Camp Half-Blood (arrival)

"Mum drive faster or let me drive!" I shout at mum as I look in the rearview mirror and see the Minotaur start to slowly gain on us.

"What do you mean let you drive your only 11 young lady!" Mum shouted back at me as she accelerates even more trying to gain distance on the Minotaur that was following us, sadly the Minotaur seemed to be accelerating faster than we were and the car wasn't doing so good. Behind me, Percy was panicking with Grover trying to explain I, on the other hand, was trying to figure out whether I should try to take out the Minotaur before it captures mum but in the end, I decide to prioritise Grover's safety during that moment and also maybe have a laugh at Percy if he gets on the things back cause while it might be an okay plan there are better plans that he could go for but we will see when we get there.

"Incoming!" I shout noticing that the damned bull had thrown something at the car, my warning was slightly too late however as no sooner had it left my throat did the tree hit the car flipping it.

"Mum get Percy and Grover then run I'll try slow this lump of steak down," I state pulling myself from the car and start walking towards the Minotaur before dropping as I reached him tripping him and sending him tumbling to the ground. As I rolled to my feet one rib was probably broken if the difficulty breathing is anything to go by I look back and see mum pulling Grover out of the car with Percy's help then they start running up the hill mum pushing Percy and Grover ahead of her while constantly looking back at me.

While I was distracted making sure mum had gotten the others out of the car the Minotaur managed to get up and ignoring me as though I was not his target he ran towards the others barreling towards them at full speed seeing this I shout "jump left now you have incoming!" Hoping that they will hear me and listen I start running to try to help them my lungs not exactly working as well as they should be if my laboured breaths are telling me anything, "damned lack of pain can't tell what is wrong but won't let me function without some form of feedback regards" I mutter under my breath while chasing the others 'Lily any ideas on what we can do?'

'No sorry Night I don't think we can do anything without impacting Percy's growth and also revealing our own abilities to the world which we don't want to do at the moment all I can think of is helping Grover and carry Percy to the border and across it if we can once this is all over.' I groan hearing Lily's reply to my question after having hoped that she would have had some form of plan we could have used to be less useless in this situation but even if we had a plan we are moving too slow to help anymore and while running we are forced to watch as mum is grabbed and turns to dust in the Minotaurs hands we also see Percy get mad and panicked before managing to kill the Minotaur with its own horn before he collapses from his wounds and exhaustion.

Stumbling up to Percy and Grover I struggle to sling them both over my shoulder before slowly climbing up the rest of the hill and looking down into the valley below. I try to take a step forward past the boundary but something stops me and I can't move another step forward, so laying Percy and Grover on the ground I look to see if there is anyone in the camp still out so I can signal them with the torch I keep on my belt at all times it lives there right beside my steel knife which is probably useless to me. 'Night there by the main building a centaur' Lily breaks me out of my thoughts by pointing out the figure on the porch of the main building I can only assume is the Big House from its appearance seeing them I grab my torch and start flashing it in their direction and after a bit I see them start moving towards me, seeing this I turn off my light and start trying to make sure there is nothing coming towards us.

"Night what... oh you should bring them to the Big House with me so we can patch them up." as the centaur who looks like Mr Brunner comes up to me I can see the look of confusion change to one of worry as he sees Percy and Grover lying at my feet.

"Mr Brunner sir I would love to bring them there but I can't, not out of unwillingness but because I quite literally can not take another step forwards from this place so you will have to take them," I inform Mr Brunner and as I do I show him by trying to take a step forward only to be stopped by the barrier surrounding the camp and at this he seems surprised before possibly remembering the minor detail of I am adopted into the Jackson family not born into it by a god and Sally/mum having a child.

"Ah sorry about that I Chiron grant permission for Nightingale Jackson to enter Camp Half-Blood" as he finishes I almost fall face first as the barrier I had been leaning against stops supporting me and allows me through, seeing this Chiron lets out a small chuckle before picking up Grover and motioning for me to pick up my brother.

Picking up Percy I start to follow Chiron towards the building he was standing at when Lily and I first spotted him.
