AN: This is my first fanfiction. Hope you enjoy!
"What are you doing during the holiday Struan?" Asked Stanley nervously.
Stanley was tall for his age, he has curly brown hair that always hides under a cap of some sorts. He has a leg deformation consequently giving him a limp. I looked at him. I really didn't want to answer that question, i have told no one about my life for good reason.
"Dunno." I wonder why he needs to know.
"How about you come to mine?" something tells me that he wants me over for longer than the summer.
"Yeah good idea." Even if this is some kind of trap it is better than staying home with my foster parents, i planned on running away anyway. just like usual.
For the last week of school everything has been ordinary. Kids running around collecting things, forgetting things, shouting to friends. Teachers trying to keep everyone in line. Normal. Until Stanley and i were leaving. We decided to take a taxi to his house. He seemed nervous, his eyes were darting around, looking at the window then the floor, then the driver. He was bobbing up and down so much i felt sick.
It felt like hours of driving through the city, but that was probably just my ADHD, although, with nothing to do it was so boring. Eventually we reached a deserted country road. i looked at the driver. He had a navy blue chauffeurs cap on and a black suit, as if he were driving a limousine not a cab. He had a mob of dirt-blonde hair under his cap.
"Why have we stopped?" Stanley was even more nervous now, he was sniffing the air like a dog then immediately scrunching up his nose.
"Struan. We have to go. NOW"
"Nice try little satyr but you are to late, just like the goddess herself, the sun sets on everyone, night is inevitable."
Satyr? As in Greek goat thing? Goddesses? this guy is insane.
"Struan, come on!" with that i am pulled away from my thoughts. Stanley and i run out of the taxi, just in time to see it explode in a cloud of purple.
"Stanley? What did he mean about Goddesses and satyrs?"
"I'll explain later but for now run." When Stanley took off i realised something very strange, instead of feet he had hooves! and instead of legs, a hairy goats backside was there. Stunned i stayed where i was, i was not going to follow 'goat bot'.
However the alternative didn't seem much better.
Emerging from the cloud is a dog as big as myself. He had silky black fur, a leather collar studded with spikes. the scariest part wasn't the emptiness of it's eyes or the blood covering it's claws, but its heads. Yep thats right. Heads. two of them, as big as basketballs. For a moment i think of Cerberus, but Cerberus had three heads not two. Thick strings of saliva dripped from its mouth poisoning the ground at its feet. Upon deciding the goat was a better option i ran towards Stan. He had his reed pipes held to his mouth and was playing a tune. Frankly i didn't see how Beethoven 5th symphony was going to help the situation.
I scrambled up the hill behind him and found refuge behind a single tree. In the valley beyond were all sorts of weird and wonderful things. The first thing i noticed w-
"AAagh!" my thoughts were once again cut off as Stanley was nearly made into a goat pie. As much as a two-headed dog scared me i was not going to let it hurt my friend. I charged not entirely sure what i was going when suddenly as if it were raining, cheese fell from the sky. It piled around the dog with alarming speed encasing it in a sticky tower. I stopped. Stanley looked back and forth from me to the cheese. I looked back and forth from the cheese to Stanley. A suddenly as it had began the cheese stopped hurling from the heavens. Behind us a man ran over with a sword in his hand. He came to a halt.
"Orthrus?" He seemed more confused by the dog than the cheese.
"Percy. My master has given me orders to... find a very special person." Orthrus looked at me. It was hard not to laugh when a dog is covered head to toe in your favourite food.
"Has Euryton still got his horses?" This was said by a woman who materialised next to the man. She had long blonde hair and stormy grey eyes, a New York Yankees cap in hand.
"Endless night. There is nothing you can do about it." With that The man decided it was over and Drove his sword into the gap between the dogs head.
