Hazel began "I Fight for my Life Against a Cow that is Thousands of Years Older than I am (REAL) (NOT CLICKBAIT)"

"If she is anything like our Percy then she probably did kill a half-cow."

"Oh I think this is when they killed the minotaur!" Percy looked down at this, not looking forward to having to read about his mother disappearing.

My mother kept shouting directions whenever I needed them, but we were so coordinated that the speed of our car never went under 75.

"Can't lie, that's impressive."

"For real."

Most mothers would highly advise against that, but right now, my mother shouted every time I slowed down to take a sharp curve.

Ares grinned in approval, that was his type of driving.

Every time the lightning flashed, which was a lot,

Zeus shrunk down under the weight of the looks sent his way.

I'd catch a glimpse of Grover in the rear view mirror and freak the fuck out.

"If I wasn't so terrified I probably would have passed out from how freaked out I was G-man."

I was on the verge of a panic attack, I could feel it. I wondered if I was going insane,

"Nah this is just the Greek world," Travis joked, "It only makes you think you are going insane."

but then I wouldn't have time to think about it, as my mother would yell another direction for me to go in. Grover the Goat Boy

If anyone had a drink at that point it would have been spit out with laughter at the name Grover was called. Grover blushed up to his horns and shrunk down in his seat.

sat in his seat but looked insanely on edge. My mother hadn't even buckled her seatbelt until I took a sharp turn and she almost got thrown into my lap.
Finally, the silence got too much for me

"I hate the silence, it puts me on edge."

and I finally said the most logical thing I could think of,

"A Percy can think logically?!"

"Hey!"

given the circumstances,

"Ah so it is only sometimes you think logically."

"I would be offended but I can't argue with you."

"So... does anyone have anything they wish to tell me?"

"Damn you aren't even my mother and that sentence has chilled me down to the bone."

"Every mother has that power, we have to be careful not to become drunk on it." Every mother in the room nodded in agreement.

Grover and my mother looked out the back window, but nothing was following us.

Poseidon sighed in relief because even if she wasn't his child in this universe she was still his child in another.

"Oh something was definitely following us, it was just a bit slow at the start and it caught up to us eventually." Percy mentioned causing Poseidon's heart rate to increase.

"Allie, please don't make this harder than it needs to be," my mother pleaded once she turned back.

Sally sighed, it is never easy to let your child go.

"Take a right up here."
"No. I want to know what's going on. Where am I taking us?" I demanded, taking the right turn.
"A summer camp your father wanted me to send you to.

The Greeks cheered at the mention of their home while some of the gods smiled at seeing their children so happy at something regarding their heritage. Octavian scoffed at the thought of the Greeks thinking their camp was better than Camp Jupiter.

I was supposed to let you go a few years ago, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. If I let you go it might've been the last time I'd see you," my mother finally answered.

"It is incredibly hard to let your children go."

"But it's just a summer camp? Why would you never be able to see me again?"

"Hearing it for the first time is quite weird."

"Allie, please. Keep going straight at the four-way up here. Don't stop at the stop sign."
"Alright, fine. How the hell did you get here?" I said, directing my attention to my best friend in the back seat. "What the hell is going on and why the hell do you keep looking out the window like something's following us?"

"Probably because something is following you."

As I said it, he looked back again. "Your mother knew I was keeping tabs on you," Grover said.

"Well that sounds very stalkerish Grover." Leo accused, leaning over people to stare him in the eyes. Grover leaned away, kind of creeped out from how long it has been since Leo blinked.

"I needed to watch you in case something happened. It doesn't matter how I got here. You shouldn't have left the bus terminal on your own."
"Okay, okay, cool. Uh... why am I just now finding this out?"

"Because you ran away as well." Grover said accusingly.

"You would've been told a few hours ago, but you left on your own.

Percy shrunk down under the gazes of Grover and even Chiron.

And plus, the less you knew the fewer monsters you'd attract,"

"Even without knowing what I was, I was still a monster magnet." Percy shrugged. Some of the other more powerful demigods nodded in agreement.

Grover answered and suddenly, something clicked. A flash of Greek and Roman mythology class flickered in my mind. Mr. Brunner had been talking about Satyrs that day. I didn't want to dwell on it, but my mind wouldn't shut up. Lots of things started clicking into place.

"Dude why couldn't things have just clicked into place for me. It took ages for me to figure things out." Percy whined, draping himself over Annabeth.

"You acted like the Kindly One you encountered didn't happen

"If only you had done that Perce, the amount of mist we had to use."

and it threw us off. It didn't faze you. It's like it didn't even scare you," Grover continued. "We figured you'd start figuring out who you were, but you didn't act like it."
"You mean like how I can breathe underwater and that crap?"

"I just thought I was really good at holding my breath, turns out I was just breathing through my nose and never knew although mom knew but never told me. I think she knew I was breathing underwater and that's why she never got worried when I was in the water for a long time." Percy shrugged, Sally nodding alongside her son.

"Wait, what?" My mother stopped me. "You mean you knew?!"
"Knew what?! What the fuck are you all talking about? What am I supposed to be?" I asked. "Wait a fuckin' second."

"That's all it took for her to figure it out. Damn she's smart." Piper commented.

My mind started figuring things out like a stupid puzzle.

"Puzzles aren't stupid!" Athena said, offended. Some of her kids nodded in agreement. Even Apollo looked a little affronted due to him being the god of knowledge.

A weird bellowing noise came from behind us, and I almost drove us off of the road. I had heard it before, but now it was louder, closer, and angrier.

"That thing is always angry." Percy mentioned.

"Do you want to tell us what it is yet?"

"Nope."

"Allie, there's not enough time. I know you have questions, but we have to get you to safety before we can answer everything. Please, Allie, I will tell you everything you need to know, but I can't right now. Take a left up here, go straight, and take the third right."
"Safety from what?! What's after me?"
"Oh, nobody much," Grover started, and his tone changed to an aggravated one, most likely caused by my stubbornness. "Just the Lord of the dead and a few of his bloodthirsty minions.

Nico stared at his father.

"It wasn't me! Okay the monster was me but everything else wasn't me."

Probably a few other gods, just 'cause."

"When aren't a few gods wanting to punish me."

"What?!" I screeched.

"I can't lie, I was cheering when that car got struck by lightning."

"Struck by what!"

With the heavy rain beating down on the windshield, it was extremely hard to see clearly. Most of the turns I'd made were done last second and had no doubt left tire marks on the road.
I was honestly shocked I hadn't crashed long ago.

"Honestly? I was too." Sally whispered to Paul.

I sped up, nonetheless.

Ares cheered.

I was suddenly sitting on the edge of the seat, anticipating our arrival. What was so important that I'd need to get there to be safe? I wanted to find out. My curiosity was piqued.
Still, I tried to wrap my mind around everything but I found it was very hard. This wasn't a dream; my mother pulling my hair and getting thrown against the driver's side door at every left turn was enough pain to tell me I wasn't dreaming. I also doubted my imagination could've made all of this up.

"I don't know, my imagination is pretty wild."

I made another hard left, per my mother's orders. I swerved onto a narrower road, racing past darkened farmhouses and wooded hills and PICK YOUR OWN STRAWBERRIES signs on white picket fences.

The campers cheered at the mention of the entrance to their camp.

I spared a look at my mother and her eyes were locked on the back window and she looked like she was about to burst into tears.

Sally didn't look any different. Paul grabbed his wife's hand in comfort.

Another right. I looked into my side-view mirror and my blood ran cold. I caught a glimpse of what I was driving away from, and this time I didn't need Grover or my mother to tell me to speed up.
"We're almost there," my mom murmured. "Another mile. Please, please, please. I should've listened and brought you earlier. I wished I knew how much they wanted to kill you. I'm so sorry, Allie. I love you so, so much."

"I love you mom." Percy said, walking over to give his mother a hug.

"I love you, too, mom," I managed to whisper back. My mom clutched my suitcase as hard as she could, almost like it was actually me she was holding.

"It was probably the best substitute at the time."

Now I know for sure. Everything that'd happened had been meant to kill me. There was no doubt about that, now. It didn't shock me as much as I think it should've.
In a split second the hairs on the back of my neck rose and my body moved involuntarily. I took the hand that wasn't on the steering wheel and held it in the air, clenching my fist. How I knew to do that, I don't know, but it saved us. I felt a pull in my gut and, suddenly, I was manipulating the rain.

"Damn she is powerful, manipulating the rain without any training?"

There was a blinding flash, an ear-splitting and jaw rattling BOOM!

Percy and Poseidon did not bother trying to hide their glares towards Zeus. Sally however was much more discrete.

The fist-clenching thing I'd done had kept the car from blowing up into millions of little pieces.

Percy groaned in disappointment, he had been hoping to hear about the total destruction of Smelly Gabe's car.

The rain around us formed into a shield kind of thing, but it still jolted the car and sent us flying down the road. We might've flipped, but I don't really remember. I know my head hit the back of my seat and I remember feeling weightless.

"I so want to experience weightlessness, you know, like going into space."

I peeled my head off of the seat as soon as we stopped moving. We were still on the road and our water shield started melting off, but I doubted the car would work very well.
Lightning.

No one was subtle with the looks sent in Zeus's direction.

That was the only reasonable explanation for whatever had hit us.
"Ow," I groaned once my bearings came back.
"Allie!" My mom yelled from beside me.

Grover blushed while Percy chuckled remembering thinking the exact same thing when this happened.

No one was dead. At least there was that.

"That is a sentiment I try to live by, doesn't always work though."

Glass or something had to have broken, though, because I could feel a drop of blood trailing down my cheek. Judging from where the pain was, it wasn't very big, maybe an inch and a half across my cheekbone.

Despite the book saying it wasn't very big, Poseidon and Sally still looked like they had just been told that their child had just lost a limb.

"Allie, do you see that big tree right up that hill?

"Ayo it's me." Thalia whooped, causing those who didn't know she used to be a tree to look confused.

I need you to get yourself and Grover up there," my mom said urgently.

"No way would that work, if she is another universes' Prissy then she would rather give herself up to the meathead then let her mother face it alone." Clarisse spoke up for once a while.

I shook my head. "There better be 'I'll be going with you' in that plan, or else I'm not going anywhere. Let's go. I won't be able to get very far with Grover, so I'll need your help." That was a lie, but I wasn't about to let her stay here.

"What did I say!"

"No one disagreed with you." Chris soothed.

"Allie, I can't—"
"You're coming. Let's go." Thank God the doors weren't sealed shut or something because, all though I wasn't dazed, I knew I wasn't at my full strength. There's no way I would've been able to kick open a door or break a window.
My mom knew the extent of my stubbornness,

"I don't even know the extent of seaweed brain's stubbornness."

so she actually got out of the car, my suitcase still in her hand and grabbed Grover's unconscious body.

Grover blushed at the reminder.

"Let's go," I shouted to my mother above the roaring of the rain, though I didn't think she needed to be told.
There was another flash of lightning and I saw the figure from earlier. It was much larger than I had originally thought. It wasn't the fastest thing in the world, but it was making lots of progress with us finally being out of the car. With another flash of lightning, I finally knew what it was.

"What is it?! The suspense is killing me!" Leo screamed, clutching his hair in anticipation. Those who were at camp when Percy first arrived chuckled, remembering the awe they were in when they heard what they did.

"Holy shit! That's the Min—"

"What! What is it?!" By now Leo was on the edge of his seat, staring Hazel down.

"Don't say his name!" My mother yelled quickly. "Names have power! It's Pasiphae's son.

"Who?" A legacy from Camp Jupiter asked confused.

"I guess since we are in this room the monsters can't reach us so the monster is the Minotaur."

"Dude you also killed the minotaur with no training! I am definitely understanding the hype around camp when I first came now." Leo exclaimed.

He wants you, not us. The property line is right at that big pine tree.

Thalia once again cheered at the mention of her past self.

I won't be able to cross, but you'll need to. You'll see a big farmhouse and I'll need you to run there and get help."
"You're coming with me. Stop saying I need to do this by myself," I pleaded, feeling quite overwhelmed. That panic attack seemed to be getting closer.

Those who have had panic attacks in the past grimaced in sympathy.

"Allie..." She started slowing down, but finally snapped out of it and caught up with me. I saw her eyes. They looked as sad as they did whenever she looked at the ocean. She was holding Grover's complete dead weight. When she got to me, I grabbed Grover's other arm and helped her carry him.
I found it was better if I just didn't look back and tried to completely ignore the minimum seven-foot-tall Minotaur running behind us.

"I don't know, I would probably want to keep an eye on the raging monster that wants to kill me and is currently chasing after me." Piper spoke up sarcastically.

"I mean fair enough"

I remembered he couldn't see well, so he relied on his sense of smell and hearing. Hearing was pretty out of the question because the rain was so loud I could barely hear myself think, so he'd be relying mostly on smelling us.
The pine tree was still too far away, and the rest was completely up-hill. There was no way we'd make it. I finally got enough courage to look back again and saw it sniffing our car. Maybe he thought we were still there.
That thought left pretty quickly because he suddenly bellowed, picked Gabe's Camaro up, and threw it down a nearby hill. It flipped more than ten times before skidding to a stop.

Percy smirked.

I heard Gabe's voice in my head. There better not be a single scratch on that car once you bring it back or there'll be hell to pay.

"Oops." Jason commented sarcastically.

Oops.

"Oh no you think like Percy! What a tragedy!" Travis cried, rushing to dramatically hug Jason and cry.

"Allie," my mom said, "When he sees us he's going to charge. You need to wait until the very last second and then jump out of the way— directly sideways. Once you've dodged him, run as far as you can. He can't change very well once he's charged. Do you understand?"

"You researched what to do, didn't you?"

"Obviously, my child was in possible danger so I wanted to do everything I could to protect him, in every universe." Sally said.

I nodded even though I didn't like the idea of leaving my mom, but I was going to comply. My mom had yet to let me down, I wasn't going to stop listening to her now.

"I will always listen to mom."

"How do you know about all of this?" I said as quietly as I could over the sounds of the rain.
"I've been expecting an attack for a while now. I should've expected this. I was selfish for keeping you near me."

"It is never selfish to want to keep your children close to you." Apollo told Sally, "Gods knows how much I want to." he whispered to himself.

I suddenly remembered a few times during last summer when I'd walked into the living room and seen her asleep, a Greek mythology book in her hand. I'd assumed it was for a book she was writing, so I didn't question it. But now...
"Selfish? Mom, what the fuck?"

"My reaction exactly, just in my head."

Then there was another bellow of rage and the Minotaur came bounding towards us.
I guess he finally smelled us.

"Honestly, took him long enough." Connor said in mock annoyance.

The pine tree was close, but not close enough.

"Well I'm sorry that where I almost died wasn't convenient enough for you." Thalia snarked.

"What?!" Jason shrieked at his sister's words, not alone in his surprise at the daughter of Zeus' words.

"I'm sure it will come up at some point."

Grover, Luke and Annabeth grimaced at the memory of what happened to Thalia on that dreadful night.

Plus, Grover wasn't getting any lighter.

The blush on the satyrs
