Chapter 2: Two cultures meet
Three creatures were flying through the air. They all looked like old ladies except they had wings and where half of their skin was supposed to be, in its place were grey and white feathers and instead of feet they had talons. Those were Furies. They were about to lift up a hot dog stand and probably throw it and cause mayhem but before they could a silver object that looked like an arrow and a bronze object that looked like a dagger flew out of nowhere and hit two of the Harpies. Out of a crowed two girls stepped out, one holding a bow and arrow and one holding a dagger that looked identical to the one that had flown through the air.
"We should help them Carter," Sadie said.
"I agree."
Carter drew his sword and Sadie pulled a stick out of her bag that extended into a three foot long staff. The girl with the bow and arrow drew two more arrows from her quiver and shot at one Fury. The arrows embed itself right into the Fury's shoulder. The other girl, the one with the daggers, swiftly dodged the swiping talons of another Fury and then counterattacked by stabbing it in the thigh. While the other two were busy, Carter and Sadie dashed at the third one. Carter caught it off guard and slashed the back of its head. The Fury screamed in pain then lashed its talons at Carter. He blocked and then struck again, this time hitting the Fury's wing causing it to lose flight and hit the ground.
"I could use some help over here!" Carter yelled while slashing at the Fury who somehow managed to regain flight.
"I got it," Sadie replied.
She pulled some string out of her bag and threw it in the air. The string grew until it was as thick as rope. It wrapped itself around the Fury immobilizing it. Before the Fury could escape, Sadie took her staff, held it up, and said "Ha-Dai" and the Fury exploded and instead of feathers and guts, the Fury burst into powder. Sadie picked up her rope which had shrunk back into string and put it in her bag. Carter and Sadie turned around and saw that the two other Furies were reduced to dust and the two girls fighting them were staring right at them. The one that had the bow and arrows had choppy black hair, a silver hoodie, black jeans,and eyes as dark as storm clouds.
"Who are you and how could you see the Furies," she said.
"How about we learn your names before you start questioning us," Sadie replied.
"Fine, I'm Thalia and this is Annabeth," she pointed to the girl with the daggers. She had blonde hair, the exact same clothes as Thalia, and grey eyes that seemed to be processing a million things at once. "Now who are you two, are you demigods?"
"Demigods? Never heard of them. My name's Sadie and this is my brother Carter," Sadie replied.
"Never heard of demigods?" Annabeth said. "I think we should take them to camp, Chiron will know what to do."
"Why should we come with you!" Carter protested.
"Because either you come with us or we could kill you." Thalia said.
"Just one more question. Wh-" Carter said before Annabeth cut him off.
"We'll explain on the way."
