ok, this may be a short chapter, sorry, but i don't know how to write it!
I do not own the Percy Jackson series!
Darkness Before The Light Ch.3
We barrel out of town towards the airport, Mac not letting his foot off the gas once. We soon got to the airport and Mack got out of the truck and told us to follow him. We followed him into the airport, and he bought all three of us one way tickets to New York. We got on our plane, and me and Emma looked at each other, not knowing what to do. We sit down in some seats, and Mack takes the seat across the aisle from us. It was a nine hour flight to New York, which would give us plenty of time to ask Mac what the hell was going on.
"Mac... What's happening?" I ask as I notice Mac frantically watching the others in the plane as if one would change into a monster and attack at any second.
"Jojo... It's a long story... And I don't know if I'm the best person to explain it..." He said looking as he didn't even want to explain it.
"Mac... What are our parents going to say when they found out you took us all the way across the country?" Emma asks seeing the practical side of things.
"Emma, don't worry, the mist will make them think I had permission... I hope..." He says, also getting out of another conversation.
"Mac! Tell me what's going on. Now. Or do you want me to scream?" Emma says and a look of panic flashes across his face. Both me and him know that she will scream, and everything would go wrong for him from there on.
"Fine." He says not wanting a screaming teenager. "It's about our mother... Our real mother. Joe's too." He sighs and I could tell he was about to say something insanely far fetched. "We are the children of the Ancient Greek gods." Me and Emma stare at him for a while takeing in what he said.
"What do you mean?" I ask seeing Emma was thinking he was bat crap crazy.
"I mean, the Greek Gods where-are-real, and they fell in love with our parents and we are there children. And that cyclops that attacked you could smell it. Demi-gods live in two worlds, meaning we are completely mortal and kill able, but we can see through the mist, or the fog that clouds humans minds preventing them from seeing the monsters. There is a catch though. Even though we can usualy see through the mist our mortal half still clouds our view and some things are often still concealed from our view." He says. His leg bounces up and down as iff he has had too much caffeine. "You won't believe me until we get to the camp. Everything will be explained there." Then he stops talking and resumes his vigilant watch of the plane. Me and Emma exchange more looks but then decide to hear him out and wait till we get to this place he is talking about.
Sorry again for the lateness and shortness! I was havering trouble writing this, and I hope the next chapters will be better!
