Sooooooooo, I um, I may or may not have forgotten that i didn't post this chapter yet. So, here we go. Here is Chapter 4.

Disclaimer- I don't own any of Percy Jackson. Some of the dialogue in this is taken from the book with small parts altered.

Hope you enjoy. Reviews are welcome.


Argyros' POV:

We unpacked and relaxed as night started to fall. Everyone scatters to their own rooms as we get tired at around 9pm. I open up my window and lay in the light of the moon, hoping to regain my strength as much as I can before the storm I can smell approaching. I don't mean to, but I fall asleep.

I wake up to rain being blown in on me, completely soaking me. I stumble up, slamming the windows up. Hearing commotion downstairs, I grab my bag and run down. Percy is talking to Grover, who's outside without his pants on. Of course, he's a satyr. That's why he has such a strange smell. Mom is looking pretty freaked out and scolding Percy about something.

I run over, looking to my family with worry. "What's wrong?" I pant. Stars I'm out of shape.

"We need to go. Now." Mom tells Percy and I, fear basically glowing in her eyes.

"Let's hurry then." I smile to her, looking over to Percy. "Sorry P." My brother looks a little confused, but mom snaps him out of it.

"Come on then, out to the car." She ushers us to the door, basically shoving us out.

I hurry to the car, pulling Percy with me, also noticing Grover following us. We slide into the car, soaked. Gabe wouldn't be happy about this if he ever gets this back. I get into the passenger seat while Percy and Grover fall into the back. Mom slams the drivers door shut and starts the car moving faster than I think I've ever seen. She speeds away from the cabin, back to a familiar path for me.

I start to feel the ground shaking and a distinct smell hits my nose. I look back and even through the rain I can see the vague shape. Shoot. This is bad, really bad. My head whips back to look at mom. "Can we go any faster?" I ask, ignoring Percy and Grover's conversation in the back.

"I'm going as fast as I possibly can. It's too fast." Sally looks at me, scared. I know what I have to do. I unbuckle my seatbelt.

"Keep driving, get to safety. I'll slow him down." I tell her, unlocking the door.

"No! What are you going to do?" Mom glances over to me. I know she would take a hand off the wheel if she could.

I take off my hat and toss it into the back. "Remember what I am? I'll be okay. Just, stay safe. Keep Percy safe. I'll slow him down." I tell her, and before she can argue I open the door and roll out. It's a good thing I got my moon bath earlier. I make sure the car keeps going before turning to face the Minotaur.

'No backing down now.' I tell myself, closing my eyes and letting my wolf take over as the rain beats down on me. It's always been a strange feeling to shift in the rain.

I wake up with strange light flooding my vision. Trying to remember what happened to me last, I try and move and everything floods back to me. I groan as I sit up, everywhere in my body aches. Stars I took a beating last night. I lost a lot of my strength over the past year. I'm going to need to camp out a lot to get it all back.

I look around, figuring out my surroundings. I must have moved last night. Stars my head hurts. Where am I? I look around, my head starting to pound. I grumble, pulling off my bag. I take out my canteen and down the whole thing. Much better. My head clears slowly and I can start to get my bearings again. I look up and see something that should have given me my obvious location the whole time. A seemingly simple pine tree. For those who know, a clear symbol of this place. The one place I shouldn't be.
