"Oh, okay," I replied, my tone of voice seeming to calm down. I returned the smile. He was so cute. Then, I redirected my attention to the two of them. I hated when Matt became all competive like this. It was incredibly annoying. Now that I think of it, I'm glad I left school.

I just sharpened my knives.I waited for the kid to say something/Seriously,he was weird.What wqas with him?

Subject: Re: Thinking Things Through [PRIVATE] Sat Jan 29, 2011 1:53 pm

Just then, my father walked into the room. Just in time, too. Thank the gods, I thought. "What is going on in here?" he interigated.

"I don't know.It mgiht be one of those movies my cousin likes." I said.BBut I looked serious.

Subject: Re: Thinking Things Through [PRIVATE] Sat Jan 29, 2011 2:15 pm

My father appeared confused, but then shook his head. "Matthew, your mother is here," he said. Matt glared at Kai, then exited the room. "Well this was interesting . . ." I said. Then I smiled at Kai, and looked him in the eyes.

I smiled back.Then I laughed.That was fun.It made me laugh.

Subject: Re: Thinking Things Through [PRIVATE] Sat Jan 29, 2011 5:12 pm

I returned the smile. "Thank you Kai," I said. We were alone again. My father had exited out of the room, Matt left, my step-mom was probably grocery shopping, my half-siblings were no where to be found, and there were no monster attacks.

"No problem." I said.I was obviously happy.That kid was ticked off.It was hilarious.

I sat down on the couch. Thoughts rummaged through my head. It was hard to believe that we've been away from camp for only two days, and we already were in so much trouble. "I miss camp," I said.

Subject: Re: Thinking Things Through [PRIVATE] Sat Jan 29, 2011 7:00 pm

"I miss my dead minions." I said."And Noah." I really missed my best friend.

Subject: Re: Thinking Things Through [PRIVATE] Sat Jan 29, 2011 7:02 pm

I let out a little laugh. "Dead minions?" I chuckled. I walked over to him and gave him a tight embrace. "I'm sure they miss you too," I said jokingly.

Subject: Re: Thinking Things Through [PRIVATE] Sat Jan 29, 2011 7:03 pm

"They have no emotions." I commented."That's why they always listen." I said.

Subject: Re: Thinking Things Through [PRIVATE] Sat Jan 29, 2011 7:08 pm

I rested my hand on his face. "I just hope another monster comes, or we might need your minions," I replied, smiling. I gazed out the window to make sure. Nothing was there.

Subject: Re: Thinking Things Through [PRIVATE] Sat Jan 29, 2011 8:59 pm

I smiled."I wonder if Noah's schemed his way out of the infirmary yet?" Then I smiled."He probably has."

Subject: Re: Thinking Things Through [PRIVATE] Sat Jan 29, 2011 10:12 pm

"I've known all of you long enough to understand what you do," I replied, smiling. "There is without a doubt he broke out days ago." I wrapped my arms around Kai and held him in a tight embrace. "But I never knew you had dead minions. I thought you just used them for battle," I joked.

Subject: Re: Thinking Things Through [PRIVATE] Sat Jan 29, 2011 10:29 pm

I shook my head.Then I laughed."They do whatever I want." I told her.

Subject: Re: Thinking Things Through [PRIVATE] Sat Jan 29, 2011 10:33 pm

I laughed with him. "You know, Kai. We've been through the minotuar, the underworld, and crazed ex-boyfriends, and yet, for some stupid reason, we've managed to survive all that," I joked. I thought about our past adventueres and battles. I could remember them clearly, and tried to come to the solution of how we even made it out. It seemed impossible, but maybe that was just who we were.

Subject: Re: Thinking Things Through [PRIVATE] Sat Jan 29, 2011 10:38 pm

"We've also been through something worse." I said."Crazy step-mother/aunts." I laughed.

Subject: Re: Thinking Things Through [PRIVATE] Sat Jan 29, 2011 10:49 pm

Before I could even speak, my step-mother came into the room. Her cold stare hovered over me. That death stare of her's always had a way of scaring the crap out of me. I placed my hand in my pocket. My sword wouldn't be able to do anything to mortal flesh, but I just might be able to threaten her with it.

"Well, the both of you have been in a lot of trouble the past two days," she said in a flat tone of voice. "Uh, yeah . . ." I replied rather nervously. I clutched my celestial bronze capsule in my pocket, which was my sword once activated. "If you keep this up, you'll put your family in danger, and you wouldn't want that, Melina." "Well, yeah." Okay, why was she taunting me like this? The way she said family was like she wasn't apart of it. Like she was someone else.

"Melina, do you know who I am?" she asked. I tried to make eye contact with her, but something in my head was telling me not to. Don't look her in the eyes, the voice said. Have your weapon ready. You know how to finish her. Finish her? Why would I want to finish her? Sure, she hasn't really taking a liking to me since I got here, and wanted to kill me from the start, but still.

Soon enough, I heard a hissing noise come from her jet black hat. "What was that?" I asked nervously. No, it couldn't be. The last time I came face to face with her was with two of my half-siblings. That was a few months ago, she couldn't have been back already!

Subject: Re: Thinking Things Through [PRIVATE] Sat Jan 29, 2011 11:35 pm

It... it couldn't be.No.It was impossible.Not her.

Subject: Re: Thinking Things Through [PRIVATE] Sat Jan 29, 2011 11:45 pm

I turned to Kai. "How could this happen? I thought she wasn't a monster. I could feel it! I just knew she wasn't!" I was frustrated with my confusion. I was sure she wasn't a monster before, how could I have been wrong? "That is where you are incorrect, Melina. I am mortal. Well, at least I was, before your mother did this to me!" She took off her hat, and dozens of green snakes fell and met her neck. "Close your eyes!" I shouted.

The snakes hissed as she spoke. "You recall the story, don't you? Your mother saw Poseidon and I together in her temple on the acropolis in her sacred city of Athens in Greece." I did remember the story. I agreed with my mother for punishing Medusa, too. Overall, I was confused on how my dad ended up marrying Medusa.

Was this all an act she was playing on us? Was it Kai and me that she wanted? Was she waiting this whole time just to corner us at this one moment, and kill us? I wasn't sure. The snakes let out another hiss. I quickly pulled out my celestial bronze sword, my eyes still closed. There had to be something around here that I could look into to avoid her gaze. I'd much rather remain human that a statue in a garden.

I didn't say a thing.I summoned a few dead soldiers.They couldn't be turned to stone,they could hold her off.They didn't attack yet.I was waiting until he right moment.

Subject: Re: Thinking Things Through [PRIVATE] Sun Jan 30, 2011 11:14 am

I squinted my eyes just slightly open, but not looking at her. Scanning the room, there were no mirrors to be found. She was clever, but there had to be something around here. I was still pretty shocked that my dad ended up with Medusa. I mean, how is that even possible?

Subject: Re: Thinking Things Through [PRIVATE] Sun Jan 30, 2011 11:26 am

I thought for a moment.What had Noah done that day?"Look for something clear,like glass!" I said."It'll keep you from looking directly at her!"

Subject: Re: Thinking Things Through [PRIVATE] Sun Jan 30, 2011 11:34 am

"Yeah, I know! I'm trying to look for something," I shouted, my eyes half-open. I scanned the room once more. There was nothing in this room, but I knew there had to be a mirror somewhere in this house. Then it clicked. "I'll be right back!" I ran up the curved stairway to Sadie and Harper's room. It was all girly and stuff, perfect for storing a mirror or two. I rummaged through the dressers. There was nothing insight. What kind of girly girl doesn't have mirrors in their room? Then, everything was starting to come to me now.

No wonder why they were so afraid of my step-mom. They knew she was Medusa. Medusa must have taken out all of the mirrors once she found out I was coming. How could have my dad have missed this? Unless, he was under some sort of enchantment. I'll figure it out once this battle is over with.

Look under the bed, the voice chanted in my head. Look under the bed. Who are you? I asked telepathically. There was no response, so I pulled up the sheets, and there it was. It wasn't a mirror, or something clear I could look into. It was Perserus' shield he used to look into when he fought Medusa. That must've meant it was my mom's shield, her Aegis!

Grabbing the shield I rushed down the stairs. Kai and Medusa were putting up a pretty good fight. I stood at the enterance to the room, waiting for the right time to attack.
