CLEO POV
Cleo
P.O.V
"This is normal now!" I heard one of the guys say as we were running from a one eyed thing through a rather foggy field of grass. "Not funny, not now." I said almost begging for whoever said that to just shut up for one minute. "Quick he's gaining on us!" I said in distress. (At least I hoped it was a he. It was so dirty it was hard to tell.) The best me and my friends decided to do was run from it. I was the only one with a weapon, but it was useless. It seemed to just pass through the one eyed thing. It looked terrible, like it had never taken a bath. (It did smell) And it was very tall.
Then my shoelace just had to come undone. I tripped and fell, but instead of just simply falling I fell into something, it wasn't just earth, I was sinking. I thought about quicksand, but it wasn't possible because, we were in the middle of a field and before I knew it, I fell into a room. It seemed well decorated, and looked very clean, but no one was in it. Not long after I saw Hannah, tanner, and Lit fall through the ceiling too. Lit's real name wasn't Lit, his real name was Litteon but he really hated that name.
After a while I came to realize that I should probably get up off the floor, but when I tried, a stabbing pain went through my ankle. "Ouch!" I said aloud, while falling back down. "What?" Lit said while getting up and coming over he stood up next to me. "I think I sprained my ankle."
A girl walked around the corner. She looked no older then about sixteen, and she looked horrified when she saw us. "Who are you? What are you doing here? Outsiders are strictly prohibited!" she said almost scared yet angry. "Bro, we fell! The ceiling we couldn't really stop." Tanner said, slightly annoyed. "Ughh the ceiling!? I told them to get that fixed!" She said while turning back around the corner and stomping off. Hannah opened her mouth but before she could say anything the girl came back around the corner with a man "Now look at that, they just fell through the ceiling! You said you fixed it!" The girl said, outraged.
The man walked over and stuck his hand and hit the ceiling and it sunk upwards (If that's possible.) "Oh my…" He said while pulling his hand back through. "Yeah, Oh my! We don't need more people sinking through the roof. Now, fix it!" she said.
The girl walked over and said, "I am so sorry. I thought we had that little issue sorted out. Here, follow me." She said apologetically. "Err, I can't." I told her. "It's not that hard to move."She said. "No really, I can't. I think I sprained my ankle when I fell through the roof." I said while looking down at my ankle. I was flexible, but even so I didn't think my foot was supposed to bend like that. "Oh wow, that looks broken, have you had any ambrosia?" She asked me. "What's ambrosia?" I asked. "You don't know what that is? That's odd, normally a demigod should have some spare ambrosia and nectar in case of broken bones and other injures." She said matter-of-factly. "A demi-what?" Hannah broke in. "Gosh, you really don't know do you?" The girl said. But she shook it off quickly and said, "No matter, follow me." She turned on her heel down a hall. Lit offered to help me up, and using him for support we followed the girl down the hall.
I was clueless as to what this girl was talking about, what was this ambrosia and nectar stuff? This woman must have been hallucinating.
The halls seemed to go everywhere, with lots of turns and shortcuts and stuff like that but this girl seemed to know it all, like it was two plus two. When we stopped, we were in a lounge-like area, with lots of soft chairs
.
"Please take a seat. I need to go get her medicine." She said, while walking out of the room. "What is going on?" Hannah asked, while sitting down. "I don't know anymore then you do." Tanner said. After we sat in silence for a while, the girl came back in with some medicine, which looked like fruit juice.
She handed me a cup full of it with ice cubes in it. I took sip and immediately recoiled at the taste and started coughing because I tried to swallow it fast like regular medicine. But it tasted like pancakes, warm, drenched in syrup, pancakes. I took another sip. The glass was empty in what seemed like barely a second. I felt the pain wash away from my ankle. I felt like I could pick up a car and smash it to dust. "How do you feel?" The lady asked. "Like I don't have a broken ankle anymore." I said grinning stupidly. "Good." She said, smiling "We must get you to camp now. Follow me." She turned on her heel once again and walked out the doorway, while we followed.
Once we stopped, we were outside, looking at a car. "This car will take you there. Get in before it drives off without you." It was strange to be following orders from a stranger, but for some reason I knew this woman could be trusted, besides, where else would we go? "Who are you?" I said as I was about to get into the car "Iris, Goddess of rainbows...worker. In simpler words." She said, smiling and waving goodbye. I smiled back. I thought this woman was crazy though. As I got inside the car I thought 'Gods and Goddesses aren't real. This woman has just gone mad.'
I looked at who was driving, big mistake; You could have said this person was regular if you ignored the fact that he had eyes, everywhere.
Lit planned to get in the front seat but looked at the guy and closed the door almost as soon as he opened it. He hopped in the seat next to me. The driver kept a straight face like he was used to it. Tanner got into the back seat, Hannah was last. She went to sit up front, when she opened the door I could tell she wanted to do the same as lit. But after a second she managed to sit down awkwardly. As soon as everyone was buckled the man started to drive.
I thought about how only a while ago I was in the woods at my make-shift archery range, (That I built) shooting targets as the giant thing with one eye came hurtling toward me with three kids running from it. I stood there in shock looking at the monster; it would have killed me if Lit hadn't grabbed me by my shirt, and made me come to my senses. We had been on the run from it without having anywhere to stop, until my friends and I fell through a roof just a few minutes ago. I looked over at Lit. He was staring out the window, his sandy blonde hair falling in front of his face. He blew it out of his face, but more kept falling back down. His skin was pale. He didn't look like he went outside a lot. I looked over. Tanner was leaning against the door, sleeping. His brown hair was disoriented from being chased and sleeping. And his skin was a bit darker then Lit's. I looked at Hannah in the front seat, most everything about her was a shade of brown. Her curly long hair, her eyes, and her skin. She looked like she wasn't very happy sitting in the front seat though.
