Rebecca's Pov
When we arrived at this place Annabeth called "Camp Half-Blood" I thought it was a peaceful camp, and I was excited because I've never been to summer camp! But my dreams crashed just like that tree the Minotaur just stepped on. I can't believe it, two monsters! They must love me…. For lunch, but I'll take what I can get. Annabeth, Percy, Nico and hmm what was his name? I know it started with a G…any ways, they were fighting the Minotaur, I always cared for animals and a Minotaur is an animal… is it? I ran slowly to the Minotaur hoping he could hear me over the battle cries.
"Excuse me... ummmm mister Minotaur?" I asked making my voice as calm as possible "You are hurting my friend's home, May you please stop destroying the property?" I asked
The Minotaur looked at me confused, like it was the first time someone's been nice to him.
"I-I" he stammered and then finally ended up bawling
The crowd of campers put down their weapons and watched me as I went up to the crying Minotaur.
"Oh, don't cry, tell me what's wrong. We'll work it through together, violence is never the answer." I said, patting his brown fur.
"No one likes me! Even my own boss, he says I'm good for nothing... I have to prove to him, but I can't I feel so empty and …everyone is trying to hurt me!" he said taking breaths along the way.
"I'm sorry if everyone is trying to hurt you, but they are only trying to defend themselves. You shouldn't prove to your boss anything, if it means to be a bully. You should be nicer then probably people will not think your scary, but just a good friend. Here I'll be your first one." I said offering my friendship while he started to go in tears again "There, there you're not a bad Minotaur, you just made a bad decision that's all. If you're nice we can ALL be your friends!" I told him trying to avoid the glared from campers.
The Minotaur sniffled and picked me up.
"NO!" Annabeth yelled while Archers were ready.
But they out down their weapons when they realized the Minotaur were hugging me. I felt his brown soft fur brushing against my cheek. The Minotaur was gentle with me, as if I were a fragile piece of glass, putting me down with great care.
"Come on I'll tell you some nice stories." I offered and the Minotaur followed me to a nice tree. Annabeth stopped me halfway.
"How did you know he was lonely?" she asked
And I told her the truth "I didn't, but it doesn't hurt to be nice!" I walked to the tree where the Minotaur was waiting for me. And I told him Greek myths and legends until he fell asleep. I stood up and brushed grass off my pants, as Annabeth greeted me at the bathrooms.
" Come, we shall go to Chiron."
