The Son of Death

Eredos
They were gaining on me fast; I could tell this or rather sense it. The monsters have been chasing me for several days now as I made his way to the camp. I had no idea what the camp was or what it looked like just that it was located on long island. I ran through an alley way in the heart of New York looking for a way to escape the monsters following me. I so far had managed to stay away from them but they were faster than me, I glanced over my shoulder and made a crucial mistake. I was distracted by the speed they were gaining me when I tripped on a curb and stumbled into an alleyway. They then surrounded me and were arguing who was going to kill me; they were all empousai and I recognised them from my Greek classes at my school. They were having an argument on who was going to have the “honour” of drinking me dry. They eventually came to some sort of agreement as one separated from the circle and slowly walked towards me. She grabbed my arm and pulled me towards her which threw me off balance. As I fell I attempted to grab her to regain my balance but the second my hand made contact with her she exploded into a pile of dust. All the other empousai jumped back in shock so I took my chance and bolted out of the alleyway into the subway. I ran onto a train and sat down trying not to freak out, I was completely drained and had to fight to stay awake. Once the train stopped I walked off it and tried to not attract attention to myself. I made my way above ground where I found a bench and collapsed.
The first thing that I saw when I was woken was emerald green eyes full of concern and fear. She was talking to me trying to get me to stand as she guided me somewhere but I was so exhausted from before I could barely open my eyes again. Finally she slapped me and I was wide awake.
“What’s going on, where am I,” I stammered trying to get my bearings.
“Calm down,” she said still guiding me towards a black sedan on the side of the road, “Get in if you want to make it to camp alive,” she advised
I climbed into the back of the car still trying to get my bearings as she followed me, the back of the car had black leather seats and a tinted piece of glass separating the driver from the us.
“Your safe now, you can relax,” she explained to me as she took a seat and stretched out, “monsters can’t get into the car, it’s enchanted.”
“Who are you?” I asked “and who is driving the car?”
“No one,” she replied showing that the driver seat was empty and that the car was driving itself.
“Then how is the car driving and where is it going?” I asked
“It was a gift from my mum to help me get to camp but on the way I spotted to camp I spotted you on the bench and you looked…Important.”
“Ok well that explains that then how long do you think till we reach camp?” I asked
“I think about 30 minutes,” She replied
“Great, by the way, what is your name” I asked
“Emily,” she answered
“Ok cool, mines Eredos,” I responded before passing out again

Emily
I looked over at his sleeping form for probably the seventh time and still can’t believe my luck. My mum had visited me three nights ago and told me to head to this camp where I would be safe and that on the way I would find someone that will be very important later. She described him as having midnight black eyes and hair and olive skin which this particular boy does have. She also said that in the morning when I woke that a car will be waiting for me out the front of my house ready to take me to camp. That morning I said good bye to my dad and left my only home. I really hope that this camp that we are going to is safe and that I will enjoy it there. Stop worrying I told myself, everything is going to be fine once I reach camp. I rested my head against the car window and fell asleep.
We were jolted awake by the car hurtling off the road into a ditch. As the car rolled we were thrown around the cabin till the car came to a stop. I got up and checked myself for injuries, I had a nasty cut along my right arm but apart from that I was okay. A quick sideways glance to Eredos confirmed that he too had no major injuries, we made eye contact and he turned and started kicking the door open. After a few good kicks it gave in and broke away allowing us to exit the upturned car. I glanced around looking for danger and that’s when I spotted the creature. The monster was over 2 metres tall and had a single eye in the middle of his forehead and a massive club swung over his shoulder, it was a cyclops. He turned and spotted us, I looked him in the eye and he smiled at me then ran straight towards us. I turned to Eredos and grabbed his arm and screamed “RUN”.” We ran towards a hill where a fleece was hanging but the cyclops was gaining on us but Eredos had stopped. He looked back at me and yelled
“Go on I got this, I think so anyway.”
“I can’t,” I shouted back
“Trust me, get out of here” he yelled, but I stopped and turned watched what him fight the cyclops
“So you think that you can fight me, I have bested even the greater hero’s than you,” He roared
“Yeah but you haven’t fought me yet,” Eredos responded calmly before running towards the cyclops. The cyclops was a taken back by this and tried to swing his club at Eredos but missed by several inches. Eredos ducked under his arm and put his hand on the cyclops stomach; the monster froze and slowly crumbed to dust. Eredos turned to with a massive grin on his face.
“I can’t believe it worked,” he said before fainting again. I ran over to check if he was ok.
