I do not own McDonald's, Ronald McDonald (the clown) does


Chapter 2- We stop for food...and have a chat

Percy's POV

I don't hate her, I really don't. My pride is just ruined, hurt. I have defeated Cronus, the giants, Gaea, and many other nasty monsters. But when we fight against this hell hound, what happens? I get flung, hit a building and pass out. This new demigod, McKenzie, just grabs Riptide, my sword, and kills the hell hound. I'm glad we are okay and safe(for now) but my pride, oh my pride, its-

"Percy, stop at that McDonald's. I'm thirsty," my loving girlfriend says.

I nod and drive into the parking lot. I park, turn off the truck, and get out. Annabeth climbs out after me.

"Do you want anything, Percy? How about you, Andy?"

"I will take three cookies and a water, please, Ms. Annabeth," Andy says.

"Okay,, will do, Andy. Percy?..."

"I will have a cheeseburger and a large coke," I say.

"Should I get anything for Kenzie?"

"Get her a large lemonade with no ice, please and thank you," Andy says.

"Okay. I will be right back," Annabeth says as she walks inside.

I sit down in the truck and wait. I look over at McKenzie and study her closer. She has long, wavy brown/red hair. McKenzie has a pair of black framed glasses on her face (of course). She is kinda pale and looks really tall. On the floor in front of her is a cream colored bag. I reach over to grab it and-

"I wouldn't touch that. She is very protective of it," Andy says, making me jump.

"What's so special about a bag," I ask.

"It's the last thing she has of her parents. The bag was her mom's and there is a picture of them together with McKenzie inside. The picture was from her dad to her mom."

"Oh. What happened to her parents?"

"When Kenzie was two, they were driving home after eating out for Kenzie's birthday. They got hit by a drunk driver and both her parents and the driver died. Kenzie was the only survivor and walked away without a scratch."

"Wow. Then what happened?" I ask as I lean back in the driver's seat, completely curious.

"The authorities gave McKenzie to a foster home while they searched the scene. They found the bag in the car and gave it to her. So, as Kenzie grew up and was sent to many different foster homes, the bag went with her. She only stayed in a foster home at least a year and then would be sent to another home. I met Kenzie two years ago. That was the longest she has ever stayed in a foster home."

"Wow. That's a tough childhood. Do you know why monsters haven't found her until now?"

"No but I'm going to ask Chiron."

"Okay, good. Where's Annab-"

"I'm right here. I heard everything you guys said," an invisible Annabeth said.

Annabeth appears with a drink try and bag in one hand and her Yankee's cap in the other hand. I gaped at her, shocked. She hands me my cheeseburger and large coke.

"Umm...oh...uhh..." Andy stutters.

"Don't say a word. Make sure she doesn't know you, we, know. Don't. Say. Anything. She will tell us when she is ready," Annabeth states, looking at me.

"Umm...okay.." I say.

Annabeth nods and I let her in the truck and shut the door after me. She hands Andy his cookies and bottle of water through the back window. Annabeth puts McKenzie's lemonade in a coaster. I hear a thud and look back to see Andy sitting in the bed of the truck. Annabeth and I buckle our seat belts. I eat my cheeseburger and take a long sip of my coke. I started the truck and pull out of McDonald's. After driving for about thirty-ish minutes, I feel Annabeth lay her head on my shoulder. Annabeth's breathing goes even and I know that she is asleep. I yawn and turn on the radio.

'Only two more hours to go,' I think to myself as I drive towards Camp Half-Blood.

End of Chapter 2
