IMPORANT: This updated version of this chapter has a new MORE INTRESTING ending.

"It was the fucking coolest thing I had ever seen!" James continued. "But after a few more blows he became badly wounded, there was a huge gash on his arm and on his leg and scars all over his face. But he kept fighting! I remember thinking if he survived we were gana make great friends. Then Collin did something stupid he turned his back to the monster as he tried to catch his breath then monster sliced his head off. Ms. Valentine, his mom, was crying so much. She ran out to him and just cried over his body. I called 911 and then ran out and told her that. She asked me if I had watched what happened. I told her I did. Then I expressed how weird the creature was. I told her I never seen anything like it. The ambulance came and took him away. The next day I saw his mom and she told me he was dead."

"That's awful!" Samantha cried out.

"So what do you think?" James asked.

"Well….ummmm…." Sam stuttered. "..…it's obviously…."

SMASH! CRASH!

The five looked out the window and there was a Hydra.

"We`ll get back to you." Sam told him.

The five ran outside. Scott caused lighting to strike the Hydra, Alex took out his sword and started stabbing the creature at different points and on its body Sam went into her pocket and pulled out a mini brown quiver and a black bow. She shook them and they suddenly grew to full size. She put the quiver on her back then took out an arrow and started firing them at the Hydra. The hydra started to breathe fire at them. Dylan was looking for a water source. He saw a hydrant and made the water come out and hit the hydra. With the three of them attacking it at the same time, the Hydra was destroyed in minutes.

James ran out of the house. "Holy fucking shit! That was awesome!" he yelled. "How did you guys do that?"

"We weren't lying when we said were demi gods." Sam told him simply.

Then they ran off to find a place to spend the night. Thankfully Sam was smart and brought mortal money with her.

The group stayed at the Georgie`s inn. It was small and pretty run down but cheap.

They walked into their room the walls were blue and had cracks in them. There was an old fashion TV on a stand, a bathroom and a small couch and a queen sized bed.

"This place sucks." Scott said. "Is that a rat?"

He said as one ran across the floor.

"Look, it doesn't matter." Alex said. "Were just here to sleep and eat."

"Well it would be useful to know where we are going next." Sam commented.

"Dylan, turn the TV on would you?" Alex said. "Maybe they`ll be an attack on the news."

Dylan turned the TV on.

There was a lady at a desk reporting.

"In conclusion there was no way that Harry Potter fan was getting on set." The new lady said. "In other news a girl in Iowa was killed by an unknown creature. This girl looked like she was in a bad sword fight or clawed at, witnesses say it was an animal attack."

"I guess where going to Iowa." Dylan said.

"Yep." Alex replied.

"And how do you plain on getting all the way there? Walking?" Sam asked.

"We have no other choice, we need to save our money for places to stay." Alex told her. "We better get some sleep, were gana need energy for tomorrow."

"Its 10 o clock I'm not going to bed." Sam protested.

"Why do you have to be so difficult why can't you just listen to me for once?" Alex asked.

"Well one I like pissing you off, and two I'm not tried."

"Whatever I'm going to bed." Alex replied, then walked towards the bed.

"Don't you have to call your mommy?" Sam asked Alex laughing.

"I told her I was on a quest and wouldn't have time to call her."

"Good excuses I should have used that." Dylan said.

"Oh yeah your mom makes you call too." Scott said laughing.

"Shut up." Dylan said shoving him.

Alex went to bed as Dylan and Scott watched Star Wars on TV, as Sam read the latest Mortal Instruments book. Dylan decided it was already pretty late, so he didn't call home. She didn't even seem bothered by the noise of the TV. Scott and Sam fell asleep around 1 o clock. Dylan knew he should go to be but for some reason he started thinking about what the Oracle had said and him saving the world and fighting with a god. How would that even happen! He thought. How could he save the world? Would he win against god? Was he going to die? He sat on the couch wondering this as everyone else slept.

Sam got up to get some water, as she passed by Dylan she noticed he was awake.

"Hey are you okay?" Sam asked, looking concerned.

"…yeah I'm fine."

"Are you worried about your mom?"

"no, I know she`s okay."

"Then what is it?" Sam asked. "You can talk to me."

She walked over to Dylan and sat on the couch right next to him.

"Tell me what's wrong." Sam told him.

"Nothing."

"…..okay well let's get your mind off the nothing your thinking about. Let's play a game. Tell me something about you that you never told anyone else."

"I accidentally killed my brother and my pet hamster when I was eight." Dylan said. "I forgot to feed it for a week and it died. You?"

"I listen to fall out Boy."

"Really?" Dylan said, trying not to laugh. "There so old!"

"There good!"

"My dad used to listen to them."

"Your dad? I thought your dad was Poseidon?" Sam asked question.

"He is!" Dylan said quickly. "I met my uncle, he's like a dad to me. So sometimes I get confused."

"Oh." Sam said. "….. Have you ever met your godly parent? I herd some demi gods do, sometimes they visit in secret?"

"No."

Dylan wondered what Poseidon and Athena were like. Where they nice? Mean? Good looking?

"Me either. One of my brothers met Apollo once though. He said he was very young looking, very outgoing and fun. …I wish I could just talk to him once."

"Yeah, I get that."

Sam looks down at her hands.

"Can I tell you something?"

"Yeah."

"I-I…I didn't come here to protect the others….I came to protect you."

"Well that's nice of you, I mean I really don't know what I'm doing and-"

"No it's not because of that…well it partly is but…really I wanted to protect you because…..is like you….like really like you."

Dylan looked confused. "Really? You like me?"

Sam smiled.

"Yeah, you're so nice, sweet and smart. When I first saw you on your first day….I thought you were so cute. I really wanted to get to know you, then Alex became your friend it was perfect he introduced you to Scott and me and…"

Dylan was just staring at her as if he still could not believe it.

"You like me?" he said with disbelief.

"Yes! Don't make fun of me! It was really hard to tell you!"

"I'm not. It's just I like you too."

Sam smiled.

Dylan took Sam`s hand in his then kissed her on the cheek. She kissed him back but on the lips.
