AN:Sorry for not updating guys. I got a cold. Then after i was almost completely healed, I got a fever. Apparently life hates me. Then yesterday, I was at the library and they tell me that i still have Ruins of Gorlan out. I was pretty angry because I had just seen that book at my friend's house! Then the lady renews it under my name! Then they proceed to tell me I have The siege of Macindaw out. Which at that I walked over to a bookshelf and grabbed that book. she tells me "Oh! well, I wonder why it says it's checked out"? After I was safely out of earshot and into the car, I might have muttered insults at them one of them being "Got books still checked out my foot. "Your just bad". Anyways, I'm sorry for my ranting you didn't come to read this. So without further ado,(Percy:Wait for it... Me: Percy shut up!) The story!
Alexa stepped out of the Big House to go pack. She had been told to meet Hera at the beach tonight at midnight. Needless to say, she was still a little grumpy.She stepped inside and grabbed her backpack from under her bunk and proceeded to fill with a spare change of clothes, ambrosia, a little nectar, and anything else a modern demigod could need(see what I did there? No? Well I'll explain later.). Alexa slipped her camo colored bakpack under her bunk and headed out side to fill the day with training. Also to try and block the nervousness that was twisting her stomach into knots.
Me: Percy get out there! distract them somehow I need to get the next paragraph ready! Percy:Me! What do I do?! Me: I don't know just distract them! Leo: Percy you got to do it like this! *starts dancing and singing* "Hello! I am a timeskip and my name is Leo"! Percy and Me: *glances at eachother before slowly and quietly slipping out of the room*
Alexa glanced at the form of her sleeping half brother in the bunk next making sure he was asleep to her before starting to slip out of her bed. She paused and winced when the bed gave what sounded to her like roaring groan, when in reality was actually a quite creak. Alexa quickly glanced at Percy before continuing. She let out a small sigh of relief when she made it off the bed without any further noises. Alexa grabbed her backpack and swinged over one shoulder before slipping out of the cabin. She checked the sky for any harpies before continuing on her way to the beach.
Once she got there, she checked for Hera and found no sign of her. Alexa stepped further into the open and closed her eyes listening to the sound of the waves. "Are you ready"? Alexa jumped into the air and turned around and relaxed a bit seeing it was only Hera. But only a little bit. "Hi Lady Hera" Alexa greeted. Hera ignored the greeting which some part of Alexa's mind thought was rude. "Are you ready"? she asked again. "Yes" Alexa told her adjusting the backpack's strap on her shoulder. "I wouldn't be here if I wasn't" She thought to herself but refrained from saying it out loud. "Prepare yourself" Hera warned. "I already am-" Alexa didn't get the chance to finish the thought before everything went black.
AN:So the reference I made up there was to the Son of Neptune in the beginning of the book. Again Sorry for not updating. But I have an idea for the next chapter so it shouldn't take as long. Key word there shouldn't. Anyways I have to say goodbye because my time on the computer ended a while ago. So, Bye!
