Hello my dear readers. I know I've been a bad author and haven't been posting every week or on the day's I promise so here's a teaser of Chapter 6 for you. It's unedited and still in it's raw form. Once I finish it and find a new editor (my friend and I got into a fight so she doesn't want to edit my stories anymore, hence one reason of my slowness) I'll post it up and take this one down. So without further ado, enjoy!
Black Star quickly jumped up and asked, "What are we waiting for then? I, the mighty Black Star, will find this Mushu kishen and kill him with my hands tied behind my back."
Percy's POV
Lord Apollo seemed to try not to smile at what the Black Star kid said. "Percy, hold out your hand," the sun god said.
I looked to the god slightly confused but I did as I was told. In a sudden flash of light, there was an envolpe in my hand.
"This letter will get you as far as Colorado but that's all I can do," Apollo said.
"How is a piece of paper going to get us that far?" Soul asked.
"Let me guess, there's a Roman veteran that I have to give this to," I sighed.
"Correct. He has a private plane and it'll you there in six hours."
My face slightly paled at this. A plane? Really? Leo wrapped his arm around me and smiled. "Don't worry Perce, if Lord Apollo is having us take the plane then there's a chance that Lord Zeus won't shoot us out of the sky."
"He would do that?" Tsubaki asked.
Leo shrugged. "Yeah, after all Percy don't belong in the sky. Lord Zeus might take his master bolt, take an aim, and then we'll be crispy critters if we're lucky."
Annabeth smacked Leo's shoulder and took him away. "Stop that, your scaring everyone," she growled.
I sighed but put the letter in my pocket. "Where do I met him at?" I asked.
"The airport in New York," Lord Apollo replied. "Now I should be going. See you guys."
The sun god enveloped in a bright light once again so we had to look away. When we looked back, he was gone.
"Come on Seaweed Brain, we should start packing," Annabeth said with a smile.
"Yeah," I said.
We walked down to the cabin area while Chiron took the four newbies to give them some items we may need on the trip. I walked into my cabin and thought for a moment. A plane? Well, it'll get us there faster. If we took a bus then it would take us a couple of days before we even reached Colorado and another couple to head to Forks, about five days in total. Five days we don't have. As I packed my last shirt into my backpack, I heard a knock on my door. I opened it up to see Leo there, smiling like an idiot.
"Your ready Percy? Our cab should be here any minute," the Latino demigod asked.
I nodded as I headed outside and to the hill that marked the end of our border. I saw Chiron handing Maka some mortal money before they noticed us.
"Well, lets get this show on the road," Leo said as he rubbed his hands together.
We had to call in for one of those van taxis that mostly disabled people used and so the driver gave us seven teens a weird look as Annabeth sat in the front seat while the rest of us crammed in the back. He didn't give us any dirty looks after we paid him though. It took us about an hour due to traffic but we where able to get to the airport before Leo could bug any of us too much.
"Next time the Mexican pulls a joke, I'm going to kill him," Soul grumbled as he climbed out of the van. Maybe I spoke too soon.
Leo wrapped his arm around the albino and just smiled. "Come on, I'm a Latino, and you love my jokes," he said.
Soul shrugged him off and glared at him. "Uncool man, uncool," he said before he followed Maka and me into the airport.
Leo shrugged and stuffed his hands into his tool belt and brought out some metal and tools. He then began to work on the item as we walked to the edge of the airport when the security guards stopped us.
"Sorry, but I can't allow you to go any farther," one said.
"Why not?" Maka asked.
"Because no meisters or demigods are not permitted to go any farther," the other said.
I quickly brought out Riptide and glared at them. "What does that suppose to mean?" I demanded.
"Master Pan is to wake up and you seven can't disturb him," the other said.
They then leaned in to attack us when someone behind them smacked both of their head with a cane. We looked in silence as the man behind them looked to us. He looked about well in his eighties with a bald head and a white beard. His blue eyes twinkled with amusement as he leaned onto his cane.
"Praetor Perseus Jackson?" the old man asked.
"Ummm... I'm not a praetor anymore and it's Percy," I said as I put my pen back into my back pocket. "Are you the Roman that's suppose to take us to Colorado?"
The man nodded. "I'm Alexander Kingsly, son of Vulcan. If you have the letter, I would love to see it now," the elder said.
Leo shook his head as I handed him the letter. The old man looked at it for a moment and then put it in his pocket. "All seems in order. Please follow me."
Maka, Soul, Tsubaki, and Black Star all looked at me funny but we followed him.
"I could have taken them," Black Star huffed.
Alexander looked at Black Star and raised an eyebrow. "Oh? I don't doubt it," he smiled.
That seemed to stroke the blue head's ego as he puffed up. "Of course! I'm the all mighty Black Star! I'm going to surpass the gods one day so two humans would have been easy for me to take care of."
My eyes widen as I saw Leo jump away from Black Star, as if a lightning bolt would have hit him at any second. Alexander though only smiled.
"So I see," he said humbly. "Well, I am honored to be in your presence Black Star."
