I was in the hotel room. My dad had to go on a business trip in London, so I decided to follow, since I didn't have any choice. I could've stayed at camp, but I've always wanted to travel, so I took this opportunity. I was rereading How to kill a Mockingbird in ancient greek for the sixth time, it was one of my favorite book and I coud pratically recite it by heart now, when loud noise woke me from my thoughts. There was a monster outside my room, I could feel it. My dad, his girlfriend and my stepbrothers started to panic. The monster bursted into the hotel room and I knew I had to protect this family, my family, from this monster. I ran out, but not before apologizing to my dad. Right now, I only hoped it would follow me instead of hurting them. It was my fault if it came here. I ruined their trip.
The monster wasn't chasing me anymore. It seemed to only rely on his eyes, he couldn't smell anything so, after making sure it wouldn't go back to the hotel, I just put on my Yankee's hat and ran. I had been running around for two days. I hadn't been able to contact anyone, I was too far away from America, Iris-messaging wouldn't work. I knew London's streets, I had read all about them in every book I could find about this city, but I was so exhausted, none of those streets seemed familiar and I really had to go to the airport. I was definitely going the wrong way. How could I get to camp? I had to find a way to contact Percy... I took off my hat, feeling stupid about the fact that I had left my emergency cell phone in the hotel room and... What the...
A blue box materealized right in front of me, making a whooshing noise. I watched it appear in awe. Suddenly, out of the blue box, a man came out. He looked a bit tired and everything about him looked... odd. He seemed to have gone through a really big hurricane. He looked at me and said;
"Do you know where I can find the nearest fastfood? I'm starving and a salad just won't help."
"Huh... No... Sorry..."
He took a good look at me and I felt uneasy, I probably looked miserable. "Well... Do you want to come find one with me? I'll pay you lunch. I'm The Doctor by the way. What's your name?"
I know it sounded crazy, but I hadn't eat in two whole days, as the incident had happen before breakfast (and it probably showed). I was still really suspiscious about that blue box, but I was so hungry that it came out on its own.
"Annabeth."
