Piper's pov
On the other side, in the narrow path between the river and the cliffs, voices snarled, getting louder as they approached from upstream.
Piper tried to steady her breathing.The voices sounded vaguely human but that meant nothing. She assumed any thing in Tartarus was their enemy. She didn't know how the monsters had failed to spot them already. Besides monsters could smell demigods ---especially powerful ones Jason, son of Zeus. Piper doubted hiding behind a boulder would do them any good when the monsters caught their scent.
Still as the monsters got nearer, their voices didn't change in tone. They uneven footsteps---Scrap, clump,scrap,clump---didn't get any faster.
"Soon?" One of them asked in a raspy voice, as if she'd been gargling in the Phlegethon.
"Oh my gods I told you it's like three days from here." Said another voice this one sounded much more older like a middle age girl getting annoyed with her children.For some reason she sounded familiar to Piper.
Jason gripped Piper's wrist. He looked at her in alarm, as if he recognized the middle age women's voice.
There was a chorus of growls and grumbling. The creatures---maybe half a dozen, Piper guessed--had paused just on the other side of the boulder, but still they had no indication that they'd caught the demigods's scent.
Who do you think the middle aged woman is and who are the people she is traveling with Tell me in the comments!!!!???
