That Awkward Moment
Chapter 2.
Harry's POV
Today was hectic; actually, scratch that - it was INSANE! First, I get kicked out of my Aunt and Uncle's house. Second, I almost ge—uhhh, never mind, I'll just get on with it.
The thunder roared and boomed while the lightning crackled and outlined itself against the stormy sky while the rain soaked Grover and me to the bone. Homeless, we walked down a side street and stumbled upon a café. I was going to ask Grover if we could stop there for something to eat, then Grover looked behind us. That's when it all started.
Grover's eyes went wide and his dark skinned face, paled. Droplets of sweat began to form on his already soaked forehead and he began stuttering uncontrollably. He managed to get out a few understandable words that I could hear through all the noise the storm was making and this is the only thing I make out.
"Ha- Ha- Har-r-r-r-r-y RUN!"
Even though, I just met Grover, I trusted him enough and just started running and was off like a shot, running as fast I could with Grover hot on my heals and whatever was chasing us.
We bolted down the street. I haven't even looked back yet out of fear, and I feel as if my legs were on fire.
As my pace eased up a bit, I heard behind me a deep, rumbling growl, so I fought to keep up with Grover.
Hopefully, whatever was behind was only an angry dog but with the way Grover yelled, I suspect that's not the case.
We were getting close to Surrey's Town Hall, real close. Maybe we could find a security guard, somebody, anybody inside that could help us.
But before we could reach it, no longer stuttering, Grover yelled, "Harry into that alleyway!"
To my immediate right there was a garbage littered alleyway with a smell that scorched my nose hairs. Not thinking twice about it, I followed Grover and took cover.
Huddled low, we used the shadows and the dreadful stench to conceal our presence. Moments later, I finally got my first glimpse at my stalker – it had two huge fangs the length of a grown man's hand, drool dripped from his jaws that could easily bite a man's head off. The matted grey fur only accentuated the muscles of this dog like creature that was size of a grizzly bear.
Grover gripped my arm like a vice, as the animal turned its head in our direction. We each held our breath for dear life and whole body shook with fear like an earthquake under Grover's fingers. The monster turned its head once again and left in the direction from where it came.
With a trembling voice, I asked, "Wh-wh-what was that?
Grover was rooted where he stood and stared at the spot where dog-like creature just left from and slowly turned his head to look me in the eye. In an instant, Grover shook off the dream like gaze and now his eyes were like those of an army corporal.
In a steely tone, Grover replies, "A Hellhoud".
As Grover continues to explain, he grabs me by the hand and guides me to the other end of the alleyway until we stopped in front of a festival filled street.
The quick version without the backstory is that that Thing was sent by Hades, from the underworld. At first, Grover wasn't sure if it was Dudley or me that he was supposed escort and protect on the way to camp half-blood but now it's pretty clear since the Hellhound appeared and went after me that I'm, The Guy. When we get to our destination, somebody named Chiron will explain everything.
