The Wrath of Ouranus: Chapter 14

Chapter 14
Luna's POV

I stared at Niobe's spirit form. She had a brownish tone to her skin and a dark aura surrounding her.

"What did you just do to my friend?" I yelled at her.

Niobe simply smirked and swirled around Josh as if he was a new toy of hers. She played with his hair, touching his face... And everytime Josh would fend her off or try to push her, she would just disperse and re-form.

"I can help you, Luna." She said, playing with a lock of Josh's hair, Josh tried to move away but she seemd to see it as a game. She laughed merrily.

"What do you mean?" I asked. Then I heard Annabeth groan, I looked at her direction and saw she about to faint. Niobe was pinning me down. "What do you want, Niobe? My mothers' powers again?"

She grunted at my sarcasm. "No Luna Silver." She said, leaving Josh and facing me, creating another wall around Josh. How did she get so powerful?

"I have enough power in me to take The Sky off of your friend over there," She snickered at Annabeth's direction before facing me, "So as long you give me Josh McLean."

"What?"

I can't give Josh just to save Annabeth, it was like bartering a gold for another gold with same karats. They were both my friends. But when I heard Annabeth's groans my head started to swirl.

"Decided now, Artemis' spawn."

I stared at Josh and mouthed, HELP.

He was still trying to find a way out of the invisible wall but couldn't find one weak spot. He stared at me with a look of persistence and when he nodded stifffly I made my choice.

"I agree to your terms." I told Niobe.

Niobe smiled and laughed happily, "Perfect!"

Suddenly, a strong breeze of wind circled Annabeth and started to lift The Sky off of her shoulders. Annabeth slacked and laid on the ground. I ran towards her, the walls were gone now.

"Annabeth?" She was sleeping. I sighed in relief.

Suddenly I heard a sound of gurgle from someone's throat. When I turned my head, Josh was wrapped in chrysó schoiní, the golden rope. "Niobe!" I screamed. But she was already carrying Josh into the sky with her.
