Atalan POV 

When I let go of the two arrow it flow towards two of the three furies. The two furies managed to dodge, but only barely. I willed my bow and arrow back into the necklaces charms and pulled out my sword and got into a defensive stance. One of the furies headed straight for Percy and Grover, and the other started attacking Luke and Annabeth. I noticed that the last furie left was heading straight for me and I recognized it was Mrs. Dotts. I smirked and when she got close enough I swung my sword in a / patten hoping to finish the fight  early. Mrs. Dotts dodged and tried to swipe at my face. I ducked in a roll to get away, and when I stood up I turned around and quickly blocked a swipe at me. I was Struggling to push back Mrs. Dotts who was stronger then she appeared. I suddenly thought of an idea and smirked as my sword suddenly caught fire burning Mrs.Dotts hands causing her to let go shrieking in pain. I took the opportunity to retaliate against Mrs. Dotts, when I did this I started charging her. When she turned back to me hr eyes widen in surprise because I was standing right there with my sword.

"Better luck next time Mrs. Dotts." I  taunted as I quickly brought my sword where it corrected with Mrs. Dotts head, and she was quickly turned into gold dust. I turned to see everyone else finishing off the other two furies.

"Well that was fun." I said after I put my sword back into the ring i stood up to see everyone giving me odd looks.

"What? Do I have something on my face?" I said.

"How did you set your sword on fire?" Annabeth interrogated me as she got very close with a look that demand answers. I backed up so Annabeth was out of my personal space.

"This is something that you will have to wait for to get an answer." I said as I smirked and crossed my arms, but my eyes said that the discussion was over and I could tell that Annabeth understood because she made a pouty face and folded her arms crossed her chests. Suddenly I heard screeching coming from behind me. I turned around to see one of the furies on the ground as the source of the screeching.

"We need to get out of here!" I shouted as I grabbed Percy's by the arm and started running into the woods next to the road. I looked behind me to see that the rest of the quest members were following. I stopped in my tracks when I noticed the sky. I looked back to the screeching fury in time to see it hit by a massive bolt of lighting, and after a moment I shook myself out of my shock.

"Atalan we left our pack on the bus!" Percy suddenly shouted after the lighting bolt stuck.

"We need to leave them she was calling for reinforcements, and even though she is dead they will still come. We have to get as far away as possible." I said as I started running away with the sounds of the others following behind me. We kept running until we reached a small side road. The only things there was an old an old abandoned gas station and a building with statues, and a glowing neon sigh in cursive with the smell of greasy food coming from inside. We all immediately went to the only building open to hopefully get some food.

"If there one thing I hate more than neon sighs, it's neon sighs in cursive" I heard Percy muttered from beside me, and I couldn't help but nod in agreement.

"It says Auntie Em's Garden Gnome Epimetheus." Grover translated for those who had dyslexia, which was everyone but Grover. I was about to knock on the door when I heard Grover nervously bah'ed. I looked over to see him staring at one of the statues set up outside.
