(AN) Sorry about the super late update, my brother wouldn't let me use his computer so… SORRY! I think this may be the last chapter and then go onto my profile to vote on which story I should continue, READ MY JOURNAL ONE FIRST THOUGH!
The hawk just looked at me for a moment, then screeched his head off. "SHUT UP!" I screamed...he did. "Thank you," I said, "Now, let's get started." The hawk stared at me for about a minute and I stood perfectly still. He nodded his head, as if in approval, and started flying. I looked at my silvery wings and sighed, remembering my time with the bats. If it went the same way this time, than this was going to be a really long day. _
After about an hour or two I was completely pooped. I could at least fly using my silver wings, but not exactly well. I could use them just as well as the bat wings, but I still sucked... BAD. But I really needed to get going if didn't want the School to find me. I stood up and jumped off the side of the cliff and spread my wings. With Crystal following behind me.
Do you know how amazing it feels to have the wind run through your wings? Probably not... I'll describe it to you then. Imagine jumping off a cliff, no, scratch that, imagine being pushed off a cliff, almost falling to your death, and then suddenly being lifted up and carried away. Now imagine looking beside you to see that you were controlling it all along! Amazing right? (AN: YOU MAY ANSWER NOW)
So anyway, I rode the winds looking for a good place to land when suddenly, I saw a tiny little store. I flew down and looked at the sign, it said, "Crusty's Water Bed Palace" then put my jacket on over my wings before going inside. A man came over to me, "Hello young demi- I mean lady." He said. Demi- what? I thought. "Would you like to try one of my famous water beds?" he said. I looked at his name tag, it said "Hi, my name is: Crusty" he kind of creeped me out… Okay, he really creeped me out, so I said, "Oh no, that's okay, I'm just browsing. Thanks anyway though."
He laughed and took my hand, trying to lead me over to a bed. But suddenly, someone bust through the window. I couldn't see his face, but I knew that I would make sure I did. He was wearing full armor and had a helmet on, and a mask, so it was impossible to see his face. "Sorry Procrustes, but this is not your job anymore." He said, his voice was kind of high pitched for a guy but... He pulled out a bronze knife from his pocket then came at 'Procrustes' and caught him off guard, soon enough, Procrustes was pushed onto a water bed, and the other guy had his knife to his throat. "ERGO!" he screamed and ropes appeared on the sides of the water bed and then wrapped around Procrustes. The other guy tapped his chin, "Hmm, now, I think you're a little too tall for this bed don't you think? Just a little sizing will do, let's see, here" he said, cutting off one of Procrustes' legs, "Here," he cut off the other one and headed for the other end of the bed, "And lastly, here." And with that, he cut off Procrustes' head and the entire man turned to golden dust.
He took off his mask, helmet and armor to reveal that he, was actually a she. "What…The…POOP." I said under my breath. She was beautiful. She had long curly blonde hair and her grey eyes were intimidating. She wore and orange t-shirt that said CHB on it with a Pegasus. She held out her hand to me and said, "Hi, my name's Annabeth, who are you?" "I...I'm Jessica" I replied, stuttering a little. "Well, Jessica, nice to meet you, I better get going, see ya!" and with that, she left, no explanation, no nothing. I sighed and sat down on a water bed, trying to comprehend what the heck just happened. But of course, it didn't work.
Thanks for reading guys, remember to vote!
