Willow ignored their fears and got out, making her way to the statue. She tapped its horns before smirking. "Let's go, people!" She yelled over her shoulder, walking into the door. She kept her eyes on the ground as she walked towards the counter. Behind it, a woman in glasses and a big hat stood, a smile on her face. "Why, hello! Welcome! It has been so long that I have had visitors! How may I help you?" She asked, with a silky voice. "Oh, we are just lost, miss! Could you please help us?" Will asked, looking at her nose. "Of course! I'd love too! Where are you headed?" She asked pulling out a old, dusty map.
Samus was trying to hide behind Alex and Willow, peeking her head out a couple times to look at the Snake lady and go back to hide. ''Y-yeah.. w-we're are we h-headed? I d-don't r-remember..'' The young girl acted, shivering and running out of Alex's and Willow's backs to hide under a table and block her ears with her hands. 'I'm not gonna die here.. not gonna die here.. I helped kill a Minotaur, i can totally help kill Medusa, right?' She thought, trying to reassure herself and not just not participate in the fight.
Everyone watched Sam's odd behavior for a moment, then their eyes were back on the shop owner. "Oh the poor dear, it seems my statues frighten her. I am sorry." She said in a soft and soothing tone. Something in the woman's voice made John want to trust her, but his sense of Monsters warned him to stay away and practically begged him to run. Instead he cleared his throat and spoke quickly. "Like it's ok. We're just totally lost and could use some help." he said as he shuffled his fake feet in nervousness. There were several statues near him, some of them satyrs, and each face was contorted in horror and pain. John swallowed the lump in his throat and gently motioned for Sam to come out from under the table. " little Sammy is best that direction so like she will probably help you find out where we're headed." He mumbled as he nodded to the girl that was now at his side. When he knew the woman wasn't looking he gave the girl a look that clearly said 'Trust me, you got this.' nearby Alex waited with his hand in his pocket, his fingers were brushing the pen that would become his bow and were ready and waiting to grab and click it.
Willow suppressed a shudder from her voice, her eyes narrowing at Sam and gives her a confident smile before turning back to the woman. "Your statues look so life like! Almost like living art! You must put so much work into them!" She praised the gorgon, playing with the tube of lip gloss as she circled around a statue of a satyr, tapping the horns on its head. "Next time I see my father, I will recommend you when he is in the need of some new art!" She said, her friendly smile turning to a smirk. "Tell me... Where is the closest burger joint? I'm starved!" She joked, making the woman freeze slightly. "I-I do not know..." She answered, adjusting her glasses, a shocked look on her face from Willow's last sentence. Willow smiled, winking at Alex, Medusa's back facing him.
Samus crawled out of her made-up hideout, still whispering things like: 'i'm going to die here' or 'i hate snakes, and they hate me back, today is my final day, i'm totally going to die.' She stood up, still shaking. ''U-uh, y-yes, we're r-really hungry..'' The young girl said, summoning her sword and slowly readying her attack. Her target was the Gorgon's neck.
John fought his hardest not to let out a terrified bleat when Medusa smiled, despite the fact of the razor sharp sword pointed at her neck. "Do not fear, little one. Miss M won't hurt you. No pain at all. You will stay and I'll get you nice children some food. " she said in her silky, soothing voice. The moment she mentioned food, John started to relax even more. However he was snapped from his trance when he saw a horrifyingly familiar statue. He let out a loud "Bla-ha-ha!" as his eyes became goat-like with fear. A few feet away from him, there was a statue of a satyr whose face was frozen in fear. 'D-dude, that's my cousin Dan, Dan Underwood.' he mentally whispered to Alex as he shivered. Alex put a hand on John's shoulder to steady him. As fast as he could Alex shot a small beam of sunlight from his hand, knocking off Medusa's large hat and revealing the writhing, hissing mass of snakes that was her hair. With her secret unmasked, Medusa gave a howl of rage. "Die little one!" She said with anger in her silky voice as she took off her glasses and sped toward Sam. "Sparky, shut your eyes!" Alex warned as he readied his bow.
Willow summoned her sword, gripping it with both hands as she ran behind her, swinging her sword swiftly. She sliced off a few snakes off of her head. "You never turn your back! Don't mess with my friend, hag!" Will hissed, aiming another slash at her neck, keeping her eyes on the windows reflection.
Samus closed her eyes and raised her shield over her head while slicing the air blindly. "I Cant see! And i hate Snakes! Where is she?!" The young girl shouted, still attacking nothingness. She then remembered What Alex and John said: use your shield! Samus opened her eyes and looked at the gorgon by the reflection of her shield. Basicly what Willow Did but with a shield.
Medusa gave an irritated growl and held a clawed hand on her now bleeding neck as the snakes willow had chopped off fell to the floor. Alex was carefully stationed behind one of the many stone statues in the room, his eyes closed tight as he used his gift of marksmanship to wait for just the right shot. Medusa got ever closer to Sam, who stood awestruck as the creature's reflection got closer and closer in her shield. Nearby, john was crouched behind the statue of his cousin as he played a little tune on his reed pipes, making a thick, club-like root sprout through the floor. He knew he had to distract Medusa so he picked up the club and trotted over to a Greek warrior statue. "Like, over here you snake skin rug!" He yelled as he knocked off the statues head. The gorgon turned and sped toward him. "How dare you destroy my beautiful creation!" She hissed. Alex quickly realized what his friend was trying to do and decided to follow his lead. He took aim at a statue of a terrified woman and fired a sun arrow, breaking her to pieces. "Come on you old hag, totally didn't realize you were stupid AND slow!" He taunted, making her howl with rage and run at him. Now that she was not paying attention, john threw his plan in motion. "Attack now! While she's distracted. Get her, girls!" he said just loud enough for both of them to hear.
Willow nodded, slashing her sword through her flesh, slicing off her head, almost, cleanly. She smirked, throwing a cloth over her face. "Let's see~! That's one for Sammy for taking care of the bull! One for Sunny boy for alliterating the awful ogre! And one for me for hacking the hag!" She spoke, tipping over a statue of a tourist. "Now, how about a small break at a mortal restaurant? I'm starved!" She asked, picking up her head and tossed it at John.
"Is-is she dead?" The young girl asked, as her shield and sword disapeared. She turned around and looked at the chopped off head. "I would have Been wanting to eat, normally.. But i think my appetite just died for today.." Samus said, still looking at the head. "And.. Uhmm.. Who Will carry the head to the car?.. I dont volunteer.."
John gagged when the head landed in his lap and quickly chucked it at Alex, who was busy laughing. “Like I’m with Sammy, my appetite is as dead as Medusa.” He mumbled weakly. Once he’d finished laughing, Alex caught the head and triple wrapped it in the plastic bags on the shop counter. The group then made their way back to Alex’s car, John and Sam still looking green. “Don’t sweat it,” he told them with a grin. “I’ll drive easy so you two down hurl on my seats.” He chuckled. After driving away from Medusa's shop of horrors, Alex turned to the back seat. "Where to now, Will?" he asked calmly.
Willow buckled up and picked up the map, opening it slowly. Another symbol appeared on the map, in Canada. She hummed as she studied it before looking out the window. "Somewhere in Canada. There is the Nemean lion. How are we going to deal with that?"
Samus made a small victory dance when She heard the word Canada. "Canada?! Awesome! Can we stop by somewhere important before going to fight the Nemean Lion? I swear, it's going to be benefic if we go there." The young girl said, smiling and almost praying Alex to say yes to her plan. She simply wanted to go see her mother but didnt say a word about that.
Alex chuckled and shot Sam and Willow a grin in the rearview mirror. "Sure Sparky, we can go as long as it doesn't take long." He said happily. Beside him, John was looking very ill as the bag that held Medusa's severed head rested on his lap. "Like can we pleeeease ship this to Olympus already?" He asked with a weary bleat. Alex chuckled and nodded, driving as fast as he could to get back to the OPS building they'd passed on their way into town before John lost his lunch. After speeding down the highway they were there within 10 minutes. Once there, Alex did as he had done before and placed the head into a shipping box along with a few gold drachma. Once the shipping label was filled out, the box rose into the air and started to spin faster and faster, then disappeared with a small "Pop!" With the head gone, John finally got control of his nerves. "What a relief! That thing was way creepy." He mumbled as they got back in the car. "Alright dudes, buckle up! If we're going to Canada we gotta fly!" He warned as he made the car roar to life, Its tires already starting to smoke. Moments later, it was off the ground and fire trailed behind it. The group was on their way to the great white north.
Will covered her mouth, feeling green. "I hate it that you move so fast..." She mumbled to herself, gripping onto the seat. "We could have used that head, you know! What if we in counter another monster on the way?" She asked, looking at the window.
''We killed a Minotaur and a Snake-Lady by our own hands, i think we'll be okay..'' Samus answered, yawning. She then randomly smiled, now looking excited at the thought of going back to Canada. ''Aren't you guys excited to go to Canada?'' The young girl asked, turning around, back to the window and looking at her friends with the same smile. She was mentally making a victory dance.
Alex nodded and smiled at Sam's enthusiasm. "Sparky's right. We're Half-bloods, we got this!" he said as the car sped across the sky. John shot Sam an excited grin and laughed a little. "Like I'm totally excited Sammy!" he cheered. "I read about this restaurant in Toronto. It has vegetarian poutine and better yet, its all you can eeeeaat!" he bleated happily. Alex laughed at his friend's seemingly bottomless stomach then looked at Willow in the rearview mirror. "So Will, you excited?" he asked, trying to fly as smooth as he could for her benefit.
"I guess. I'm not hungry anymore though." She admitted, covering her mouth. "Just try to get there as fast, yet smooth, as possible, please..." She blushed at her weak stomach, not looking out the window anymore.
''You'll see Will, Poutine is the best thing you can ever eat in your life!'' Samus cheered, still smiling. ''Uh.. also.. how much time before we arrive?'' The young girl asked, still excited and not wanting to wait at all. Waiting could wait! Ahem.. did that even make sense? Samus just mentally shrugged and looked back to the window, waiting for an answer.
