It was dark and cold, and very much to my liking. I grinned quietly (if that even makes sense) as I inhaled the midnight air, the wind blew briskly into my face, softly pushing black hair from my forehead. It was the most refreshing moment I've had since I arrived this school(besides being an ass to draco and or the 'Toad'). I turned to Hazel who chuckled at my expression. Percy, Hazel and I were on a little night raid. We were just covering school grounds to find and kill any hostile monsters that were out. And to be honest I couldn't have been more happier, I mean I didn't mind the safety the school provided, it was quite peaceful, but there was just a feeling of not doing and just lazing around that bothered me, it's the ADHD mixed with a bit of paranoia, a bit.
Percy just yawned and followed us lazily, dragging his long limbs along. "Someone please… tell me why we're here again?" The young adult whined. "To kick some monster ass," I replied excitedly, only to get slapped on the back side of my head by Hazel. "Language." I clicked my tongue and rubbed the back of my head. Percy kept whining, as we kept walking.
I enjoying the calmness of the forest when a loud crack startled me, stopping Percy's whining. "D'hear that?" Percy whispered, riptide in hand (In its dormant form: pen form) Hazel nodded, her amber eyes scanning the space around us, I followed her lead, keeping my breathing to a minimum.
In the corner of my eyes I notice a bush, shaking vigorously, unsheathing my sword and pointing it towards the bush. Percy clicked his pen, letting it morph into its full form and pointing it towards the bush. Hazel pulled out a dagger and was in defensive stance. The tension was thick, as I crept closer to the bush. "Come on out, lil 'bastard," I whispered to the creature.
As if on que a white fluff ball hopped out, as I held my sword high, ready to swing. "OH MY GODS!" Hazel screamed as she caught the little bunny. I was scared shitless; whether it was for Hazel or the fact I almost stabbed my foot while re-directing my swing.
"Nico! Look at-" Hazel exclaimed only to be interrupted by, of course, a large lanky were wolf jumps out from the bushes, scaring the little critter away and knocking me back into Hazel. It's limbs hung from its joints, like the heaviest chains. Its face looked mad (insane, rabid) and almost in pain. Its yellow eyes glowed from its sockets. Hazel screamed, I grunted as I hopped onto my feet, regaining my stance. Percy was already slashing at it. It barked and growled back, trying to find a chance to pounce on him. Stealthy I ran to Percy's assistance while Hazel was behind us looking for the little bunny, to check if it was injured.
As if it were trying to tell is something the rabid wolf man, whined and barked helplessly, but it was only before it completely froze and looked at the sky. It howled raggedly, as Hazel, Percy and I made our escape.
"Well this is a nice change of scenery."
"We're still in the forest."
"I was being sarcastic you, idiot," I rolled my eyes, not that they could see. Percy stayed silent as we head back to the castle.
