The Daughter of Dionysus

The Sacred Leopard

Nadia's P.O.V.

           I knocked on the door of the estate. A maid opened and gave me a quizical look. With a winning smile, I said, "I came to talk with Mr. Elliot about a sponsorship for my horse and I," She opened and let me in. I pretended to know where I was going until she disappeared to call Mr. Elliot. I have to move quick.
          I followed the smell of animals to a vast garden with enclosures here and there. I found the felines and located the leopard. That must be him. Unlike most animals, his eyes were full of rage and demanding. I aproached him slowly. He seemed to notice me, but he didnt do much.

          "Come," I coaxed, "I want to help you," He gave me a bored look and continued to pace angrily. "Come," I ordered, "Move your lazy butt over here so I can get you out of this hell hole," He seemed to take me a little more seriously. "It wasn't a suggestion. It was an order," I snarled, "I am Nadia Mountrose, daughter of Dionysus, and I order you to come here!" He moved toward the fence, as if to say, sweetie, there's a fence here. I imagined tearing that fence apart and getting this over with.

          Grape vines sprouted and did exactly that. The leopard jumped through and landed beside me. I patted his head, "Good boy," For some reason I knew he wouldn't hurt me. I whistled and Hurricane flew in. Near by, a scream was heard. I turned to find Adam and Angelle escaping from a way oversized black hound. "Run and find the daughter of Hades," I instructed to the leopard.

         He bounded off and I jumped on Hurricane. Kicking at his sides, I screamed, "Hey you goth puppy!" The hound aknowledged me, but its gaze was fixed on the twins. I growled in my throat. This is a stupid idea. Hurricane flew directly above the hound and I jumped on its back. Hurricane swept down and Angelle pulled her brother onto the pagasus. I took out my sword quickly, while trying to stay on, and stabbed the hound. It disolved into dust and I dropped to the ground. I swear they owe me a huge favour.

Grace's P.O.V.

           Where is Nadia? I paced nervously outside the estate. Out of nowhere, a huge leopard jumped and sat near us. Jeremie and I exchanged worried glances. Then, things got weirder. Angele and Adam came down on Hurricane. No Nadia. "Nadia, dog, sword, Oh my flipping gosh!" Adam sputtered.

Angelle caught her breath, "A hellhound was chasing us. Nadia is fighting it. Goodness, she is a demon when she fights!"

           Out of the blue, Nadia came running into our temporary camp. "Move move move!" she snapped, "I said MOVE! The whole pack is coming after us!"

"Pack?" I asked.

"Yes," she snarled, "a whole pack of hellhounds are at our heels! So move your lazy buts!"

"I can help with that," said someone, who i guessed was my brother, fr behind us, "Need a lift?"

Nadia jumped on Hurricane and nodded, "Get them out of here,"

"On it," Nico answered.

Jeremie tossed her bow and full quiver to Nadia, "You'll need that,"

She smirked, "Thanks," With a kick at Hurricane's sides, she flew to shoot down the pack of hellhounds. The leopard bounded after her. What the heck?! Is that Nadia's new pet?
