I eventually found what I was looking for: it was a large bull man trying to kill me. I ended up grabbing me pretty quickly and made this weird gruffing howling sound that was deeply unsettling. I grabbed one of my arrows that for some reason was now glowing red and used it to stab into its hand which only seemed to make the beast mad.
" Oh my gods, j-just hang on, I'm gonna help you." Ava yelled up at me
"Well that would be nice, '' I said sarcastically.
With Ava having a panic attack by a tree I thought that maybe she wasn't the best person to rely on right now. I also came to terms with that this was in fact not a dream at the same time. The beast made this weird gruff sound as I tried to move to get a better look at the thing without being thrown across the forest, which did not work. I think either my head was still spinning from being thrown at a boulder or Ava had goat legs and was in hand to hand combat with the minotaur.
'You're a goat?' I asked if it was the most important thing at that moment. I fired one of my arrows at the thing which only seemed to make it mad.
"Yes! Now can you help me with thing before it kills both of us?" she said like it was a normal question she's heard before.
"Oh yeah, right" I replied forgetting what we were doing, that happened to me a lot. I didn't know exactly what I was doing but it seemed to be working… kind of? That same moment I managed to climb up the beast back and straddle the beast's neck and wrap both my arms around its horns. Again not sure why it just felt right, like this was the only way to win against this thing since my arrows aren't working. I started to pull back in the horn as the minotaur spun and grapled his head trying to throw me off but could quite reach me at the angle I was at. I eventually ended up pulling off the minotaurs horn and used to go completely feral and stabbed the beast as many times as I could without killing it. The minotaur kept clawing the wounds, making them worse and letting out horrible cries of help that I found mildly amusing. I took one last stab at the beast eye making sure it was gonna die a painful death.
"Holy Pan, i-it happened again" Ava said with a look of horror on her face.
I don't know what she meant by again but I stopped questioning things at this point, and I had other things to worry about. Once I pulled the minotaurs horn out of its own head it… disintegrated? That is the only word I could come up with for what happened to that thing. I feel the ground in the equation and a possible head injury. I was quite passed out, like I was able to walk but I couldn't really recount what had happened from that point on. The only thing I could remember was that Ava was supporting me most of the time that I walked. I wasn't exactly sure how long we were walking but it was a very, very long time. Last thing I remember is that we stopped in front of some sort of an entrance to what I guess was a camp that looked oddly familiar.
The first time I woke up I was in some type of hospital? There are three, maybe four people there. Ava for sure, this man in a wheelchair, a blond boy in what looked like a doctor? And another boy, wait was that… was that the boy from my... dream?
The second time I woke up the blond boy was standing over me, he didn't seem to notice I had woken up, to be fair it was not like I was awake very long. I guessed about 5 minutes I couldn't move though. I couldn't speak, there was some type of mask over my mouth… Could I not breathe on my own? That's when I could feel my heart race and past back out.
The third and final time I woke up Ava and the blond boy were staring at me, like they were waiting for me to wake up.
"Oh My Gods, Will it worked!" Ava screamed.
"Shh give her time she just woke up" the blond boy said. What did Ava say Will was that his name? I could move again. I decided to take advantage of that and sit up and take off the breathing mask that was over my mouth. My head hurt really bad like I had been recovering from a concussion but I just wanted to get out of this place and go home. Wait, if I was here does that mean everything that happened before actually happened?
" Umm, where am I, I think I passed out?" I asked. I felt stupid for asking that, of course I passed out or I wouldn't be in a hospital bed right now.
" hi i'm Will and you are at the camp infirmary" Will said in a very calming voice that made me wanna go back to sleep.
" Umm okay, how did I get here, why am I here? I asked impatiently.
" What you don't remember? You were like a beast the way- "Ava said excitedly.
"Ava we have to be slow with her," Will reminded her.
"Ugh fine, But you are the coolest person i've ever seen" Ava quickly added.
"Thanks, but when can I leave?" I asked
The only answer I got is Ava and Will looking at each other before a guy with dark colored hair came into the room.
