Saving Emily (QUEST)

I held on to the side of the car. "DO YOU REALLY THINK YOU SHOULD DO THIS IN YOUR STATE?" i yell. My head was spinning. I was feeling the rush, and it wasn't effecting me in a good way

I deliberate while they talk on whether or not to tell them about the letter. What can it hurt? During a pause in their conversation, I break in, talking in a softer voice. "He told me that the gods had us separated. Too-" I can let them finish the thought on their own, but for now, I was just enjoying the breeze- no, not breeze, a gush of high-voltage air- coming in through my window.

I quickly close my window and try to calm down. "Katie, calm down. We're fine. It's just... humidity, I bet. That's all. Don't freak out." Although I didn't convince myself, I lie to keep her from driving stupidly or wrecking this gift from our father.

I put my hand on her shoulder to try to calm her down. "Katie. We. Are. Fine. The only god who makes electricity is Zeus. If she's showing us his distain, don't give him the happiness of watching us squirm. It's just to scare us. I'll look around us. You. Just. DRIVE." My heart pounds a hundred beats per second as I try to find what he was doing to us. Are you really going to kill a car of little teenagers, one of them who has a child on the way? I ask, praying to Zeus to spare us.

As Katie gets out of the car and I continue screaming for her to get back, I knew something was seriously up. "Katie?" My feet jumpd from the vehicle as quickly as possible, ripping off my guitar-pick necklace the process. I was ready for attack. But I would get in front of Katie if the need arose. The baby before my life. "Can you see anthing?" my voice quivers. As I whisper softly into the chain, an eighteen-inch ceelstial bronze appeared almost instantly. I was scared for my life.

(gtg sorry. i just hd to post that before going to sleep. Night from my Kindle!!!)

I sighed, following them in exiting the car. I stood in front of them. "Not a chance am I letting you be a body block for us, Katie, you two are much more important then I am.' I felt a slight wind, and my hand moved to the clasp of my whip's sheath.

I pondered Katie's words for a minute before getting in front of her and checking out the scene. Nothing now, but the electricity was so powerful that now, it made some of my hairs stand up straight. Something powerful was here, and I needed to find out what it was. Fast,

(whoever it is next, figure out what it is, please!!!)

As I prepared to yell back at her, the electricity... thing... ran toward us. Scared to death, I stay frozen completely until I see that its shape is like a giant minotaur. A giant minotaur. It was huge. It made me get out of my moment of being shocked. I stand my ground and try to think of some plan. I had none, but I was ready. I decide to walk forward as much as possible in five seconds for the car's sake.

I run to the thing with a sudden urge of energy that I couldn't explain. But when Katie yelled to retreat, I couldn't. I don't know whether it was me being too scared or the duty I felt to everything or the weird energy I now felt, but I continue to stand my ground, even in my weak state.

Getting up as quickly as I can, I shake my head in defiance. "I"m not letting you die because of my sister!" I scream as I try to think of some sort of plan. I had none, but I couldn't just run. It would come after us, and it wouldn't end well. I didn't know what part of my brian justified this, but this giant electrical thing wouldn't win.

Knowing Katie's spur-of-the-moment brilliant ideas, I do as she says. Taking her bow in my hands, I run straight toward the electric minotaur, shooting arrows at it and praying to Apollo and Artemis for an unlimited amount at least long enough to help Katie. "Hey, Power-Plug!" I yell on the top of my lungs. The thing, I think, looks at me and seems to be running the same way toward me. I circle it so that its back is to Katie, and it growls and starts to attack the ground of every step I take one second after I take them. I can't stay still.

As the monster wildly reacted to the sword in its neck, I shot an arrow into its head. The death blows together. The thing began to disappear into a a pile of golen ashes. My mind began to calmly gatheris thought just intime to see is gianthammer drop to the grund with agiant thud.

I just stood there, watching my sisters fight. What had gotten into me? why didnt i help? I rubbed my temples, thying to think straight. "Uhhh... guys. that was awesome!"

I laugh as I dust myself off of the golden bits and walk over to my brother. "Thanks, bro! I know- I'm just awesome." After punching his shoulder lightly, I open the door to the backseat and strap on my seatbelt. All there was to do now was wait for another attack.
