CHAPTER 3

Percy POV

When I said I was kind of right I meant in that we didn't find anything, but something found us. It started up with us three splitting up to search the town, I took the right, Thalia took the middle, and Nico took the left. Thinking back on it I wish that we had never split up because it nearly got us killed. I had just given up hope that we would find something and was about to go back to our motel room that we rented when I heard Thalia scream. Instantly I sprinted towards we I heard the scream come from to see Nico and Thalia cornered in a small alleyway by a Hydra. When Thalia saw me she yelled "Well don't just stand there, do something seaweed-brain!" So, I uncapped riptide, and tried to attack the monster with out cutting off one of it's heads. I failed which resulted in me accidentally cutting off all of it's heads. That was followed by several insults from Thalia and Nico that I would rather not repeat. Then, we combined our powers and attacked the hydra together, Thalia shocked it with lightning, I sent a tsunami at it from the sewer below me, and Nico opened a giant rift in the ground which closed after the Hydra fell into it. Afterwards, we found out that using our powers together like that destroyed the entire town and that we were standing in the middle of a giant crater. We were speechless as we looked at the destruction that we caused in what used to be a small Kentucky town. Finally, Nico broke the silence by getting a big mischievous grin and saying "Well that was fun" Which caused Thalia to scream at him "THAT WAS FUN! WE JUST DESTROYED OUR ONLY LEAD YOU LITTLE-" " Wait who's that" I asked, cutting off Thalia's rant and saving Nico, while pointing at a lone figure who was staring down at us. Then, he took off running after he saw that we had noticed him. We all ran after him, and we eventually cornered him by a cliff. "Who are you" I asked him, " I am but a pawn in his master plan, it's too late too stop him, Perseus, He's already too powerful, you will not live to see your friends ever again" he replied, then as I was about to teach this punk a thing or to he disappeared into the shadows. I gasped and started to ask "Did he just shad-" I was cut off by Thalia and Nico nodding, both with a grim expression on their faces. We sat there in silence for a few minutes trying to comprehend what we just heard and saw, then Nico said " I think I know where he's going" Me and Thalia just looked at Nico and he answered our question before we could even ask it " He's going to Mount Tam in San Francisco" Nico said. After deciding that Nico's hunch was our best (and only) lead, we packed up what supplies we had that survived our battle with the Hydra and started walking on our way to find some sort of transportation.

Thalia POV

Well, after me nearly killing Nico tension was high among us to say the least. I decided as much as it killed me inside I would have to apologize to Nico. "Hey, Nico" I said " Sorry for losing it on you back there, I was just afraid that we wouldn't be able to continue our quest and find our friends" "That's okay" Nico said. Then, after a while, Percy said " We need to make sure that what happened back there doesn't happen again, I don't think we should use our powers together, unless it's an emergency." Nico and I just nodded in agreement. As we were walking we saw a light up ahead, so we ran to it. It turns out that it was the porch light of a random little hut in the middle of nowhere, my instincts screamed to me that something bad would happen to us if we didn't leave right now. Just as I was about to tell them how I felt about this place, the door creaked open and inside was a creepy looking old lady who said "We've been waiting for you young demigods."

Then the old lady yelled into the house "Euryale, our guests are hear.""Coming Stheno" came the reply. Those names sounded awfully familiar but I couldn't remember where I heard them before… Then when the other one came I remembered where I heard those names before, they were the names of Medusa's two sisters! I had to warn Percy and Nico, but Right as I told them to run the other gorgon got to the door and speaking together they said " Perseus you have killed our sister, so we are going to kill you!" then they lunged towards us, but we were already running. Then, right as we were about to lose them Sea-weed brain tripped, and the gorgons were upon him. I don't know what came over me but I felt a type of anger that I have never felt before well up in side me, then I yelled "STAY AWAY FROM HIM!" Then, I passed out.
