Perciper

Chapter 5

Piper pov

As I crawled out from the wreckage, my whole body hurt. I noticed Leo and hedge were already out. But where was Percy? I looked back inside the flipped truck and saw him lying there, a huge gash on his face going from ear to chin dripping blood. "coach! Leo! Help, we have to get him out! " I screamed. They both rushed over to me as I tried to pull him out. "dam I forgot the ambrosia back at school! " hedge said. "ambrosia? " Leo asked. " the food of the gods, it heals demigods" coach said. " Piper, hand me your sweater" he said. I pulled off the sweater I was wearing. He tore it into strips and wrapped them around Percy's head. I kneeled down and put his head in my lap and ran my fingers through his hair reassuring myself he would be fine. "what happened? " asked leo. I looked back to see what hit us, next to the car was a very large rock. "what could be strong enough to throw that? " I asked. " have an idea, but I don't plan on staying here long enough to find out, Leo help piper with percy" hedge said. Leo rushed over and took one arm over his shoulder while I took the other. We started walking. After about a mile we saw a boy wearing all black, black hair and dark brown eyes. He looked no older than 12, next to him was a large black dog. "it's one of those things! " Leo yelled pointing at the dog. "she won't hurt you unless I tell her to" the boy said. "who are you!?" I asked. " I'm Nico Di'Angelo son of Hades, and this is my dog, Mrs O'leary" the boy said. "this here is our ride" said coach hedge. Before any of us could ask there was a loud bellowing noise and the Minotaur came charging out of the woods towards us. "run! We'll take care of this" coach said to us. Me and Leo dragged Percy over to the trees and watched as Mrs o'leary tackled the Minotaur and started biting. Mrs o'leary was suddenly thrown off and into a tree, knocking it down. Coach hedge pulled out his bat which now looked like a club, while the boy, Nico, pulled out a pure black sword. They charged the Minotaur, taking it by surprise. Nico managed to stab it in the calf while hedge was distracting it. They were doing pretty well until coach got thrown into a rock and was knocked unconscious. Nico was now fighting it alone. I looked at Leo, he nodded grabbed a rock and threw it at the beast effectively catching its attention long enough for Nico to stab it in the chest, turning it to dust. Nico, out of , walked over to us and said " you three take Mrs o'leary, I'll take hedge, just get on and whisper campaign half blood into her ear" he said. "what about you?" Leo asked. " I'll meet you there" and with that he took hold of coach hedge and Dias a pea red into the shadows. " well that was creepy" said Leo. Mrs o'leary bounded over to us. "help me lift him" I said to Leo. He helped me lift Percy up onto her back. I jumped in front of him while Leo took back. I leaned Forrest's and whispered into the dogs ear"camp half-blood." without warning she took off straight for a large rock. I only had time to think 'were going to die! ' before we were enveloped into the shadows.
