Ranger 51 ~ your welcome! One thing I love more than writing stories is getting a author to use one of them! Don't worry! Lots more are to come!
Annabeth's P.O.V.
I sat at that desk looking over the prophecy; I knew I was overseeing something, but what? Thaila's loud snores snapped me out of my daydreams. It sounded like a gurgle, how could the hunters sleep with that? I got out of my chair and grabbed her arm, I put it over her mouth, it stopped the sound and it looked like she was coughing into her elbow. I smiled satisfied until she started to drool. Really?
I groaned and pulled off a few pillows, I'm sleeping on the ground tonight. It was fine until Grover started muttering about Enchilada's. Together they formed a perfect harmony of torture.
"Enchilada's…..SNORE…..no, give….back…..SNORE….Percy…no...SNORE…No, leave it…no! SNORE!"
I groaned in frustration. I went to Thaila's bag and grabbed two socks, I rolled it into a ball and stuffed it into Grover, and Thaila's mouth…..much better. I lay back down calmly, a good night sleep here I come.
"ANNABETH! WHY IS MY SOCK INSIDE GROVERS MOUTH!"
Thaila screamed at five in the morning, forgot she was an early bird. Crap. After twenty minutes of being shocked merciless as Grover brushed his teeth and tongue we finally got on the road. We took a car that the Stoll brothers were kind enough to…buy… for us. It was a Bugatti Veyron 16.4. I knew enough about cars, I had seen this in a catalogue, wow 1,192,057$ dollars with 1001 horsepower and the top speed of 253.81 miles per hour….I don't even want to know how they….bought it. We zipped out of town faster than possible. Thaila was driving, she got lessons from Apollo when she joined the hunt. Lady Artemis wanted all of her hunters to know how to drive in case of emergency. We zoomed along the highway heading south, the cars around us turned to a blur, and I felt sick. Grover was chewing on a can in worry; Thaila was singing to some song on the radio, this thing had good reception.
"Tell me where our time went, and if it was time well spent."
She sang along to the radio, her voice was slightly higher than the song, I leaned over to Grover.
"She's scaring me."
He mouthed, I nodded eyes wide.
"I can feel the pressure, it's getting closer now!"
She sang bopping her head, I yelped as we swiveled to the left. We turned off and into some small town, we pulled up to an Burger king, Thaila walked up to the line.
"What do you guys want?"
She asked happily.
"Junior whopper."
I said sitting down in a booth, soon Grover and Thaila joined, she had three burgers, two drinks and a coffee. We sat down and started munching. Two girls across the fast food place stared at us, they whispered and got up.
"Remain calm."
I whispered drinking my drink. The two girls sat down with us. The one had Strawberry blonde hair, and a few ginger strands down, she was roughly fourteen. The other was slightly older; my age of fifteen, she had jet black hair and smiled to me.
"Hi! I'm Scottie!"
She said happily, I was tempted to run but I knew that wasn't very wise. Her eyes were a light brown with amber rims, very earthy.
"Hello, I'm Kayden."
She held out her arm to shake, I did, a thin white scar ran from her shoulder to her wrist. I looked at her eyes, they were like mine, grey, but in a lighter shade, like a cloud with the sun behind, light blue flakes were hidden in, like a sunny day. Thaila narrowed her eyes at Kayden, Scottie smiled at Grover.
"Who do you think you are? Sitting with strangers?"
Thaila said looking at Kayden, she looked at Thaila and smiled kindly.
"Well I think I am a demigod who wants to help you, and I think Scottie just wants to grow plants."
She rolled her eyes at Scotties mock anger expression, I was surprised.
"My mother is Persephone."
Scottie said, a little blue flower suddenly sprouted from the burger wrapper. Grover jumped but smiled Scottie giggled, and Thaila shook her head. Kayden looked at me.
"My mother is Iris, I watch the recent calls, my mom doesn't send messages to titans, but I will. Your looking for Percy Jackson, correct?"
She said, I raise an eyebrow, she shrugged. We walked out to the car, and Kayden walked to the other side and closed her eyes, I gave her Drachmae and she tossed it in, a image appeared, I smiled as I saw Percy, but also frowned. I didn't recognize the place, but I could only guess it was the ship. He was standing there all icy, and five hellhounds were around him, one snarled and Percy snapped his eyes too it. I gasped and he saw me with surprise.
"Percy!"
I squeaked, a large black paw suddenly attacked, the message swiveled and Kayden was tossed back. She hit a clump of thick soft grass thanks to Scottie. She blinked a few times and looked at me.
"I was able to trace the call, he's south, South Carolina but heading to Florida."
She said getting up, Thaila closed her hands into fists.
"So he's going to the boat."
She snarled, I said nothing. Scottie reached into her pocket, and drew out some sort of clear thing. She held it to me and I took it. It was a flat stone, with rugged edges. The stone was clear, like glass. I realized it was crystal, and I smiled. Inside the crystal was a single little flower. It was a flower with grey petals, and a hint of blue and brown colors.
"It's a stone Kayden made. If you say 'Kayden and Scottie,' we'll get an IM without pay. My mom made this for me a while ago, we'll be able to track it no madder how far away. If you need help just say."
They smiled Kayden's strawberry curls bounced as she hugged a goodbye.
"Take care."
Scottie said, we were going but Thaila wouldn't move.
"Hey guys, how come you know your half bloods but you aren't dead?"
Thaila asked suspiciously. Scottie giggled.
"Our mothers trained us."
With a flash, Scottie drew out a long bow; it had pictures of roses climbing up the sides. Kayden drew two foot long swords from up her sleeves, they glittered bronze. Thaila smiled and we started on the road, I clutched the stone even closer to my heart.
Hope you like your characters Kayden and Scottie!
