Chapter 1: The Minotaur
Hayden peered into the woods. He had seen Jack go in there shortly after Capture the Flag. He turned worried eyes on Hunter.
"Where's Jackie?" he asked his twin. "He knows not to go in the woods! Especially this close to dark!" Hunter just shook his head in reply.
"I'll be right back," he says and runs to their cabin. Thirty seconds later, he appears with his sword. Hayden swallowed and pulls out a long dagger. Looks like they'd be playing hide and seek. Just like when they were younger.
"We have to find him," says Hunter. He starts walking in the woods. His grip was tight on the hilt of his weapon. Jack di Angelo was no fool. He knew not to go in the forest alone because there were monsters. The older boy hoped his Sea Prince had brought a weapon with him.
Hayden stared at Hunter. The younger boy can tell that Hunter was worried. Hayden could tell by his posture. His twin stood rigid, his hands gripping the word tightly. He hoped they would find Jack soon. The harpies would be coming out soon.
"Hunter?" the younger twin asked. Hunter turned around and put a finger to his lips. Both could now hear quiet sobbing. The older boy pointed at where the sounds were coming from. Both were pretty sure it was Jackie.
Hunter led the way, his blade glittering in the sunset. They didn't have much time. The older twin crept towards the sound. He stepped into a clearing and saw a figure. It was very lean and shorter then both of the twins. He had sun-kissed skin and dark locks of hair. The boy turned towards the twins, and green eyes stared at both of them surprised.
"Hunt, Heist?" Jackson whispered. Hayden dropped his dagger and ran over to the younger boy. Jack had cuts and bruises all over his body.
"What happened, Jackie?" Hayden asked. The raven haired boy started whimpering.
"Some Ares kids," he mumbled. Hunter frowned.
"What did they do?" he growled. "Why did they do it? Who? I'll kill them!"
Jack looked at the glowering boy. "After Capture the Flag, some boys came up to me after the game. They said I was a slut for getting pregnant at sixteen. Said I was doing both of you at the same time, and you two didn't know. They said I was stupid because I should've used protection. Now I'm a teen mom."
Hunter glared at a tree, furious that someone would say that about his lover. He would kill them. Or even better, he would tell the di Angelos and they would help him too. Nico di Angelo will not be happy. And Percy, oh gods. Hunter started to sympathize for the Ares kids, before remembering what they said to Jack. Never mind. He will kill them slowly beside the di Angelos.
"Who?" said Hayden. "Did they beat you up?"
Jack's eyes were downcast. "Yeah, they beat me up," he whispered. "Nick Monson, Mark Cruz, Bryce Andrews, and James Pomeroy."
Hayden gasped and hugged their Sea Prince. Hunter stood straight up. Something didn't feel right. He tightened his grip on the sword, looking around. The older boy stepped closer to his two lovers. He felt adrenaline rushing through his veins. Hunter heard a growl from the woods.
A monster emerged. It was half man, half bull. From waist up, it was a bull. It appeared to carry no weapon, aside from it's gleaming horns on top of the bull head. The beast pawed at the ground and lowered it's head. Hunter glanced at the discarded knife. If he could grab it, he could throw it at the hulking figure. The boy grabbed the dagger and threw it the way he'd been taught at camp. The Minotaur had started charging at him. The knife flew through the air, and the blade sunk to the hilt in the monster's side. The beast roared in pain, and it turned it's eyes on Hunter. Light green eyes widened as the Minotaur charged him again. This time though, he had no knife to throw.
"Hunter!" screamed Jack. It was a terrified, anguished scream. Hunter was standing there, his jaw set in place as the brunette got into his fighting stance. Hayden's eyes widened. Did his twin have a chance?
The space between the monster and the boy was getting smaller drastically. As the Minotaur met Hunter, the trickster sidestepped it and sliced off one of it's horns. The Minotaur turned, it's red beady eyes glaring hatefully at Hunter. It pawed the ground and charged again. The brunette ran to meet it. Just before the hulking figure gorged Hunter, the boy jumped off a rock and landed on the Minotaur's head. He held on to it's remaining horn, but while the monster bucked around. Hunter raised his right hand and brought it down into the Minotaur's neck. The beast wailed as it burst into dust.
Jack stared wide eyed at his oldest lover. He was covered in dust. Hunter was breathing heavily, and he limped to get a horn from the floor.
"Hey, the other horn is with my mom!" he exclaimed. Hayden grinned at the enthusiastic boy in his arms.
"Who can say they defeated the Minotaur and got the same thing Percy Jackson got," smirks Hayden. Hunter's eyes were wide.
"Percy Jackson?" he said in wonder. Jackson laughed.
"He is going to be your mother-in-law," stated the boy, and the brunettes laughed.
"Can we come to your house, Jackie?" questioned Hunter. "I need to ask your dad something." Jack smiled happily.
"Of course," he responded. "I'm glad you two are getting along!"
Hunter chuckled at the irony. Hopefully he and Mr. di Angelo will have a good bonding session with confronting the sons of Ares.
Author's Note: So this is an AU of the part where the Hoods and Jack are attacked by the Minotaur in my story 'Just Another Day at the di Angelo Household.' This is after Jack finds out he is pregnant and him being bullied. Next chapter will have the Hoods, Nico, and Percy 'bonding' by visiting certain sons of Ares.
