On a warm summer night there was an unsettling silence. It was broken with the roar of a familiar Greek stalker. The Minotaur. The half bull-half man in the Fruit of the Loom underwear that, surprisingly is always white, crashed though the streets of New York, chasing after a young woman.
"Where's a weapon when you need one?!" She cried helplessly. She turns into an alley. "Good thing this isn't a dead end. " She mutters, " I should have snatched my frying pan" She trips over nothing and falls down. She almost dropped the baby in her arms. Luckily she just landed on her knees. Unluckily she hurt her knees so she could barely get up.
She laughs in spite of herself. "This is so cliche." She sighs and crawled to a wall of the alley and sat the baby boy down. She kissed his head. "Don't worry Perseus-" The baby started crying and she laughs."-Percy" He stopped crying and looked at her as if to say continue. "Don't worry Percy. I promise that I will come back." She spoke with a look of determination on her face. "I love you Percy. She heard the Minotaur before he came, thanks to diffraction, so she had a slight heads up.
She looked around and saw a trash can. She crawled to it and took the lid. When it finally came into view, she threw the lid and knocked his left horn off. It screamed in pain and rage. Not yelled, it screamed. The lady threw her hands up and yelled "Score!" The Minotaur growled and came at her. She took one look at baby Percy and looked back at the monster. It swiped at her as soon as her eyes closed. The only thing she was thinking was 'Swiper no swiping!" She dissolved into golden mist confusing the monster. They both didn't know that a teenage girl was standing there watching the whole time. She was in shock and couldn't move a muscle. She quickly snapped out of it and looked around. Her body seemed to go into auto pilot as she spotted it's missing horn. She snatched the horn up and ran at the Minotaur. She jumped up and pierced it with its one horn in its back. He couldn't even yell out in pain before he was dust.
"..Is that where dust comes from?!" She made a face. Then she just stood there staring at the over cooked ground beef of a monster before her eyes widened. "What in the living heck just happened?!" She whispered to herself. She looked up and saw a pair of small sparkling sea-green eyes staring back at her. She slowly walked to Percy while brushing monster dust off of herself. She saw him wrapped in a blue blanket with tears coming out of his tear ducts and looked back at where his mother was 'killed'.
"Aww man, that was your mother wasn't it?" She looks back at him and saw his little baby face looking all sad. She grinned making him giggle. "Well, being a good citizen, looks like I'll take ya in. Come on." She picked him up and started walking.
She stopped at an old apartment building. She went in and locked the door back.
"People! I'm home! With a baby!" She tried not to laugh as she heard multiple feet thunder towards her from all directions. Soon around 17 different kids stood around her.
"A BABY!? What the heck?!" A girl about the same age as her yelled.
"Now now Santasha." A 4 year old girl said with her hands on her hips. Santasha laughed.
"I didn't have him so don't worry. But ya'll won't believe what just happened." She told them.
