A/N: I am writing this fanfiction, along with my other Percy Jackson and the Olympians fanfic : Here Comes the Sun my Divergent fanfic: Be Brave, Mia, for National Novel Writing Month as side projects from my original book. If updates seem sporadic or infrequent for the month of November, this is why. The last thing I want to do is update an unedited, short chapter, just to update. Now that this is over, enjoy!

Chapter: 3 The Stupid Minotaur

"Maybe if we just fly past it, they won't track us?" I ask hopefully. I look over to Grayson and sigh. He didn't even have to answer. There was no way out of fighting whatever was below us. we are demigods after all, right? We have to take care of all the things that are trying to kill us because our parent's can't even take the time to bring us to camp themselves. I know it sounds bratty, but if you can't take care of your kids, maybe keep it in your pants? As soon as I thought this, the air seemed to grow thicker and harder to fly through.

"Watch what you think young one." Honey says to me.

"What, why? Did I do this?" I ask holding onto him tighter as we slowly descend from high in the sky.

"No." Honey says.

"Well, kind of." Dew says.

"How?" I ask. Honey and Dew look at each other.

"Your father and Zeus are not very close." Dew begins.

"So watch what you think while you are in the sky." Honey mutters. I roll my eyes. Zeus must hate me now, well he probably hated me before. Just like my father most likely. Why else would my father not send anything, or let me know who I really am? At that thought, the sky grew deathly still. I must have been right. Rain begins falling from above us and before I know it we are on flat ground again.

"We're about a five miles away from camp now." Honey says.

"More like ten miles, Honey." Dew says. I roll my eyes and pull my dagger from my pocket.

"That sounds just lovely." I say sarcastically.

"What?" Grayson asks.

"We are either five or ten miles from camp." I say sitting down on a mossy rock.

"Seven miles, actually." He says before sitting beside me.

"Even better." I mutter.

"Do they have any idea as to what this monster could be?" Grayson asks and I look to Honey and Dew and raise a brow. They both shake their heads and I immediately feel guilty.

"Yall go back to camp." I say assertively.

"But princess," Honey begins but I shake my head.

"It's an order." I say standing to pat both Honey and Dew on their backs. "You two helped us a great deal, we should be able to make it back to camp on our own now."

"But we have no idea what monster it is milady!" Dew says, sticking his hoof in the ground and I smile.

"I took down the hydra basically by myself. I think with Grayson we can handle whatever is around here." I say trying to soothe them.

"Please do not get a large head, milady, when heroes do, they lose their lives." Honey says worriedly and I smile softly and rub their back a bit more.

"Thank you for the advice, Honey. I'm not getting a big head, just wanted to make you both feel better about going to camp. I normally get a really bad feeling when something bad will happen, and I am not getting that feeling now." I say before seeing Dew give what I can only expect is a yawn. "Now," I say firmly. "Off to camp you go. I'll bring you both some apples when I get there, yeah?" I ask. They both nod slowly.

"Stay safe milady." They say in unison before bowing.

"Both of you stay safe as well." I say before stepping away so they can take off.

"So," Grayson begins as he stands up slowly. "I'm guessing either they had no clue what it is or they are too afraid to continue this journey with us."

"The first one." I say coldly. I felt the need to protect the pegasi, to defend them. They felt like family to me. "They wanted to stay with us and help us fight, but they were too exhausted." I finish before grabbing my bag with the Hydra head and walking in the direction the two pegasi flew to earlier. I hear Grayson sigh and his footsteps behind me.

"Do you even know where you're going?" He questions.

"No fucking clue." I call over my shoulder. "Just going where life takes me, ya know I'll probably hitchhike to California after this summer since I won't be able to go home."

"I have a feeling you won't be able to do that." Grayson says walking faster to walk beside me before pulling my elbow and making us walk diagonally.

"And why do you say that?" I ask.

"It takes a strong demigod to attract the hydra." He says simply.

"So the fact that I attracted the hydra means that I'm a strong demigod?" I ask.

"Yes." He nods.

"What does that have to do with anything?" I ask as he leads me through a clearing of trees. He doesn't have the chance to answer, because there in a clearing of trees in Long Island, New York, stood the Minotaur.

"Is that the?" I ask dumbfounded. I look to my right and see Grayson slowly nod his head. "Holy shit." Is the only thing I can say. I see Grayson nod again before slowly backing away, I try to do the same, but step on a stick. Oops. I look to Grayson, panic fills his face and I'm sure the same panic is on mine as well, but I don't back away any farther. If this monster wanted to kill me, I would go down fighting. "Get in the trees!" I yell to Grayson as the large monster huffs smoke, it's eyes trained on Grayson.

"I'm not leaving you!" He yells back but I shake my head.

"You are too injured, it's highly illogical for you to try this Grayson, you know this." I say before crouching close to the ground.

"Bay." He tries to say but the Minotaur starts to run towards Grayson.

"Hey airhead!" I call out to the monster. Grayson give me a deer caught in headlights look and I yell to him. "Go get in a tree, now!" He nods quickly and limps towards the nearest tree and begins to climb it. The Minotaur looks at him before shaking its head and turning to me. It rears a leg back and runs straight towards me, I dodge it at the last moment but I'm still hit by its arm and I wince as I fall to the ground. I quickly stand up again and run towards the other side of the clearing. I then say one of the stupidest things that has come out of my mouth.

"I bet you can't get me, Minotaur!" The large monster's eyes flare up and it sets itself again before it barrels towards me. I dodge faster this time and jump on the Minotaur's back. I put the knife above my head and bring it down quickly into the back of the Minotaur. I feel the monster lurch again as it throws me off. The last thing I see is the monster turning to dust before I fade into the oblivion that slowly surrounded me.
