Chapter 21:
Author`s Note: So I wanted to wait until I finished this scene before posting it, that's what has been taking me so long to update, but I've been stuck. I have no clue how to finish this scene so maybe some of you can comment some ideas or PM. I swear I'll give you credit for the idea. Anyways this is what I have so far….
"I have to go to work, it was nice meeting you guys." Rachel told the kids as she walked away.
The kids waved good bye then started to walk toward their destination.
They walked in silent for a while. It felt like forever to Dylan.
"Guys please don't do this to me." Dylan said. "The only thing I lied about was my family. I`m still the same person you guys became friends with nothing has changed."
"How do we know that?!" Sam snapped. "How do we know who you really are, you did so well tricking us with your lie about your parents. How can we believe anything you say?"
"She's right we can't trust you." Alex agreed.
"Please! You guys are my only friends! Just trust me when I say I only lied about my family."
"Just shut up. Ok?" Sam said.
Just then Dylan saw a manticore across the street attacking a man who looked maybe in his 20s. The manticore was a winged monster with the head of a man, the body of a lion and a spiked missile-throwing tail. The man tried stabbed the creature with his sword. Then the manticore hit the man with its tail, he fell back. Dylan knew he had to help. He used his water ability to make the water in a nearby hydrant drench the manticore.
"Hey over here you stupid, bird….loin thing!" he called.
"Dude! Are you crazy!?" Scott yelled.
Dylan ran over to the bird, it tried to hit Dylan with its tail but he was able to jump out of the way. Then Dylan cut the creature in the neck, it even left a mark. The man started to get up, when the creature threw out the missiles from his tail. The missiles where aimed at Dylan but he ducked and it started to go right at the man. The missiles where still pretty far from Dylan and Scott, so Scott stood in front of the man and shot lighting at the missiles causing them to explode right there.
"I`m out of here! I`m getting way too old for this demi god shit!" the man said. Then he ran away like the coward he was.
The manticore charged at Dylan. Dylan spayed the creature again with water.
"Stop doing that!" the creature yelled.
Dylan laughed.
"Not a chance."
Then Alex and Sam ran into the battle and helped Dylan fight.
Annabeth, Darla, and Percy were driving to Iowa in order to help to tell Dylan what they discovered and help him defeat Hades. Even though they knew he was this powerful demi god they still wanted to help to make sure nothing bad happened to him, I mean he wasn't invincible only powerful. The car passes by the battle between the manticore, Dylan and his friends.
"Is that-"Percy started to say.
"I think so." Annabeth replied.
Annabeth and Percy get out of the car.
"Stay here!" Annabeth orders her sister.
"We have to help him! He is gana get himself killed!" Annabeth said to Percy in panicked tone.
"Wait no look."
Author`s note: so this where I'm stuck I was planning to have Percy and Annabeth see Dylan doing something super cool with his powers and beat the manticore, but I can't think of anything for him to do. Please help me!
