Chapter 11
"Well... Saw this coming." Luna pulled the blanket up over the two sleeping demigods, passed out after snuggling together and whatever the hell had happened. And when Luna tried to think of anything they did, it was rated R for so many reasons, Luna would have to extensive therapy later. Making sure not to wake the fully clothed boys from there sweet slumber, she silently made her way over to a seat and opened her laptop. Her companion sat in a chair, sipping a Coke and reading... Or at least pretending to as she brooded over the fact her favorite laying spot was being used.
"So, what we gunna tell 'em?" Alex asked, not even bothering to look up from her book.
"A well constructed lie, I suppose." As fingers flew over the keyboard like a whirlwind, speaking calmly and patiently as she typed. "Our sister was a Demigod, we made this place for her and her friends and people like her, she joined Kronos and died trying to navigate the Labyrinth. I honestly don't care." Looking up from her screen and stares at Alex, gold eyes hard and cold with seriousness. " It's not like they will meet us again."
Alex looked up from her book, her emerald eyes glinting with the knowledge of a thousand worlds and all their secrets, almost looking like a human bound Athena. "And yet you don't seem to like the idea of lying to them about who we are and what there fate will be?"
Luna stopped typing, her face turning grave and stripped of all expression. "It is not our job to say, sister... No matter what."
Alex sighed, setting the book on her lap so that she could make her page without folding he corner. "And what about the satyr and the cyclops? What we tell them?"
"We found them passed out in Snog Ally and took them to the hotel across the street."
"And the mother?"
Luna narrowed her eyes, a twinge of guilt and sudden envy just barely visible under the blank mask of her face. "Nothing. Nothing at all." Then her fingers typed even faster, words forming across the dull white screen faster than a cheetah.
Alex nodded, going back to her book that was eagerly awaiting her return. "Think this game will last? Us lying and messing with the lives that have already been mapped out?"
Luna's hands paused again, but only for a moment, as she remembered that this was just a game to her companion. Luna held this in a totally different light. "... Hopefully." She looked over her screen and looked at the two sleeping boys, their peaceful smiling faces filled with serenity, unaware of what lay before them in the years to come. "I really hope so."
Alex was unsurprised by this answer, as she looked at the clock on her IPhone. It was 5:57 AM. "Is it bad we didn't sleep yet?"
"Nope." Alex shot her sister a questioning look, that Luna didn't notice because she had resumed typing something mysterious on her laptop.
"Why?"
"Because," Luna stated as she pressed the last key, a smile prying at the side of her lips. "this was the inspiration I needed." Turning her computer towards Alex, her green eyes widened as she read the countless chapters that had been written during there conversations.
"Is it almost done?" Alex asked?
"Nope." Luna stated. " So let's just be insomniacs tonight while I work and you move the bodies to the hotel room."
Alex groaned, slumping and molding herself into the chair. "I hate this job."
