How old are you? 14?"

"12 actually," Percy replied, "Grover get in here and closed the door."

The Satyr did and soon a silence feel upon the room. Luke then spoke up, "I guess introduction are in order. My name is Luke, this ball of strength is Percy and the guy in the beanie is Grover."

Jet looked at them and then to his friends. The red haired girl nodded and Jet sighed. "My name is Jet, that's Nat," the blonde, "Christy," the redhead, "and John."

"Great nice to meet you all," Percy replied, "now can you please explain why tried to take a swing at me?"

"Maybe we should start from the beginning," Cristy said as she rolled forward, "like Jet said, my name is Christina Fouret. Please call me Christy," she extended her hand in friendship which Luke shook.

"Alright then," Luke said, "now I think you guys have a story."

Percy and the other sat down on the couch as Christy began their story.

"We came here for our summer break," she began, "Jet's dad bought the cabin recently and we decided to hang out here away from everything."

"So a bunch of college students decided to take a trip to a cabin in the middle of the woods?" Percy asked.

"Pretty much ya," John replied.

"That is such a horror movie cliche."

"Ha I guess you're right," John chuckled.

"This isn't funny John!"Nat screamed, "this isn't a movie! This is real life!"

"Calm down At, you know how John is. He makes jokes when he is nervous," Jet said as he tried to comfort the blond only to have her walk away, "Nat!"

"Go after her, make sure nothing happens," Christy replied. Jet nodded and ran after the blonde girl.

"So you were saying?" Luke asked.

"Right. When we came here there was nothing different about this place. It was just the same old same old. We went swimming in the lake had a cookout, even fished. But the first night we were here, one of our members went missing."

"What happened?"

"I was awake that night, I have trouble going to sleep. So I watched the lake from my window, the water were still, not a ripple in them. Then I heard someone walk out and down to the living room. I figured they must not have sleeping trouble as well so I didn't bother calling to them. But then I heard the main door open, it locks didn't even click, the door just opened on it's own. I looked out and saw one of my friends walk towards the lake. And the blink of an eye the lake was no longer empty.

"There standing just a few feet above the water was a woman dressed in white. My friend walked into the lake, he didn't stop. He walked deeper and deeper until he was submerged fully. I screamed and woke everyone up. We ran downstairs but as we reached the door, it slammed shut locking us in. We took some time to unlock the door, the locks kept resetting. But by the time we got to the lake there were no bubbles coming from underneath the surface, and the water had gone still once again.

"But the figure in white was still there. And...and she looked like Jena."

"Whose Jena?"

"Josh's dead sister, "John explained taking over for Christy who was tearing up, "Josh is-was, the man that walked into the lake. His sister died two years ago in a car crash. He showed us pictures of her, we know what she looked like. And I swear the thing we saw right above the lake, the figure in white, was Jena. There was no doubt about it."

"So the spirit of a dead girl killed Josh?" Percy asked.

"No," Christy said wiping her tears away, "no. Something else did. Something inside the lake killed Josh."

"That night we all saw Jena, but Christy….well she saw something else," John said turning to the wheelchair bound girl.

"When I looked at the lake the image of Jena flickered, like a projection. What I did see was a face looking up from the lake and right t us. The face was blue and I could see it had green hair like seaweed. But the most disturbing thing about it was...was the fact that it's eyes were red. They were blood red."

Percy looked at Christy again, this time he used Observe;
