Chapter 14: We Pay a Visit to Luke's House
Paul finally woke up after about like 2 hours.
"What's going on?" he whispered.
Grover replied, "You're in the back of the car, sleeping."
"AHHH!" Paul screamed as he got up. "You're th...that...sa-tire! Or something..."
"That's satyr," Grover snapped. "Thank you very much.
"Oh...My head hurts." Paul said.
I kinda felt sorry for Paul. I was thinking about the best way to cheer him up when my mom brought the car to a stop.
"We're here," she announced.
"Remind me again..." Annabeth said, annoyed that I didn't tell her where we were going, "Where is here? It's just an ordinary mortal house."
"Ah...but that's where you're wrong, Annabeth." It's not just an ORDINARY mortal house. It's LUKE's mortal house."
"Your point?" Annabeth asked.
"Well, Mrs. Castellan may know about Luke's weaknesses, so we can defeat him."
"Er...hate you break it to you," Annabeth said, "But um...Mrs. Castellan may know Luke's weaknesses, but probably not Kronos', and we could have probably gotten better information if we had asked Hermes."
Dammit. Why did she always have to make sense?
"Dammit Annabeth, why can't you make sense for once? We might find out some valuable information from this trip!"
I winked at her.
"Yeah, fine," she said.
Haha! She got lured, big time.
Grover rolled his eyes at me and told me, using the empathy link, "Just ask her out already, Percy!"
"I will..." I complained, "in the near future, in the far near future....eventually."
Grover sighed.
"Well, let's go."
Everyone, including my mom and Paul followed. I was hesitating at the door for a moment, thinking about what kind of person Mrs. Castellan might be, but, it was too late to turn back now. Nice or mean, loyal to Kronos, or not, I would find out here. I did the only I could do.
I pressed the doorbell.
