.: Still Seven's P.o.V. :.
.: Third Person-ish :.

The children went in the vent, Seven went in last and closed the vent. Outside the harpies shreiked and soon showed up, tearing into the place like a hurricane. He quickly backed up and followed the others, ignoring the demon chicken ladies behind.

One was leading the way, using his weapon to light the way. Two was next then Mono, Six, Five, and Seven. Two turned to Mono, "So what happened when you got caught?" She asked.

Mono explained everything that happened, Seven couldn't really imgaine that just happened a few hours ago. The three other kids were shocked when Mono told them about Medusa and the Minotaur.

"So... Medusa's head is in that sack? Right now?" One asked while pointing to the sack Six held, "Uh yup. Quite disgusting," she said.

"It's not disgusting when you used it to kill the Minotaur," Two said and sighed out, "Well there goes two monsters off our list, it would be easier to move now," she said.

"Wait, where are we going?" Seven asked, Five turned to him with his apple baby in his arms, "We're gonna go back to the Hideout, it's safer there. But just like you we all aim to escape this place, but it's quite hard to do it on your own," he explained.

"So wait, you guys have a plan to escape?" Six asked and Two nodded, "Well, I do. But we're also thinking about saving the other children, not just us. It's quite mean to leave them all here, both mortal and demigod," she said.

Seven liked how that sounded. As much as he wanted to escape this place, there was many more children who are also only being brought to their deaths when they could do something for their future.

"But of course, there are those who already ran away. We haven't heard from them, so I only hope they escaped," Two continued while walking on.

"Huh, what are you planning?" Six asked, Two turned to her, "Well, we're about to build a big ship. But getting the resources is hard, and there is about the monsters milling about. It's like they are preparing for something."

"For what?" Seven asked.

"That's what we don't know yet. I think the Lady did more than just recruit the monsters for guarding the kids. Monsters aren't that naive that they would get free food, especially for someone like Medusa," One said.

"We had hunches the Lady is thinking of something more... horrid than this," Two said and pursed her lips, "And there must be a reason why the gods are silent, they weren't like that before," she mumbled.

The apple baby grumbled, "Apples."

Five stopped too and inspected his surroundings, the apple baby suddenly hopped out his arms and started jumping, "Apples! Apples!" He shouted.

Two turned to Five, "Hey, what's wrong with your karpos? He seems agitated," she asked.

"I... I think we should go," Five frowned, "Now," he said urgently.

As he said that, Seven heard a nearby vent open with some shreiks. Two cussed in the weird language like Mono did and somehow Seven understood it, "If those are harpies, they'll find out where our Hideout is," she then turned to another vent and pointed to it, "This way, c'mon!" She said while running into it.

They quickly followed behind, Seven turned to see the familiar figures of the harpies rattling the vent. They were smaller than the harpies they encoutered before, but Seven knew they would be just as nasty.

The vent turned, many times. And the farther they walked the vent, there was something stirring in Seven's gut. It was like a familiar feeling that Seven couldn't put his finger on. He quickly placed his hand on the vent wall and felt something rushing on the other side. His eyes widened, it was water.

He remembered that he always had this feeling when there is water very nearby. Actually, he always felt it since they are in a submarine ship. But Seven just shook off the feeling, it only came around when he knew water is very, very near.

"Seven! Hurry up!" He heard Mono called out and he continued running, he felt like he could do something, but he didn't know if he could really do it.

The harpies got closer and there was a grille at the other end. One was now opening it with Two and Five helping him. Six, Seven, and Mono gaurded them.

The harpies stood, there seemed to be just ten of them. They sqwaked and the one in front licked its lips, "What a feast! Athena, Demeter, Notus, Artemis, Hecate, and Poseidon all in one place!"

They sqwaked hungrily and lunged for them, Seven took a deep breath and reached out to his gut feeling and to where the water was. He hoped this would work and consentrated hard.

Suddenly the vent wall to the left shot open and a gust of water broke through, washing all the harpies out of the vent to the other wall. They all shrieked in alarm and fell to the other side. The water now died down, when some of it landed on Seven, he felt stronger.

Six, Mono, Five and Two looked at Seven with dumbfounded faces, One was still busy trying to open the vent grille. Seven faced them and shifted uncomfortably, "What?"

"Well, you're not anymore undertermind," Mono noted while looking over the vent hole that Seven just did.

When One was finally finished opening the vent grille, he turned back at them and blinked, "Uh just what happened?" One asked "I thought the harpies were there," he said.

"They were, until Seven washed them out," Six said.

"A son of Poseidon," Two mumbled then turned to the open vent grille, "Anyways, let's go. Actually it's good we know about this... We are taking the nearest route to the Hideout which has more water," she said and hopped out of the vent.

Five beamed at Seven, "That was awesome!" He said.

"Apples!" Apples the karpos agreed.

Seven smiled sheepishly, "Uh yeah, thanks."

Five smiled as he and Apples hopped on out of the vent, One was next. Six chuckled, "So that's why you understood Mono in his horse form, of course you would," she said.

"Uh why?" Seven asked.

"Poseidon is the Lord of Horses, newbie," Mono explained, "He even sired the Pegasus," he said.

Seven blinked once the information went in his mind and he thought about it. He turned to Mono terrified, "Sired... like... The Pegasus is the Poseidon's son? Are you saying I have a pegasus as a brother?" He asked.

Author: Oh Seven if you only knew.... *shakes head*

"Yup. If you only knew, there are more beings that are sired from Poseidon, the Pegasus is one of them," Mono said and hopped out the vent. Seven just looked like he ate something sour, "That's just weird..." he mumbled.

Six chuckled dryly, "Welcome to the world of mythology. Where there is some weird schist happens," she said and hopped on out. Seven shook the thought of having a pegasus as a brother and hopped on out of the vent.

He landed to a cold metal floor, his gut senses heightened so much it could've been a siren flaring off. He looked ahead and found out the reason, there was so. Much. Water.

"We have to go past that?" Six asked and Two nodded, "On the other side of this place is where the Hideout is. We made sure our Hideout could be connected from any vent in any place of the Maw," she explained.

"This is one of those emergency exits, when something very very very bad happens like harpies following you in a vent," One said as he poked the water.

Five pursed his lips, "Hopefully the Granny might be asleep. I don't wanna meet that wrinkly old potato," he said and Apples nodded, "Apples."

"So... we cross that?" Six asked.

"Yup, I hope you know how to swim," Two said and hopped on in, One followed and Five and Apples too. Mono went to the edge and turned to a brown otter, then hopped on in.

Six looked like she was internally freaking out, Seven turned to her, "You want me to carry you?" He asked and Six huffed, "I can do this, but thanks anyways," she said as she held out her hand and rope appeared.

"Here, so you don't need to carry that sword," Six said and Seven accepted it, "Oh uh, thanks," he said. Six nodded while tying the sack over her waist and diving into the water.

And Six started freaking out.

Seven quickly tied the rope around his waist and rest the sword on the side, then dived in. The water surrounded him, but didn't made him wet. He felt it easing the stings on his back and gave him strength.

He turned to see Six failing around and he swam to her, he held her arm, keeping her steady.

"So you don't know how to swim," he said and Six scowled, "Yeah I don't. Years of being in a room with a suitcase won't teach me how to swim," She said through gritted teeth.

Seven chuckled, "Just calm down, okay? Strech out your hands and kick your feet to keep afloat," he said while letting go of Six. Six tried it and started to drown again. Seven helped her afloat again, "It's useless," she said.

"Just try again, hurry or we'll lose the others," Seven insisted and Six huffed and let go. She gasped, "I'm swimming!"

"Correction, you're floating," Seven said, Six huffed, "Whatever," she said and tried to swim away. And well, she sank. Seven sighed and held her shoulder, then used his other hand to swim where the other were.

Otter Mono was waiting for them and started swimming again when they were near. Six started to kick her feet and move her free arm while Seven held her, but would have her head over the water most of the times.

"This is hard," Six gasped while spitting water out her mouth, Seven only pursed his lips to hold in his chuckle. Six squinted at him, "I know you're trying to hold in your laughter," she said.

"Actually I am," he said, Six scoffed, "Just keep swimming please," she said.

There was a platform ahead. Two and One were already on it while Five helped Apples up, then Apples helped him up. Otter Mono hopped on and shook his fur off of water. Seven pushed him and Six up, he was a bit tired from swimming with Six at tow, but he could manage.

"You've made it," One joked and Six huffed, "Not my problem I don't know how to swim," she said while standing up. Otter Mono chittered, but they couldn't understand Otter speak so it was hard to know what he meant.

"Oh well, let's get going. The quicker we go to the Hideout, the better," Two said and walked on, "Apples!" Apples agreed while following her. They was walked on until there was a metal ladder on the wall.

Two and One climbed up first. Apples hopped on Five's shoulder and he climbed on up. Otter Mono waited for the two and hopped on Six's shoulder, chittering urgently at her.

"Want me to shove you off my shoulder?" Six threatened and Otter Mono snarled, his sharp teeth gleaming at Six.

"I don't think it's wise to do that," Seven said while climbing up the ladder, Otter Mono chittered agreeingly and Six rolled her eyes before she started climbing on up too.

On the top of the platform was more water, but had some suitcases, crates and barrels floating around. The others waited for them, and Otter Mono hopped on off Six's shoulder.

Two pointed over the other platfrom that was very far away from them, "On that platform is where the Granny would be resting, we have to be careful and silent as possible," she said and the two nodded.

Two and One went on over the first barrel, they hopped on the suitcase before Five (with Apples over his shoulder), Six, and Seven hopped on a crate. This continued unil they made it halfway through. Otter Mono just swam, he was small and speedy so he could keep up.

Suddenly, Apples perked up from his place on Five's shoulder and started looking around alarmingly, "Apples! Apples!" He shouted.

Six turned to Five, "What does that mean?" She asked him and Five started looking around too with fear etched on his face, "Apples senses something coming to us."

Seven looked down to the water and saw bubbles floating up, it was closing in on Mono. A hand shot out and grabbed Mono, he squeaked in surprise and started failing about from their grasp.

"Mono!" Six gasped, Apples snarled, "ApPlEs!!!" He shouted.

"It's the Granny!" One shouted.
