~Percy~
I walked out to Thalia's tree, Bianca and Ariella were already there waiting for me with Chiron.
"Percy, my boy, do you know where you will go?" Chiron asked.
"No, but I think Ariella has an idea. Don't you girl?' I asked picking her up.
She nodded and hugged me close.
"Well, we better get going." Bianca said making her way down.
"Yeah, let's not put this off any longer." I muttered carrying Ariella with me down to the SUV.
I put Ariella in her booster seat and got into the passenger side since Bianca wanted to drive.
"So Ariella do you know where we are heading?" I asked.
"Mhm, we go to Minnesota …near the Canadian border." She said.
"And you know this how?" Bianca asked.
"I had a dream, grandpa said to." Ariella said.
"Okay, then Minnesota it is!" I said as Bianca drove on.
~Couple hundred miles later~
I looked back and Ariella was fast asleep, her black hair covering her face. She looked so innocent.
"Bianca where are we?" I asked.
"I'm pretty sure we barely made it out of New York." She said.
"Cant' you shadow travel the car to Minnesota?" I asked…
"I can try…but I'll end up being extremely tired. An SUV is way bigger than Nico's car." She said.
"Well try and afterwards I'll drive." I said to her.
"Okay then…" She said and then drove the car into a tree…it did help that it was almost dark now anyway.
The car went through the shadow and the world went dark. There were creepy whispers and I felt like my face was going to peel off by how fast we were going. I heard scratches against the window and finally I saw the light…
No not that light. We broke out of that place and I saw the last rays on the sunset.
"Bianca did we get to-?" I started asking but then realized she was asleep.
I turned back and saw that Ariella was still sound asleep in the back. I got out of the car and took Bianca out of the driver's seat and put her in the passenger's seat.
I got in ready to drive when I heard twigs snapping.
"Bianca wake up." I said closing my door and trying to start the car to no avail.
"Bianca, the car won't start." I said shaking her but she still would not wake. She just laid there too tired to do anything right now.
There was a loud roar now. I turned the key in the ignition and prayed to all the gods that it would start. And finally it did. I started to drive down a dirt road like crazy trying to get away from whatever it was that seemed to be following us.
"Bianca! Ariella! Wake up please!" I yelled as I heard a tree crash down behind us.
"Huh? Pwercy, what's going on?" Ariella asked rubbing her eyes.
"Wake up. Bianca now." I said.
"Okay…" She said still a bit sleepy. She unbuckled herself from her seat and started shaking Bianca trying to wake her up.
"Uh…too tired…just another minute…please…" Bianca muttered sounding like Clovis.
"Bianca we need you now." I said.
There was a loud roar behind us to emphasize my point. Finally she woke up still sleepy from the shadow travel though.
"What? What's happening?" She asked looking around.
"There's something after us." I said driving like a maniac.
"What?" She said and turned around. There in his tidy whitey glory stood the Minotaur. This was all de ja vous.
"Well step on it! I'm too tired to do much now." She said.
"Well I am." I said and then a tree was thrown in the middle of the road causing me to swerve and make a sharp turn.
"Ariella, Bianca, are you all right?" I asked still driving.
"…that hurt." Ariella said rubbing her head but she seemed fine.
"Percy just drive. I can't shadow travel us out, I don't have enough energy." She said but got her bow and arrows.
"What are you doing?" I asked as she got up and opened the moon roof.
"Buying us some time." She said and stuck her upper torso out and began shooting arrows at the minotaur.
"Bianca! Be careful!" I yelled and drove on swerving now to get away from falling trees.
Ariella leaned out from the window and started shooting arrows too.
"Ariella get back inside this car!" I yelled.
"Percy just drive!" Bianca yelled and kept shooting arrows.
The minotaur was closer now. The arrows seemed to be doing nothing to it. It threw another tree hitting the rear view mirror and taking it down clean off. So close to hitting us…
It finally seemed to be right behind us and smashed the back of the car with his axe almost slashing Ariella too. I swerved to the left and got out of the car taking Riptide out with me. Time to take this guy on. Bianca and Ariella got out next to me and we charged at the beast. Bianca came at it with all she had but the axe kept her from getting close. Ariella was shooting at it but she was running out of arrows.
I slashed at the beast and jumped on his axe while he swung it at me. I launched myself at it from there and swung Riptide and cut his head clean off turning him to dust. I sat down in the pile of monster dust and sighed in relief.
Ariella was picking up arrows and getting out the ambrosia and nectar for us. Then I saw Bianca pass out from exhaustion.
I ran over to her. Ariella passed me the nectar and I poured a bit into her mouth. Her breathing stopped being ragged and she looked healthier.
"We are camping here for the night. Bianca is too tired to be moved right now." I said.
"Okay…Percy where are we?"She asked.
"I think we are near Minnesota." I said, "now take care of Bianca while I go get firewood."
A/N: That's all for now. Please Review. It would really make my day!
