A/N: It's going to get more exciting from here on out. I've never really written an adventure story before. I hope I'm doing a good job. I'll be updating more frequently seeing as I'll have more time on the computer. I don't usually update this much but I'm fine with it...because anything is better than watching my brother demonstrate how Indian women sing and dance in their music videos. (And that is actually true...he showed me yesterday shivers)
Disclaimer: I haven't put one of these up in a while...shhhh...I do not own COTT.
" It's close...I can feel it!"
The red haired Theresa bellowed over the crush of waves against the white and navy blue motorboat the group was travelling in.
" Which way?"
Jay turned to her, holding the steering wheel with two hands. The waters were less than calm today. Theresa closed her eyes. A flash of light blue and grey swept over her minds eye. Cronus stood, smiling devilishly. The image changed to Neil's sister, her small wrists tied with glowing red and orange restraints.
" Left!" she shouted.
The boat swerved and a yelp was heard from the far right corner.
" Man Archie...when it comes to water, your a real yellow belly" Atlanta laughed to herself.
The purple haired boy heaved, wiping his mouth.
" My stomach is a beautiful shade of peach thank you very much," he barked in between unsure moments of sea soberness.
The salty wind wiped and teased the golden hair of the depressed looking boy on the other side of the boat. Theresa smiled sympathetically, walking over to the boy.
" Your freaking us out Neil...this isn't like you at all"
The arm he was leaning on moved, and he looked at his friend.
" I don't feel like my self right now"
The coldness in his tone surprised her. She motioned for Neil to move over, and she sat beside him. Her motherly instincts seemed to kick in as she reached to stroke his white gold bangs out of his eyes. He smiled weakly. Theresa had always been the group's leader in ways that Jay could never be. She took care of everyone, especially Neil, always including him in everything even when the others were sceptical or annoyed.
He continued, " Ever since we were little...Mel and me would always be together..." his weight shifted once again onto his arm.
" She was the only one who would put up with me. It was always... I don't want to play with Neil cause he only thinks about himself, You can't play with us Neil cause your too annoying"
The girl opened her mouth to say something but stopped, sensing a pang of ache in her blonde friends voice.
" She was always with me...even when we fought and we were away from each other...it felt like I don't know...a part of me was missing"
He covered his mouth with his bent arm, mumbling.
" But whatever you know...it sounds completely cheesy...whatever"
The red haired girl sighed, reaching out to her friend, " Neil...I "
" Gossip time over ladies", Odie pointed forward and a large land mass came into view.
The small vessel approached a enormous twisting tower that seemed to be an extension of the sea itself stretched to the sky, piercing the clouds.
" Whoa" Herry looked up directly, almost falling backwards onto Odie.
"Watch it big guy"
Jay motioned for the entire group to get out of the boat, putting his finger to his lips, silencing them.
" This tower doesn't show up in my database" he looked at Jay, raising an eyebrow.
" It's because Cronus took the liberty to build it himself" He pet the tower with his right hand.
" It's a miracle the lazy bastard didn't steal another god's hideout like he always does" Neil said bitterly, sitting on a stray rock.
" Well..." said Jay" shall we?"
The group stood, Atlanta grabbed their bags out of the boat, spreading them out on the dark sand.
She whistled with admiration, holding up a large cross bow, smiling.
" Look at this baby!"
Archie frowned and Herry stepped forward, picking up a small dagger and chuckling.
"Your so violent"
Atlanta ignored the purple haired boys comment, hugging the Texas sized weapon lovingly.
" I think I'll call you...Chris"
The others claimed their equipment, standing in front of Jay, ready for action.
" Alright, let's go"
A/N:...Chris is a nice name.
