Ch.3 Grover"s POV
Once Nico showed me the light coming from the window, I picked up a demigod scent. It was strong and powerful it seemed so familiar. I couldn't figure out what exactly it was, but I knew that it was coming from the abandon house and I had to check it out.
"We have to go inside that house." I told Nico. Before he could respond, I started walking towards the door. When I reached it, I caught another scent. This scent was different though. it smelled like...an old monster? I wasn't sure if my nose was tricking me because I didn't think anything that old would be here. As soon as Nico reached the porch, I could sense his emotions change from confused to worried. Since I am a satyr, I can sense things like people's emotions. I opened the door and walked through before I could change my mind. I knew I had to go in, no matter what I had to find out what that smell was. When I walked in, the first thing I noticed was the girl.
"Who-who are you?" she asked, " why does he have furry legs?". Okay, she's not mortal, she can see my legs.
"Hey!" I said offended. Oh right, she doesn't know yet.
" I'm Nico Di Angelo, and this is Grover Underwood." explained Nico.
"Are you going to hurt me?" she asked.
"No, I don't think that's necessary."Nico replied.
She relaxed at that statement.
"Good, so why does he have furry legs?" She asked remembering her previous question. (A/N: dejavu much? XD)
"My legs are furry because I am a satyr." I declared.
"A satyr like those half-man half-goat mythical creatures from the Greek myths."
"I am not a creature!" I huffed.
"Grover, calm down. She doesn't know yet." Nico said.
"Um, I don't know what?" she questioned.
"You know those Greek myths?" I said.
"Yeah, the gods and goddesses like Poseiden, Zeus, Hades and the rest."
"Um yeah...they aren't myths."
"What do you mean they aren't myths."
"I mean those Greek gods and goddesses are real."
Amelia's POV
The gods are real? What is he talking about? They're just myths right? No way they could possibly be real. Well saytrs weren't supposed to be real either...no no, the gods aren't real.
"Think about it, the gods are supposed to be immortal right?" Thunder started to rumble in the distance.
"Sorry, jeez." he mumbled.
"Yeah, so what does that have to do with anything?" I asked, answering his question with a question.
"Do you know what immortal means?" he asked.
"Noooo." I said usimg my best sarcastic voice/ face combo.
"Well it means-" he started.
"I know what it means!" I shouted, interrupting him.
" Oh well, if the gods are immortal, were do you think they went after the fall of Ancient Greece?" More thunder.
The boy in the back that had came in with goat boy just rolled his eyes.
I started to understand what he meant. Well, actually, now that i thought about it it did explain all of those things that had been happening to me lately. All the monsters that had been chasing me, well i thought it was just me going crazy, but appearantly not.

All the monsters that had been chasing me, well i thought it was just me going crazy, but appearantly not. But why was he telling me this? It's not like any of this had anything to do with me, right?
All of a sudden I heard a low growl coming from upstairs. The boy in the back stood up and pulled something out of his belt. The thing he was holding looked like a sword. Its edges were sharp and it looked as if it could kill someone with a single swipe. When he held the sword up, I felt the air drop 10 degrees.
Goat boy straightened to, but unlike his friend, he seemed really really scared. His eyes went slit and he started sniffing the air. All of a sudden,he stopped sniffing the air. His eyes widened and he began to back away.
" Grover what's wrong?" the boy asked. Goat boy just continued to back away muttering, "Impossible, that's never happened before." I wanted to follow him and run away, but the growl had frozen my legs in place.I saw the boy start going up the stairs.I don't know what possessed me to do it, but I started following him instead. I tried to turn around but it was like I had no control over my body.
When I reached the top of the stairs, I saw what was the growling noise. It had the body of a very large dog. When I say very large, I mean like horse large. Its ears were square and it had forked tail. It didn't seem very friendly, in fact it seemed as if it wanted to tear me apart.
For a scary moment, there was a deadly silence. Then the thing jumped towards us. The boy charged it, but the thing was to powerful and it knocked him aside. I ran over to him to try and help, but he seemed to be unconscious. I didn't know what to do. I wanted to sit in a conner and cry, but I knew that would get me killed. I looked back at the boy and became filled with rage. Seeing someone who was just trying to help me hurt made me furious. At that moment, something came over me. There was a bright light, and the next thing I knew I had the boy's sword and I was charging the dog. A few seconds after, goat boy came in. I heard him say something like, "Her eyes, they're glowing."
The dog must have sensed I was distracted because he took the opportunity to make a pretty nice sized gash in my arm. In a final attempt, I slashed at the dog. It fell to the ground a few seconds after I did. I heard hooves coop over to me. Goat boy looked at me in bewilderment, but before he could say anything, I passed out.
When I woke up, there were 2 guys standing over me. The weird thing was that one of them had flurry legs and hooves. Even though I got a major headache, I sat up. That's when it hit me. Everything that had happened was real. The Greek gods and goddesses were real. Somehow, all of that had something to do with me. It was enough to make me almost want to pass out again, but goat boy wouldn't let me.
"We told you our names, but you never told us yours." he said. Since they had tried to help me, I supposed I owed it to them.
"My name is Amelia, Amelia Beaudare." (A/N:I changed her last name. It's pronounced bodare.)
"Well Amelia,if you don't mind, we would like to bring you to our camp."
"I am not supposed to-" I started. Before I could finish my sentence,goat boy grabbed my hand and held onto the other boy's shoulder.
"Here we go!" he shouted. All I saw after that was black.
What happens next?
