Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan
Chapter 14: I Become a Known Fugitive
Written by Katlyn

Summary
Percy was falling fast into the water below. The impact he made was painless, not as he expected. He also realized, that he wasn't wet. Although he felt the cool of the water, his clothes were dry. He even lit a hamburger wrapper on fire while he was holding it underwater and then when he let it go it became moist again. And the most amazing thing was that he was breathing underwater. Percy found Riptide under the water as well. He heard a voice of a woman telling him to take the sword.

The woman appeared before him and told him that his mother's fate wasn't as hopeless as he thought and that he should go to Santa Monica beach. She also told him not to trust the gifts. Percy was confused by this but the woman disappeared before she answered. Percy grabbed Riptide and went to the surface. The news people were around the Arch indicating a possible terrorist attack. They also stated that a young boy started the trouble.

Percy found Grover and Annabeth who were desperate to know what happened. They were interrupted by one of the survivors, the mother, who pointed out that Percy as the boy who jumped from the Arch. The trio took off and Percy explained the whole incident. Grover told him they had to go to Santa Monica because Poseidon summoned it. They passed a reporter, who mentioned it was Percy Jackson who was involved in the 'terrorist' incident. They took off to the Amtrak train just as it was taking off from the station.

Quotes

I'd love to tell you I had some deep revelation on my way down, that I came to terms with my

own mortality, laughed in the face of death, et cetera.

The truth? My only thought was: Aaaaggghhhhh!


"Um ... thanks." Underwater, I sounded like I did on recordings, like a much older kid.

"Thank you ... Father."

What do you think might be at the beach in Santa Monica?
I honestly don't know.

Who do you think was the messenger that summoned Percy?
I have no idea. My mythology knowledge is not that great.

Why did the woman tell him not to trust the gifts?
To warn him about something. I don't know what the gifts are but they are probably deceiving.
