As I was running, it had started to rain pretty badly. by the time I got into town, I was soaking wet and shivering from my wet cloths. I wanted to find them, and hopefully have some questions answered. With this being a small town I, thought it would be easy to find them.

boy was I wrong. Nobody tat was out had seen them, I saw no traces opf them either. How could two hot boys, with one of them being injured, just disapper? I was going to turn back and start heading home, but I spotted them. The blond boy was still carrying his brother and there were more of thoses bird women things chasing them. THey ducked into a small ally way that was a dead end.

The bird women things followed them down the ally and I followed them. The blond haired boy had his back to he wall, his brother was up against the wall, clentching his side. They both had spears in their hands and were looking at the bird women things.

"Stay back." The blond haired boy said.

The bird women things laughed or I think was a laugh. I heard the sound of whispering.

I moved to try and hear better, but I kicked a couple of glass bottles. I looked down at them, before looking up shocked. The bird women things looked back at me, before screatching.

"A demigod!" One of them said.

"It talks?" I asked shocked.

"Run!"

He didn't have to tell me twice. I turned back to run, but there was a big bird woman thing in front of me. Gasping I backed away from her.

"Well, well looks like we have a full meal for us girls."

"Leave her alone." The blond haired boy said.

I looked... or tried to look at them, but the bird women things were blocking me. I turned when the big bird woman thing screatched.

"This girl is mine!"

She dowv at me and I closed my eyes lihtly, bent down and screamed. I heard something crashand some screams. I looked up when I felt nothing. I fell to the ground shocked to see several big vines with thorns, and the bird women things were tangled in them.

They were struggling and screatching. The blond haired boy had walked in front of me and bent down to eyes level.

"Are you ok?"

"Y-yeah."

He stoof up and offered his hand. I took it and he pulled me up.

"Come with us Marie."

All I could do is nod my head yes.
