Whoa, look I'm back! Thank you everyone for the great reviews!
Sorrrrrry! I have been so busy with school and sports! I need to keep on track with my writing!
I own nothing… sadface…
Luke walked into the kitchen, looking angry like he was mostly arguing with Hermes.
"We can stay her for the night. Mom took some sleeping pills to keep her down until morning. We will move on to camp tomorrow. Hermes is sending a satyr to escort us to camp. Unless Percy," Luke looked at me, "You feel uncomfortable with staying here, we can leave now."
I shook my head, "It's fine to stay here."
"Thaila, you and Annabeth can have the guest bedroom down here, Percy and I will sleep in my room."
"Can we just all sleep in the living room?" Annabeth asked, "Just in case?"
Luke nodded, and I felt better about the four of us being together tonight. I know Luke said May had enough pills to keep her sleep, but when you're a demigod, sometimes you're not quite that lucky.
It was still daylight out so I dragged Annabeth with me outside.
"Annabeth and I are going outside!" I called.
"Be back before its dark!" Thaila called, like a mother.
We sat so we could still see the house, but hopefully Luke and Thaila couldn't see us. I don't want them to know about the vision.
"Ok Seaweed Brain, what happened back there?" Annabeth asked frowning.
"Well, it was really weird. You heard what she screamed right?"
Annabeth shook her head. "She didn't say anything. She grabbed you and just began to scream incoherently.
"That's strange. Something or someone didn't want you guys to hear what see said then. She screamed, 'Save my son! Save him from his terrible fate! You are the only one that can Peruses Jackson!'"
"Is that all she said?"
I shook my head and explained the vision, everything thing down to the part where it seemed like Luke betrayed us.
Annabeth had tears in her eyes, "That can't really happen right? How could out little family fall apart like that."
"I don't know Annabeth, but I'm not going to let it happen," I said hugging her, "I promise."
"Well, there's stuff for peanut butter sandwiches and cookies and cold cuts." Luke said searching the kitchen for something to eat.
"Cookies for supper is cool with me," I said immediately.
"Seaweed Brain!" Annabeth laughed.
"What!" I defended myself, "I like cookies!"
That just made the others burst into laughter.
"Fine then, I'll have cookies for supper and I'm not sharing," I said.
Annabeth gave me a mock glare, "You sure about that?"
I knew she was kidding, but even the mock glare was scary. I gulped.
"No cookies then…"
"Seaweed Brain," she laughed again and punched my arm.
"Ow!" I said, feigning hurt.
"Suck it up kid," Thaila said, smiling, "Annabeth is only going to get stronger, and you're only going to have a few more bruises."
I did the mature thing and stuck my tongue out at her, "Shut up."
Before she could make a comment, we surprise visitor appeared in the kitchen.
"Hello, Heroes." She said.
She only looked to be about 8 or 9, but after running into Artemis I knew better. She had mousey brown hair, and a brown dress. Her eyes were a warm and cozy flame color. In the living room the fireplace blazed to life.
"Lady Hestia," Annabeth said, clearly recognizing the goddess of the hearth.
"Daughter of Athena," she said acknowledging Annabeth. She turned to Luke and Thaila, "Son of Hermes, Daughter of Zeus."
"Lady Hestia," They both replied.
Then she turned to me, "And Perseus Jackson, Son of Poseidon."
"Lady Hestia," I said to my patron.
"Sit, and lets feast like gods tonight."
She waved her hand and a full course meal appeared on the table.
"Thank you, Lady Hestia," we all said.
"Now, there are a few things I would like to discuss with the four of you," Hestia began.
We nodded, allowing her to continue.
"As Percy's patron, it is my job to see Percy makes it to camp alive. And it is also part of my duty, as the goddess of the hearth and home, to make sure Percy sees his mother before going to camp."
Before any of us could make a comment she went on.
"And, as Hermes said earlier, you will run into a satyr that will take you to camp. Once you reach New York City, Percy will go to his mother, and the rest of you will stay in a hotel for the night, and then travel to camp. Percy will stay with his mother until it is time for her to go home. Apollo will be in the hospital to make sure there are no monster attacks."
I was stunned. I really do get to see my mother again. I thought I might never see her again.
"Yes! Lady Hestia please! How much longer before we reach New York?" I immediately jumped at the opportunity to visit my mother.
"That all depends on you four," Hestia said ominously, "A satyr is coming to help lead you in the right direction, but many hardships are in your future. It could be anywhere from a week, to 3 weeks. Good Luck heroes." With that she disappeared.
"What-" I started to say but Annabeth cut me off.
"She means we have to work as a team. We have to know everyone strengths and weakness, we need to work and fight as one unit and not four individuals."
"I think it's time we learn a little more about each other. Tomorrow we can learn how each other fights to make fight monsters easier." Thaila said.
Luke grimaced slightly, "Story time," he said grimly.
Reviews would be nice(:
