The Rise of Demigods, Book 1: The Magical Maze

Chapter 7: Giant wolves. Why is it always giant wolves? -Gurnaaz

We walked down the road until Ryan moaned, "How much longer??"

"I don't know," Tina said. "Also...we should have a break."

"I agree," Jack said.

"They're right," Ishaandeep said, maybe talking to me. "Let's take a break, guys."

We all sat down, drank some water and ate some food.

"So..." I said. "Where are we actually supposed to go?"

"I don't know," Ryan managed to say, even though he was stuffing food into his mouth.

After we ate, we were going to continue until...

"Um guys," Ishaandeep said. "there's something or someone stalking us."

"How?" Ryan asked.

"A feeling," Tina said, like she knows about feelings more than Ryan does.

"We should continue, or would you like to see what the thing is?" I asked.

"Yeah," Tina said, I wasn't sure which question she was answering. "If it's following us, it might not be good, I say we fight it."

"I agree," Jack said, holding his sword.

"Alright," I said, holding my hair clip(I decided to wear it in my hair today.). "If I die, you'll be the one to blame."

"Don't worry," Ishaandeep said.

I then gently pressed my pin, and as everyone watched it transformed into Golden Strider, my beloved bow, that was gifted to me by my father, Apollo.

"Woah..." Jack said.

"I agree, Woah," said Ryan in unison with Jack.

We stood, holding our weapons until I said, "Alright, this is stupid, we should just go."

"Um..." Ryan said, putting down his dagger. "Actually we should go."

"Alright," Tina said, turning her sword back into a pen and putting it in her pocket. "Let's go guys."

"Fine," Ishaandeep sheathed his swords. "If I'm right you'll be blamed."

"Doesn't matter,"

We walked for a while until we came across an old shop. It was abandoned and no one was there.

"Huh," I mumbled, sounding not surprised. "I wonder why this is here in the middle of nowhere."

"I guess we could see if there is anything in there," Ryan said.

Ishaandeep looked deep and thought, then said, "This time, I'm sure something's wrong."

"Okay? What is it?" I asked, getting a little annoyed. "Like, nothing has attacked us."

"Yet," Tina corrected. "Maybe he's right."

"I don't think he's right,"

"Well then think what you think,"

"Guys," Jack said.

"If there was something, they would've attacked us already!"

"No! If he is sensing something then there is something!"

"Guys!" Jack said.

We continued.

"GUYS!!" he yelled.

We both turned our heads towards him, "Yes?"

"There's something over there," he pointed somewhere in the woods. "Lots of them. They're on four legs. They want to surround us, not good."
