Selina's POV-
Then next few hours we started to pack. I shoved in my bags a ring, Chapstick, a fresh pair of clothing, my sword, my bow and arrows, and that's it. I cleaned myself up and got dressed then we went to see Chiron. He gave us nectar and ambrosia squares. He reminded us not to eat any unless it is a emergency.
Then we hiked up the hill. We were taking a bus to Hollywood.  Luke rushed up as Chiron was talking to us.
"Hey Percy!"

Percy turned around. Luke was carrying a shoe box. He opened the box and said, "I wanted to give you these."
There were a pair of shoes in the box. They suddenly sprouted wings. Luke caught them before they flew away. Percy started blushing before he said thanks.
Annabeth was about to pass out.  She had this really big crush on Luke.  They would be cute together in my opinion.
"I know Luke meant well, but Percy you can't use those. You would be in Zeus' dome." Chiron said frowning at the box of converse shoes.
Percy handed them to Grover.
"Me?" Grover said confused.
"Yeah, enjoy." Percy said.
Grover put them on and his body speeded towards the grass planes.
"YOU JUST NEED PRACTICE!" Chiron called out to Grover. 
Chiron talked to Percy for a moment and Percy came back with a pen,
Not just a pen but a sword. We left to get on a bus.
On the bus we waited and for a while nothing happened. Then three old ladies came onto the bus. 
The three Furies or Kindly Ones. They traveled from Hell to attack us.
I can see why though. Percy and I were not meant to be alive,
"Kindly ones," I whispered to Isabella. 
"I can see that."
I rolled my eyes. Two sat in the front of the bus and crossed their legs. It made a formation of a "x". I knew what it meant.  The message was simple. No one leaves. 
"I need to go to the bathroom," one Furies announced.
"So do I," announced another.
"So do I," the final one announced.
Annabeth gave Percy her cap.

"Percy you are the one they want, you need to hide."
Percy sighed and put it on.  Then the Furies attacked.
"Where is it?" The three screeched.
Grover threw cans at one. I shot one with my new bow. Isabella punched the one I was shooting to death. Christopher started kicking the one Grover was throwing cans at.  Annabeth was piggy back riding the last one.
You could say we were ready.
But then the Furies used their whips.  We dodged as many as we could. I finally sliced one with my sword. Annabeth was still piggy back riding hers. Then the bus randomly turned.
It was Percy.
We could hear the driver yelling as we were jolted around. I helped Grover while Chris and Isabella helped Annabeth. Then we felt the bus stop. All of the passengers fled out, leaving us to our battle. Annabeth was still waving her knife telling them to back off. Suddenly they all turned to Percy, who had taken off his cap, with their yellow teeth bared. We stalked up behind them looking for an opening.
Percy brought out his sword. The Furies looked nervous.
"Percy, watch out!" I shouted seeing a Fury lash her whip around his sword. Percy stuck a Fury with the hilt of his sword sending her back into a seat. Then he sliced one.
We grabbed the one in the seat and held her. Grover snatched out her whip.
"Ow!" he yelled. "Ow! Hot! Hot!"
Grover tied the last one with the whip, while she kept on kicking and hissing. Finally we shoved her into the aisle. She finally couldn't get up.
"Zeus will destroy you!" she promised. "Hades will have your soul."
"Braccas meas vescimini!" Percy yelled.
It meant "Eat my pants!"
"Please don't eat his pants!" I shouted.
Percy blushed a bit then we felt thunder shake the bus.
"Get out!" Isabella yelled. "Now!"
I grabbed my bag, and ran out.
We rushed outside and found the other passengers wandering around in a daze, arguing with the driver, or running around in circles yelling,"We're going to die!"
"Our bags!" Grover realized. "We left our—"
BOOOM!
Passengers ran for cover as the bus exploded. Lightning shredded a huge crater in the roof, but an angry wail from inside told me that the Fury was still alive.
"Run!" Chris said. "She's calling for reinforcements. Hurry!"
We ran into the woods as rain started to pour on to our heads. The bus was in flames behind us, but nothing but darkness ahead.
