A camp half blood experience¹

Minotaur

"Wait, so you're saying I have a godly parent?" I asked in disbelief.

"Yes, it is why you have a missing parent," said Grover, who was in the seat next to me, "I am a saytr, I help bring half blood to camp. This time, I was given two people to bring,"

This made me more confused.

"We got another issue right now," Sally said, concentrating on the road.

"What is that thing?" Percy yells.

I turn my head to the back window and see a horned monster coming at full speed toward us.

"That's a minotaur," Grover said.

I was too stunned to speak.

I couldn't wrap my head around the fact that a monster or Minotaur was chasing us.

Sally started driving faster. She was most likely way over the speed limit.

I was so lost in my thoughts.

What broke my thoughts was the sound of the window breaking and the horn of the minotaur on the wheel.

Everyone is frightened at this point.

I try to find something to hold on to in case we crash.

I noticed I'd forgotten to put my seat belt on, so I go to do that.

Before I am able to buckle, Sally yells, "Hold on!"

She turns the car, and we're spinning.

I screamed.

Then everything goes black.

I wake up to Percy, trying to wake me up.

"I need help getting Grover out," he says faintly.

I feel dizzy, but I try to get out.

A wave of dizziness hits me, and I am unable to open the door.

Percy helps me as I get out.

He probably realized that I was a bit lightheaded.

"Thanks," I say quietly.

I go to open Grovers' door, and Percy goes to Sally.

I help Grover out.

Grover is unable to walk, so I asked Percy for help.

We kept walking, and then we stopped.

"This is it. That's the tree," said Grover. He sounded a little sad.

Sally looked at Percy.

"Let's give them a little space," Grover whispered in my ear.

I helped him walk a little further from Sally and Percy.

I couldn't help but listen to them talk.

Sally was telling Percy that she had to leave him.

I felt bad, but I couldn't help but realize that I was leaving my pregnant stepmother behind.

I didn't know how long it was until I saw her again.

Percy was still in denial when we all saw the minotaur.

I froze.

"Give me your jacket," Sally said to Percy.

"What? Why?" Percy responded, handing Sally his jacket.

I begin to panic. It feels like I'm going to have a panic attack.

I couldn't hear anything except mumbling, the rain, and my own heartbeat.

I see Sally go toward a tree and hold up Percy's jacket.

I stand their in shock.

I see the Minotaur grab Sally by the neck and pick her up like she was nothing.

She fades into gold dust.

I started backing away slowly

Percy took out a pen.

I thought he'd lost his mind until he uncapped it, and it turned into a sword.

I heard Grover yell, "Percy No!"

I turn around to see Grover on the ground.

I devise I plan to go get help.

I run to Grover.

"You okay here for a minute?" I ask in a rush.

"Y-yeah, why?" He asked.

I don't respond and start to run up the hill.

"Y/n?" He says, now very confused.

I continue to run up the hill.

Another wave of dizziness struck me, and I found a tree to latch onto.

It must've been from the car crash. I could've still been affected in some way.

I latch onto one tree to another until I see a pathway and an arch that says camp half blood.

I look back at the Minotaur fight and see percy on the minotaurs head.

I found a little strength to walk to the arch.

"Help! Minotaur issue" Those were the only words I could say until I fell to the floor and started to faint.

The last thing I see is that some people come toward me.

Then darkness.
