Chapter Nine:

As I came out of my insane little trance I saw Grover handing Percy his little business card that had all his info on it…even his occupation as a Keeper…our address…etc.

Percy read it and then practically shouted "What's Half-blood-"

"HUSH!!!!!!!!" I yelled. After having a encounter randomly with a god, you never know who could be listening.

"That's our summer address." Grover explained.

Percy looked at me and I fell into his beautiful green eyes. I'm falling….

"You live here too."

I could barely nod. I swear once I got back to Camp I was so going to begin building our castle.

"Why would I call on you guys?" he asked harshly.

To check up on your castle…Duh!!!

But Grover's ideas didn't involve any architecture.

"I have to protect you." He blurted, blushing all the way down to his hooves.

I rolled my eyes. Grover if we didn't have witnesses around…..

He turned to me again. He heard my need for his attention!!! "Do you need to protect me too??"

What was I supposed to say…that I was stalking him? I don't think so. "Kind of."

Percy stared at him. "What...what are you protecting me from???" he stammered.

Then a jolt shook the bus and a terrible smell hit my nose that gave me a headache again. Darn relapses!!!

The bus driver swore and climbed down from his lofty chair.

We had broken down smack in the middle of flipping nowhere.

Darn Fate.

Funny how sometimes, even though I don't necessarily have a clairvoyant moment, I seem to know what's going to happen in the future.

Sorry the chapters are becoming so short and all but I've been super swamped. I'm also caught up in another fanfic that I'm going to be posting soon and I prefer to keep updating on this one in little bits then stop writing it altogether. I promise though, I'll update big sometime soon.

Luv ya,
