For the past two days, Sally has been in pure bliss. The beach, the water, walking the shores at night, and eating donuts in the morning.
Best of all spending timewith her precious baby boy. Percy jumped and ran around as he pleased.
The cabin brought back so many memories. Sally Uncle Rich was quite the outdoorsman and taught her a few tricks, basic navigation, and how to start a fire.
Sally and Percy also went for hikes, every two feet Percy found a rock or stick he likes.
"No Percy put that down." She said for the eleventh time.
Then something caught Sally's attention. "Percy come here."
About thirty feet away a doe came out.
Sally and Percy watch it with awe. Living in New York were the only animals you saw being rats, pigeons, and stray dogs made deer a wonderful site to see.
Soon a buck came out and came up to the doe and they affectionately rubbed the shouts together.
"Wow!" Percy said a little loud than he intended. The deer ran off.
"Oh." Sally groaned.
"I'm sorry," Percy said.
Sally smiled at Percy, "It ok, now come on let head back to the cabin."
Sally took her son by the hand and they made their way to the cabin.
The whole time they watched the deer they were being watched as well.
The Cabin wasn't that big, at most it could hold a family of four.
It only had a one-bedroom with twin beds and a futon couch in the den.
The den was composite with the kitchen.
There were only two entrances/ exits the front door and the back door at the back of the cabin.
The windows were sealed shut to prevent variants from breaking. They were also made from stormproof glass.
It was about ten pm when Percy fell asleep. Sally tucked him in one of the twin beds.
She grabbed a beach towel and went out the back door. She went down the trail that leads to the beach. It was a beautiful night, the sky was more a dark blue than black, thousands of stars were litter out and the moon was bright and full.
Sally put the towel down and sat watching the wave roll in and out.
'Poseidon.' She began to remember the day she met the God that changed her life. He was so kind and funny. Very handsome. His sea-green eyes were hypnotic.
The most wonderful summer of her life was now just a memory.
After Percy was born, Poseidon offers her a palace with servants in the sea. She regrets the offer. One she was not materialistic and two she was greatly aware of the trouble that would cause.
Poseidon was already married to Amphitrite and they had a son together, Triton, the messages of the sea and the heir to Poseidon's throne.
Sally fears if she went into live under the sea with Poseidon she and Percy would be targeted by the royal family.
One day Amphitrite might invite Sally over for tea, the next thing she know she lying on the floor foaming at the mouth while Amphitrite is enjoying a crumpet.
Or Percy is training with Triton and he is 'accidentally' decapitated.
And if Zeus and Hades find out that Poseidon is hiding his lover and their child in his domain.
Oh boy, that would be an awful mess.
No, it would be if Sally and Percy remain on the land. Either way, they would be in danger.
Sally watches and listens to tide eventually falling asleep.
As she laid asleep the creature watching slowly got closer. A satyr, half man half goat. Lower half the legs of a goat, the upper half of a man with horns. The moment his hood touch the sand he was pull back into the woods.
"What the Tartarus are you thinking Barry?" Its comrades angrily whisper.
"What? She right there!" Barry complains. He was then headbutted.
"Ow!" Barry held his head, "Dick!"
"If you bring her back now and the rest will lose their damn minds and go wild."
Barry rolled his eyes, "Fine Birch I'll leave her alone for now, but when can I have her?"
"When the boss gets here in two days, be patient!" Birch said.
"Fine," Barry groaned he look back at Sally's sleepy defenseless form. He wiped the drool off, "I'm gonna her a night she'll never forget."
The satyrs went back into the woods. Sally woke up and look around. She got up and dusted the sand off herself. Picking up her towel and returned to the cabin
Back at the hidden forge, In a secure room that was cylinder shape, Kratos stood in the center with his hands in his pocket.
The room was designed to resemble a missile silo. The walls, floor, and ceiling have been greatly reinforced, only a door for entrance and exit.
"You ready?" Clark's voice came over an intercom. He and Prometheus we're watching through a window of reinforced glass.
They were testing their new invention, the Cloaking ring, a brass ring with a red gemstone. It was on Kratos left middle finger.
By combining Prometheus cloaking spell and the constantly changing magic of the labyrinth they were attempting to create a portable cloaking device that can hide anyone from the gods, titans, or other beings.
There was one problem; Kratos vast power. He had gone through four rings so far, each breaking off at a certain point.
Kratos was wearing number five and slowly release his essence. If you're were in the room with Kratos you notice the rising temperature and pressure.
A red glow covered Kratos's body, his eyes went from golden amber to reddish gold.
He then added more power, the aura around him began to resemble flames.
The silo room began shaking, Clark and Prometheus could feel Kratos' power despite the reinforcement between them.
Cracks spread across the walls and the protective window began to crack as well. The ring gemstone began to glow and Kratos aura returns to his body.
Kratos felt the veil cover him, but something was wrong. He stops his aura from flowing and the room stops shaking.
"Kratos did that ring break?" Clark called over the intercom
The ring only a crack in it, but it manages to last longer than the others.
"No, it has a crack though," Kratos pulled the ring off. "I can't reach my full power."
"Yeah, something in your mind restricting," Prometheus pulled his hand away from Kratos head.
After the experiment, Prometheus examine Kratos to see what was holding him back.
Clark was upset about Kratos' power, knowing that when or if he gets his power back he would have to redo Krato's equipment to handle his strength.
"Prometheus, what blocking my power?" Kratos said.
"I don't know, you lived so many lives that it all murky, maybe it's an identity issue," Prometheus ponder.
Identity is very important to magic and immortal beings, saying the name alone gave power.
"Possibly, I aware of now nine lives now, and I have visions of three others," Kratos thought of what was bothering him.
He wonders when Sally and Percy would come back, he hasn't been back to his apartment since they left.
He just spent his at the hidden forge, training and helping around.
"Ok, what bothering you?" Prometheus asked.
"Hmmm." Kratos groaned.
"Just between me and you, I won't tell anybody,"
Kratos stared at Prometheus. Molly gave him a haircut and trimmed his beard into a neat goatee with no mustache. He had thin scars all over his face.
"There this woman and her son, and," Kratos stopped, he didn't know why he was thinking about them.
"Well tell me the beginning and I help you figure things out." Prometheus waved his hands and two cups of coffee appeared.
Kratos told him about Sally and Percy Jackson. He didn't tell him about Percy being the son of Poseidon.
"I see," Prometheus rest his hand against his chin, "Maybe that is, you want a family, a loving, caring wife, and a happy healthy child."
Kratos thought about it, Sally as his wife and Percy as his son.
A family.
No.
He would be a bad influence. Kratos just cause them more trouble, it would be best if he left them alone.
"No. No." Kratos got up, he didn't want them to hurt because of him.
He always ruined so many lives.
Sally has been having the best time, she hasn't even smoked one cigarette. She never needs to with it was her and Percy.
Speaking of Percy, even since Ranger Greg gave Percy the junior ranger badge he has been running around saying he is the law.
One day on the beach some college students were partying. Percy ran up to them holding his badge and told them to turn down their music and pick up their trash. Luckily the College students were very nice. They pick up their stuff and took their party somewhere else.
One day while cooking lunch, she heard Percy outside. "Leave or you're under arrest!"
Sally look outside and saw Percy talking to a raccoon. Oh no.
"Percy!"
The raccoon hissed at Percy. "That is, you're going to jail!" He reaches out to grab the raccoon who was ready to bite.
Sally ran out with a broom and quickly swatted at the raccoon. "Get out here! Get!" The raccoon hissed and ran into the bushes.
"Hey! Get back here!" Before Percy began his chase Sally grabbed him the collar of his shirt. "Mommy! He getting away!"
"Percy no leave the raccoon alone," she said firmly.
"But he was tres, treas, trees?"
"Trespassing."
"Yeah, that!"
Sally smile, "Percy raccoons live out here, he wasn't trespassing."
Percy blink, "Oh."
Sally held his hand and walk him back to the cabin, "It's lunchtime, I made grill cheeses,"
In the woods, the raccoon was talking to a satyr, "So the mean lady and her kid ran you off huh?"
The raccoon chatter in agreement, the satyr, Barry, nodded, "Don't worry, my friends and I will take care of them."
The raccoon scurries off cursing in its language.
Barry watched Sally and Percy enjoy lunch. Tomorrow night he gets to play with them.
The storm came without warning, a hurricane hit the entire east coast. The rain poured like bullets, and several flood warning was also issued.
Ranger Greg was out checking on the campers.
"I just don't get Tonya, we were supposed to have clear skies for several weeks, and now out of the blue a hurricane!" Greg said into his radio.
This meant campers leaving and vacations ruined. Four families have already left.
"I know Greg but these things happen, right now we just need to make that everyone is safe." Ranger Tanya said over the radio.
"Yeah, alright I'm gonna go check on Ms.Jackson and her son, over," Greg said. Right now the rain was light, but the weather was predicted to get heavier and heavier lasting until next month.
Greg continued to drive, on the side of the road he someone in the wood, he quickly stop and pulls over.
"Hello? Is anyone there?" Ranger Greg called out. No responses. "I'm Ranger Greg Thompson, is anybody out there?"
Still no response. That can't be right he swore that he saw someone in the woods. He grabs his radio and calls in.
"Tanya is any reports of campers or hikers in my area?"
"Let see, Ummm, no, nobody in that area."
"What about missing people?"
"Given me a moment," Greg could hear type on her keyboard.
Snap!
Greg spun around back to wood and saw a figure move between the trees. He pulls out his gun and cautiously moves closer to the trees.
"Is anyone there? I just want to help you," He felt his heart rate go up. The rain began to fall a little faster.
Then something struck Greg's hand, severing it from his body. Greg's severed hand and the gun fell to the as he screams in a mixture of pain and horror.
The creature revealed themselves, strange horned men walk out from trees armed with knives, swords, and axes.
Greg tries to run back to his truck only fall onto the wet ground, a knife was thrown into his left calf. He desperately crawls, the creatures grabbed his legs and dragged him screaming into the woods.
Tanya was screaming on the radio, "Greg what going on! Greg? Greg!?"
One of the creatures turn off the radio and ripped it out of the truck.
Kratos was sitting by the loading docks behind Clark Repair Shop watching the rain fell. He leaned back and closed his eyes listening to the water droplets.
"Someone help us please!"
What was going on? Where was he?
"Mommy!" A child was crying.
There he saw a figure of a woman carrying her child running away.
"Help us!" She cried, an army of creatures carrying weapons was running after them.
Kratos ran after them he was so close until a man tackled him.
"Let me go I need to save!" Kratos try free himself but the man's hold was too strong.
"Why? What do they mean to you?" The man said. The creature was closing in.
"Please! They're going to die!" Kratos begged. He could only watch as the creatures finally caught the woman.
"No!" He can hear screaming, he pushed the man off him and ran.
"No!no!no!" It was too late, the creatures were gone and the woman lay in a pool of her blood. The child was alive and cover in his mother's blood.
"Mommy! Mommy!" He cried trying to wake her, "Please get up!" He sobbed.
Kratos fell to his knees, "Why? Why did you stop me?"
"What does Poseidon pet whore and his bastard mean to you?"
Kratos slammed his fist on the ground, "They were innocent!"
"Has that ever matter to us?" The man said. Kratos look at the man and saw who he was talking to; himself. His old self.
The Spartan God of War destroys so many worlds. The red spiral tattoo appears on Kratos and started to glow.
Kratos saw the world around him burned.
"Kratos wake up," Prometheus said from a distance, he didn't want to wake up the spartan close up. He was poking Kratos with a long stick.
Suddenly the spartan stood up in a panic, breathing heavily and looking around.
"Where are they?" Kratos yelled. He saw Prometheus and rushed him. Prometheus felt Kratos hand grab him by throat.
"Where are they?" Kratos roared. Prometheus tries to pry the handoff to no avail. "Where are they!"
"Kratos! Stop!" Kratos grip loosen. "Prometheus?"
"Yes!"
Kratos releases his grip, "I'm so sorry Prometheus I'm sorry,"
Prometheus coughed, "It's fine, it's fine. Are you ok? You were thrashing around in your sleep."
Kratos put his hand to his forehead. A mother and child in danger, Sally and Percy. Kratos looked at the rain, it was getting heavier and heavier.
He had seen this rain before, Hera was the Queen of the Heavens and when ever Zeus upset her, usually via an affair, it would rain like this.
This was an omen. A bad omen.
Kratos bolted out of the warehouse. "Kratos!" Prometheus ran after him. Just as he was about to run out the front, Molly came in, and Kratos crash into her.
"Ow..." Molly cried, Kratos pick her up, "I'm sorry," Molly was seeing stars, "It's fine, but did anybody see that truck that hit me?"
Kratos brought her back into the shop, Clark came out," Molly your home early,"
Molly drink the nectar Kratos gave her and felt the headache get weaker. "Yeah, it's crazy,"
Clark looks at Kratos, "What wrong with her?"
"Kratos crash into her at sixty miles per hours," Prometheus said,
"What?"
"That it!" Molly suddenly yelled. The rest look at her.
"What is it my darling?" Clark was a concern for his wife, whenever she got overwhelmed or overexcited she had trouble focusing.
"It big you guys! Like super big! Olympus is in chaos!" Molly explains while flying around the room.
"Molly! Details!" Clark caught his wife and held her. Molly began to calm down. "Zeus!, he broke his oath, has a demigod child!"
Clark and Prometheus look at each other, this was serious. The prophecy.
Molly continued, "Hera went berserk, Hades stormed the place, everyone was fighting, I and the other servants left for our safety."
Clark held her tight, "You safe now my little flower,"
Kratos had a dark look, "How far is Montauk?"
The rest gave him a weird look, Kratos asked, "How far is Montauk?"
"A little over three hours," Prometheus said knowing something was wrong especially if Kratos was involved.
"Clark, I need to borrow a car to get it!"
"What why?" The cyclops asked.
"I will explain late, I need a car now!" Kratos demanded.
"Kratos, why do you need a car, and also why do you need to go Montauk?"
Kratos' eyes began to glow, "Give me a car now cyclops," he growled.
Molly hid behind Clark not liking the anger oozing of Carson, who for some reason was now being called Kratos.
Prometheus stood back, he knows what happens when something gets in Kratos's way.
Clark was aware as well, he a felt massive lump in his throat, "K-Kratos please, I want to help you, but I-I, well a car won't help in this weather, and, and there's the traffic,"
Kratos red aura surrounds him, the heat and pressure in the room increase. Clark stood back with his arms held protectively, Molly was scared not aware of the situation. Prometheus got behind the counter ready to ran if necessary.
Kratos look at them all seeing the fear in their eyes. The same expression he'd seen millions of times. They're scared of him.
Kratos calmed himself and his aura disappeared. The heat and pressure return to normal.
"Please, I need to get to Montauk, please," Kratos asked. It was quiet for a moment, the sounds were from the heavy rain outside.
"I have a boat you can use, it can handle the storm and get you there in an hour," Clark said.
"Thank you." Kratos and went to the back of the store. Nobody followed him still cautious.
Molly tugged on Clark's sleeve, "Sweetie, why did you call Carson Kratos?"
Clark put his hand to his forehead he had a lot to explain.
"Why did it have to rain?" Percy pouted looking outside at the storm. Sally wasn't happy about it either, four days of fun only for a hurricane to come out of nowhere and ruin everything.
But no she will not let a storm ruin her vacation. "Percy, why don't we put on our pajamas and watch a movie, I'll make hot chocolate."
Percy went from pouty face to happy face, "I wanna watch Finding Nemo!"
Sally smiled.
But it wasn't long before they fall asleep, on the tv the DVD went back to the main menu, Percy falls asleep during the Whale scene and Sally was asleep way before that.
Percy sat up and rubs his eyes, he had to pee. Percy being a big boy was going to the bathroom on his own and even remember to wash his hands.
Tap, Tap, Tap.
"Hmmm?" Percy hears something.
Tap, Tap, Tap
There it was again. It sounds like it was coming from the back. Percy went to go check it out. He had his Junior Ranger Badge in his pocket ready to dish out the law.
The backdoor was in the laundry room. Sally and Percy's swimsuit was in there to dry, and their beach supplies were also stored.
Percy slowly enters the room, it was very dark. The rain and thunder were so loud.
Tap, Tap, Tap
The backdoor had a window in it to allow people to see in and out.
Percy felt his heartbeat increase. He could barely see out the window. He just makes out a faint silhouette.
Lighting flashed revealing what was outside. Percy did what any four years would do; run to his mommy.
"Mommy! Mommy!" Percy jumps on the couch waking his mother up.
"Wha-What? Percy? What happen?" Sally rubbed her eyes. Percy clings tightly to her.
"There a monster outside!" Percy cried out. Sally was wide awake now. Being the mother of a demigod, when her child was talking about monsters she took that very seriously.
"Percy, go into the bed and wait, mommy will handle it." She told him. Percy was hesitant for a moment.
"Percy now."
Percy did what he was told. When he got into the bedroom, he hid under the bed.
Sally took a deep breath. She knew that Camp Half-Blood was a good drive away. Plus there was the beach, Sally would throw Percy into the water, he would be safe in his father's domain.
Sally could hear the tapping now, she went into the laundry room and turn on the back porch light.
When the light came the satyr on the other side had a big smile on his face. Sally's heart stops for a moment.
Poseidon told her that most likely one day that a satyr might find Percy and guide him to Camp Half-Blood.
But Sally was no fool, she was also well aware that satyr knows for either being playful tricksterd or notorious rapists and killers.
This satyr seems more the latter when he smiles his sharp teeth were shown. The satyr point down the door handle indicating it wanted to be let in.
Sally instincts took over and she ran to the bedroom and lock the door. The satyr outside shrugged and punched through the door letting himself in.
Another satyr kicked the front door down and the third jump through a window.
"Alright, boys let's get them!"
They went to the bedroom door and chop it down, Sally was on the other side holding Percy. The satyrs found it a little funny that she wasn't trying to escape through the back window.
Sally held a large can, a can of bear mace. Before any of the satyrs could react a thick layer of the white foam cover them.
Now the senses of satyr were greatly superior to any mortal, their scent of smell alone was a thousand times more powerful. That only made the burning sensation thousands of times worst.
"My eyes! My eyes!"
"It fucking burns!"
The satyrs fell to the ground in pain. Sally leap over them, she just had to make it to the car. She held onto Percy tightly.
Outside they were greeted with uncontrolled wind and freezing rain. Only wearing pajamas and no shoes made the experience worst.
'Get to car! Get to the car!' The words repeated in Sally's mind.
But the satyrs got to the car first. Two we're jumping on the roof crushing it, another was hacking at the front with its ax.
Sally tried to ran. Barry the satyr leap thirty feet in the air and land in front of her. "Look like your having car trouble madame," he grabbed her and another satyr pulls Percy away from her.
Barry held Sally closed to him as she desperately tries to escape. Barry licked her cheek with his long purple tongue.
"Don't worry miss, We'll help you out."
Kratos and Prometheus jump off the boat when got close enough to the shore. Prometheus held his Torch up.
"This way." The bolted becoming blurs that even the human eye couldn't follow. After ten minutes of relentless running, they made it to the cabin.
The door was kicked in and there were clear signs of a struggle.
"Damn it!" Kratos cursed. Prometheus closed his eyes and held his Torch.
"That's not good," Prometheus said reopening his eyes.
"What? Are we too late?"
"No it not that, but it appears that this storm Hera created along with some magic from the woods is canceling out my foresight abilities." Prometheus increased the brightest of his torch. Kratos looks at Gabe's car that has been destroyed and the tracks.
"Satyrs took them," Kratos said began following them.
He had to find them quickly, if Sally was in the clutches of herd satyrs they would ruin her.
"Lemme go you buttholes!" Percy yelled swinging his little fists around. He was being held by the scruff of his shirt by a satyr named Cider.
"Kid got moxie," Cider said. He put Percy in a wooden cage.
After capturing Sally and Percy, the Satyrs brought them back to their base. A cave filled with junk and trash that the satyrs have collecting for food.
Sally and Percy we're separated and put in different areas of the cave.
Sally had been subject to the satyr's vulgar gestures, she was somewhat amazed that they hadn't raped her yet.
Sally sat in her cage hugging her knee thinking the worst.
"Now don't be so glum," Sally look up a saw satyr, Barry was unlocking her cage door and enter. Sally got up and distant herself as far as she could.
"Where-where my son?" She asked. Barry smiled showing his yellow sharp teeth.
"He safe, for now, we're just keeping him lock up." Barry corners her closing the gap between them.
"Barry I told you not to touch her," Sally looked over Barry to see another satyr enter.
"I was making sure she comfortable," Barry said playfully sticking out his tongue.
"Get out," Birch points his thumb over his shoulder. Barry signed and walk out of the cage, "See you later babe," he winked at her. Sally shutter with disgust.
Birch walks up to the cage, "I apologize for my cousin's behavior, he quite immature for his age." Birch began to leave.
Sally ran up to the cage door, "Where my son! What do you want from us?" Birch looks back at her with his horizontal pupils, "He safe, for now, and you two are going to help us."
"Help you?"
Birch smiled, "What do you know about the God Pan?"
Sally didn't say anything, Birch continues, "You two will know the meaning of Panic."
Satyr bodies are vastly more stronger and durable than any mortal about seven times more. Their neck, spine, hips, and legs are their strongest part and their skull is like a helmet cover with multiple layers of steel.
But this didn't mean anything to Kratos, he grabs one satyr by his horns and twisted its head a full one hundred and eighty degrees. When a satyr dies their bodies become one with the earth or become a plant.
Kratos uppercut another satyr, breaking its jaw and snapping the head back.
Prometheus blew fire another one and watch its body fall and become ash.
"This not good Kratos, their magic is all over the place," Prometheus said.
Kratos ignores him and moves on.
Pan was missing, some say he was dead, others believe that he was missing. Nearly all of the nature spirits wanted to find the answer.
But some didn't care, what they want was Pan power of Panic , a power so great that even the titans fear it.
Barry explains this to Sally, Birch allows him to guard her and he got bored and began talking to her. Well, it was a one-sided conversation but Sally did ask a question.
"So, you want Pan power, for what?" She asked.
Barry had the answer, "To fix nature, save animals and plants and kill all mortals."
This dark coven wanted to get rid of humanity to save nature.
"Why do you need me and my son then?" Sally asked.
"Experiments," Barry said.
The implication was enough to her heart racing, "Please let us go please,"
Barry didn't have any empathy for her.
Plus the last guy who broke the boss rule got a painful death.
"I'll do any." That caught Barry's attention.
"Anything?"
"Anything." Sally stuck her arm out and rub her finger up Barry's hairy arm. Barry knew this was a bad idea, but he couldn't help himself, for the last three he been watching swim and sunbathe. He wanted this, he could kill her when he was done, say she tried to escape and find another woman for the boss.
He unlocks the door and got in. Sally laid down and Barry got on top of her.
"Are you ready baby?" Barry growled with lust.
"I'm ready, but are you ready?" Sally said in a sultry tone.
Barry was drooling, "Yeah!"
"Good," Sally said and pull the wooden shiv she been working on and stab it in Barry's left eye.
"AAAAHHHH!" Barry rolled off Sally holding his face in agony. Satyr was stronger than mortals but so were a lot of animals, and one good shot to the eye made a difference.
Sally ran out of her cell and quickly lock the cage and bolt off.
Barry ripped the shiv out his head with a loud 'POP!' Something was wrong everything on his left was pitch black. He looks down a shiv, he plucked out his eyeball.
"You fucking bitch!!!" He roared in pain and rage.
Sally just ran. Adrenaline and survival instinct completely took over. She was lucky that she didn't run into any more satyrs, she was wasn't so lucky when she fell into a pit.
"Ow," she moaned, she held her head and felt something and look at her hand that was cover in blood.
She covers in blood. But it wasn't her blood. The smell of blood and rot invaded her nostrils. Sally looking around saw that as a scene from a horror movie. Piles of hack-up bodies and pools of blood filled the pit. Bodies of campers, hikers, and rangers. The youngest were teenage, the oldest had to be in their nineties.
Sally was so horrified she didn't even scream.
"I heard Barry screaming! This way!"
Sally quickly push herself against the pit wall and stay quiet as she could. Something fell against her but she still didn't make a sound.
After a few minutes she decided to move, Sally push the thing off and gasped at what it was; Ranger Greg's corpse. Chopped up and disfigured.
Sally shred a few tears at the bodies of the kind-hearted man she knows since she was a little girl. He didn't deserve this, none of these people did.
Sally managed to get out of the pit, cover from head to toe in blood, with the stink of rot on her. She had to find Percy and get the hell out of here.
She moved quietly, avoid the monsters that were looking for her. But she found her baby.
"Mommy!" She shushes him. The cages were made of wood and rope so it took only a few minutes. Sally grabbed him and made her way out. Slowly moving and hiding until she to began smell fresh rain and earth.
Freedom. Sally and Percy, we're met with a raging storm outside. But it was better than what was in the cave.
Back in the cave, the other satyrs were holding down Barry as they treated him.
"I'm gonna kill her! I'm gonna kill her!"
Birch went looking for a group satyr who didn't show up earlier.
"Find her and bring her back!" He order. The satyr agreed. Not because Barry told them, but if the boss comes here and there no woman for him, they would all be in trouble.
Sally ran and ran holding her son tightly. They were soaking wet from the rain, thankfully it was washing off the blood off her. The bottom of her feet were becoming bloody from the constant running over sticks and rocks.
Then Sally stopped, she found a walking trail she been on multiple times, if she goes south they will make it to the beach. The ocean, Percy will be safe.
Trying to run Sally fell over and drop Percy, she fell into the cold mud. Her legs twitch and her muscle throbbed.
"Mommy!" Percy tries to help her up. Sally tried to stand but fell back down.
Exposure to rain and the nonstop running drain her. It was still a good twenty minutes to get to the beach. She didn't have the energy.
"Percy run!" Sally order in a stern tone.
To pointed in the direction of the beach.
"What?" Percy said. Sally figure that the satyr didn't know Percy was a demigod, Gabe smell must still be on him, which meant she was the main target.
"Percy go to the beach and go into the water!" Sally said. Percy was confused so much was happening, but he was somewhat aware of the danger they were in.
"No!' Percy protested and he wrapped her arms around her neck, "No! I don't wanna leave you, mommy!" He cried.
Sally began crying and hugged him back.
"I love you so much, Percy, I will always love you!" She pulled Percy off her and point in the direction of the beach. "Now go!" She order. Despite the rain, Sally could see the tears and snot running down his face. Percy nodded and ran off as fast he could.
Sally wipes her tear off, regain some of her energy, and speed walks into the wood.
Percy ran as fast as his little legs could to take him. He was cold, wet and scared. His mom was left in the woods with those monsters.
Tears ran down his face, he didn't know what to do than other what his mom told him. He ran and ran until he was grabbed the scruff of his shirt.
"Got him!" Cider said. He held Percy up who balling his eyes out and swinging his fist around trying a land a hit.
"Lemme go! Lemme go!" Percy cried.
"Where his mom?" A satyr name Vines said.
"Barry and his group went here, they'll find. Come let get the brat back to cave."
"No! No!" Percy protested. Vines smacked Percy across his face, making him cry harder.
Panic, fear, anger and so many emotion overwhelmed Percy. Something was unlocked. A creek next was overflowing due to the rain and water reached out and grabbed them.
The satyr was shocked by the fact that they were grabbed by the ice-cold water and knockdown. Percy felt a new surge of energy and ran off.
The satyrs look at each other. "That kid... He made the water move." Vine said.
Cider had heard Zeus broke his oath. Maybe Poseidon did as well.
He got up and ran after the kid. The satyrs right behind. Ahead Percy a pipe sticking out from under a walking path and crawl in it. Cider tried to follow him but he was too big.
"Damn it!"
Percy crawl through the dirty water to another side. On the edge Vines nearly grab him. Percy manages to slip back in and crawl to the center. The satyrs began destroying the walkway and pipe, with their strength it be a matter of minutes before they get him.
Percy curl up into a little ball and began crying. He wanted all this to stop! He wanted the monster to go away! He wanted to his mommy!
BANG!
"Aaahh!"
"Vines!"
BANG!
"Gaaah!"
It was quiet now. The only thing he could hear was the rain and thunder. And someone was walking, Percy could hear someone outside. At the other end of the pipe, he saw a giant boot standing out.
"Are you in their boy?" Percy knew that voice, "Mister Carson?"
"Yes, you safe now." Percy was still scared, but he began crawling out pushing past the leaves and trash. Outside was raining, the satyr was on the ground and had a giant hole through his chest. Percy looked up and saw a giant man with amber eyes looking down on him.
"Mister Carson!" Percy ran out and hugged the man's leg.
"Didn't think you are popular with kid Kratos," another man said. Percy looks at him, he was very tall and had a ponytail. The man was holding a torch.
Kratos ignore Prometheus and kneel to talk to Percy. "Where your mother?"
Percy began to tear up again, Kratos cupped Percy's face with both his hand and look at him in the eyes.
"Focus. Is she still alive?"
Percy didn't know. Prometheus focuses on the Torch. "Yeah she is, but they're getting close to her."
Kratos nodded. He picks Percy and handed him the titan. "Take him to Clark and Molly, if I'm not back by morning get him to the forge."
Prometheus nodded.
Before Kratos dash off Percy called out.
"Mister Carson," Kratos looked at the boy. "Please save my mommy Please!" He begged.
"I will."
Percy held out his right pinky finger, "Pinky promise."
Kratos signed and grabbed Percy pinky with his. "I Promise."
Birch didn't know what happen, he went looking for a group of satyr that didn't show and went looking for them.
He and his group found the remain and track down the one who did it.
They thought they could take him. But he slaughters them so easily. Birch didn't know how he survived, but he didn't come out unscathed.
He tried to attack, the next he knows he sent flying over the treeline from one punch and crash down a mile away.
Birch left arm was broken, his right horn broke off, and he was having trouble breathing.
He was black in and out. But he remembers one thing; those eyes, glowing bright red and filled with rage.
Birch then blackout from the pain.
Sally lost track of time. How long has she been running, was this horrible night ever going to end, was son safe.
She couldn't run anymore, Sally was at her limit, her legs were numb and her lungs burned. Since she stops running she realized how cold she was.
She found refuge in an abandoned cabin. Sally hid upstairs in one of the bedrooms and stay quiet. Every minute felt like hours, the only noise was rain outside.
She was cold and wet, so tired she drifted off. She heard creaking and open her eye. A satyr was smiling at her.
"Found you." He sang.
Sally was tossed in the living room surrounded by satyrs. Barry was there glaring at her, he had a leather eye patch covering half his face.
Sally tries to stand, Barry stops her by stomping on her right leg.
"Kyaaaah!" Sally screamed at the top of her lungs and held her leg. Barry wasn't done with her. He picked her up and slammed him against a wall wrapping his hand around her throat.
Sally tried to fight back, but he was so strong. Her vision went blurry, her face was discolored. Her eye bulging out. Her face began to turn purple.
One of the other satyrs tried to stop him. "Barry we need her alive."
Barry ignored him. The others were concerned, not for Sally, but themselves. If they didn't have a woman for the boss, they might get the Black Roots. Which was an unpleasant way to die.
"Barry stop!"
"We need her alive!"
"The boss-"
"I WILL FIND HIM ANOTHER WOMAN!!" Barry roared at them. The group back off.
"This bitch belonged to me," Barry dropped Sally to the ground, she began coughing fit and struggle to breathe. Barry grabbed her by the hair and dragged her back upstairs.
"You guys stand guard. Behave and you each can have a turn with her."
The rest look at each other and shrugged. 'Oh well,' they thought, 'At least we're gonna get laid tonight.'
Barry tossed Sally on an old bed upstairs. She tried to get off. Barry grabbed her injured leg and squeeze it.
She screams again pain overwhelming her. Barry got on top of her and ripped her shirt off exposing her bare breasts.
"No please!" She cried. Barry greedy licked his lips. "Nice tits babe. Let see what you got down under." He ripped off her pajamas short and panties revealing her womanhood.
"No!" Sally fought harder. Barry was enjoying this. But he was getting tired of her fighting back so much.
Barry restrained her with strips of cloths and stuck a rag in her mouth. Hot tears ran down Sally's face. Barry spread her legs open.
"Don't worry I'll be gentle." The satyr gave evil smile.
'Someone please help me!' Sally prayed.
Barry was ready, he ready to ruined her and get revenge for his eye. He right about to enter her.
"Someone help me!" That came outside. Barry groaned and decide to ignore that.
"Help! Help me!"
"Barry! Outside!"
Barry let a shout of annoyance and went to the window. Outside by the tree Hopps, the satyr was pitifully limping toward the cabin. Barry with his enhanced vision saw that Hopps left arm had been cut and his horns were missing.
"Someone please help, he coming!" Hopps cried out. Several of the satyr inside and out watching him desperate limp for safety.
"He behind me! Please help!"
"What is it, Hopps?" One called from the porch.
A pair of red glowing eyes appear behind Hopps. A man bought his sword down on the wounded monster, he still for a moment, then a vertical line form in the of his body and the satyr body fell to his side in two pieces.
The sword had even sliced through the ground.
The dark satyrs watch in disbelief and horror. The man with red eyes began walking toward the cabin. He walking calmly like on a Sunday stroll.
The goat men didn't know what to do. The essence of this man was unreal. It oozes pure malevolent and rage.
One of them let a battle cry and leap thirty feet in the air with a spear in his hand.
The man pulled an oversized revolver and blew the satyr head off with a single shot. Its headless bodies hit the earth and the spear landed next to him.
Kratos knew this had to be the place. He could sense Sally in the cabin. He bends over and picks the spear. He threw at the cabin window and impaled two satyrs two a wall.
The satyrs attacked, one had his ax shoved into his face. Kratos drove his fist in a satyr skull caving it in, the satyr with the dent in his head walk away a few feet, pee on himself, and fell over dead.
One unfortunate satyr with twisted horns had his jaw shot off, Kratos was merciful to shoot him between the eyes.
Kratos swung his sword horizontally decapitating three dark satyrs at once. Kratos' movements were equally fluid and furious, graceful and deadly. The satyrs fell one by one either shot, slice, and struck to death.
Eventually, one satyr was left, hold his sword shaking like a leaf during a wind storm. Kratos walks up to him and stares down with his red eyes. Kratos wait for the attack. The satyr instead throws his sword aside and ran off screaming into the woods.
Kratos kick down the cabin and walk-in. Abandon furniture cover dust and is eaten away by animals. Kratos walk to the staircase, two satyrs jump out and ran straight toward him. Kratos took a step back and let the satyrs impaled each other. Kratos grabbed them and smashed their heads together.
Kratos went upstairs, each step creaking. He senses two being in the bedroom. He slowly opens the door and walk-in. They were standing in front of the window, Barry had Sally in front of a shield, his hand tightly around her throat.
"I'll kill her I swear." The one-eyed satyr said.
Despite the darkness, Kratos could see everything. Sally was naked and bruised, her eyes bloodshot from crying. There was a massive bruise on her right thigh, a hoof print in the center.
Kratos spoke, "Hand her over and I will make your death quick."
Barry let out a laugh, "Are you fucking serious, no, I'm walking out and this bitch is coming with me!"
Sally let out a scared whimper. Lighting flashed outside illuminating the room for a brief second.
The second was all Kratos needed. In an instant, Kratos moved across the room, he grabbed Sally and kick Barry out the window.
The next thing Sally knew was back on the bed. Kratos took off his jacket and draped it over her.
"I will be right back." Kratos closed the door behind him.
Outside, Barry was struggling to breathe. That kick shatters his ribs. He just needed to get into the woods, he began crawling. Kratos grabbed him by the hoof and swung him over his shoulder and slam him onto the ground.
Blood flew out of Barry's mouth.
"W-wait," the Satyr begged. Kratos wasn't having it and stomp on his chest sending bone into his organs.
Kratos grabbed him by the leg again and began repeatedly slamming the satyr against the muddy ground.
If the ground dry Barry's death would have been quicker. The mud only prolongs it. Kratos continued to slam the dark satyr against the ground; breaking bones, tearing muscles, and snapping tendons. Kratos stopped when he realized the holding a leg, the body went flying and land twenty feet behind.
Kratos went back inside.
Sally was sitting on the bed with Kratos jacket covering her. Kratos open the door and walk.
"Sally." Kratos walk to the bed. She was shaking.
"Sally, your safe." She didn't respond.
"Percy is safe as well," Kratos said, "He with my associates, and they are protecting him."
Kratos sat down next to her. He looks at a broken mirror and saw he was cover with blood.
'Is she scared of me?" He thought. 'Did she me kill them?"
"Has she come to realize what monster you are!" The voice said.
Kratos look at her, he gently held Sally's face in his hands and had her look him in the eyes. Her big blue eye filled with fear.
Sally saw kindness in his amber eyes.
"Your safe." He said.
Sally wrapped her arms around his neck and began crying into his shoulder. Kratos hesitated for a moment and then wrap his arm around her.
"Your safe."
The boss of the dark satyrs came the fading bodies of his subordinate.
"Oh dear." He picks the severed head of one, even dead it still had fear in its eyes.
Minions, they can't do anything right. Just guard the area, and kill whatever mortal they found.
The Boss could sense the bloodlust of whatever kill them still lingering. He began to follow it.
If you want something done right you have to do it yourself.
End.
