My Random Story :) 3

Emily was just walking home when HE ran into her.

She was just casually walking home around 10 pm when a flash of black sent her flying towards the ground. When she registered what had happened, she opened her eyes to have dark brown ones looking into her blue-green-gray ones. She just looked at him confused until he spoke, "You have to get out of here! You're not safe!" He shot up quickly, and held his hand out to her. She took, it, and then got up.

He didn't let go of her hand, he just started running down the street, bringing her with him. "Hey! Hey! If someone is trying to kidnap me, at least let me know their name!" She yelled, trying to derail her attractive kidnapper.

"Just come with me, and you'll be safe." He said, stopping for a moment to look at her.

"Fine; I'll come with you if you tell me these things: Your name, what you plan on doing with me, and why am I not safe?" She yelled, frustrated. He stopped and looked at her again, and then sighed and gave in.

"Okay, my name is Nico Di Angelo, I am planning on keeping you safe with my friends, and the reason you are not safe is because of that." He pointed towards the top of the hill, and lone and behold, a giant moving thing, or should be correctly called, a minotaur, was running towards them.

"What the, what the, what the heck is going on here!" She shouted, frozen in place, with a fidgety Nico taking her hand again and trying to pull her forward, but she couldn't move. He sighed and picked her up and slung her over her shoulder.

"Hey! What the- AHHH!" She was cut off by the Minotaur tearing right past her and Nico, missing them by an inch. "I'M GOING TO DIE!" She yelled.

Nico set her down behind a car and said, "No, you're not. Just wait here. I'll be back to get you." He gave her a small reassuring smile, revealing sparkling white teeth. Then, he ran out to the street towards the Minotaur.

She watched him heroically run towards the Minotaur, unsheathing a black Stygian iron sword in the process. She smiled as his hair flopped from side to side as he ran. She was also thinking about how this guy plows into her and then tries to save her life, and she already felt connected to him. It felt weird to her, though, because she was only almost 13 years old, and she felt bonded with a guy she barely even knows. While she watched Nico block a few charges from the minotaur, she noticed a cut in her arm, probably from her collision with Nico. She decided since the minotaur was distracted by Nico, it would be safe for her to walk to where her and Nico collided to see what cut her arm.

When she reached where they ran into each other, she saw a single bronze colored knife type thing on the ground, with a little bit of blood on it. She thought, 'Well, this sure is nice. This guy claims to be saving me, but so far I've discovered that he had two weapons on him at the time. How great!' She examined the knife, but somehow, she knew that it wasn't just bronze colored and made out of bronze, it was made out of celestial bronze. She knew that like she knew what Nico's sword was made out of. It actually kind of freaked her out. She got pulled out of her thoughts when she heard Nico yelling, "Whatever you name is, get your butt back here!" He sounded out of breath and stressed, so she ran back up the hill, remaining in the shadows.

When she got to the top, a heavy breathing and angry looking Nico came stomping over to her. "What in the name of Hades is wrong with you?" He half scolded-half asked her. She smirked as she replied, "First of all, my name isn't 'Whatever your name is', it's Emily." He glared at her, but couldn't help but smile.

"Follow me, please." He said with surprisingly good manners. "I'll take you to my friends' and I's place. Don't worry, I already spoke with Amy about why you aren't coming home. She understood."

"She understood that I am being taken to a random place for a reason that I don't know with a guy that I don't know? That sure is nice." She responded with a laugh. Nico laughed too, but then his face got all serious.

"Listen, I should tell you why I am taking you, shouldn't I? I guess I should. Well… I don't know how to say this, but… you are a demigod and my friends Annabeth, Percy, and I were sent on a quest to retrieve you. When we reach my place, we're gonna crash for the night then we're gonna head to Camp Half-Blood, where there are other demigods there. Camp Half-Blood is a safe haven for demigods, considering things like the minotaur attack them. Are you getting all of this?" He asked after his mile long explanation. Emily had a blank expression on her face as she was trying to process all of this information. She finally nodded her head yes. "We should get going." She said, beginning to walk again, as she stopped when he started his explanation. They walked towards his humble abode together, talking about random things, happy that they had someone to connect to.
