"Whoa! Why are you taking off your pants?"I asked, wondering why Grover would do such a thing.

I looked at where his legs where supposed to be and gasped in shock. In the place of human legs and feet, were hairy legs and hooves.

"You're half donkey!"I squeaked, not knowing what to say.

"The correct term is satyr and I'm not half donkey. I'm half goat,"Grover informed me as he broke one the back window of Gabe's car with his don-goat legs,putting emphasis on the word,goat.

"Be careful guys! There are remains of glass scattered everywhere!" Grover warned us as we prepared to get out.

ROOAAARRRR!!!!!!!

"W-what was thaat?" I asked, my voice quivering.

"We need to go guys! Now!" Grover exclaimed/demanded, running to a tall hill.

In a matter of minutes, we were at the entrance of this so called "camp" that Grover and Mr.Brunner wanted me to stay. Grover and I rushed through, but when I looked back, I realized that my mother wasn't coming with us.

"Come on Mom! We have to go in!"I yelled, trying to pull her inside.

To my dismay, all my efforts were pointless. There was something blocking my mother from entering. It was as if there was some some sort of barrier separating me from her.

"You have to go in Percy! I am not special like you! Don't worry about me! I'll be fine!!!! Just go! You'll be safe!"my mother pleaded, begging me to stop my attempts.

"NO! I'm not leaving you behind Mom! It's too dangerous!"I yelled back.

Mom finally said,"Honey, I can say the same for you. It's too dangerous for you out here. You're special! Different from other people. I just want to tell you this Percy. I love you. Don't be afraid to let me go! I'll always be here for you whether I'm right next to you or not. So please... Let. Me. Go."

"How I am supposed to let you go?! You're special too!"

"Please listen to me Percy! You're already making this harder than it already is!"

"Why! Why do I have to go?" I asked,tears streaming down my cheeks. "WHY?!!! THIS ISN'T FAIR!"

"Beca-"

My mother was interrupted by something grabbing her by the waist. She disappeared in a blinding gold flash. I stepped out of the entrance and stood, facing the monster that had grabbed my mother. I stood there, paralyzed with shock. Holy mother of Zeus! It's a-

"MINOTAUR!!!!!"Grover screamed.

"What do we do??"Percy asked.

Grover thought for a minute,"The pen Percy!"

"What pen?"I asked confused.

"The pen! You know... The one Mr.Brunner gave you!"

"Oh.... That pen,"I replied as I took the pen out of  my pocket. "What do you want me to do with it?"

"Uncap it!"

"Uhhhhh...... Okay," I said as I uncapped it.

I flinched as the pen had an added weight added to it. I looked at the pen in awe. Now standing before me was a three fly long sword that was bronze like the pen. There was an engraving on it that said Anaklusmos in Greek, For some unknown reason, I found that I understood what it meant,Riptide. I suddenly charged forward at the Minotaur and recklessly swung Riptide, desperate to avenge my mother. I slashed and slashed like there was no tomorrow and it fell into a tree,it's horn got stuck in it and was broken once the Minotaur got back up to to attempt to kill me. Suddenly, all of the feelings I had bottled away inside of me opened. This stupid Minotaur ruined my life! He took my mother away from me! My biological father is a complete douchebag for leaving us! Look, I didn't want to be a halfblood! My life is pathetic. Why me? Why me of all the stupid, ignorant people in the entire Gaea's population? Why me? I'm just a nobody who has an abusive stepfather and a real father who kicked my mom and I to the curb. Why me? I will get my mother back! If it's thing I do!!!!! Instinct overwhelmed me, and I dropped Riptide to get the Minotaur's horn out of the tree trunk. The sword clattered to the ground with loud CLUNK. I staggered back as the horn was torn out of the bark. I ran towards it and slammed the horn into its leg.

ROOOOOAAARRRRRRRR!!!!!!

Then the hill was dead quiet. The Minotaur disappeared, leaving behind yellow monster dust. How is Grover doing? Wait-GROVER!!! Where is Grover? I sighed in relief as I saw that Grover was lying on the forest floor,passed out. I recapped Riptide and put it back in my jacket pocket, Minotaur horn still in my hand. I slowly hoisted Grover onto my back and walked back towards the camp entrance. When I finally arrived, I began to faint from exhaustion. The last thing I remember before I collapsed was falling into the arms of a blonde haired girl with piercing gray eyes. The world faded to black as I lost consciousness.
