Chapter 98

Yup there it was, she was clear sighed. Percy leaned towards Luke and whispered, "she's clear sighted."

"You can tell?" Luke whispered back.

"Yeah. She gives off the same feeling Biggy in Boston gave off."

Luke nodded and then turned to Christy and John, "so what happened next?"

Christy sighed, "everyone began to panic. I tried to tell them about who I saw, but… they didn't listen. I don't blame them though, after all a dead girl had just killed her brother. But eventually one by one people started to die. We tried to get away in the cars but the batteries died. Then we tried to just walk away and back to town but we kept walking in circles. We became desperate as more and more people died by drowning one way or another. Some died in the lake like Josh. Others died while taking a shower or by getting their head bashed in b the sink.

"Now… now there are only four of us left."

"How many of you were there before?" Grover asked s he shook from fear.

"12. There was 12 of us that came to the cabin. We have been here for three days."

Percy's eyes went wide. That was why there were three cars outside. What did this? What killed 8 people in three days time? Percy looked at Luke, "what the hell is going on here?"

"I don't know Percy, but we are going to get to the bottom of this," Luke replied as he turned to Christy, "is there anything else you noticed? Anything strange?"

"No not really I-"

"NAT!" Jet's voice rang out from upstairs as suddenly a shadow flew down outside and a loud crack was heard.

Percy dashed outside and ran to the field, there face first on the ground was Nat broken form. Her neck was twisted all the way around with bones sticking out of her arms. Percy looked up and saw Jet near the open window upstairs. Only he wasn't looking at Nat, he was looking at the lake.

Percy turned and stopped in his tracks. There standing on top of the lake was Nat. Except she still had heck on straight.

"Nat?" Jet called out as he stepped out onto the window sill.

Percy's eyes widened in shock. He knew what Jet was going to do. He quickly turned to the lake to gather water from it, but for some reason he couldn't. The water wasn't obeying him, he strained his man but it was impossible, like breaking diamonds with your fist.

Percy then looked up just as Jet stepped off the window.

'Moisture control!' Percy thought as he quickly moved. He gathered all the moisture in the air and combined it into a layer of water that caught Jet just a few feet above ground. The water acted like jelly, with Percy controlling it of course, and slowly disappeared the moment Jet was safe.

"Nat come back!," Jet called out as he tried to get up and walk to the lake. Percy knew the boy wouldn't stop so he knocked him unconscious with a punch to the head.

With that taken care off Percy turned to the lake and there, just like Christie described, was a head with blue skin, green hair and blood red eyes.

The face started at Percy and Percy started right back. This thing killed 8, now 9 people. It then slowly began to go back into the water but Percy used Observe before it did;

Percy closed the box, 'Nokken huh?'

"Perc what happened?" Grover called out as the Satyr looked at Nat's broken body.

Percy turned and grabbed Jet's unconscious form and pulled him into the cabin, "I know what's killing them."

Percy put Jet inside under the watchful eyes of Christina and Luke while he, John and Grover went to bury Nat.

It was a difficult process but the girl deserved that much at least. John cried as he dug her grave while Grover and Percy remained silent throughout. Percy was once again painfull reminded that dead bodies to exist, they don't just turn into golden dust. It was a very humbling moment for Percy, one that he hoped he would never have to do for a friend.

Inside with Luke and Christy,

Luke covered Jet with a blanket and sat down on the couch as Christy wiped tears away for her dead friend.

"Crying won't help them," Luke said.

"I know. I know it won't help. But what else can I do? I am so… so-"

"-Powerless," Luke finished for her.

"Yes. All this time stuck in this chair," she hit the handle bar with her fist, "the only thing I am good at is watching my friends get killed in front of him eyes."

Luke looked at the girl and in that moment saw a little bit on him inside of her. "I know the feeling. That feeling of helplessness. That feeling that you can't do anything to help because something is holding you back. I know it very well."

"How?" Christy asked as she dried her eyes.

"I have a huge family, lots of cousins, siblings. But our parents aren't there for us. From a young age we have been forced to take care of ourselves," Luke's eyes then glossed as he remembered how his family was treated by the gods, how unjustly they were punished.

"So you all lived by yourselves?"

"In a way. Our parents were powerful people. They were always busy with something or the other, never even stopping to think about us. Sure they would remember our birthdays, give us toys and presents. But after that it was business as usual. I watched as the younger member of my family crack under this pressure. I saw them turn to drugs, I saw them get into stupid situations just to gain our parents approval. And I lost count of how many times I saw them die."

"You saw them die?" Christy asked horrified.

"There are more dangerous things out there than this thing in the lake Christy," Luke replied, "much more dangerous things. You have seen them before haven't you? the monsters that walk among us."

Christy looked down, deep in thought. All of this was to much for the girl, the pressure added on. The realization that all those things see saw in the corner of her eyes when she was young, all those things were real. The realization that everyday could be her last caught up to her as she felt fear grip her heart, "w-what are they?"
