•••Ellie's P.O.V•••

Hey Ellie here! Yes I'm back! Sorry for leaving you with such a lack of description... [shush it's my turn... Just... I SAID SHUT UP] so... Times Square.

When we got there I couldn't help but gasp, it was beautiful in a kind of crowded city way. I still can't get over all the stores and signs and how crowded it was. I lived in a little town in South Carolina, Sellers, so I was totally not ready for Times Square. Artemis gave us a credit card that seemed to have endless money, and with that really useful gift we bought tons of clothes, candy and of course books.
We could have stayed there forever, but then Zoë found us in a movie theater near by, and said we had to go already since the counsil was over.

Well let's just skip those whole happy six months of hunting and killing monsters and go on to the time when we got in trouble.
We were back in New York before we expected it. This time we decided to visit Laura's old home, it was a not-so-old-not-so-new building. I could already picture her in one of those apartments, just when we were about to go in one of the hunters found us and said lady Artemis had finished what she was doing and that we should be heading to the check point we assigned earlier today.
We all got there exactly on time. all the hunters, Laura and me stood there waiting for Artemis to tell us what we were going to do next. I don't think I was the first to notice but she looked worried, it looked like she lost something and had to go look for it. After a few minutes of silence Artemis looked at Laura and me. "Girls I fear this is our last day having Ellie's and Laura's great company. Ellie and Laura will be going off, in search for something. Something powerful and dangerous." I looked at her confused. I was about to talk when Laura stole the words from my mouth. "What is it?" Artemis looked straight at me and with the same worried expression she said: "you shall find out, my dears."
She got our bags with our stuff and finally turned her attention to us for a final good bye. "Farewell girls you will find your bus ride at the greyhound station. Now leave, you don't have much time!" We stood there, just shocked, it's the first time we fit somewhere and now, well now we had to leave. I was still standing there waiting for Laura to argue, like it would be in any normal situation, but instead she grabbed my hand and started walking away. "What are you doing?!" I said once the shock had gotten out of me, Laura looked at me with tears in her eyes. "I know the way to the station..." Her voice sounded as if she was about to break apart and was holding everything together with her bare hands, that shook me out of all my anger, she obviously knew we had to do it, even if we didn't want to, and after this we wouldn't see them again, at least not to join them.

We got to the bus station, we didn't even know what we had to do or where we had to go. Some kids, that looked around our age, were there playing with an apple, the game ended when one of them ate the whole apple with one bite,it IS possible, trust me, anyway, I didn't pay them much attention, neither did Laura.
The bus finally arrived and we sat one or two seats from the back, where we would have seated if we had gone to school like every other normal kid. The other kids sat on the back I started paying more attention to these kids and what they were talking about, they seemed to be talking about monsters and other stuff they weren't supposed to know about, I was about to tell Laura when someone got on the bus and Laura gasped really loudly, I turned around curious, and I would have done anything to get out of that bus. "Shit! Laura!!! Those are the three furi-" as always she didn't let me finish. "Shhh! Don't say their name! And yes we are in really big trouble the three kindly ones in this bus would never be a good idea." I could hear the kids seating in the back arguing and saying about the same thing we just said. I turned around to look at their faces and gasped even louder than Laura, which is really hard. One of the kids looked just like Laura. He had dark brown, messy hair and sea green eyes, their face factions looked almost exactly the same, his face was just a tiny teeny bit more manly. Laura nudged at my arm, asking for my attention, I glared at first, and then realized she was looking at something behind me, she gave me a warning look but I just turned around slowly. Behind me where the 3 fur- kindly ones, walking slowly towards the kids in the back seat. [yes I understand... No I don't want that to happen.... Yeah yeah I got it "I can't call them by their real name or they'll come back for me"... Hey hey now I will throw you out from the sun if you ever do that!... Yes I CAN use the sun chariot and I CAN push you out!] Ok, so the "old ladies" A.K.A the kindly ones were looking straight at Laura's lost twin, when they got to the three kids the old stupid hags started yelling at them, asking for Zeus's lighting bolt, I panicked, I didn't know if I should help, run away or just sit there like the rest of the mortals. I looked at Laura for some help, but apparently she didn't know what to do either. I got a glimpse of Laura's twin and decided that if I wanted to know who he was and why did he look so alike to my best friend I had to help.

As the kindly ones attempted to attack them I jumped on one's back and pulled back as hard as I could. I glanced back at Laura to ask for some help but all I got was a wide eyed expression and a face that told me she had no idea of what I was trying to do. Since our way of affection is aggression, I tried to kick her on the back, but with the kindly one moving so much, I settled for a light kick on her leg. Fortunately she got it the first time, as soon as she got out of her shock she jumped on another one's back. Somehow Laura's twin brother had disappeared and, luckily, she didn't stop to think about other stuff. We do that a lot even if we are in combat, which doesn't help.
All of the sudden all five of us are fighting and everyone else is off the bus. I turn around and see a shimmering silhouette becoming visible, it didn't take me much to realize it was the twin. Maybe he was trying to help, but he did something that I would consider stupid. He stood there and yelled "hey! Over here!" All three kindly ones turned around to look at him, they approached him slowly but dangerously, they smacked their whips against the ground making an intimidating sound that sent shivers up my spine.
Then Laura did the only thing I didn't have the courage to do. She ran to the front of the bus and dodged all the attacks from the old hags and their whips and started countering the attacks with her sword helping the other guy attack them easily. She glanced at me from the distance and I snapped out of my shock. I once again jumped on one of the furies's back and pulled out my hunting knife trying to get a shot at the thing's neck or chest, but as anyone should have figured out by now I'm terrible with a hunting knife. It moved furiously [Noooo way Ellie "furies"? Moving "furiously"? That's not possible!... I'm just saying...] anyway it moved furiously trying to throw me off its back [I wouldn't want to have you in my back either] good thing I had experience with this, from monsters and jumping in Phebbie's back when she wasn't looking. The kid got one of the furies right through its neck, Laura got the other one slicing it through the stomach, and I finally hit the old hag on its chest.

I guess I should leave this part for Laura to write about... Since she got all emotional then.
