I hope this one isn't too bad. I'm pretty sure it's 80% better than the last chapter so, yeah... Bye for now! And DisneyKaye, did you have to tag me?

Piper's POV

   I wildly looked around not sure where I was. I saw Carter, passed out on the floor. I happened to have a rock in my pocket so I threw at him checking if he was actually alive. Unfortunately he got hit in the face by the rock but on the bright side, he woke up! "Ugh, why'd you do that for?" He asked getting up.
   "To wake you up," I explained
   "There are better ways to do it," he handed me my rock.
   "What's the last thing you remember?" I asked.
   "Talking Setne,"
   "Oh, so that's who that guy was,"
   "Yeah,"
   There was an awkward silence. "Where are we?" I asked.
   "Probably some sort of prison made by Setne," Carter said.
   I looked around. It was just a plain room made of all what seemed to be metal. There were no doors, no tunnels, nothing. "Jason and the others must be close," I said.
   Carter felt the wall. "Huh," he mumbled.
   "What?" I asked.
   "It's just that, this isn't any type of material I've felt before," he said. Suddenly, there was a loud boom, then a thump. Carter had backed away quickly. Where he was standing in between was the gap between the horn like shapes. "Umm, what is that?" Carter squeaked.
   "A monster," I whispered.
   The thing charged again by the sound sound of the loud thuds. The monster had broke the wall with it's horns making two marks on the wall. I could now see what it was, the Minotaur. "Oh no," Carter whispered.
   We were now all the way on the back wall. The Minotaur charged towards the two holes and ripped the wall into one big hole big enough for him to fit through. It looked at us then, charged. At the last moment, both of us ran out of the bull's way. "Go!" I said pointing towards the hole.
   He nodded and ran out, I followed, the Minotaur did not, his horns were stuck in the wall but not for long.
   We were now in maze built with the same material as the room we were in before. The Minotaur now came out of the room and charged to us. I looked at Carter. "Go!" I told him (again)
   We ran through the hall, not looking back. After a while, I looked back, the Minotaur was catching up. "Go faster!" I told Carter.
   We sped up. I felt for Katropis but remembered that I never bring it to school. "Do you have a weapon?" I asked Carter
   "Well..." He started. "I'm not sure if it'll work against that,"
   "As long as it's a weapon, it'll work," I said.
   We started slowing down, tired. The Minotaur stopped running and rubbed the floor getting ready to charge. "Hurry!" I told Carter.
    "Okay," he said.
   He closed his eyes. "What are you doing?" I asked
   "Shh!" He said.
   He reached down and suddenly his hand disappeared. It reappeared with a curved sword. "Why's it bent?" I asked.
   "That's how Egyptian swords are!" He said.
   The Minotaur started to charge, as soon as it got close enough, Carter swiped the sword and the Minotaur exploded into golden dust. "Well, that was easier than I expected," Carter said putting away the sword and wiping his hands.
   Suddenly, the golden dust started reforming into the Minotaur again. Now, there were two. "Oh come on!" Carter said. Getting out the sword again.
   "There's only one Minotaur!"
   "Then how are there two?"
   "I don't know!"
   We started running again. I heard footsteps coming from the end but anything was better than this. We got to the end of the hall where the turn was and found... A very confused looking Jason. "Piper!" He said, then he saw two Minotaurs. "Oh..." He said getting Gladius.
   I stood behind Carter and Jason as they started to fight the Minotaur. I felt bad not doing anything but, there wasn't much I could do. Jason ducked as the Minotaur attempted to punch him. I heard more footsteps coming down the hall, it was two cyclops. "Oh great," Jason muttered.
   I really wished I had a hairbrush right now so I could be like Rachel, just like pow, pow, pow! I've been spending too much time with Leo, I thought to myself. I slowly started to back away. "Umm..." I said as the cyclops started towards me. Suddenly, a sword went right through it's chest as it exploded to gold dust. Jason half smiled at me and continued. All I did was try to avoid the monsters. Finally, we were all standing in a big pile of gold dust. It disappeared. "Well, at least we found each other," Jason said.
   "Yup," Carter agreed
   "Let's get out of here just in case they come back," I said.
   We started walking in silence which gave me time think. "Hey," I said finally. "Since all of us are here, do you think this means Annabeth, Leo, Sadie, and Rachel are here too?" I asked.
   "Probably," Jason said.
   "I just hope their not in any trouble," Carter said shaking his head. "All together the monsters would probably be able to smell them better,"
   "Yeah..." I said
   Suddenly, I heard a loud roar signaling that the Minotaurs and cyclops both had recovered. "Let's go!" I said
