Hola! como estas? So, next weekend I may not have enough chapters to post because school is ending and it is throwing off my schedule. So do da macarena! i'm gonna go try and replicate Rachel's hairbrush throw with my brother. Bye.

Chapter 18 - NOOOOOOOOOOOO

The minute she pulled the lightning bolt out of the bag I knew we were doomed.

"Why, what is this?" asked Alexandra.

I stared in horror, "It- it is Z- my uncle's thing." I said. I did not want to catch any attention from the gods.

"You mean z-humph" the last part was because I launched myself at her and covered her mouth with my hand.

"Don't, if we catch any attention right now we could be blown to bits along with everyone within a 5 mile radius of this casino." I whispered. I took my hand off her mouth and she nodded.

I grabbed the bolt from her and asked, "Can you like, use magic to make it pocket sized?" I whispered.

She nodded and all of a sudden it looked like a tiny whistle in my palm. I stuck it in my pocket and then I found a trash bag(don't ask me where from because I don't know) and we went back to the room.

I set the bag on the dresser and replaced the trash bag.

"Let us know if there is anything else we can do for you." I smiled.

Then, of course, we made a run for it before they could ask us to do something we really didn't want to do.

"What next, girl?" asked Alexandra.

"We gotta get out of here!" I told her. Then I had an idea. We ran down and grabbed some food then we went back up to Percy's room.

I received another tug and knew that I had been in the casino for three days.

"What are you doing?" asked Alexandra.

"Can you enchant this so that they realise they are trapped here when one of them eats it?" I asked, holding up a hamburger I had stolen off some guy's plate(the guy seemed to be, like, from the 1600s so how he knew what a hamburger was beets me).

Alexandra nodded and took the hamburger from me.

About 20 minutes later we were running through the lobby towards the doors.

"Just be careful not to say or mention any of the gods starting now." I said, before we could open the doors.

All of a sudden as we were about to open the doors A little boy ran up to me. He must have mistaken me for someone else because he said, "Bianca! What are you doing?"

I turned around and crouched to the little boy's level, "I am sorry but I don't know who Bianca is."

"Sorry, I thought you were someone else." he mumbled.

"Hey, it's alright, here what is your name?" I asked.

"Nico."

"That is a fine name my friend. Who is Bianca?" I asked him.

"She is my sister, I can't find her." Nico said.

"Don't worry, I am sure she is here somewhere." The place was huge though, it could take him days or years to find her.

"I like you." he said, then he ran up and hugged me. I wasn't really sure what to do with it because I didn't really know the kid. I hugged him back.

"Hey, how about this, you climb on my back and try to find your sister over all the people's heads." I said when he finally stopped hugging me.

"Ok!" So, I gave him a piggyback and we finally found his sister after about an hour of looking. Thank the g- nope can't mention the g- stop PEYTON(yes I referred to myself in third person, also note… I am going insane)! (OK, so Nico is a little ooc, he only became gloomy and dark after Bianca's death. Also, which should I save, Bianca or Zoe? I am thinking Bianca but you choose.)

Anyway… after being in the stupid place for four days(my wrist jerked again when looking for Bianca) me and Alexandra finally got out. By that, I mean we pushed open the doors and we expected them to be heavier so we fell on top of each other right outside the door.

"Pey!" yelled both Connor and Travis. They helped us both up.

"Hey guys! This is Alexandra." I gestured to the girl next to me. I looked over to where the boys set up camp and noticed 4 stacks of wallets.

"HEY! HEY HEY! Where did all those wallets come from?" I asked.

"What wallets?" asked Travis, stepping into my line of sight so I couldn't see the piles anymore.

"Connor, where did you guys get the wallets?" I asked. He placed his hand to his lip and made a zipping motion.

"Fine, well at least we are out!" I said happily.

That was as happy as I was gonna get for a while.

Now to the backstory of the wallets: Connor and Travis are kids of the god of thieves. They had four days to themselves without supervision. Get over it.
