IM ALIVE! And as the Unwritten Law of Fan Fiction, I have to continue my story. So far I'm the only one writing *chough* SMILEY *chough**chough* but I have no idea whether you guys like my style of writing or you totally despise it. So please REVIEW. It would mean a lot to me since I'm ditching my homework to write.
But enough with the self-pity! Let the chapter begin!
"You didn't answer my question"
I looked over at Aura who was calmly flipping pages of a magazine, trying her best to ignore me. The train compartment was plain but surprisingly comfortable. In the window I could see New York flying by and Manhattan looming in the distance. The scenery would be stunning if I wasn't trying to grill information out of the current demonic spawn in front of me.
I grit my teeth "what is camp half-blood?"
She flipped her page "that's where were going" she stated matter-of-factly.
I gave her a droll stare like, no duh. "Then why are you taking me there? And why did we get attacked in Cambridge?"
She rolled her eyes at the magazine "it was Fairview not Cambridge"
"I don't care!" I snapped "I want to know why I'm getting attacked by monsters every turn!"
She looked up and raised an eyebrow "any other questions" she asked dryly
I stared at her for a long time and whispered "you aren't human are you?"
At this she smirked "it wasn't obvious?"
I thought about all the times she got us out of trouble. She kept doing that magic thing; she made other people see things that weren't there, like when we were in the hotel. I could have sworn that was my house she had me going right until the point when the mist curtain melted. And yet, other than the fact that she was Chuck Norris with a knife she looked like an average Asian fourteen year old girl. With an attitude of course.
I regarded her for a second "nope" I put my hands behind my head in a nonchalant expression "you had us all fooled" I paused for a second "until you started brainwashing innocents" there was an accusing note in my voice, I didn't like how she completely mind wiped the people around us. No matter how much it saves our lives in the process.
She shrugged and leaned back in her seat "it was for their own good"
I snorted "that's what you said about the evil salesman in Cleveland, and look where he is now, he forgot everything and he lives in a group home, trying to remember his name"
She glared at me "trust me that was the best I could for him, anyway he was a special case. I never seen anything like him"
This perked my interest "what do you mean you never seen anything like him?"
She sighed like she was talking to a three year old "what I mean is that isn't the norm. That type of monster shouldn't be able to possess mortals, there much too weak for that"
"Then what is the norm!" I asked, exasperated beyond measure. "You can't expect me to understand this stuff if you don't tell me what's going ON!" I was nearly yelling now. I was tired of secrets. My life was thrown into chaos, monster possessing humans were after me, and for whatever reason the only person who knows what the heck was going on wont tell me since I'm obviously so much safer an idiot.
She laughed and put her magazine down "I'll spare you the repetition. And the third degree murder. I'm here to make sure you get to camp half-blood safely-"
I laugh sarcastically "you burned down my school by setting the teachers on fire! Don't go preaching to me about safety"
She waved dismissively "details. Besides it not my fault all three of your teachers were fur- ah, the kindly ones"
That pulled me up short "wait, what did you say?"
"Your teachers? The ones that attacked you with huge wings and claws? Yeah, they came from the darkest, deepest pits of the underworld to be your personal doom" she flashed me a large sarcastic grin "isn't that wonderful?!"
I looked at her in disbelief, wondering when she got insane "the underworld? Like, in Greek myths?"
"Yes" she paused "although it's kind of unique that all three of them will come after you. The only time that ever happened was when they went after Thalia" she looked at me and muttered, bemused "you must be either really special or incredibly dangerous to get that kind of attention"
I held my hands in surrender "trust me, I'm not. I'm just a normal inner city kid from Columbus, Ohio"
She was laughing before I was done "yeah right and you really think I'll believe that?" she snorted "just face it Jared Fuse, you're not human either"
Hahahaha! Cliff hanger! I always wanted to do one of those. Well anyway the only way you can make me write faster is if you all review, review, review. And a little shout out to Smiley. Girl, you better write something and soon. The world is watching!
Until next time
