After Hailey killed the kindly one, Athena stood up, she snapped her fingers and said, "well, that old lady sure was crazy, I'm glad she is off the bus now."
All the mortals on the bus looked like they were in a trance, they nodded absentmindedly. Some even muttered about crazy old ladies.
Me and Hannah looked confused, Hailey must have read our expression because she said, "The Mist, it keeps mortals from seeing certain things, Athena just manipulated The Mist. That's the short version."
Jen looked at us and nodded, pretty much."
Me and Hannah shrugged in unison (it's a twin thing).
When we arrived in the desert, all the mortal passengers were already off. It was just me, Hannah, Jen, Lynsy, Hailey, and Athena.
Athena looked at all of us and smiled, "Ancient laws forbid me to help directly, so this is our little secret," she wikend then rushed us off the bus.
Jen sighed, "we're in the Mojave Desert."
I looked at her, "How can you be sure?"
Lynsy looked at me, "her first quest was in the Mojave Desert."
I nodded in understanding.
Hannah's bow appeared in her hands, "I hear something!" she said.
Jen looked startled, she grabbed her bow and looked around.
Lynsy took out two knifes.
I just looked around.
A giant, about 15 feet tall stomped into view, he bellowed, "Demigods! Brothers! We have snacks!"
Two more giants stomped beside the other giant, they were a few feet taller.
Jen shrieked, "Cyclopes!"
The three giants laughed, it was the same laugh I heard in my dream.
Lynsy threw her knife, even though I knew she was scared.
The knife stabbed into the Cyclops's should, he bellowed in rage.
Jen fired a few arrows. But as soon as the arrows hit the Cyclopes, it blew up. It was like bomb arrows.
A Cyclops fell over.
One of the Cyclopes grabbed Hannah, she squirmed with terror.
Jen yelled, "Put her down! NOW!"
Jen shot another arrow at the Cyclops's hand. It dropped Hannah.
When Hannah hit the ground, there was a horrible "CRACK" sound.
Hannah had tears streaming down her face.
Lynsy looked at me. I was just standing there in shock. Not even a bow.
Lynsy also had a few tears running down her face, she yelled, "Do something! Please!"
I finally gathered my senses.
My bow appeared in my hands.
I shot an arrow without thinking. The arrow hit the Cyclops's eye, and I mean right on the pupil.
The Cyclops staggered backwards. Then it turned to dust.
I looked around for Hailey. Just then she flew from the sky. Yes, I mean all of a sudden she flew through the air (more like fell though).
She had her iron sword in her hands. She flew down and stabbed another Cyclops's foot.
The Cyclops cried out in pain and ran off with his other Cyclops friend.
We all rushed to Hannah, she was still laying on the ground crying.
Jen looked at her. Jen shuddered then said, "3 broken bones and a sprung ankle."
I looked at her, "how do you know?"
She glared at me and said, "you know nothing! Apollo is also the god of healing!"
I just said something real stupid like "oh."
After a while, I sighed then said, "We should camp here."
Jen nodded, "anybody got tents?"
I shook my head and put my hands in my pockets, there were two miniature tents in my pocket.
Jen smiled, "looks like your mom sent you two pocket tents."
I smiled then put the tents on the ground, they immediately grew to a full size tent.
Lynsy sighed, "two/three to a tent."
Jen nodded, "Hannah will be in a tent with me so I can heal her during the night."
Lynsy looked at me and Hailey, she said, "looks like I'm with you,"
I blushed.
We all climbed in our tents.
