Chapter 7
The half-bloods gathered around the hill, the sun was just rising and the birds were chirping, the half-bloods got ready for their quest, hearts pounding.
"Ok, so are you all ready?" Chiron asked, the only one seemingly excited that day.
The half-bloods looked around them, looking at their friends faces, hoping to find some assurance for what they were about to enter, yet no one spoke up.
"Ok... never mind that, of you go, stay safe!" Chiron said, finally noticing that dead silence, his voice shaking at "stay safe."
"Oh, and you'll be glad to know that the campers volunteered to make you a ride, the Hephaestus cabins' newest members worked on this and finished in just 2 days. You must count yourselves very lucky." Chiron added.
The demi-gods looked behind where the Centaur stood, behind him was a van, a big one, certainly something that no one would spot... ever. It was rusty, old and-
"Gross! We have to ride that?" Thalia exclaimed.
"We have to deal with it Thalia, it's either this or we walk." Clarisse replied.
"Why can't we just ride a plane? I am the daughter of Zeus you know." Thalia sharply replied.
"Because Thalia, the void of darkness is in between the sky and the earth so right now the sky is not really looking good for us, at least here, we actually know where were going and we believe that the void is much closer to the sky than it is here." Annabeth replied, correcting her friend.
Thalia did not bother replying, once a daughter of Athena said something, arguing was out of the question.
"Can we please get moving now?" Grover asked impatiently.
The kids nodded in agreement.
Upon entering what first struck Percy was the colour. All around him, colours. The van was divided into 7 compartments, (note the van is bigger in the inside than what it appears outside.) one for each of them. These kids also, seemed to be experts on each of their tastes, likings and personalities, each of their cabins fit them perfectly. They settled in, ready to begin their journey.
"Who's driving?" Thalia said, warm and cosy in her cabin, it was painted a light yellow, bows and arrows shaped a lightning bolts, were at every corner.
"I volunteer Nico!" Grover exclaimed, immediately excluding him from driving, he hated roads and plus he felt so at home in his cabin the green walls, branches and leaves around him, but he most especially loved the bed, it was made of tin cans, he started chewing them unaware of it.
"Fine I'll do it." Nico replied lazily. He hated his cabin, I mean just because he was the son of Hades, they paint his cabin black? Everything was black, not a speck of colour. Gloomy, hatred, no emotion, not who he was, since Bianca...
He made his way to the drivers' seat, he had never driven before, but it wasn't like any of them ever tried.
"Where to?" he asked, looking towards Annabeth.
"New York, the museum of natural history, Rachel had a vision there." Annabeth replied turning to Rachel urging her to explain.
"I had a dream last night, we were in the museum and we entered a tunnel, it was a tunnel inside the T-rex." Rachel finished.
Shock read on their faces. A tunnel? Inside a dinosaur? She was kidding right?
"You sure the tunnel was INSIDE? Not beside?" Clarisse asked.
"I'm sure Clarisse, you were in front, leading way." She replied.
"Ok, New York it is." Nico replied.
The journey was long, the half-bloods spent the trip discussing possible strategies when they confront the Protogenoi.
Finally they had arrived.
"Ok everyone, out of the van." Clarisse ordered. Well it sounded like one.
Nico turned the keys to stop the car when they heard the ticking...
"Everyone get out!" Percy yelled.
They frantically made their way out of the van, seconds to spare.
BOOM!
An explosion rocked them to their very core, fragment of the van spattering on them, their faces filled with dirt, their clothed ripped in places, they looked around them, faces read shock and fear, and luckily the humans had not noticed.
So much for volunteer work... Percy thought.
