Samus sighed, trying to calm. ''W-we dont get s-some rest before? Like.. we just killed a giant raging b-bull..'' The young girl explained, hoping to move the fight with the Snake to later. She took out her pocket-watch out of her pocket and starred at it. ''2 monsters in not even a day?''
Alex nodded, he was getting tired too and John had already started to nod off beside him. “Sparky’s right. Let’s call it a night gang.” He mumbled as he drove. After driving a mile or so, Alex stopped at a small hotel called “Crusty’s rising sun inn.” Once the car was parked and hidden, the group stumbled inside and Alex rang the bell at the front desk. Moments later, a heavy man who looked like he was trying to live in the 70’s appeared behind the counter. “Welcome to Crusty’s, I’m Crusty. You kiddo’s look tired, let me get you a couple of rooms so you can stretch out and relax.” He said with a smile before hurrying away. He came back and handed over two room keys, one for Alex and John and one for Sam and Willow. The group walked to their rooms and the guys disappeared into their room across the hall from the girls. “Beeedd!” John bleated as he flopped down onto the nearest one. Alex laughed and took to his own. He said a prayer to his dad and closed his eyes. “Night, goat boy.” He mumbled with a yawn.
Willow rubbed her eye at the mention of sleep but remained silent. When they got to the inn, Will took the key before fore following the boys. She entered the room her and Sam shared. She fell onto the bed and sighed softly, closing her eyes. "Ah, much better compared to the camp beds..." She mumbled to herself, not bothering to move the covers as she went to sleep.
Samus remained silent and just hided under the covers of the other bed, trying to not think about snakes and reptiles again... Snakes and reptiles.. Samus was probably going to get nightmares about those now, but she was just going to try to sleep.. After all, a snake-haired lady that could turn people into stone was going to fight Samus and her friends. So she was better rest.
Alex did not sleep well at all. He had dreams full of danger and conflict. "What in Hades?!?!" he gasped as he shot up from his bed, or tried to at least. He found that he was bound to the bed with tight chains made of celestial bronze. "John, wake up bro!" He yelled. John, who was happily dreaming of food and nymphs, woke with a bleat and immediately started to panic. "Oh Styx! What are we gonna do?" He asked as he strained against his bonds. "Just relax goat boy, we'll figure it out." He said calmly. after a few minutes a wide grin crossed Alex's face. He closed his eyes and chanted in ancient Greek as He willed beam of sunlight to shoot from his hand. He silently prayed that it would have the full heat of the sun. After several minutes, the golden beam of light had cut through the bonds and Alex was on his feet, his eyes glowing white hot with anger. He freed John and urged him toward the door. "Come on, Johnny. The girls are probably in the same mess." He mumbled. The duo made their way across the hall and Alex pounded on the door. "Girls, y-you ok?" John called weakly.
Willow let out a growl of irritation at the door. "GET. IN. HERE. NOW!" She spoke as calmly, and loudly as she could. She was strapped onto the bed, her pen on the desk next to the door. The skin on Ber arms were rubbed red and her hair was a mess for the struggle she was doing a while ago
Samus was freaked out. ''ARE THOSE SNAKES!? TELL ME THOSE AREN'T SNAKES! I'M GONNA DIE-DIE-DIE-DIE-DIE!'' The young girl said, scarred of the chains because she thought they were snakes (obviously). She didnt see anything because the light wasnt on. ''I dont wanna dieeeee, i'm too young to dieeeee, please dont let the snakes eat meeeeee'' She whined, trying to escape, without success.
john could hear Sam's frantic cries from the other side of the door as he desperately twisted and pulled at the knob. "J-just relax Sammy, we'll get you out of there." he called soothingly, though he was unable to hide the doubt in his voice. After a few minutes of trying, John swore loudly in ancient Greek and released his death grip on the knob. He knew Alex had to save his strength to be able to fry the chains, so rescuing the girls was up to him. He gave an angry "bla-ha-ha!" and charged at the door. One of John's powerful hooves met the door full force, ripping it from the hinges. It fell with a thud and Alex and John rushed in. "Nice one, goat dude!" Alex beamed before setting to work on Sam's chains. Within minutes, glowing beams of sunlight had broken the young girls bonds. After a quick breather, he did the same for Willow. "Alright, that's got it. I'm totally drained though. I need some sun....I gotta recharge." Alex mumbled as he dragged himself to the nearby window to catch the rays that were streaming through. John gave his friends a thoughtful look. "like I'm just glad we're all okay. That Crusty guy must be out of his mind. We'd better split." he suggested wearily.
"Crusty... Crusty..." Willow repeated, standing up and kicked the bed. "He was going to stretch us out! How did we not think this would happen?! We should have slept in the car!" She spoke angrily as she walked towards the door. "Let's hurry before he comes back!"
Samus was still a shocked. ''So.. t-those weren't snakes, right? Y-yeah.. that's right.. b-because i'm still alive..'' She said, shaking her head. ''So that weird dude did it? I'm not leaving without atleast punching this guy in the face twice.'' The young girl added, stooding up and coming back to her old, brave self.
Alex and John nodded in agreement. "Let's take this guy down and send him back to Tartarus." Alex said with a grin. Moments later, the group would have their chance, the tall man who ran the hotel was waiting at the door. "I hope you kids had a restful night. None of you seem to be long enough to fit these beds, so I guess that's impossible." he said as he smirked at that from behind mirrored sunglasses. "How about we fix that, hmmm?" He asked with a dark chuckle. Crusty then snapped his fingers and new sets of chains spring up from the beds and lunged for the heroes. Alex managed to roll out of the way and quickly armed himself with his bow. John wasn't so lucky, chain had snared his hoof and was dragging him back to one of the beds. The satyr looked at his friends fearfully. "Like heeeellp!" He bleated. Suddenly, Alex's eyes were shining bright white as his anger took over. "Nobody messes with my main goat, nobody!" he said darkly as he readied three arrows and pointed them at Cursty's chest. The angry demigod fired without hesitation and the three searing hot arrows collided with the man and knocked him on to one of his own beds. Crusty groaned and cursed in anger as he strained against his bonds. Alex ignored him and freed John then he turned to the girls. "How should we handle this dude?" He asked, now his usual relaxed self.
"Let's give him a taste of his own medicine!” Nyx smirked at the bound man. "He seems a little too big, how about we cut a few inches off so he would be the perfect size!" She summoned her sword and tapped his leg, a glint him her eye. "Pay back time, yes?"
Samus summoned a lightnig Bolt in her hand. "Not before i electrocute him with this." The young girl growled, slowly getting in stance to shoot the lightning Bolt to him. "Nobody attacks Demi-gods without awaiting a revenge." Sam said, under her breath, a cruel smile on her face.
Alex watched the girls ready their weapons and quickly readied his bow. A burning gold arrow was now pointed directly over Crusty's heart. He then paused for a moment and looked at John. The satyr gave a hesitant nod. "A-as much as I hate to kill anything, this dude totally deserves it he doesn't need to be stressing or stretching anyone else. He mumbled as he shuffled his hooves on the floor. Now that he had his friends final approval, Alex nodded to the girls and steadied his aim. However, before they could fire, Crusty began to laugh. "You demigods never change, " he chuckled. "The gods send you to do their dirty work, but you never change. You're always young, arrogant, and stupid. Especially that Jason from all those eons ago why he was-gah!" Crusty's speech was cut off when Alex, unable to contain his frustration, fired the arrow directly into the enormous man's heart turning him into a pile of dust and sending him back to the depths of Tartarus.
Willow blinked, staring at the dust as she hid her sword away. She was silent for a moment, kicking the bedframe before looking to her companions. "You know, he is right. As much as it pains me to say and is disrespectful, demigods are as arrogant as their godly parent..." She bowed her head to the ground, giving her father a quick prayer before heading towards the door. "Let's go. I'm eager for a challenge now, and we have a date with a charming, snake haired maiden, I believe."
Samus gave Alex a disapointed look. "But i thought i was supposed to turn him into dust.." She said, a bit disapointed. "Were arrogant. And? Atleast we dont try to decapitate people to make them fit iron beds and we dont try to evilly rule The world." The young girl defended, making her lightning bolts disapear. Samus shivered when She talked about Medusa. "Let's not t-talk about s-snakes, shall w-we?"
Alex shrugged at Sam and shot her a small grin. "Sorry Sparky, he was totally harshing my mellow. Plus he messing with my main goat, that's not cool." he said as he gave John a fist pound. the satyr gave a bleat of relief and smiled at his friends. "Gods am I glad that's over, like I was almost chopped goat. Anyway, let's scram before somebody worse shows up." He suggested with a nervous laugh. Alex nodded and looked to the girls. "John's right, we should bail and head for Medusa. The old snake can't be that far." with that Alex and his friends left and drove down a dusty Arizona Road on their way to the woman with the deadly gaze.
Will rubbed her arms, looking out the window. She let out a sigh, trying to think of ways that could have avoided that situation. She perked up, however, when she saw a gardening shop to their left. The sign was all ruined, because of her dyslexia. "Pull over. I have a feeling..."
Samus starred at The sign and shivered. "I dont care what The sign says. Medusa is obviously there and let's finish with that old snake lady before i die of a heart attack when i see her." The young girl said, still looking throught The window. She then sighed and looked at he Sky. 'really, father? Send a 12 years old and her friends to Kill mythical monsters? I just pray that i get out alive..' She thought.
Alex slowed to stop when they got near the small shop. He squinted his eyes and mentally cursed as he tried to read the sign. "Oh man! My dyslexia is really makin' this hard to read. What's it say, goat dude?" He asked with slight annoyance. John took a quick glance at the sign and stiffened a little in the passenger seat. "I-it says lady M's Garden gala: Lawn ornaments and more. I think this is the place, but I don't like it." he said in a frightened voice as he bleated loudly and pointed to a satyr statue that was near the door of the shop.
