Chapter 7- A Run in with Harpies
Flora and Beck continued to wander aimlessly through the museum. They then stopped at a map on the wall with a red star on it saying 'You are here' on the second floor.
"Let's see," Flora began. "We've checked the entire first floor, the resonance gallery, the automobiles threw out time exhibit, and the dinosaurs-"
"Now that last stop was worth it," Beck interrupted, while smiling.
"But we still haven't found the groups," Flora pointed out.
"Maybe there in the Ancient Greek and Roman exhibit. That's why we came here, isn't it?" Beck asked simply.
"That's brilliant Beck!" Flora smiled while placing a her hand on his shoulder.
Beck smiled back. Flora began to study the map. On it, it showed three floors. As Flora looked over the map, Beck then heard a man's voice in his head. It was stern yet affectionate. Beck put his hand on his head for the voice was also loud and powerful.
"You are in danger boy….Grab your step sister and head to the Ancient Weapons exhibit. You'll both be safe there, and someone awaits there for you….Now go!"
Beck groaned. "What was that…?"
"That can't be right!" Flora exclaimed.
Beck turned to look at his step sister; startled by her sudden outburst.
"What's the matter?" he asked urgently.
"The Greek and Roman exhibit is supposed to be here, on the third floor," Flora said while pointing to the place on the map.
"So?"
"Look at what it says on the map!"
Beck had to squint his eyes for the writing on the map was small. But when he looked at where Flora was pointing on the map. His jaw dropped.
"There's nothing there! Why would the map say that nothing's there; when that's the only place in the museum it can be?!" Beck asked astounded.
'You are in danger boy….Grab your step sister and head to the Ancient Weapons exhibit. You'll be safe there and someone awaits there for you…Now go!'
Beck blinked when he remembered the man's voice. He shook his head.
"I'll have to worry about that man's voice being in my head later," Beck told himself.
Beck then grabbed Flora's hand. "Flora! We've got to get to the Ancient Weapons exhibit now!"
"Beck, this isn't the time to go and stare goggley eyed at weapons from the past. We need to find out what's going on. This is serious," Flora scolded him.
"But this is important! Something's telling me that something bad is going to happen. And that we need to go there to avoid it!" Beck argued. "Don't you trust me?"
Flora stared at Beck, she hesitated a moment, before nodding. "I trust you Beck."
"Well, well, isn't that sweet," came a female's voice from behind.
The two turned around to see the tour guide lady, and the two female security guards on both of her sides.
"Give us Cupid's Arrows demigod," said the guard, with the short orange hair.
"Cupid's Arrows? What are you talking about?" Flora asked confused. 'Not the demigod thing again!'
"Seems like the demigod is lying to us," said the other security woman.
"No, really. I don't know what you're talking about," Flora said.
The tour guide sighed. "Oh dear. It seems you're playing hard to get. And here I thought you'd cooperate. Tell me young demigods, do you know what we are?"
"Demigods…?" Flora and Beck said in unison.
"Yes. Demigods. Now answer the question. Do you know what we are?" repeated the tour guide.
The two shook their heads.
"Here's a little hint," smirked the security woman with spiky blue hair.
The two watched in horror as the three women clothes became body suits, their hands turned into claws; their feet into talons, and feathers came out of their arms. Each one of them had different colored feathers. The blue spiky haired one had dark purple feathers. While the one with short orange hair had green feathers. And finally the one with red hair had light blue feathers.
"Harpies…." Flora said shocked.
"Oh my gawd," Beck said shocked.
"That's right~! We're the harpy sisters. The one with orange hair is Keraino. The other one with spiky blue hair is Ocupete. And I'm Airo," the red head smiled.
"And we're only going to ask you nicely one more time, to give us Cupid's Arrows," said Keraino.
"I'm telling you! I don't have them!" Flora exclaimed.
"Nice try, Arrow Thief. But we won't fall for your lies," Ocupete smirked.
Ocupete then launched herself at Flora and Beck. The two got out of the way at the last minute, leaving Ocupete to hit the wall. The two then took off running in the same direction.
A/N: Well, there you have it. Chapter 7 to the Chosen One~! Anyway, I did the 'hearing your godly parent's voice in your head thing' like from the movie. Also, I'm sorry if I made Beck's godly parent seem OoC, if you managed to guess who he is. If not, you're just going to have to wait. By the way, I decided to make the story take a bit of a different route. So the Roman Camp won't be introduced until the squeal. Yes. There will be a squeal, for I already got a lot planned with this story. To where it has to be split into two. So yeah….Well, I hope you enjoyed the chapter~! Until next time! Bye~!
