~Conner's POV
Eww! Why would anyone eat at this slop market? I tossed my burger into the trash and walked out. Where can I get some decent food in New York? I looked across the street at the Pizza Hut Jessalyn and I first ate at together. Around the corner was the bowling alley we met at...
Oh, my gods! I know where Jessalyn is! The place that meant most to her is where we first met! I'm a genius. I ran as fast as I could to the bowling alley. They were... Locked. They were supposed to be open! I tried to pick the lock and even when I unlocked it the doors wouldn't budge. There's some magic at work here.
I crawled along the side of the building. I stopped when something really hot burned my back. I jumped away from the building. I touched on either side of the hot spot. Cold...
The hot spot must be where the only place that can break is. They made it really hot so no one would try to break it. Very smart people. Unfortunetly for them, I am Conner Stoll, son of Hermes. I need supplies... Anyone know where I can get a bouldozer?
I tried punching the wall, but just ended probably breaking a finger or two. "Ahh!" I screeched. I shook my hand in pain. This was going to take longer than I thought. I had a shimmer of hope now that I was sure Jessalyn was inside though. How the Hades was I supposed to break the wall though?
I walked down the street to a the Hometown Buffet. I couldn't save Jessalyn on an empty stomach could I? I saw three familiar faces though. Emilina, Jay, and Elle were sitting on a bench right outside. They already spotted me.
"Conner, get your as- butt over here!" Emilina demanded. I dropped my head and walked over.
"Yes?" I said innocently.
"You're not supposed to be here..." She shook her head disappointingly.
"What you found?" Jay asked. Man, was I that transparent?
"I know where Jessalyn is," I admitted. "But she's guarded by magic. I can't get in. Maybe Emilina can help? I mean you're magic girl right?" Emilina nodded.
"Where is she?" Elle asked.
"At the bowling alley down the street," I told them.
"Why is she there?" Emilina asked.
"Because that's where we met, and that's the place that means most to her." I smiled at the memory of the day, then became sad when I remembered she was in trouble.
Emilina nodded understandingly. "Okay, let's go maybe I can break the spell." We walked back to the bowling alley and I didn't even get any food! Emilina inspectedthe building. "I might be able to break it."
"There's a place where the spell is broken," I told her. I led Emilina to the hot spot, leaving Jay and Elle to keep watch. She touched and immediately pulled away. Maybe, I should've told her about that part. Oops! She glared at me. Emilina tapped her chin with her finger.
"This is a really old cantation and very powerful. A very strong force is helping whatever has Jessalyn. I think I break long enough for you to get in and get out. If you don't come out by the time it closes your stuck in there-" A noise cut Emilina off. It was one of those noise you here in cartoons when he power goes out. I touched the wall. It wasn't hot!
I ran to the front door and pulled it open. The spell went down, like a powershortage. I knew it was probably a trap but I went in anyway. It was desserted when I went in. A few piecce of food scraps here and there, a bowling ball stuck in the gutter. Emilina, Jay, and Elle ran up behind me. The door swung shut behind us like in those scary movies, and that same noise but in reverse. The spell was up again, great!
Elle cursed along with Jay, Emilina, and me. "Well, well, well, if it isn't my appetizers! Food delivers fast in New York!" A familiar cyclops stepped from behind a wall. It was Blake! I thought I (meaning Travis) killed him already! He came back from Tarturas fast. "You see every hour the spell goes down then comes back up. A brilliant plan if I do say so myself. But, when it does go down you can only open it not exit." Man, this guy was good. Just then I heard a scream. It was Jessalyn, I just knew it!
I ran past Blake and yanked open a door I heard the scream from. Jessalyn was tied to a chair, and next to her was a male model type dude tied as well. Jessalyn's blue eyes darted up and met mine. They showed longing, hurt, and pain. I ranbehind her and untied the rope.
"What are you doing here?" she asked in a small voice.
"Saving you." I brushed a loose strand of hair behind her ear.
"That doesn't over right-" I cut her off by kissing her. That dude cleared his throat and earned himself a glare. I untied him too. I heard metal clanging outside the room.
"I have to talk to Jessalyn real quick, go help them," I told the dude. I handed him my dagger, because he looked weaponless. He sighed, nodded, and left.
"Make it quick, I don't like excuses," Jessalyn demanded.
"I didn't kiss Drew, the girl you saw, she's a one of the children of Aphrodite who can charmspeak people, which means she can like influence people. She forced me to kiss her," I explained.
"Really?" she asked hopefully. I nodded. She threw her arms around me and me the same to her. "I'm sorry."
"Why?" I buried my face in her hair.
"For not trusting you." I heard a screech.
"We have to help," I said. She nodded and we ran out.
