I WILL GET YOU NEXT TIME, MINO! ;P
~*~*~Chapter Six, Theme Six: Break Away~*~*~
"I don't want to be a monster who kills innocent people. We want to free you guys, or help you escape or whatever. Matt has crossed the line far too long ago and I'm fed up with it."
"And why should we believe that? You all tortured us. Almost killed most."
"What else do you have? You have a fifty-fifty chance, if you think about it. You come with us, or you stay here. If you stay here, you know what happens. You'll die. . .but if you trust us, then you have a fifty-fifty chance of coming out alive."
"I . . . kind of believe we should give them a chance."
"Me too."
"Fine. Tell us your plan."
And now they were going to go through with it. The plan for escape, given to them by three people who were their enemies. Or, used to be, if they really intended to help them.
The plan was simple, something that the kids could of came up with themselves. If they had the strength too. The problem was, even after a little hope, their minds just didn't seem to function a good escape plan. And, they couldn't do it, either. With how weak they all were. But the water, and the food, and the ambrosia, it helped. The plan: Lyssa, daughter of Iris, was to create a portal, which the kids could easily pass through and be transported somewhere else, to Camp. Sean, son of Tyche, would put one of his 'good luck charms' on the portal, to strengthen it. It was simple and affective.
If it worked. Which they all hoped to the gods that it would. That these three kids - Shula, Nathaniel and Jackie - could help them.
Hope had been weak in that cell room. They had all been tortured, beaten, defeated. Oskar had just recently discovered that he had cancer. Bri was afraid to go near him. Even with the good, Toby and Luna and Chase and Lyssa reuniting, Jamie healing Sean, it wasn't enough to make there hope grow strong. Not until those three came in with a plan did everyone feel hope. Sure, some that weren't there very long, like the Questers, might have had hope, but for the others, escape was a blissful dream.
Until this. Lyssa was finally making the portal, and they were all excited. Red, orange, green, blue, violet - all mixing together in their own little wall of rainbow. A light green light glowed around the whole thing, Sean's good luck 'charm'.
The portal started to widen until it was a circle, about ten feet by ten feet.
"Go! Hurry!" One of their - old? - enemies shouted. A girl, with black hair and an Arabic complexion.
They all started jumping through - Jamie, Toby, Luna, Rosalie, Lexie, Kay and Kaiden, Arra, Bri, Oskar, Chase. Sean was one of the last five people in. Shula pushed Jackie and Nathaniel in before her. Then, she grabbed Seth and Lyssa, and pulled them in with her.
When they all appeared on the other end of the portal, they were in Camp Half-Blood. All of them. Even Jackie, who nobody seemed to notice at that moment.
When the last three appeared, Jamie, with Toby on her heels, was heading straight for the Mess Hall.
Jamie, of course, was elated as she walked around Camp, navigating her way easily to the Mess Hall, even in the dim light. She knew they could waste no time gawking, and so had, of course, set a determined course for the Pavilion right away. She heard music coming from there, and saw wild lights, so she knew that was where they needed to head. There was probably some party going on. And she was going to crash it.
Toby, who was following her closely, was more awed and less determined then his 'twin'. He looked around the Camp, amazed and overjoyed at the sight of his beloved second home. Every few seconds, he would notice that Jamie was way ahead of him, and run to catch up with her.
Luna followed several feet behind Toby, smiling with a wonder feeling. Finally, she was out of that place! After everything that happened, she was back at Camp Half-Blood. No more scratching her wrists in her misery and locking other people out. No more of that. She imagine lazy days to come at Camp. Lying with Toby on the beach, making out with him in the shallow woods, riding pegasus. It was almost too good to be true.
The next four to step through were Rosalie, Lexie, Kay and Kaiden.
Rosalie looked around and smiled, glad to be back.
Lexie jumped for joy, a wide grin on her face. Her father did care about her, and no one would tell her otherwise. If he didn't, then she would probably be dead to the hands of cruel mortals. Her father did care, she always knew it.
Kaiden and Kay were, of course, baffled. They had never been to Camp Half-Blood before.
Arra, Bri, Oskar and Chase were next.
Arra smiled widely, barely being able to contain a squeal. She bounced on the balls of her feet, but when she saw the others trailing Toby and Jamie to the Mess Hall, she had to walk after them.
Bri and Oskar stepped through holding each others' hands, and they both smiled with relief and remembrance at the sight of the sky blue Big House, the cabins, the monster noises in the distance. Oskar sighed and tightened his grip on Bri's hand as they followed the others.
Chase waited for Lyssa, liking what he saw. From the stories the others told about Camp Half-Blood, it was even more glorious than they made it out to be.
Next to walk out was Sean. He looked around the Camp, taking everything in. It was astounding, it really was. Everything was so green, and alive. He heard music in the distance, and even though it might not have been his preference, the slow, soulful lyrics filled his heart with a pleasant feeling. He felt like the weight of the world was lifted off his shoulders, right then and there.
Jackie and Nathaniel tumbled out next. Jackie looked around in astonishment. She was a mortal, and even though she had worked for the Doc and knew all about half-bloods, she thought that the magnificence of Camp Half-Blood had been exaggerated.
Nathaniel was less happy, because all he could think about was his family. Maybe he was stupid for doing this, for helping these kids escape, because the Doc and Matt held his family's lives at stake. Maybe he could find them, warn them. Hopefully it wasn't too late.
Shula, Lyssa and Seth stumbled out after them.
Looking around, Shula wondered if the gods could be so bad, if they gave their kids a place like this. It was nice, serene. Not the place that she pictured her terrible father having helped create or plan, or even guiding his kids to.
Lyssa immediately grabbed Chase's hand, and while glancing this way and that, followed the others to the Mess Hall.
Seth and Lexie reunited and walked to the Mess Hall together.
Sure, they knew things were far from over, but breaking away . . . breaking away from that horrible, dreadful, putrid place in Wyoming . . . it was worth the feeling of being happy.
