.: Six's P.o.V. :.
.: Third Person-ish:.
The horse neighed indignantly and rattled its cage upon seeing the Janitor, meanwhile Six froze inside her cage in fear of the Janitor noticing. She noticed the bars were bent so she could manage to now sneak out, but the Janitor was a problem. A big problem.
The rest of the myth monsters now reacted, all frantically pushing and shrieking, the Janitor growled and slammed his fist on the doorframe, "Shut up you bad excuse of monsters!" He shouted and all the monsters' noises died down.
Six hoped that even if she was staying still, she wouldn't get noticed. But her cage fell, and the Janitor probably noticed it by now. If not he is blind and deaf.
Unfortunately, the Janitor heard the cage fall and patted the ground for Six's cage. Six noticed Seven moving about and turned to him, she inched her head closer to him and saw he trying to get her attention.
"Get out of there," he mouthed and Six nodded, slowly she gripped on the uneven bent bars and climbed out. More bad luck seems to be with Six since when she placed her foot on the bars, it snapped down hard and she slipped. She gripped on the other bar and internally screamed as she looked down and saw a cut on her foot.
The Janitor snapped his head to Six's direction and rose his arm to her cage, "What is this?" He growled while his hand inched for Six's cage. Six pushed all her strength to scramble out of the cage and prayed to any god there is that the Janitor wouldn't notice her, which is stupid since he already noticed the sound.
Forunately, some good luck came by. The horse rattled its cage so much it finally toppled over, nearly flattening the Janitor's arm nearly by an inch. The cage fell with a loud bang and the metal bars flew around, nearly hitting Six if she didn't lower her head. In that process the rope that held the horse down snapped and it trotted out neighing.
"Oh no you don't!" The Janitor growled as he blindly reached for the horse. The horse wasn't a fast one, but it was very agile and quickly dodged the Janitor's hands. It ran off to Six's direction, causing Six to furrow her eyebrows.
Seven was once again making movements and Six looked up to him, "Get on the horse!" He mouthed while pointing the incoming horse and Six nodded, waiting for the horse come closer and she gripped on its mane. Urging all her strength she could to mount the horse running to her direction and together they ran off, the Janitor growling and following behind.
"Come back here you stupid demigod!" He bellowed while chasing behind, Six gulped, he knows. After all, the Janitor can smell anything like some kind of police dog.
The horse huffed before hopping onto the stack of crates, clambering up to the top one and hopped onto a pipe that connected a bit vent. Six watched the Janitor follow far below and walk by. She sighed out in relief and dismounted the horse, walking carefully over to the edge of the pipe to see the coast is clear.
"Well that was close."
Six jolted and nearly slipped from that action. She turned and gasped to see from what once was a horse was now a child. He was a boy - seemly older than Six, probably eleven - with a brown paperbag over his head, a brown trenchcoat, light brown shirt and pants that are ankle high. Six yelped and backed away from the boy.
"What the hell?!" She shouted, "WHO ARE- Mph?!" She was cut off when the boy covered her mouth with his hand and placed his other hand on his mouth on a gesture to be silent. Although his face was hidden from the paperbag, she felt him glare at her to shut up, "The Janitor will hear you idiot," he warned, "Be silent."
"Mph mph mphmphm mph!" Six tried to talk saying, "Okay now let me go!" while his hand still covered her mouth. The boy sighed, "You won't scream?"
Six shook her head.
The boy nodded, "Okay, don't scream or I'll frikin tape your mouth," he said and let go of Six's mouth, letting her finally talk. She looked over the boy and came with one conclusion.
"You're a demigod aren't you?" Six asked and the boy nodded, "Yeah, I heard a bit of you're conversation with the other one. We should help him," he said.
"Who are you?" Six asked and the boy froze up a bit like his own life was embarrassing to tell. He took a deep breath, "I'm Mono," Mono answered and Six nodded, "And I'm Six. I'm a demigod like you and Hecate is my parent... Who is your god parent?" She asked.
Mono once again froze, like he expected that question and glared at Six like she asked something classified. He sighed and grumbled, "Son of.... Artemis," he mumbled the last part completely not wanting anyone to hear, yet Six did and she dropped her jaw.
"What?!" Six exclaimed not that loudly as before and Mono nodded while glaring up at her, "Yeah I know, how did I come to life? Don't ask that or I'll give you an embarrassing messed up thing called an explaination of my birth," He growled a bit while Six just continued to stare at him with her jaw wide open.
You see, Artemis, goddess of the Moon and the Hunt, is a maiden goddess. She must not have children from the start since, duh, maiden. Not once there was a child of Artemis in myth stories Six have heard or read.
"You're gonna catch flies with your mouth hung open like that," Mono pointed out and pushed up Six's lower jaw. Six blinked and squinted at him like she was trying watching him clearly, "You're a thought child aren't you?"
"Moving on," he said not wanting to answer that, "Let's save your friend," Mono said while turning to the edge of the pipes, "It'll be faster with me riding as a horse, so you get on," he said and Six nodded.
"Is that the power of being an Artemis kid? You turn to any animal?" Six asked and Mono nodded, "Yes, now we're gonna save the other kid or not?" He asked in a... 'mono'tone voice and Six nodded, "Yeah."
Author: I HAD TO.
Six: lololololololol
Seven: lololololol
Mono: ... I hate you.
Author: Go back to pranking the set Mono!
Mono hummed and black swirls covered him, turning him once into the brown horse with white dapples and a black mane. Mono neighed urgently and Six quickly climbed up to his back. Mono then hopped off the pipe, and off the crates, and they both ran off to one of the cage rooms. Luckily the door was still open, and Mono inched inside.
Six saw the two cages that they broke while Seven was still in the cages, sat on the corner while resting his head by the bars.
"Seven!" Six whisper called and he perked up, scrambling to the edge of the bars and grinned, "Six!"
The horse huffed and Seven's head shot back, his eyebrow raising while he stared the horse, "Dude can you talk?"
"Uh what," Six asked and Seven looked over the horse and to Six, "You can't understand him?"
"No I can't," Six answered back while dismounting horse Mono, quickly Mono turned back into a child and Seven gasped, "Oh my god WHAT THE--"
Six and Mono shushed him and Seven didn't finish what he was going to shout while snapping his mouth shut, blinking, then opening it again, "I understood you," he said, "While on your... horse form."
Mono sighed and climbed the other cages with Six following behind, "Well that makes you a horse whisperer or a demigod. Congrats," he said and Seven blinked, not saying anything next.
"Wait who are you?" Seven asked and Mono looked at him, "I'm Mono, nice to meet you," he said blantly and Seven nodded, "I'm Seven. I was told I was a supposed demigod not a few minutes ago," he said.
"Well you're in for a treat. You're just seeing the surface of being a demigod," Mono said while looking around the cages, "Okay I'll go find the keys," he said while hopping down, walking off.
Seven watched Mono go before looking at Six, "The horse was Mono?" He asked and Six nodded, "Yeah, you just saw him return back right?"
"He's a demigod too?" Seven asked and Six nodded, "Yeah, he is. He can turn to any animal, that's his power, horse-whisperer," she said the last part in a joking voice and Seven glared at her, "Don't get used to calling me a horse whisperer. It was so weird," he said, "I understood him."
"Probably your power or something," Six shrugged.
There was a jingle of keys and the two turned to the sound to see Mono walking in dragging a set of keys, he climbed up and inserted the right key into the lock. Pushing it and the cage door opened.
Seven walked on out and smiled at Mono, "Thanks," he said while the paperbag headed boy shrugged, "No problem."
There was a shrill outside the room, Mono perked up then lowered his head while he listened, the shrill sound continued with shrieking laughter. Six frowned knowing what that was. Donkey bronze legged girls with too much make up and horrible fashion senses that the Lady tried to give them.
"Oh my goiD Fanny you heard about the new found deeemigod?" One of those girls shrill, "He escaped! Expected from a child of the Big Three."
"I kNoW Talla, iMaGinE, dRinkIng hIs bLoOd!" The other, whom Six assumed is Fanny, said in a shrill voice that rose and sunk too quickly. Then all of them shieked on the simple thought of drinking up some demigod's blood.
Six heard the harpy groan and she turned to it, she was trying to cover her head with her wings. Six would agree with that high pitched shrilling voices that are far too loud.
Mono sighed, "Empousai," he grumbled and Seven turned to him, "Uh, what is that?"
"Donkey-bronze-legged woman with fangs that drink up the blood of a person like a vampire, they like demigod blood the best," Mono explained and Seven gulped, "That's.... something."
"Hey Betha! Look! The door to Cage Room 5 is open," The same voice as before, who was Talla, pointed out, "Wanna go steal up some food from the pigs? I bet the Lady wouldn't care less if we drink up all the children's blood!"
"And that's our que to leave," Mono said as he hopped down the cages as Six followed, Seven's eyes widened and turned back to the other children which were floating off from reality, he frowned while facing Mono, "What about them?! Those empousai will eat them!"
"We have to go, our life or theirs" Mono said and Six agreed to it, but didn't say anything with the disagreeing face Seven did. Now it was time to run off and not waste time.
Seven frowned, hopped down and snatched the keys from Mono.
"What are you doing?" Mono asked indecorously as Seven walked on to the cages, "Hey you!" He said to the child inside who snapped out his thoughts, "Me?" He mumbled
"Yeah, you," Seven said as he opened the cage, "Get the others out," he said before dropping the keys to into the cage and the child stayed in shock for a while. Seven turned to the two, "Now that wasn't hard right? Now we can go."
Mono stayed silent before he sighed, "Okay now let's go," he said before turning around, walking off. Seven rolled his eyes and walked on, Six looking over at her two new escapees like her. She probably guessing they won't be such good friends.
Six made a quick look over the child Seven opened the cage to who now got the keys, he looked up at them and smiled, "T-thank you," he mustered all his strength to shout that out and scrambled up to open up the other cages.
Seven is really a different kind of demigod, Six mused as she picked up her pace to follow the two boys.
"See? Wasn't a waste of time," Seven said while they walked out the door, "Yeah sure."
"OhMy GoId GIRLS THEY'RE EsCaPinGggggGggggg!!!!" One of the empousai shrilled out and caused the three to jolt from the sudden too loud shrieky voice. They turned back and faced to face with them.
They were thin all wore thick horrible make-up that made them ghastly and torn up kimonos that the Lady had hand-me-downed to them. Since the skirt part of the kimono was slightly torn, it shone out the one bronze leg and the other donkey leg that had bright horrendous nail polish.
They were like trying hard cheerleaders honestly with bright shiny fangs.
"Just great," Mono mumbled.
