Me: Character Academy! Yay!
Finn: Oh joy! I get to rescue you from the Inner Sanctum!
Me: Yeah, sorry the last chapter was short. It was a 'filler' as people call it.
Finn: Filler, a noun, a chapter of a book or document that is short and important things do not happen but is necessary for the viewer or reader's aid.
Me: Dictionary dot com.
Chapter 9
Kat POV
"How are you going to get us out?"
"I'm a Fanfiction writer, I can do anything!"
"Magical powers don't work here."
"I'm not a wizard," I protested. Dumbledore, a few people ahead of us, turned and waved. I didn't know how he got here, he was at school. I shook the question off and took a look around. Anything that would be a good excuse for Alecto to take me away? I'll give her a chocolate doughnut? I called her back over.
"Have you found the reason?" she hissed.
"I'll give you a free scholarship to Character Academy," I said. Alecto sighed.
"Better than that. There's one thing that I would really want," she said.
"What is it?" I asked excitedly.
"A slave."
"What?" I asked, bewildered. "I could probably take you back in time, but don't you think that's a little…"
"Not those slaves! An able-bodied fictional slave!" she exclaimed.
"Well, Edward Cullen is very…"
"No, not Edward Cullen," Alecto spit out his name. "Finnegan Whitman."
"What? No! You want Finn as a slave?" I said. Should I? Was he even coming to rescue me? Or was he going to take over the school? I couldn't be certain.
"Of course. It also gives me free passes to Disney World."
"I heard Poseidon doesn't like it there," I pointed out. I shifted a few feet forward in line.
"He's a barnacle brain. Don't tell him I said that."
"I won't tell him if you take me out of here," I hinted.
"This spot in line?" she clarified.
"Yes, from this spot in line," I said exasperated.
"Okay!" she chuckled as her claws grabbed my shoulders and picked me up.
"Thank you," I sighed. "I was quite concerned when you…" I was saying before she dropped me even closer to the pit in line.
"What are you doing?" I shrieked. Alecto laughed and flew away. I was even closer to death than before.
"Oh Finn, please hurry if you're coming at all," I mumbled as the fire pit to my death was now visible.
Finn POV
On the plane to New York City was blissful. I had put Mr. Ravioli in the backpack in the cargo hatch of the plane. Thrilled that I could get a break, I went on Kat's laptop, which was cluttered with half-stories (stories started but never finished), chapters typed, waiting to be published… it was a mess. I got into this one story that Kat wrote the first chapter of, it had no title, but she had the summary. It was about angels falling from the sky and killing citizens of Earth and it was up to Amaryllis and Sophie to save the world. I had a feeling that they wouldn't save Earth in this story, perhaps a trilogy. I fell asleep for a bit before the captain announced twenty minutes to landing. I went on to look up fictional things. I found the Inner Sanctum in zero point two five seconds. It said it was underneath a sewer on Broadway. Yay, swimming. I exited and looked around. Two passengers were sleeping. One was trying to get out of the squishing seats. One guy was blasting music, and the other was looking out the window. I sighed and looked out as well. I gave a small squeak and a few people looked at me. I shut the window quickly and looked back out my window. There it was, flying next to the plane, Fury Alecto, grinning weirdly at me. I shut the window again and burrowed in my seat, hoping the flight would be over.
When I came out of the airport, I was expecting Fury Alecto to offer me a ride, but it didn't. Mr. Ravioli was silent and it turns out, he fell asleep. Thank goodness. I got out of the taxi and walked around to find Broadway. I saw a group of six kids lead by a dark-haired girl walking out of an alleyway. I went up to the girl.
"Excuse me, I… what?" I got a good look at the other kids. It was us! The DHIs! Finn was in the front looking confused.
"It's me!" I exclaimed.
"Finn?" Amanda asked.
"Yeah! What are you… oh," I said, realizing what happened. The Kingdom Keepers Percy Jackson crossover took place here. These were the fictional characters.
"Hey Thalia, where's Broadway?" I asked her.
"How do you know my name?" she snarled.
"Where's Broadway?" I yelled.
"That way," she jerked her thumb to her right.
"Thanks!" I called, running down the street away from my friends. I heard a noise in my backpack. He was up. Ugh.
Me: I was considering adding 'Wow! Amanda looks beautiful today!' or something, but Power Play explained EVERYTHING!
Finn: -groans-
Me: And you wanted me to read it…
Finn: It is MY book after all.
Me: Did you write it?
Finn: No…
Me: Then it isn't your book. How dare you read my cluttered files.
Finn: It was on there! And that's the only way I could find you. In the story.
Me: I should have added in chapter two of KKPJ that Finn ran up to you...
–laughs- That would've freaked people out, like I'm psychic or something.
Finn: You got me. –sarcasm-
Me: -frowns- You forgot to grab the bracelet off of Candice the Zucchini.
Finn: Bad me.
Me: I'm going to throw in Maleficent to go to school. With Chernabog, just to freak you out! Hahaha!
Please review! Thank ya!
