Liam sprinted as fast as he could, weaving in and out through the tree's. You could hear the heavy beating of wings from above the trees.Why did I think this was a good idea? he thought as he jumped over a small bush in his way. He had originally came to Idaho visit some relatives who lived there, and possibly give a quick look around for Hayden, but on the way he was driven off the trial to his relative's home when he hear a heavy and load screech to the side of him.
The creature that was chasing him gave another deadly screech that bombarded Liam's sensitive ears. His chest heaved as his heart was griped afresh by a stronger bought of pure and utter fear. A fresh does of adrenaline made him push forward even harder than he had before, his throat threatened to let lose a scream. Liam felt his abnormally large shoulder bag start to slide down his shoulder when he vaulted over a fallen log, which he swiftly corrected.
Liam legs felt as if a fire was burning inside them, but he knew he couldn't stop. Such an action could sure spell death for him. He thought he saw some movement up ahead of him, but st the moment he was a bit too preoccupied to think or worry about it. The creature let lose another roaring screech, Liam wasn't sure if he had a fear driven yell in response.

Hayden had spent the last few weeks on the run from a particular huntress who needed a new hobby. No seriously, this girl was actually relentless, usually the huntresses that were sent after him lost him a few hours, possibly few days after first finding him. Not this one, Hayden hadn't slept an entire night since leaving camp a week ago.
He had more recently found himself in the middle of a Idaho state forest, he had been running for a straight four miles off of the road, which was the last place he had ran into her. Hayden slowed his pace down to a fast walk, he no longer heard the girl behind him and figured he'd catch his breath for a few minutes before he'd have to start running again. He reached into his backpack​ to search for his water bottle, which he found to be almost completely empty. He sighed, as he drank the last bit of it, hopefully he'd have a chance to fill it up again so. He placed the now empty water bottle back inside his backpack, and started jogging again.

The son of Bia ran as if his life depended on it, which it did. Though the amount of physical exertion was making him feel like he was going to die. He was going to be sore for day's, but he'll come out stronger than he was. A brown haired person appeared in front of Liam from behind a tree, before he could react he barreled right into him. The son of Bia practically rolled a few feet away from the teen he just ran into.
"Ow." Liam said as he laid his hand gingerly on his head, dazed from the impact. He quickly got over his pain induced daze and quickly started digging through his shoulder bag. He pulled out an oddly shaped sword. The first third of the blade was straight, but the last two curved forward and back, it looked much like an ax head. Then he pulled out a dagger with slots in the blade and larger guard than normal from it's scabbard at his side. Both were made from Celestial Bronze.
He turned back around, and braced himself. Liam could hear the griffin breathing in the shadows of the trees.
"Dude, get ready!" He said not paying him much attention. His fear was load and clear in his voice, as well as in his body language, the knuckles on his cold sweaty hands were white. He was also trembling from head to toe. His red tee shirt was drenched in sweat, and his jeans and white sneakers were caked with mud. He wasn't sure if either him or the other kid would make it out alive.

Hayden had just started running again, he had his eyes on the ground so he could watch for roots on the uneven ground below him so he really wasn't paying much attention to anything else other than the girl chasing him. He made a quick left turn next to a huge tree, and that's when he felt a large mass barrel right into him. He lost his footing, and fell backwards on to his back. He gasped out an "Ow," as he lost his breath on impact, but he quickly stood up again wiping blood from his nose.
"How the hell did you piss off a Griffin?!" Hayden yelled at the other kid, as he pulled his bow out. He aimed an arrow for the Griffins weak spot, and shot at it. He didn't need to be told to get ready, his bow was in his hands from the moment he stood up. He ducked under the claws of the Griffin, since apparently all his arrow did was anger it a bit.

"I don't know! I think it just want's it's lunch!" Liam shouted as he jumped away from the griffin as it turned him.
Liam took a deep breath and threw his Sword-breaker (the dagger), he drew on his power and increased the speed at which the dagger flew. It flew at a speed that should be impossible for a human to produce. The blade disappeared into the griffin's side. The griffin seemed to get even more agitated more than it already was.
The griffin swiped at the son of Bia with it's one of it's forelegs. Liam jumped out of the way, but not unscathed with new bleeding cuts on his forearm.

At this point Hayden had momentarily forgotten what he was originally running from. He took a few steps back now that the Griffin was distracted by the other kid. He aimed a second arrow to the griffin's face, and watched as the arrow went straight through the Griffin's eye and out the back of its head. It fell to the ground in a pile of dust, dead. "There." He said, sighing as he leaned against the tree that was behind him.
It was then that he was given a reminder of what had brought him into this area to begin with, an arrow that was definitely not his whizzed past his face and sliced through his cheek. "Crap! Hey if you wanna continue to live! Start running!" He said, then took off again.

"Got it!" Liam telekinetically grabbed his shoulder bag and dagger and brought it to him and started bolting after the guy. He for the second time today, was running for his life and as fast as he possibly could. He absorbed the energy in the air around him, making it easier for him to push on forward faster, leaving the air behind him abnormally cold for the weather this time of year. He slowly closed the gap between him and the other guy. When he got close to him Liam thought up a plan, it wasn't necessarily a good one, but it was better than just running aimlessly.
He stretched his arm out to the other kid, after he had stashed his weapons in his bag.
"Grab my hand! I got a plan!" The son of Bia yelled, hoping that he trusted him enough.

Hayden felt a second arrow hit his shoulder, and the force made him stumble a bit. He reach his left hand over to pull the arrow out, and threw the bloody arrow onto the forest ground as he looked over at the other demi-god running a little bit behind him. Hayden wasn't usually a very trusting person, but at this point anything was better than the crazy huntress that got the two of them into this mess to begin with. So, against his better judgement he made the decision to grab the kids hand anyway. "Whatever it is, I'll kill you if it doesn't work, or if it's some kind of trick, you got that?" Hayden threatened.

"We'll live, not unscathed at least. I hope" He sighed, but started the plan before he could have gotten any protests.
He expanded his energy siphoning horizons, taking energy from the air, trees, and other things. Soon as the kinetic energy was removed from the air the temperature dropped where you could clearly see your own breath. His senses heightened from this intake of energy, he could hear the light breathing of the huntress chasing them and taste the dirt in the air. He waited until he heard the twang of string on her bow being released before he released a huge telekinetic bast behind them, but since Newton's Third Law is a thing the duo were launched forward at a speed much faster than they were moving at.
The huntress and her arrow was simultaneously launched in the opposite direction. Liam quickly drew the kid closer and created a shield made of energy around them, it looked like a mixture of water and glass. They smashed through at least ten trees before they hit the ground.

"You hope?!" Hayden asked, glaring at him. "What do y-" His words were cut off by the air around them dropping in temperature, and then the kind of invisible force that shoved them forward. He gasped, feeling the air leave his lungs as they eventually came to a crashing halt on the ground. "Ow... How the hell did you manage that?!" Hayden asked, after taking a minute to sit up. He looked at the direction they had come from and could see the damaged trees they left behind them.

"Well, in short I guess I'm telekinetic. Though my abilities do extend to energy and stuff like that. I don't really know exactly, I've only been at this for a week, so." He shrugged.
In all honesty, he was still experimenting what he could do with his abilities, and to top it all of he didn't understand them that much either. He didn't expect his plan to work as well as it did, seeing as he didn't know exactly what he was capable of doing.
"I'm Liam by the way." He said tiredly, it now dawned on him what the cost was for using his powers, the feeling of tiredness that usually proceeds a heavy workout washed over him.

Zosime felt the wind being ripped from her lungs as her back collided against the trunk of a tree. "Gamó!" she cursed loudly, panting for breath. Who had that been? Hayden had been alone....and at her mercy. She had been *this* close to having eradicating the abomination once and for all!

Snarling in anger as she got back to her feet, she raced forward in the direction the two boys had taken. Well, now there would be two pathetic males dead instead of one. The world was going to be a much better place once Zosime was through with them.

"Well that's cool. Hayden by the way..." He said after a few seconds. His eyes were scanning the area, hoping the telekinetic thing gave them an extra few minutes. So far, he didn't see anything out of the ordinary, aside from the ruined trees. "We shouldn't stay for too long... Are you ok to keep going?" Hayden asked Liam.

Liam absorbed some energy from the plants around him, just enough until his legs stopped shaking.
"Yeah, I think I can keep going." He said as he stood.
He glanced around, wondering which direction they were going to head in. Then he he noticed that for a while now, he was only running on pure energy. He figured that was not good for his health and needed to get something in his system, and he bet that Hayden needed to as well. So, he fished out two granola bars and water bottles. He held out one of each out to Hayden. "Want some?"

"OK good. Cause we're gonna have to leave here soon." Hayden said, eyeing the food. He was reminded that he hadn't really eaten anything of actual substance in a few days, and looking at the food made his stomach growl. He took the granola bar, and opened the wrapper. "Thanks." He mumbled, he wasn't used to being helped it felt kind of odd to him, but at the moment being helped was the least of his worries.

Zosime spotted the two boys sitting down, conversing with each other. She felt a flame of hatred build up in her when her eyes beheld the other boy with Hayden. How dare this petty mortal interfere with her hunt--or the hunt of any of the followers of Artemis? Hayden needed to die....he did not even know what he was, and that was dangerous.

She notched a silver arrow and drew the string of her bow backwards. She raised the bow and aimed at Hayden's chest--only for that other fool to lean forward, blocking her target. Zosime swore in Ancient Greek before redirecting her aim to Hayden's leg, the only part of his body that was exposed. She would rather injure Hayden than kill the other boy; if she killed the boy first, that would give Hayden enough time to run. Injuring his leg would ensure no such escape.

The Hunter released both a deep breath and the arrow at the same time and watched the silver streak fly towards its target....

Hayden was still keeping his eyes out as they ate their granola bars, and drank the water. Even so, he didn't see the silver arrow until it was lodged in his leg. He gasped in pain, before forcing himself to stand up and aim his own bow and arrow in the direction the shot came from. He let too arrows fly towards the spot he was almost 95% certain the huntress was hiding in. "Damn it. Liam! We got to go now!" He said, looking over to him.

Liam chased down Hayden's arrows with his own bolt of energy. He wasn't sure if Hayden could run or not, so he scooped him up bridal style and started running. He let lose a few curses before he bolted, though his Hayden was a bit heavier than he had expected, but adrenaline and energy powers sure do help when in this kind of situation.
He let lose an occasional burst of energy behind him, to propel him forward and deflect possible arrows.
"I hope you don't mind being carried like this, it's only for the time being. Until, well you know." He breathed.

Zosime dove towards the ground just seconds before two of Hayden's arrows thudded into the tree behind her at an unnatural speed--right where her head had been, actually. That other boy must've helped him because Zosime knew all of Hayden's strengths and weaknesses; she'd made sure to find out everything about him as soon as he'd left the Lotus Casino. She had even questioned Artemis herself, though the goddess had been quite hesitant to release any information on her adopted son. Just the thought of this boy being Artemis's son burned rage into Zosime's heart. How could it be that her Lady Artemis--her patron, her protector, her surrogate mother--allow herself to fall into temptation? The goddess had sworn to forever be a maiden and never have children--even adopted ones who were half-blood sons of giants and destined to have the power to destroy Olympus. It was utter selfishness--foolishness! She jumped up with a speed only a Hunter with hundreds of years of experience under her belt could claim to have. Quickly, her keen eyes assessed the situation: her arrow had hit its mark, and Hayden was unable to run, so the other boy was currently carrying him and running. Zosime grinned darkly; the boy had displayed a lot of power, but surely he couldn't keep carrying the son of Orion and keep up that speed for long. If she played her cards right and didn't slip up, both Hayden and this troublemaker would be dead. She took off after them, tearing through the woods, leaping over roots and avoiding other obstacles with a grace that authors of fiction wrote about the elves of legend having. She quickly covered several feet....yards....ten yards....she was gaining.

"Well I certainly could've been asked before you actually picked me up." Hayden said, trying really hard not to be sarcastic or rude. Though, Hayden wasn't too sure how far he could've gotten on his injured leg without some kind of help so he decided not to complain too much about this. Liam was just trying to help after all. Hayden looked behind them, the huntress was just starting to gain on them pretty quickly, before he couldn't actually see her and had just guess where she was. He aimed an arrow at her, hoping to slow her down, Liam was moving too fast for him to get a perfect shot, but that didn't mean he couldn't try anyway. He shot a few arrows at her, and watched as they flew towards her.

Liam grunted in response as he shifted his position slightly as Hayden tried to pull off a few shoots against their pursuer.
"Any chance they could be persuaded? To like, not attack us?" He voice was laced with fear and tiredness, he was sure that he couldn't keep it up for long.
Liam stopped using his abilities, now baring the full weight of him in his arms. As well as no bursts of energy. He started moving a little bit faster as he was not preoccupied with other things. His legs burned, his arms burned, His mouth was dry and his breath's were ragged. Soon, his arms started trembling lightly, more out of fear than anything else. Then he remembered something very useful.
"I have some ambrosia in my bag, it's in one of the side pockets." He speed was waning, he was sure it would help if Hayden got some ambrosia, and maybe a little fro himself too.
"Don't forget to take the arrow out first!"
He was sure that the huntress heard him, he wasn't exactly being quiet, but right now all he wanted was to live until tomorrow.

"Ok. Stop at the tree over there, we're gonna have to face her head on eventually. Might as well get it over with now. She's still too far away, we'll have a few minutes before she catches up. I'll have enough time to pull the arrow out, and you're starting to look like you could use some ambrosia too." Hayden told him, well some of it was too Liam, and some of it was just Hayden talking to himself, which he tended to do in situations like this. It was a weird process but it worked. "She's been chasing me for a week, she can't be persuaded. Most give up by now.... Not this one though." He shot another arrow into the huntress's direction.

Zosime didn't even have to dodge the arrows; the boy holding the son of Orion was moving so fast that Hayden couldn't get a proper aim. Zosime smirked as she picked up the pace. She still had quite a bit of ground to cover, and the boy seemed to be moving faster despite the fact that he was carrying Hayden in his arms, so she forced herself to run faster. She wasn't about to give up--she wasn't ever going to give up. She wouldn't stop until either Hayden was dead or she was.

Liam zipped around the tree and went a few tree's further before he stopped, he placed Hayden down as fast and as gently as he could. He left Hayden to take out the arrow in his leg, he didn't trust himself enough to take it out himself. He quickly opened his bag and rummaged around in it. He pulled out a square if ambrosia and half of one, he handed Hayden the full one and kept the half for himself. He ate it and warmth flooded his senses, as well as the taste of vanilla yogurt. The cuts on his arms closed as well as the scratches he had gotten the fast few minutes. His fatigue also ebbed away quite a bit, until only a slight drowsiness remained. He pulled out his weapons and looked over at Hayden.
"How do you think this is going to go?" Liam didn't think they were going to win.

Hayden reached for the arrow sticking out of his leg, the moment he was on the ground. It hurt badly, and took a lot of will power to not yell out in pain as he yanked the arrow out. He ate the square of ambrosia, and watched as the hole healed leaving just a scar in its place. He stood up quickly, the ambrosia also killing off the fatigue and weariness his body was starting to get used to over the past week of running. He held his bow in a ready position, before looking over at Liam. He smirked at him, "it's best not to think about losing." He told him, diverted his attention back to the trees he expected the huntress to appear from. This was probably his dumbest plan yet and there have been a few so far, but they were pretty much out of options at this point.
