"No one smashed out the windows from inside our cabin," Grover said. "Someone smashed them from the outside..." He added. The lady looks at him shocked. "Oh!" The animal in the bag shaking.
"Yes, sweetheart. I know, I know" She spoke to it. "Ma'am, I think I'm allergic to that animal," Nova said as she started fake coughing. The woman looked at the girl with a glare.
"Oh! Maybe you wouldn't mind moving would you?" She said irritation laced through her words. "I very much would." The lady then started to talk to the animal. "Oh! But we're almost there" The animal growls. Nova looking at Annabeth.
The woman then suddenly stood up, facing the four. "This isn't your fault. Sadly, you're going to have to bear the burden of your parents' mistakes today." She spoke.
"Listen lady" Percy started. "I don't know who you are, but I think I know what you are." The lady's head snaps to look at him. "We've run across a few monsters like you and we've sent them all packing." Nova lets out a muffled laugh. Someone's sassy.
"Monsters like me?" She asked with a glare. "Well, of course, they're like me." She continued. "They were my children" The woman stated. "Oh shit," Nova whispers. "Children?" Percy asked. "What does that mean?" Nova looks at the boy. "She's the mother of the monsters..."
"Echidna," Annabeth informed making the lady chuckle. The bag then started to shake. "Monster, It's an odd word, considering my grandmother is your great-grandmother, this has always been a family story." No way.
"To my eye, the demigod is the more dangerous creature." Her words cause the kids to scoff. "Disruptive." She continued. "Violent. If I exist for anything, it is to stand in the way of monsters, like you." She explained as your table stared at her in disbelief.
"My little one here, she's just a pup now." The lady smiles. "Bless her heart. Today, you will be her prey." Nova discretely taps Annabeth's leg with her own. The girls looked at each other and nodded. "Are you afraid yet?" She asked.
"It's alright, fear is natural." The lady smiled at them. "It's also essential to the hunt, your fear, your doubt, and your confusion" The woman stated.
"I needed you to understand what was happening so that she could track the scent." Nova looked at the woman confused.
"So that she could learn and grow, because that's what a good mother does for her children." Well, she's not a good mother. "Not that you would know." The woman grumbled. The zipper of the bag slowly opens.
"You should run now." Nova took her chance and started to find a place to hide. Annabeth using a knife stabbed the creature in the tail. Percy getting hurt in the shoulder. "No sweetheart!" Echidna screamed. Nova ran out of her hiding place. Grabbing Percy's hand she motioned the other two the group ran.
