As they arrived at the pine tree Harper let out a small shriek. Noah pulled her behind a nearby bush. They both looked toward the tree and saw a boy running towards it, they also saw Grover, a satyr, half boy, half goat, lying face down in the grass. Harper let out another shriek as they saw what the boy was running from. It was a Minotaur. There was also a lady running toward the tree but she was much closer to the Minotaur and looked as though she was slowing down. "We should help them" Noah said while trying to get Harper to stand up. Harper didn't answer Noah looked at his sister, she had started to cry and was shaking all over. Noah looked back at the boy and the lady. He realised why Harper was crying. The Minotaur was reaching out for the lady. It picked her up and started to squeeze. Noah sat down next to his sister. He didn't dare look at what was happening to the lady and the boy but he could here screams. He too started to cry. He was having a flash back, a vivid memory flashed before him. He remembered running up that hill with Harper, he remembered looking for his mother, he remembered the big foot of the cyclops that had been brought down on the car that their mother had been in. He remembered the darkness he had felt that night. All the horrid visions that swam around his head. Harper placed her head on his lap and they sat there in silence all that could be heard was the screams of the boy at the tree and the grunt of the Minotaur.
