I listened more carefully.
 One, two, three. Three knocks. Tony was right.
 "Go," I said. "Go!"
 Fera ran away so quickly I can barely see her. Tony went underground -- Underworld. James ran after Fera. Laura stayed by my side.
 "Why aren't you running?" I asked her. She smiled.
 "I'm always by your side, remember?"
 "I thought it was just a song lyric." But I have to admit, I am sort of pleased having Laura around.
 Laura raised Chrusos. She isn't to defend. She's to fight. I smiled and raised Silverlight.
 "Let's go," I said.
 We ran to the other side of the alley. I accidentally kicked a paper and realized it was the test questions.
 "Check this out," Laura said as she took a sheet while running. "Benjamin Franklin is known for his kite-and-key experiment that he did in the middle of a thunderstorm. In what year does he did this?"
 "I don't think I know when," I said. "But Franklin is a Thor-Blessed. He won't get shocked in that experiment -- which is pretty much fine."
 Laura laughed. "Right, and who's supposed to be a child of Aphrodite?"
 "Don't ask," I said grimly. My last encounter with an Aphrodite offspring didn't go on so well -- I can only cope with Laura and that's the best already. "I just know that Shaka Zulu's Buffalo Horn tactic is apparently given by Athena through the animals around Africa."
 "And you know that from...?"
 "She told me."
 "Oh."
 We finally reached the door. It was dark outside school. No one is around -- everyone's fled when the storm started striking in.
 "Show yourself," I said. Laura prepared her Chrusos to fight.
 A hooded figure appeared. He held a grip in his right hand and a silver knife in the left.
 The grip glowed and started spreading electricity. I felt the power and took Silverlight into action just in time.
 It shot an electricity bolt. Silverlight managed to disperse it into air. Laura shot to that man, but he suddenly disappeared.
 "Who's that?" Laura asked. I shrugged.
 "Probably a Zeus demigod. Or a Thor-Blessed."
 Then a voice rose, "Or neither."
 We looked back. Another lightning bolt struck me, but this time I have no chance to neither defend nor evade the attack. Laura was hit as well. We flew for several feet backwards when the man disappeared again.
 Where could he be? I looked around but he's nowhere in sight. But then that's when a ball of wind emerged from the air and pushed something -- or someone -- away.
 "Will!" I cried. He's the only one able to do this. Will smiled from the distance.
 "I'm not too late, am I?" he asked. Laura stood up and helped me to get on my feet. She hugged Will.
 "It's a long time," she said. "How's your father?"
 "He's good," Will said. "But -- look out!"
 His sudden warning made its way into my mind quickly and I ducked. Will swung his blade Anemos into where I was and a blast of wind appeared there. The hooded man was thrown away.
 "Let's see who this is," Will said as he forced the hood open. But then Laura gasped and I can feel myself paling.
 The man was headless.

Well, that's it for now.
