- Argh!” Thalia pushed me, and a shock went through my body that blew me backward ten feet into the water. Some of the campers gasped. A couple of the Hunters stifled laughs.
- “Sorry!” Thalia said, turning pale. “I didn’t mean to—”
- Anger roared in my ears. A wave erupted from the creek, blasting into Thalia’s face and dousing her from head to toe.
- I stood up. “Yeah,” I growled. “I didn’t mean to, either.”
- Thalia was breathing heavily.
- “Enough!” Chiron ordered.
- But Thalia held out her spear. “You want some, Seaweed Brain?”
- Somehow, it was okay when Annabeth called me that— at least, I’d gotten used to it—but hearing it from Thalia was not cool.
- “Bring it on, Pinecone Face!”
- I raised Riptide, but before I could even defend myself, Thalia yelled, and a blast of lightning came down from the sky, hit her spear like a lightning rod, and slammed into my chest.
- I sat down hard. There was a burning smell; I had a feeling it was my clothes.
- “Thalia!” Chiron said. “That is enough!”
- I got to my feet and willed the entire creek to rise. It swirled up, hundreds of gallons of water in a massive icy funnel cloud.
- “Percy!” Chiron pleaded.
- I was about to hurl it at Thalia when I saw something in the woods. I lost my anger and my concentration all at once. The water splashed back into the creekbed. Thalia was so surprised she turned to see what I was looking at.
