You know, I never thought my trip would be ruined like this. Museum being closed down due to a pandemic? Sure. A robbery occurred near the area? Makes sense, it is New York. But being attacked by a giant pigeon woman and my brother has to save us while holding an ancient sword? Never thought it could happen. Anyways, Sam and I manage to get out of the building and put her dad right next to his car. Outside of the entrance, police officers were blocking the civilians from entering the building and prevented any casualties from happening. One of the officers walked toward us and Sam's dad explained the situation. Except, he didn't tell the whole truth; all he said was that there was some crazy lunatic and that a trained specialist is dealing with the culprit. I wanted to ask why he lied, but my main concern is Percy's safety. Yeah, I was scared out of my mind with the fact that a mythological creature attacked us, and that I almost got killed by it. But right now, my brother, who's a son, a husband and a father, is inside, fighting that creature on his own.

"You're okay, dad." Sam said. "We're safe."

"For now," I implied. "But I need to go back and help my brother!"

"Don't!" Sam's dad yelled. "If he's what I think he is, then you'll just be in the way. He can get the job done."

"I don't care, that's my brother out there. And not just that, he's also a husband and a father, I'd never forgive myself if something were to happen to him!"

Just as I was about to head back, the front entrance erupted, showing Percy being lifted by the Vulture herself. Percy was struggling to get loose, but the harpy was also wounded. Percy must've wounded her inside. The two flew off towards National Park. I ran off while telling Sam to watch over her dad.

As I reach toward their location, I see Percy defending himself as the Vulture (Ugh, I really got to ask for her real name, someday.) flies down and attacks. Percy tends to roll or dodge to avoid her claws.

"Come on, Vulture. Is that really the best you can do?"

Vulture snarled.

She dashes forwards and Percy swung his sword at her. But, she dodge it and then kicks him off the ground. Percy groans in pain after he falls. The Vulture laughs in amusement.

"Seems age is starting to take its toll on you, Perseus Jackson."

"And yet, you still can't kill me."

Percy threw his sword at her, hitting her by the leg. She snarls in pain and flies up towards the trees. Percy got up and looked into his pocket.

I want to help him, but I have no idea how. I mean, first off, I don't have a weapon; I have no combat experience at all (Video Games don't count!), and what's worse, I'm starting to heat up. Sam said the spider wasn't poisonous, so why am I starting to catch a fever?!

Percy took out a pen from his pocket.

Really? A pen? He had a magical sword and now he only has a pen. What's he gonna do, write a formal complaint? He uncapped the pen and it transformed to the same sword that Percy threw. Well, you know what they say, The pen is mightier than the sword. Especially if it's ALSO a sword.

"What are you doing here, Vulture? What's your game?"

Vulture replied, "I was simply grabbing a snack while I was scouting. Then I found your sister, and then you came along. Seems fate really is on my side today. Not only will I get a half-blood, but I also get to make you watch as I kill your sister."

Percy frowned, "Don't you dare touch her. Your fight is with me."

Vulture smirked, "Exactly…"

She flies down again and tries to pin down Percy, but he dodged it and was gonna land a blow at her. But she predicted his movement and swirled around and used her wings to hit Percy.

The two were relentless, neither of them would leave an opening to attack. Seriously, where did Percy learn how to fight like that?! Never in my life have I seen this guy fight like that. At home, he's a nice guy with some idiotic behaviors. Remember the blue food? He loves them; even his own wife makes them for him. And don't get me started on his ADHD problems. One time, he and I were making a surprise cake for my parents' anniversary, and we ended up destroying the kitchen with dough. Don't ask how it started, we don't know.

You get what I'm trying to say? My lovable idiotic brother is fighting for his life against a mythological creature who has a grudge against him. Seriously, what did he do in the past? Is there like a whole series of books I can read about that?!

Percy starts panting as he loses his stamina just defending himself from the Vulture. The harpy on the other hand, was also losing her strength but she has the high ground.

Wait…

"It's over, Percy Jackson," She said.

No…

Percy replied, "You underestimate my power!"

Really, Percy? In the middle of a life or death situation, you had to pull a Star Wars Reference? No doubt about it, he's still my dorky brother.

Anyways, despite what he said, he was really in trouble. He needs to find a way out of this situation and stop Vulture.

"Oh, did I? I know your abilities, Jackson. Why do you think I cornered you in an area with no water nearby?"

Water? What does water have to do with Percy? I mean, he's a great swimmer and loves the sea, but how is that effective in battle?

Percy chuckled.

"What's so funny?" Vulture asked.

"You idiot, did you forget how trees grow?"

Percy slammed his right hand down to the ground and everything started to shake. I was getting wobbly but I noticed that the falling leaves, the trees nearby, even the flowers and grasses, were being drained. Droppings of water started to appear around Percy and began forming into shapes. Instantly, they formed into spear-like figures, aiming toward Vulture.

She cursed while Percy fired the water spears at her. She dodge a couple but got clipped by the third one and fell down to the ground.

I was shocked at Percy. I mean, he was able to control the water itself like a water-bender. Another thing I noticed is that Percy wasn't even wet. Both Vulture and I got wet from the sprinkles of water.

Another thing Percy has to explain.

As the Vulture gets back up, Percy points his sword right in front of her neck.

"It's over," Percy said. "You lost."

Vulture scoffed.

"You may have won for now, Percy Jackson. But soon, Olympus will fall. I guarantee it."

Olympus? Like Mount Olympus? The actual home of the gods? Is that real as well? Ugh, questions just keep piling up and I still have no answers to them! Anyways, Percy summons a small orb of water and it manifests into a rope-like material and wraps itself at the Vulture.

"Now, you stay here while I call the huntresses to pick you up. I really don't want to get involved with another world-threatening situation right now. Or ever," Percy said as he, somehow, caps his sword back into a pen and puts it back in his pocket and then takes out his phone.

"Also, Estelle, you're really bad at hiding."

I cursed silently and walked out in the opening.

"I thought I told you to get out of here," He scolded.

"Sorry, it's just, after everything that happened today, I couldn't see you handling something like that… no offense," I said, referring to the tied up harpy.

The Vulture snarled at me in hatred.

"When I get out of this, sister of Percy Jackson, I'll…"

"First off, the name's Estelle. Estelle Blofis. And second, my brother just whooped your sorry butt. So why don't you just be a good birdie and zip it."

She growled at me while Percy guided me further away from her.

"Estelle, please don't anger her anymore than she already is."

"Fine, but you're not out of the woods yet."

I mean, technically we're still in the park, but I meant it as an expression.

"Look, Estelle. I promise to explain everything to you soon. But right now, we need to get you home, safely."

"What about Sam and her dad?" I asked. "That harpy creature nearly killed them!"

"She must be a half-blood. That's not good," Percy mumbled.

"What's a half-blood?"

"Look, just go back with the Stacy's and get home safely. I'll deal with the Vulture and meet you back home. Okay?"

Suddenly, the Vulture started laughing.

"What's so funny?" Percy asked.

"You think I was alone this whole time?"

Suddenly, rumbling was occurring around us. Like something big was charging at us. I was starting to lose my balance, and my fever was definitely not helping.

"What is that?!" I said.

Percy was quiet until he yelled.

"Estelle! Run!"

But it was too late, suddenly a giant tree was thrown from the air and got between me and Percy. I lost my balance and fell into a ditch. I groaned in pain as I tried to get back up. Out in the distance, I hear a loud roar and Percy fighting. As I reached the top, I hid behind the log and looked at where Percy was at.

He was fighting a big guy, and I couldn't say who or what he was, but he was bigger than Percy, stronger even, and he was holding some giant axe. Percy has this shock look on his face, as if he knew exactly who it is.

"How on earth are you alive?!"

As Percy was fighting the big guy, I noticed that the Vulture was starting to break loose from her water prison. As she gets out, she flies up in the air and dives for Percy.

"Percy, look out!" I yelled.

Out of pure instinct, I ran toward Percy and jumped, pushing him out of the way. We both fell into a bush while the two villains collided with each other. Unfortunately, the harpy reacted quickly and got out of the big guy's way. I got up and yelled at Percy.

"We gotta go! Now!"

Percy nodded and got up. We both started running away from the enemies and tried to find a good place to hide.

"What was that big guy?!"

"No time to explain," Percy answered. "Just another guy I fought back then."

"Another… How many enemies did you make?!" I yelled. "What, were you on the most wanted list for stealing something important?!"

"Kind of?"

"I WAS BEING SARCASTIC!"

At this point, anything goes. Percy could be a descendant of wizards and went to Hogwart. Or he's a half-vampire or werewolf because mom fell in love with a monster. Or maybe he's a mutant like the X-men and all these creatures are just humans with mutations. I don't know, I just want some answers!

But, as you can see, we're a bit busy trying to survive. Percy found a spot under a bridge. We ran there and hid.

"Look, I'll make this as simple as possible once we're in the clear, okay?" Percy whispered. I sighed and nodded.

"Fine, at least tell me why these guys are after you?"

"The Vulture had siblings and I killed them to save some of my friends. I couldn't let them get eaten. As for the big guy… well… he and I have some history together."

"How much of a history?" I said.

"…He once took our mom and sent her to the underworld."

Okay, that… that was unexpected. "WHAT?!" I yelled. Percy shushes me and covers my mouth. I mean, how would you feel if you found out your mom, who's still alive, went to the underworld because of your brother?

"Look, it's a really long story and we don't have time. Just know that monsters are real and they love to eat humans, especially half-bloods."

"And what's a half-blood?!" I whispered loudly.

Before he could answer, suddenly, the bridge collapsed. A giant figure came falling down and roared.

"Estelle, run!" Percy yelled. I got up and ran as far as I could, but then I got pinned down from the Vulture. She swooped down from the sky and dragged me to the floor.

"Don't think I forgot about you, you little brat," She snarled.

"Ugh, brush your teeth next time you eat out," I said, disgusted by her breath smell.

As I looked toward Percy, I noticed he was fighting the big guy. He was wearing a robe so I can't really see his actual appearance; but, I could've sworn I saw hooves on his legs. I tried to get loose from the Vulture's grip, but she is holding me tight with her claws. I couldn't break free.

Percy was struggling too. He can't seem to find an opening with the big guy he's facing.

"Damn it! When did you get this good?!" He yelled.

The big guy growled at him.

"Kronos is gone! Why are you guys still here?!"

Vulture scoffed. "Haven't you heard the news? Our father has returned."

Percy replied with a shocked expression, "What? That's impossible!"

He kept dodging the hooded monster's attack.

"Enough! Best you stop now, Percy Jackson. Or your precious sister gets it."

Vulture lowered her wing arms near my neck and I noticed that some of her talons have sharp edges. She could cut my neck anytime she wanted to if Percy didn't hesitate.

Percy was near the river that was under the bridge so he can probably use it to attack or something. I don't know, I was still wondering how he did that whole water-bending technique earlier.

"Don't you dare go near the water, Jackson," The Vulture replied.

Percy was frustrated. He can't attack or move, while the big guy gets a free pass to attack.

I hate this.

I hate being the damsel in distress. Yeah it's nice being saved by the hero; but who's gonna save the hero if the damsel is too weak to fight? No, I won't be a burden to Percy, even if I am facing the supernatural. Though, not gonna lie, I'd happily be the damsel if the Winchester brothers came to save us. I mean, have you seen The Winchester brothers?!

Anyways, since Tweety here is holding my arms down, I still have one motive I can use. It's a dirty tactic, and really nasty, but I had no choice.

"Hey, birdbrain!" I yelled. The Vulture looks at me and I straight up spat at her eyes. Don't ask how I got accurate aim.

The Vulture grunted in disgust and lost her grip at me. I managed to get my left arm out, grabbed a broken debris and hit the Vulture at her legs. She screamed in pain and let go of me. Percy saw and used it as an opportunity to strike at the hooded man. He put his hand on the river and summoned a huge whirlpool toward the man and pushed away and toward the harpy. I ran toward Percy and grabbed something I can use as a weapon.

Vulture gets up as she is furious from my escape attempt.

"You arrogant, brat. I'm gonna enjoy making you suffer," She snarled. The big guy growled as he got up and picked up his axe. The two cornered us.

Percy has his magical sword while I have a metal rod from the bridge as I held it like a bat.

"So, Percy, think we can take these losers down?" I said with confidence. But, judging from Percy's expression, we do not have a chance.

"Sorry, Sis, but that metal bar ain't gonna help you. These guys can't get hurt from regular material. Only enchanted weapons can.

Thanks for telling me important information at the last second, Percy!

"Great, any more bright ideas?!" I yelled.

As if all hope was lost, our knight in shining armor appeared on his great stallion. And by stallion, I mean her dad's police car. Jumping off from the broken bridge, Sam dad's car came flying down and crashed down towards the monsters. As the car crashed on them, more debris from the bridge fell and piled up right on top of them.

As the smoke clears out, Sam and her dad exit out of the car, coughing from the debris smoke.

"Sam? Was that you?!"

Sam replied, "I couldn't let you handle everything, Stella."

"…How did you get your driver's license again?" I said in amusement. Sam shrugged.

Percy sighs in relief and says, "We gotta go, that'll knock them out for a while, but they'll wake up soon."

Sam's dad nodded, "He's right, these creatures are resilient when it comes to their hunger."

"Hunger for food or vengeance?" I asked. "Cause either way, they have got to go on a diet."

"There's a subway station nearby. Let's head over there and head home. I gotta get Estelle home safely and tell my wife the situation."

"What? Can't you just call her?" I asked Percy.

"Phone broke during my fight with the Vulture. Seems she was smart enough to stop me from calling for help."

I groaned in annoyance.

Percy gestured us to follow him as Sam and I helped her dad walk since he's still wounded from the harpy's attack. Luckily, he's not bleeding, but he definitely took a beating from her. We walked toward the subway station and managed to catch a train to the station near my apartment.

We all sighed in relief as Mr. Stacy took out his phone. He made a quick call to the police and told them that he's fine and taking his daughter to a safe place and will return soon. After that, he gave the phone to Percy.

"Here, my phone still works."

Percy denied it.

"Can't, my phone was specifically built for my kind."

"Your kind?"

Percy sighed, "I'll explain later, Estelle. Let just get you home and tell Annabeth the situation and-"

"Wait, Annabeth knows too?!"

It was gonna be a long trip back home for Percy.
