I had the house all to myself. Paradise! I went inside in a rush. I grabbed a tub of strawberry ice cream and a spoon then sat down on the couch. I clicked the remote's power button and the TV flickered with static. "He didn't fix it? I specifically asked him to fix it too." Seeing that the TV wasn't going to work, I turned it off and went outside with the tub of ice cream. I heard random shouting and banging to my right and turned to look.

There I saw it. Britt was dressed as a gladiator and was swinging a sword around like a mad man. I immediately began to laugh. In fact, I laughed so hard that I dropped the tub of ice cream on the ground.

Hearing my laughing, Britt turned and glared at me, but he was quick to turn his attention because Toran drove up in a brand new car. I don't really know why Toran had a new car or the how he could drive. Every time I see him he has a horrible limp, but I should expect the unexpected right? Toran got out of the car also dressed as a gladiator. They began to fight each other. I must say, it was pretty awesome to watch, and Toran had no limp what so ever during the fight.

That is when I heard it. A loud sound came from the field across the street. It wasn't any normal sound either. It sounded like a bull, but more monstrous than one. It sounded like a large, howling bull, no lie.

I turned to see if Britt and Toran had heard it as well. Britt held up his sword, ready for a fight and Toran was grabbing something from his car. "Nyr! Get over here!" shouted Britt. I was utterly started, but after hearing that sound, I probably would've listened to anyone.

I began to walk over there, and then I could see it. A large bull figure was running through the field like any human would. He was coming straight towards me as well. "What's going on? Tell me what's going on!"

Toran came back from his car with a black hairclip in his hands."Britt, we're doomed. I only have the iron one. The bronze is still at my house. Good luck with the Minotaur. You always wanted a good fight-" The bull man, a Minotaur, ran right at Toran and he dodged very well. As Toran dodged, he dropped the hairclip. Toran quickly ran back to his car, yelling for me to follow, but I remained there, frozen with fear.

Britt went into frenzy as he attacked the Minotaur. I had never seen anybody so enthralled with fighting. I had never seen something that shouldn't exist either. I noticed the dropped hairclip, and out of instinct I ran and picked it up, somehow dodging blows from running between Britt and the Minotaur.

It really began to look like Britt was going to lose the fight by now. The Minotaur suddenly turned straight towards me and began to me. I was still looking at the pin and noticed a small button on the side. "She's unprotected!" Toran shouted from the car, and Britt quickly ran after the Minotaur to try to stop him. I clicked it and the hairclip changed into a nice black sword.

I looked up at just the right time to see the Minotaur near me and swung the sword. I don't know why or how I did that. I mean, I've never held a sword in all my life yet here I was trying to fight off something that shouldn't exist. With one swing I managed to cut the monster's neck, and my sword kind of just absorbed the monster.

Britt and Toran were speechless. I clicked the button on the sword and it went away. I was actually excited. That fight was amazing. I then looked up at the two boys. "I want to know. What that was!"

"I'll leave her to you Britt. You are a better protector than I am after all," said Toran. "I'm going to try to alert Chiron before she arrives." With that, Toran drove off.

"Before I arrive where? What's going on?" I demanded, but Britt ignored me.

"Leave this note on your kitchen table. It's for your mother. She'll understand everything. Once you do that you better hurry back and you better be ready to leave this place for a long time." I'd never seen Britt like this, let alone, I've never talked to him either, so I figured it was pretty important. I hurried home and set the note on the table and stuffed a few things in a bag. A few pieces of clothed and a bat stuffed animal that my dad had supposedly given me when I was a baby.

I ran back the Britt's place where he was starting up his car. "Get in. We are leaving this place. It isn't safe around here. Well for you more specifically. Nobody really targets me that much."
