Kiara POV
Thalia was breaking the speed limit by 20 bazzillion miles per hour. We were sooo late! By the clock on the dashboard (Which I could barely read because every little bump in the road was amplified to a skateboard jump because of our freakishly high velocity. That wasn't nerdy at all!) read something like 4:45. The wedding was starting right now! Thalia slammed on the brakes and a speed bump sent us flying. Nico grabbed me and Thalia by the shoulders and shadow traveled us and the car to the ground before we made contact with the asphalt. Nico sighed, "You know, that would have been a lot faster and less life threatening if I'd just shadow traveled us here, like I suggested earlier."
"Ya," I said, ever so logically "but that was more fun."
"You two have a weird definition of 'fun.'" Nico sighed and opened the car door. We got out of our little black car and entered the church where the wedding was to be held. When we entered, I found that I had read the clock wrong. We where 10 minutes early. Percy and Annabeth stood there greeting people. The took one look at the three of us, Thalia and I in perfect condition and Nico looking like he just got mobbed by a crowd of angry 7-year-olds, and said at the same time to me and Thalia, "Have you two been speeding again?"
"We thought-" Thalia started, but I cut her off.
"Rock music has taught me well" I said, and walked into the sanctuary.
Smooth. Sekhmet said.
It's true. I told her. Then, something caught my eye. Or more someone. An Emo boy sitting in the very farthest back pew that had black hair with purple tips and a leather jacket.
We'll have to introduce that kid to you're friend, Nico. Sekhmet told me.
Great minds think alike! I told the goddess living in my head.
I'm going to bring Sekhmet in and have her have actual conversations with Kiara so that she's not just an excuse for Kiara's immaturity.
