AN: Sorry this took longer than usual, I had the dreaded writer's block, and to de hunter thanks for the idea……. but no. Remember to review or I won't keep writing

"Jon, we need to get off the bus!" Alex screamed as I fought the giant into the tiny bus bathroom.

"I'm kind of busy right now!" I yelled back blocking the giant's, well, giant sword, "Think of something!"

I was blocking off the giant trying to get him all the way into the bathroom when Alex let off an ear piercing scream. The giant must have had better hearing than I did because he covered his ears and began to scream and writhe in agony. I shut the door in his face, took someone's baton, and jammed it into the door, locking it. The bus driver had come to a stop and was walking back towards us angrily.

"Shut up!" he yelled at Alex, but she didn't stop.

"I'm sorry she was touched in the head when she was younger, but I just need to give her medicine," I explained and pretended to force something down Alex's throat. She stopped and the bus driver walked away.

"I'm touched in the head?" she asked, indignantly.

"You are. Anyway the giant is stuck in the bathroom and we need to kill him before he breaks out, any ideas?" I replied.

"I open the door and you load him up with arrows," she answered. I nodded and she got ready to open the door, when the giant burst out of the bathroom.

I had been ready so I let three arrows fly and they all pierced his chest, but he did not collapse in die, he merely got angrier. Alex took her sword out, again, and swung at him, but he merely took the blade and swung her away. I charged at him with my daggers and I became a human kite. Fortunately, I landed safely on the bus driver. Unfortunately, I landed on the bus driver. He was jerked forward and the bus began sliding all over the road and screeching. Everyone was being thrown back and forth, but the lucky thing was that Alex and I used everyone's confusion to our advantage.

We got to the back of the bus and finally the bus driver had gotten everything under control and stopped the bus. At the same time, Alex shoved her sword and I shoved my dagger straight into the giant's heart. He gave a little shudder and turned into fine brown dust. We breathed a sigh of relief and sat down hard. We were finally able to relax, until we realized that everyone was staring at us. I was guessing they had just seen us impale some guy.

"Ummm… Alex, how do we get out of this?" I asked.

"Follow my lead," she whispered to me and then she did the last thing I would have thought of, she screamed, "I HAVE A BOMB STRAPPED TO MY CHEST!"

Of course screaming ensued and everyone raced to get off the bus. Finally we were the last ones on the bus and we casually grabbed our stuff and walked off. Everyone was at the entrance and when they saw us walk off they began screaming again and raced away. We walked into the woods that were on the side of the highway and began running away, hoping to get away before the cops showed up. And being expelled from a bunch of schools would not help me in court.

"Where did you get that idea from?" I exclaimed.

"A movie," she said, nonchalantly, and we laughed.

We had finally gotten away from the bus, but now we were in the woods and had no idea how to get to Miami. So we did all we could, we wandered aimlessly through the woods, not thinking anything through.

"We could find a train, like Amtrak or something and go as far as we can," I suggested and Alex nodded in agreement.

"But we need to find the train first," she pointed out.

"Well, I'm lost at the moment so I guess you can lead us out," I explained.

"Do you think that if the son of the greatest hunter can't find where we are that I can?" she asked. "Pray to your mom for help."

"Ummm, okay," I replied, "Mom? Well, Alex and I are kind of stuck right now so can you kind of help us or something? Yeah, and thanks for giving me the weapons."

How can we help you, sire? I heard a voice ask.

"What was that Alex?"

"What was what?"

"You just asked me if you could help me," I explained.

"No, I-" she began, but she looked away at something and began grinning, "Jon, I think that this you mother's answer to your prayers."

I looked over and out of the bushes came two very big and majestic-looking bucks. Their antlers were huge and deadly looking and their fur gleamed in the light that was filtering through the trees. They looked at me with very intelligent, strangely silver, eyes.

How can we help you, sire? The voice asked again and I realized that the voice was coming from the deer.

"Alex! I can talk to the deer!" I exclaimed in excitement.

Do you know how we can get to a train? I asked in my mind.

Yes, Artemis sent us here to guide you and to tell you if you even look at a girl as more than friends you shall feel her wrath.

Okay, I knew that my mother was a man-hater (except for one, of course), but I didn't think that she would try to push virginity onto me. Also I didn't think she was one of those controlling mothers, but, what are you going to do.

Can you point us in the direction of the closet train?

Of course, but wouldn't you rather ride us?

I eagerly told Alex to get on one of the deer and I got on the other and they flew off. They gracefully bounded through the woods and we seemed to weigh nothing to them. It was the most exhilarating thing that I had ever done and if you ever get a chance to ride on a magical deer, I suggest that you take it.

Finally we reached a town with a train station, except it wasn't passenger trains; they were the kinds hobos ride on in movies. I guess that I wouldn't be riding first class and being served by waitresses.

Your train is over there, the deer explained pointing its noise to an old, decrepit train that was rusting over, and remember my warning. With that the two deer bounded off into the distance.

"This is our ride," I explained to Alex, pointing to the train.

"Great," she muttered, "this looks like a lot of fun."

We hauled ourselves into one of the open cars, trying to act as if we had a legal reason to be on a train. We hid behind crates of something with a horrible odor, so we would not be found if someone looked for freeloaders.

"Life as a half-blood sure is glamorous," I remarked to Alex as we were covering our noses from the heinous stench.
