Faith Pulsey Chapter 3

We Start the Quest

(Faith)

A girl walked over she was wearing black and purple like all the Hades girls did. She must be a child of Hades. Duh! She stood right in front of me and crossed her arms and said, "You must be Faith Pulsey, daughter of Zeus. I'm Heather daughter of Hades. I really don't care for this place. I also heard that the Roman Gods want to take over. Personally I'm rooting for Jupiter. No hard feelings or anything. I'm leaving this place as soon as Argus gets back from New Jersey. Well I might leave before then, but here's a hint. From what I heard is if you go to Hepheastus he'll give you a weapon. Ares gave it to him, but he tested it out. There isn't anything dangerous in the weapon. Oh, and the weapon is a shield that transforms into a breastplate. It will be in the middle of Ares place in Michigan. Hephaestus wants someone to take it to Hades. Hades wants something that Hephaestus put in there. Here is a map to Persephone's pearls. I found it in the Poseidon Cabin. Good luck." She walks away.

Danielle, Logan, and I had an early lunch. Today we were going on a quest. We would leave at noon. Danielle and Logan were staring at each other intently. I think I was about to throw up. Then the clock stroke 11:00 A.M. I went to grab my duffel bag. I was prepared for the quest. The Athena, Hephaestus, and Hermes kids helped me out. I put my acorn in my pocket. Then I walk out of the Zeus Cabin Almost running into Sage and Skye. Skye and Sage smile simultaneously say, "Good luck Faith. It's Faith that you survive! Good one!"

I head towards the bottom of Camp Half-Blood Hill. I was really early, but better earlier than later. I sat on the grass and fiddled with a twig. I thought about my mother. I wondered if she was okay. Of course she was she kicked my gross step-father out. Will I ever see my mother again? All of these were good questions. Then I wondered if I would ever meet my father. If so, what would he be like? Would he like me? I looked at my watch it was 11:15. Only 45 minutes left. I was getting anxious. I started to fidget with my acorn. I wondered if I would ever see this place again, or if I would even survive the quest. Where in the world could the Trident be? Danielle walked up arm and arm with Logan and said, "It is almost time for the quest. Are you by any chance a little bit nervous?

I hadn't really thought of that before but I was. I quietly say, "Well, a little bit nervous. A lot nervous. What about you? Are you nervous?"

"Well, yeah. I mean this is my first quest. At least I have my macho Logie Wogie to protect me…" Danielle said.

I watch them kiss each other. I had a blank expression on my face. The kiss lasted for 40 minutes. The whole time they made a smooching sound with there lips and started to moan. Then they fell over, but didn't care, they just kept kissing and moaning and rolling around. Finally Argus got there and they stopped kissing and got in the van. He would take us as far as the New Jersey border. Then we were on our own. I heard giggling and whispering and then I heard Logan say, "This is so exiting!" Then the giggling and moaning continued. I sat in the front and they sat in the very back. I could have sworn I saw a penis, but it might have been a thumb.

When we got out of the van right outside the New Jersey Border, Danielle and Logan's hair was really messy. That was weird if you ask me. We traveled towards the nearest famous forest. I noticed that Danielle's stomach had gotten slightly bigger since when I first saw her. We traveled to Stokes State Forest. We had to take a rest right outside the forest, because Danielle insisted. Something was strange between the two of them. They seemed closer. After a 10 minute break we traveled the forest. It was 5:15 P.M. So we decided to make a campsite and have dinner. Logan went to go get some wood, rocks and dead grass. Then I took a still frozen Fillet out of my duffel bag. I started to cook it while Danielle made a place to eat and helped Logan set-up the tent. Then Danielle put the sleeping bags in the tent. We ate the steak together and killed the fire. Then we decided to go to sleep. The tent was triangular, so a sleeping bag was on each side. I fell asleep and had another dream.

This was my dream. 'I was frozen, meaning I couldn't move. I saw a couple giant people. One of which looked strangely like me. Only then did I realize it was my father Zeus. The other giant skin was wet, but his clothes weren't. That must have been Poseidon. Poseidon said, "I want the trident back by the end of the year. It is December tenth now. Now if you know what's good for you, you might as well tell your daughter to bring the bolt now."

Zeus looked threatened. He got a sour frown on his face. Then he simply yelled, "I didn't steel it and neither did Faith. She has only known for a week okay?" Zeus was holding his master bolt, and lightning shot through the air all around them. Poseidon looked angry and so did Zeus. I knew they dispysed each other, but really how could Poseidon accuse my father and I without proof. Right now I was angry at Poseidon. Even though it would be no use, I wanted to stab him in the heart 13 times. Poseidon then said, "If the trident isn't in the throne room by New Years at Midnight I will expect a war from you!"

Zeus grabbed Poseidon's Hawaii t-shirt and said, "If you touch my daughter, you will surely pay the price of your actions." Yeah, go Dad!' Then I was awoken by Logan.

Logan said, "Thank you so much for bringing Danielle. I owe you so much. She is going to have a baby you know. She is 6 months. I'm the father." I couldn't speak, I was so astonished.
