I'm stiff and have no idea what to do. The gorgon starts coming towards me. I run frantically to a crowd of people hoping that I'll lose the gorgon. She's right behind me and I'm running out of breath.
I would rather die then have to run. At least I think I would.
As I reach the crowd, they all look at the gorgon chasing me. They don't scream. They don't run. They just go back to their conversations.
WhaT!? I'm being chased by a STUPID UGLY MONSTER AND THEY JUST STAND THERE!?
I turn around and the gorgon lunges towards me. Suddenly, my back starts stinging. I can feel blood dripping down my back.
GOD DAMN IT. Ok ok think. I need to think. Ok greek mythology what did I learn??? Uh...um. People are turned into stone when they look into the eyes of the gorgon. Ok don't look into her eyes…What else?!?!
As I get closer to the crowd, the gorgon gets back up and keeps chasing me.
This bitch just won't give up will she? Well then fuck her.
"You pathetic child. You can't escape me." the gorgon hissed.
"Guess we'll see about that you MOTHER TRUCKER." I yelled back.
I jostle through the crowd of people and hear complaints.
"Oh shut your goddamn pie hole." I replied.
I realized that the gorgon had trouble to get through the crowd.
Haha. Fuck you.
Instead of making fun of the gorgon for getting stuck in the crowd, I keep running out of fear of being caught.
The gorgon eventually catches up to me and starts yelling. "JUST GIVE UP. YOU ARE WORTHLESS. NO ONE LOVES YOU. NO ONE."
It's not true. It's not true.
We reach a pond used as decoration for the university. I try to find any other way to escape the gorgon but my only choice is to jump into the pond.
I can feel the cold water surround me. For a second I feel calm. But then the gorgon bitch jumps in right after me. I can feel her scratching my back and arms.
Fear is replaced by anger and I thrash in the water. I feel a rush of power and then everything just stops. As if time itself was stopped. The water starts to fill up my lungs so I reach the surface.
I open my eyes to find two people about my age standing right in front of me. The girl had her blond hair up in a ponytail and gray eyes. The boy had black hair and eyes the color of the ocean.
I looked at them both with wide eyes. The girl was the first to speak.
"Hey. I'm Annabeth. And he's Percy."
