Ellie's secret will be revealed soon. Maybe, in a few more chapters. Another thing, I hate begging for reviews but they would seriously help. I'd like to know how the story is from the reader's point of view. If there's anything wrong, please write a review and tell me. Maybe even message me if you'd like to talk. It doesn't matter but just know that I'd love to hear your feedback, thank you!

Well, on with the chapter!

Medusa and her Betraying Minion

I woke Samantha up. Waking her up actually took about fifteen minutes. She kept groaning and complaining, but I told her breakfast was ready and she shot out of bed, then out of the room. Of course, she came back with a sheepish smile on her face.

"Uh, where's the kitchen?" She blushed.

She'd changed when I went to the bathroom. Now, she was dressed in a red tee shirt, white skinny jeans, red vans, and a gray knit beanie. Her messy hair was a curl of tangles. It was normally straight, though. I slung my arm over her shoulder and grinned.

"Allow me to show you, M'lady." I joked.

She grinned as well, wrapping her arm around my waist.

"I hope they have bacon, my good sir." She said, faking a British accent.

"Well, madame-" She paused dead in her tracks and she paled. I looked at her with concern. "Are you O.K?"

"Do you hear that?" She whispers.

I get quiet and listen, not hearing anything. I'm about to say something when I hear it. Hissing.

"There shouldn't be snakes on the ship." I say.

"S-snakes? On the ship?" Her voice came out as a squeak and I felt her trembling.

"I-"

"Wrong. There is a snake on this ship. And she's standing right in front of you."

I turned to find a female with her hair wrapped up, wearing sunglasses. I could hear yelling. Brandon screaming for everyone to stay in their rooms.

"Medusa." I said, not knowing how I knew.

"Bravo, demigod. Now, prepare to be turned to stone. At least you and your terrified little girlfriend will be frozen in a cute position." She laughs evilly, unwrapping her head.

I see the snakes and I'm sure that Samantha sees them, too. As Medusa grabs her sunglasses, Samantha screams out of fear and Medusa flies all the way to the end of the hall. I turn and look at her and I see it. Her eyes, glowing the brightest of blue. She's scared and her powers are out of control. She continues to scream, falling to her knees. I don't know why until I see the blood on her side. I turn and find a boy with pale blonde hair and hazel eyes. He's holding a sword and suddenly he flies back into a wall. Another boy, one with brown hair and brown eyes, punches him in the face.

"Get her out of here! Now!" He screams, punching the other kid again.

I pick Samantha up into my arms and start to run, turning quickly down a hall. Samantha had stopped screaming and her eyes weren't glowing anymore. The odd thing is, she wasn't crying. I know it must have hurt like hell to be stabbed, so why wasn't she crying? I didn't spend too much time worrying about it. At least she was still alive, right?

"Brandon! Brandon! Help! Medusa and two weird guys are on the ship!" I yelled out, not caring how loud I was.

Brandon and Ellie came running out and Brandon took Samantha from my arms, gasping at the gash on her side. She was losing a pretty good amount of blood. I fell to my knees as Ellie ran out of the room. I barely heard Brandon yelling for her to come back. I felt someone touching my head, and I heard a faint little girl's voice telling someone to let her go. I looked up to see that it was actually Samantha telling Brandon to let her go. She got out of his grasp and came into my arms, hugging me.

I was scared to hug her back. I heard an explosion in the hallway and Katelynn and the twins came out. I know they were talking but I couldn't really hear them. Samantha and I just stayed quiet. We must have caught their attention, because I felt their gazes on us. One by one, I faintly heard them ask what happened. I faintly heard Brandon telling them he didn't know anything but that Samantha was bleeding. He told them to let us be and they did. I looked up and saw Ellie dragging in the two boys from earlier, both by their ears.

My eyes landed on the blond one and I saw red. I stood up quickly, my sword already out, and I was ready to charge him. Samantha stopped me, though. She'd stood with me and I heard her crying into my shoulder. Suddenly, the world wasn't so distant anymore. I could hear everything.

"Tyler, calm down." Jason was saying, holding my shoulders.

"Tyler, please don't. You're out of breath from running. You can't think straight, please don't." I heard Samantha crying.

My sword fell from my hands and landed on the floor with a clank. I wrapped both my arms delicately around her. I glared hard at the blonde boy who had nothing but the look of fear on his face. He didn't look as evil anymore, in fact he looked as though he couldn't kill a fly without throwing up his breakfast. I held Samantha in my arms and no one spoke until my eyes landed on the brown haired boy.

"Who are you?" I ask him, remembering how he helped us.

"I'm Perry." He says, staring at me as though he were trying to figure me out.

"Why did you help us, Perry?"

"My brother, Harvey, was under a spell by the snake lady. We're children of Hecate and she asked our mom for a spell to control people. She had Harvey's face hidden so mother didn't know."

"Well, as long as no one tries to kill anyone, you can stay."

"Thank you."

Then it was back to silence again until Samantha made a whimpering noise. I looked down at her to see her clutching her side in pain.

"We need to get her medical treatment." I say, lifting her bridal style.

"We don't have anyone who can he-"

"Oh, yes, you do." A male voice said. That's when I turned around and saw him.

Cliffhanger, yes. I would have updated sooner but Teen Wolf came on!
