'Apparently, "Here" means the middle of nowhere' Percy thought as he watched the Greyhound drive off, leaving them near nothing but Forest. "Okay, almost there." Thalia said "Right up that hill and we're home fre-" She shouldn't have said that. Before she knew it she was being chocked by something. Chocked isn't the right word per say. More like smothered. It's fist was that large. It covered her entire face. The mighty beast roared...mooed.... As it proclaimed it's victory. Meanwhile our hero Percy Jackson was.. Standing still in terror. "Come on man, we got to help her!" Nico ran forward, weaponless but brave. 'Why should I help her!?! I could die! Rather one die then...-no better than Gabe-' That thought chard him. He rushed forward; as he did it began to rain. Both Thaila and Percy felt a flood of pure power; though only one knew why. The water seemed to harden around Percy's fist, making it deadly. Both Percy's punch and a lightning bolt diving down from the heavens at Thaila's command struck down the once mighty beast. Just like that, the Minotaur was no more. The rain stopped. Percy passed out. Thaila passed out. Nico still stunned at what happened thought to himself 'How did Percy get ahead of me? I started running way before him. He ran so fast when it started to rain it's mad! No matter, I have to get them somewhere safe. They did they're part, I do mine.' He dragged there motionless bodies with much difficulty might I had; to what looked to be a farm house. He barely got there by the time he felt himself loosing control of his body.
