The Running Of The Bull
When I came to Cody and I was bound to robes. Our backs touching each other. Cody was still unconscious, Friday was no where to be seen, neither is Priscilla. Or her friends.
We were in a giant forest, trees hung high as the sun shone onto the ground. A cave was next to us, but I could hear something breathing inside of it.
"Cody..wake up." I whispered, trying to reach for my pocket knife.
"Cody....Friday ate your Pizza." I whispered.
"I'm up! " Cody jolted awake, his eyes wide as he looked around the area. "What happened? "He asked.
"Oh I'm sorry, did you not see me go unconscious before you? "I whispered back.
Cody growled, then craned his neck to see the cave. Two glowing red eyes appeared inside of it. "Uh...Becca."
I silently cursed myself as I managed to grab hold of the small pocket knife. I frantically started to cut the robes, glancing up every so often to see the creature.
A body of a bull crept out of the shadow, it's eyes glowed red, puffs of smoke pillowed out of it's nostrils. Ready to put us into peices.
"Almost..." I muttered, the robes almost broken.
Cody glanced towards me, then the bull, then me again. "Any time now!! "
The robes broke, I stood up and grabbed our backpacks that were nearby. "COME ON!! " I shouted as I started running away from the bull. Thingy ..
We ran through the thick forest,which seemed to grow thicker the more we ran. The bull was speeding up on us.
"Have you seen Friday!? " Cody shouted as he jumped over a log. "No!! But I think we should worry about us right now." I panted, my black hair flying all over the place.
Suddenly I felt myself being lifted off of my feet. Cody stopped running and stared at me wide eyed. "Becca!! Hold on!! "He shouted.
The bull grabbed hold of me and threw me up high into the air, wind rushed into my ears, birds flew by (astonished to see me) and the clouds ran past me.
I screamed as I stared to fall back into the ground, Cody was down below trying to run away from the bull, and follow me.
"CODY!! " I screamed, even though the winds silented my voice.
Suddenly I was rammed into a tall tree. My hair full of leaves and my arms were filled with deep cuts. I groaned as I saw Cody climbing up the tree. Of course the bull was trying to follow, but fortunately it's not a very good climber.
"What do we do?! " I asked, rubbing my arms.
"Live!! That's what we do!! "Cody shouted. Then he grabbed my arms,soon we started jumping from tree branch to tree branch.
Behind us the bull knocked down each tree in it's way. Almost like we were It's only target
"I think I see something over there." Cody said, pointing to a small black object.
"That's Friday!! "I said, realizing who it was. Friday barked happily when he saw us.
We jumped down from the trees and ran along side from Friday. How big is this forest?
I saw a glimpse of someone not far. He had jet black hair, an orange shirt, and he was looking for something. "Look!! " It panted, pointing to the boy.
Cody saw the boy then shouted, "Hey get outta the way!! "
The boy swiveled around, his sea green eyes widened when he saw the bull chasing after us.
He took out a small ballpoint pen from his jacket, acting like it was a weapon. I shook my head in disbelief, but kept running.
Cody and I managed to glance at each other, but then decided it was best to keep running.
When I glanced back to the boy he had a sword in his hand. Where did he get the dang sword?! Well anyways he ran up to the bull and started swinging the sword around. Taunting him.
The bull seemed to have more interest in us than him. Because he threw Percy aside and chased us again.
A cliff was not far ahead. But we were at the bottom of it. "Now what?! " Cody asked when we saw we were cornered.
The bull walked more slowly. Knowing we had no where to go, of course we don't.
"Nice bull. " I said sweetly ....the bull's eyes turned blood red, then he started charging at us.
Cody and I screamed, knowing it would be our last day. I shut my eyes closed, afraid of the outcome.
Then, I don't hear anyting...I open my eyes and saw the boy with his sword standing over a pile of dust. He was panting hard, but, Cody however was still screaming.
"Hey genius....we're alive." I whispered.
"Not for long..." Another voice hissed. Priscilla and her two friends emerged from the thick forests .
"Long time no see Priscilla. You look lovely as ever." The boy said.
"Oh you flatter me....but I'm gonna have to Kill you." She said, claws sharpened.
"You do this every month but what happens? "The boy asked.
Priscilla hesitated then spoke. "You turn us to dust. And send us to Tartarus!! "
The air shifted, bringing a tense silence between the two. The boy's knuckles turn white from gripping his sword.
"Look I have to meet Annabeth. So should I just kill you now or??? " He said.
"I believe I deserve a turn!! " Priscilla charged forward.
The boy advanced, and the fight began.
