AN: Woohoo! You people do not know what I've been through trying to get my Wi-Fi to work, oh well. Lets continue, shall we?
Travis POV:
And there we where the majestic capital of Maine, I've always wanted to visit it (Why do all of the kids of the major Gods get to go to Rome or Greece?) AN: Maine is totally cool it's just this is what I think Travis would be thinking. I breathed in the cool air and stepped off the bus with a rather sick looking Katie and a sleepy Connor. Yup, the dream team. The streets weren't covered in snow and ice since it was summer but for some reason I was cold. I shivered and slipped on the jacket that Chiron had oh so generously given me.
Then I looked around to see the people on the bus hastily get out as the bus diver announces that this is the last stop.
"So, Gardner where to next?" I question, " Augusta is pretty big, huh"
"Well, we could walk around for a bit and see if we see anything strange."
"I second that but first lets get some food." Said Connor. Katie looked down at her feet and pulled out a twenty.
"That's it." We both stared at the cash. That was all we had?
I gulped and said, "Um… maybe the food can wait." They both nodded and started to trudge down the streets of Maine. There are two things that I would never recommend doing: traveling on an empty stomach, and traveling with a Stoll that has an empty stomach.
"OHHH WILL YOU STOP COMPLAINING!" I finally shouted at Connor snapping. "We're all in the same boat." He just grumbled and shook his fist like he was in a cartoon. Finally after walking for about EVER I notice a small gathering of people, only they weren't people they were emposai. I gulped and pointed at them. "Look" I muttered casually strolling past the horde of monsters. Cautiously we walked as close as we dared.
"Lord Prometheus will get us revenge on the Gods by stealing their symbols of power."
"Be quiet you idiot!" one said, "They can hear us!"
" To the Capital Park!" the monsters cheered and yelled getting strange looks from the mortals around us. The mob began to walk down the streets before getting into black vans. What is it with monsters and vans? Ya know?
"Where's Capitol Park?" Connor questioned. I shrugged.
"Dunno."
"Do you two know nothing?" Katie said, "I mean really just because were year rounder's doesn't mean we have to know nothing."
"So Miss Gardner, enlighten us."
"Well I read a travel pamphlet on the bus, Capitol Park is near the Kennebec River, so it's that way." She said while pointing at a green road sign that protruded from the ground. It was a 3-mile walk on an empty stomach! Groaning we began our walk. After about an hour of silence I decided that I wanted to convers (annoy Katie).
"So Katie-Kat," I began, "Do you have anyone you like at camp." She cringed, and I knew that this was a sore spot.
"None of your business!"
"Oh but it is my business, you see that it is my job to snoop in other peoples lives." I smirked at the fact that weather she wanted me to or not I would eventually find out.
"SHUT UP!" She turned beet red, " I don't like ANYONE!"
"But then you wouldn't be blushing."
"Shut up!"
"So if you won't answer my question then I will just keep talking and talking and talking–" She slapped he hand over my mouth.
"You hear that?" she mumbled. There was a faint scratching sound in the distance. We broke into a sprint, but it was still getting louder. SCRATCH. We turned around to see a wolf. Its fur was matted and it had scars crisscrossing it battered form. Its beady eyes where staring at me as if assessing if I was a threat or not. I doubted the beast thought I was.
"You will not stop him!" the wolf rasped, "I will have my revenge on Zeus, I will!" It wailed into the cold evening air.
"Psh, how will you stop us," I challenged immediately regretting my words as it turned looking me square in the eyes.
"I will kill you." Then the wolf broke into a sprint barreling into all of us. It knocked us down into the moist dirt, "I will kill you all." So this was a psycho wolf. Even better. It had pinned me down and its deadly sharp teeth were inches from my undefended neck.
"This is way to close for comfort dude." I groaned inwardly when would I learn to just shut my mouth. Then it happened. Something had knocked the wolf off of me and it had knocked me out in the process. The screen faded to black.
I was back in the meadow where my first dream took place facing out towards the sea at the edge of a cliff. I felt the urge to jump and when I heard a voice behind me I did. Why would I do that? I heard a scream and then it went black. The ocean engulfed me and I heard a voice say, "So you beat my minions, but nothing will stop me, I want my revenge!"
I woke up with a scream. I was in the forest and judging by the noise it was a few miles off the highway. I was thrown uncomfortably against a tree. Groaning I got up and looked around to see that I was alone. Where was I and where was Katie and Connor. Gingerly I walked over to the highway to find that it was about midday and I was out alone in the forest. Where were they? I started to walk down the highway.
Katie's POV:
Where was I? I was in a stuffy small room. It was dark and musty and my muscles groaned. I didn't even remember how I got here. After I had knocked that wolf off of Travis my world went black.
AN: EHHH? You guys just love those cliffhangers huh? Have a good Halloween. The next chapter will probably be the last ;). Reveiw please!
