Angry Satyrs
A tall redhead girl was feeding a disk into a machine, and the disk cover read 'lord of the rings 12'. There's no such thing, so I'm confused.
She turns towards me and snaps. "Well, are you going to start the movie or not?"
Then I take a walk outside down a concrete path to a holly tree. At the holly tree, I stop, because I hear a voice calling.
Somehow I know it's Great, mother earth, and I think I know it's her because of the gigantic, ugly face that just popped up on the hill.
"I'm going to destroy the world, little fiend, and this time, none of your pesky friends can stop me!"
"You're the little fiend!"
She laughed so loud she caused an earthquake. Congratulations earth spit. You destroyed your own face.
Then I was standing next to a trash can, which wasn't the nicest place in the world, and a ballpoint pen was lying next to me on the road. A battle raged around me and lots of teens lay on the floor with head, chest and stomach wounds. They were either dead or dying. I picked up the ballpoint pen and raced for the nearest store, a low wooden building with 2, 3 floors and a lot of hiding places where I could wait out the battle. I tried the door, but it just rattled loudly. I throttled the doorknob and turned to the window. And I jumped in Skulduggery style. Meaning doors are for people with no imagination, so I'm trying the window instead. I landed on the stairwell, and when I looked back to see if I'd actually gone through the door, I saw two Satyrs standing there as if they'd just been dragged out of bed and were waiting for breakfast.
"There!" The shorter of the two screeched, then swung his club at me. Instinctively I ducked, ran some more stairs, and looked back again. This time, a large titan stood there. He charged, and I ran.
I fled up the last few steps and burst into a battle. Not again! I came here to seek sanctuary, and for those of you who don't understand that, I'm saying that I came here to hide.
I ran for the corridors. I tried the first door in the left. Locked. I tried the right side. Monsters having a tea party. I tried the next door, ran right through because I think I interrupted the tea party, and I could hear the uglies yelling. I fell through a hole and the ceiling swallowed me up.
I get up and dust myself off, then check my surroundings. It's a tall, dimly lit, what looks like a hall, with sandy walls that don't look safe enough to be your typical California vacation cabin. The walls began to shatter (yup, not safe) and I ran for the nearest tunnel that had a hot, dry breeze blowing through it. Instinct. Don't blame me if I end up on the moon.
The tunnel opened back out to the warehouse, which was a bummer, cuz I wanted to get out of this stinking place. But the giant was facing me with cruel eyes glittering like I was his Christmas toy, or I was about to become his Sunday lunch, or perhaps both.
"YOU! FEISTY ONE, DINNERTIME!"
"Uh, me?" Pretty dumb question, considering he was glaring right at me.
He glared at me some more, and nodded like I was actually making sense.
"Ok, but I think that being eaten isn't on my top ten to-do list at the moment. Thanks for the offer! I'll come back tomorrow if I want to be eaten." Then I added under my breath,"not!"
He marched forward.
"You should know better than to pick a fight with him!" I turned to see the owner of the voice. Foolish mistake. In the moment of distraction, Big Ugly Mr Glaring slammed his spear onto the ground and I flew back several metres. Right into a wall. I know this is a dream but I could feel it and it seriously hurt. Before I passed out (can you pass out in a dream?) I saw a tall, black haired guy start to battle the giant, and a frizzy redhead girl leaned over me just as waves of darkness engulfed me.
I woke in a bed. In a white painted metal room. With rusting metal bar doors. Terrible. The redhead leaned over me again. She seemed to have a twin next to her, doing the exact same thing. Then my eyes focused and I realised I had been seeing double.
"Try not to move. You hit the wall pretty hard."
She went back to work soothing my forehead with a damp cloth. I, of course, ignored what she said and sat up. I felt dizzy, but I wasn't going to show weakness.
"Who are you?" Wow. I sounded terrible. I sounded like I had a sore throat and I was trying to speak through a pillow. And on top of that, my chest hurt from saying three words.
"I am Rachel Dare."
"The movie girl?"
"Ah, yes, but please do not refer to me as the 'movie girl'. I am the host of the Oracle of Delphi.
"Congrats." I said sarcastically.
She sniffed, but offered no further explanation of who she was or what all this crazy stuff was about.
"Please follow me."
She led me to a balcony made of glass, which didn't sit well with my stomach because we were a million floors up. I felt like puking, but I think Rachel preffered to have a relatively clean balcony.
After she explained all this crazy stuff, how there were two Satyrs standing guard outside her home to see if I came here, and saying that they were bound to come up in two minutes, so I should run and get out while I could. She would give the signal. Oh yes, and she told me to head for the woods, through to a mega mall. She said that a friend of hers was waiting for me there. I was wondering who would want to help me. I was running away and trying to stay alive. So far, 100% success. I'm pretty sure I was still alive. #MadSurvivalSkillz.
By the time she had finished yammering on about this, that and whatnot, the two minutes was up And could hear an angry pounding on the metal door of the balcony. Rachel caught my eye. She mouthed something. Run. At least, I'm pretty sure that's what she said. She opened the door and I understood. I barged past the two startled Satyrs and sprinted for the stairs as if my life depended on it. Which it did.
I raced down the stairs like a lunatic and hopped the last few steps. I went round and round till I heard voices. The Satyrs. It was impossible, but true. I army crawled under the nearest table, luckily it had a long tablecloth, with velvet drapes that smelled like pine and grape, which probably covered my scent, as Rachel had mentioned that demigods smelled like food to monsters. Never thought I smelled like roast Sunday lunch. Wonderful. The Satyrs were turning round my way and I tried to tuck my feet in, but the table seemed to be shrinking. So I slipped out from under the table and burst through a nearby doorway. The Satyrs attacked the table and I left them to it and ran for the farthest door from the entrance of the maintenance hatch. This maintenance place looked like the first floor of my home. I headed for the door that would be the bath room (lovely, I know) and rushed through to find myself in an underground parking garage. It smelled like sulfur and sour milk, so I raced through with my shirt over my nose. When I found the entrance and came out, I saw woods. The woods that Rachel was talking about? Try it? Why not?
Sorry to dissapoint you all. That was the end of the dream. :C
