The Eyes of Medusa

Chapter 5

Hannah's POV:

      That's it I'm running! I can't deal with these people anymore! I need Grace!, I thought to myself as I stomped home as rain drops fell from the sky.
      My day went like this: I woke up to see that there had been a thunder storm overnight and there was no longer snow! Next I got dressed in Nike sweatshirt, jeans, and light blue converse and pulled my hair up into a loose ponytail. After that I went down stairs to find a bagel for breakfast. A bagel. Then I went to school and failed at least 5 test because Grace wasn't there to remind me to study. Now I'm here, walking home, which is like 10 miles away from the school, because my parents forgot to pick me up. How can my day get worse?!
      As I stomped through another puddle, I noticed a man behind me.Is he stocking me?, I thought to myself. I decided to stop at a small local bakery to get a coffee to see if he would follow me. And sure enough, he did. He was waiting when I got out, near the ally. I resisted the urge to turn around and punch him for stocking me as I walked away. I guess I didn't resist enough.
I spun around and sprinted towards him, catching him by surprise. I slammed him into the wall. Then kneed him in the gut. I remember Grace once telling me that my anger would get me in trouble. She was right.
The man turned around, his eyes glowing yellow. Then he started to change. His finger nails grew four times their original size and horns grew out of head. A ripping sound filled the air as two huge, leathery, wings sprouted from his back. "Holy [insert cuss word]", I exclaimed as he let out a ear-splitting shriek. I did the only logical thing. I ran.
My heartbeat fast and fast as I ran down the street. When I decided to stop, I was gasping for air. I hide behind a empty car, hoping the creature wouldn't find me. When I heard the scrapping of metal I knew I wasn't safe. I turned to run again and was greeted by monster breath.
      "You will make a great meal, you little creature!", the once-a-man hissed. "Who you calling a creature, you ugly man want-a-be!", I replied with sass.
       I punched the sucker in the face with full force. He stumbled back. If he wants me then he will get me!, I thought as the creature prepared for another attack. "Hey snot bag come and get me!", I yelled. The monster/man thing charged at me. I stepped out of the way and the thing rammed into a car. While the thing was getting it's horns out of the car, I sprinted to it and kicked the monster in a wing. I cringed when I heard a snap, followed by a screech. I grabbed the leathery wing from the ground and danced from the monster. He finally managed to get his horns out of the car and charged at me. I let out a scream and stabbed the creature in the gut with its bony wing.
      "I will get my revenge on you, little demigod! I will get you!", the man/monster promised with its final breathes. Then it dissolved to sand. I took several deep breathes. What was that?  Did I really just kill it? Will it come back?
      Before I could question farther, a familiar voice pulled me from my thought. "Hannah, are you ok?", said Isaac Green, a member of Grace and my small group of friends. I slowly nodded. Besides a few bruises and cuts, I was in good shape. "Hannah, I need to take you to a special place for people with special abilities.", said Isaac gently.
      I replied with anger in my voice," I'm not insane! Grace was real and so was that monster thing!"
      " I know! I need to take you to a place that will protect you. A place that can help you find Grace and your real parents.", replied Isaac again.
      " What would the name of this place be?", I said ,bitting my lip.
     Isaac replied with confidence"Camp Halfblood!"

Author's Note:

Hannah just killed her first monster! *squeals* Remember to comment and vote and blablablabla. Hope you like the nice long chapter!

I just finished Neverseen (if you are a KOTLC fan) and am trying  to get over Keefe's betrayal. I am a strong shipper of Sophitz, but the Sophie-Keefe moments were very sweet and then *BANG* Keefe's goes to the dark side. I hope this didn't affect my writing!
