AN: Hi guys! I finished Blood of Olympus! IT IS LITERALLY THE BEST THING EVER! And I got a Camp Jupiter t-shirt :) And I'm a year older now :) I'm not putting any spoilers in here for a couple more weeks for those of you who haven't finished. There was just one problem with the book: IT HAD TO FRIGGIN END! Anyways, here you go! And I'm sorry that it's on the shorter side, but the next few should be a little longer.
Disclaimer: I own nothing! Except Abby's character.
Sadie's POV:
We walked through the remains of downtown Detroit, dodging steaming debris. After asking around, we found our way to the museum. It was pretty easy to find the egyptian section. Most museums have one.
I found an obelisk, even though I didn't need one for a portal anymore. I had a feeling that would need to save some energy for later. I guess the nectar and ambrosia the demigods had brought would've worked, but I wanted to save some. We had all had some last night after battling the giant.
"Montpelier, right?" I asked.
They all nodded. I concentrated, and soon a swirling vortex opened up in front of us. We walked in one by one.
It was snowing. What else is new? Percy and Annabeth should've set a more specific rendezvous. Montpellier wasn't exactly small. We decided to wander around and try not to torch another city. I had done enough of that in my life. Vermont had apparently suffered from a massive snow storm, as it was hard to walk through the thick white powder.
"How come we never knew it would snow this much?" Percy demanded. "We would've worn different shoes." He pointed to his soaking wet sneakers.
"Ha, ha." I smirked, my combat boots working as good as snowboots. Did I ever mention that I am excellent at driving people, or anything with ears, sky goddess? See? I just got Nut ticked off at me.
"You know, Anubis is still working on the 'Closing of the Mouth' ceremony." Walt, who was just as annoyingly gorgeous as Anubis always was, shoved me into the snow playfully, getting my whole outfit soaking wet and freezing. "Oh gods, Sadie, I didn't mean to push you that much."
I shoved him back and soon, we were in a full snowball fight. Frank and Hazel dodged balls of snow while trying to form new ones. Percy tackled Annabeth into the snow, laughing like a little kid. Felix would've liked it here right now. I knelt down to grab some more snow, but Walt shoved me down first. My head hit a fluffy pile of powder.
"No fair! I was out of snowballs!" I protested, but I smiled as he wrapped his arms around me.
"Face it, I won the fight."
"I'm not going to give up that easily." I lowered his head down to kiss me. He went along, happily.
"Er- am I interrupting anything?" Carter stood over us with the other half of our (what do you call a group of twelve people?) He smiled as if the flustered look on both of our faces amused him. I scowled at him.
"Sorry." Walt stood up, brushing snow off of his jacket. I followed his lead. "But if you're going to yell at someone, yell at them." I gestured towards Percy and Annabeth who were now lying on the ground like Walt and I were, but their attempt at eating each other's spit was way grosser.
"What did we do?" Annabeth looked up.
"Forget it. Let's just go." We all agreed.
A few minutes later, we were sitting in a cafe eating muffins and drinking hot chocolate. It was hard to believe that just last year I would've been doing the same thing in London with my mates, Liz and Emma. I was glad to be inside, I was shivering, as was half of our companions. We traded stories, and discussed what to do next.
"Walt, where to?" Frank asked.
"Hold on." He concentrated, communicating with Anubis, who, if I lowered my vision into the Duat still looked annoyingly gorgeous. After a while, Walt's eyes widened.
"Where is he?" I asked. Finally, I noticed half of our group was starring behind me. I turned my head to look as well.
"Right here." Setne smirked, as his army of demons pointed their weapons at our throats.
*Cue dramatic music* Anyways, I just realized that this is an AN at the end of one of my chapters! I practically NEVER have these, but I wanted to make a quick announcement: For those of you who don't know, Amber Ember7 and I are holding a Blood of Olympus contest. It's mostly a what-happened-in-Albania contest, but I chose another prompt that you can choose as well. If you're interested in entering, you'll find the details on a story I have called "Blood of Olympus Contest". Hope you can enter!
