This is Who I Am

Chapter Eighteen

Leo, Dàsos and I have been on the road for a few weeks now, and I have no idea if I should tell him about demigods and wizards. He seems like he would be a demigod, who is parent is I have no idea. He was able to eat the ambrosias and not turn into a ball of flam. But i have no idea if I should or not. Mom, help? But I'm not using my 'three wishes' on this boy right now. I just need some help. Maybe I should ask Aphrodite? She said I can ask her for help, this is technically her part of this stupid quest. I honestly don't know.

Hey Dàsos? What do you think I should do?

I don't know... I'm just a wolf. I don't have things like this to deal with! I just do what you say and chase squirrels when your not looking.

Thanks dude. Sooooo much help here.

Just doing my job! SQUIRREL!

I laugh as Dàsos runs off chasing a squirrel, but he soon comes running back with his mind screaming.

THE SQUIRREL CHANGED!!! IT CHANGED! IT NO LONGER A FLUFFY SQUIRREL! IT LOOKS RABBID!! IVY!!!! GET IT!!!

What the Hades. I ran into the direction of the 'rabbid squirrel' with my daggers in hand. Leo started to yell after me.

"Hey! Where you going? Whoa! Why you got those knives things? What's going on?" I looked back at him. I have a feeling those squirrels aren't just rabbid, I think they might be a bit monster-ized.

"Leo grab Dàsos and go hide. I mean it. Go run. I'll find you two." He didn't like this idea.

"What! No! Are you crazy?! I'm going no where with out you! Now get your crazy butt over here now!" I looked at him. I shook my head, I have to go see if these little squirrels are dangerous or not. And if they are then I can't have him in trouble like that. Dàsos will keep him safe...for the most part he will protect him.

Dàsos, I need you to take Leo. I don't know how long I will be, but it could get bloody. I want you to look after him no matter what. Okay?

Okay. Ivy?

Yeah?

Kick some squirrel bootie.

Okay. I laughed, Strange wolf.

I looked at Leo, he looks so determined to keep me with him. It was cute. But his cuteness was about to be wasted.

"I'm going. I'll be back in a few minutes. Dàsos. You know what to do. Don't let him out of your site." My trusty wolf nodded his head and tugged at Leo's pant leg, tugging him away from me. The boy with curly hair sighed and followed the wolf. I turned around and went to go see the possible dangerous squirrels.

I pulled my bow and arrows out, knocking an arrow in place. Slowly I walked around the trees, searching the treetops. I didn't see anything. They must have left, I walked back you the woods but still in guard. Just in case one decides to jump out. I made it back to where Leo and Dàsos was. I quickly transformed my bow and arrows and walked over. My wolf looked at me expectingly, I just shook my head. I looked back up to Leo.

"Come one elf dude. We had to get back moving." I went in the opposite direction of where the squirrels could be and continued forward.

"Elf dude? Really? That's the best thing you can think of? Alright plant." I laughed.

"Plant? Really?" I mimicked him. "That's the best you can come up with?" He grinned.

"At least I didn't call you poison Ivy. Hey! That's a great supper villain name! Poison Ivy!" I have him a look. One that clearly states he is absolutely stupid. "Don't give me that look! I thought it was great!"
