After being attacked by the Minotaur I figured it'd be a good idea to follow Britt's instructions. I hurried to get into the car without a second thought. Throughout this whole thing, one thought crossed my mind. Britt wasn't really a bad person at all. He was actually pretty nice, and maybe even cute… Nah. I'll just stick with nice.
"So what is going on? Now would be a good time to tell me you know! And what do you mean you aren't really a target that much? Am I a target?" He didn't even respond to my questions, which just got me more upset.
"What that heck is going on?" I shouted and pulled the emergency brake back, which cause him to freak out.
"Stop asking me this. We need to be gone and can't waste any time. And we still have to get Anona," Britt stated in a matter-of-fact kind of tone and began driving again.
The thing that got me wondering in that was Anona. You see, Anona has been my best friend for almost two years now. We both moved here at about the same time. She was everywhere in my life, just like Britt, but she was actually a friend of mine. I even think they both moved down within the same week, which is a bit suspicious now. But another thing about her is that she's like the class savior. Anona is great with helping people who are hurt. It's actually a bit odd. She could possibly beat the school nurse, but I don't want the need for that type of contest.
By the time I got out of my thoughts and came back to reality, we had already reached Anona's house. Britt threatened me to stay in the car as he ran up to the door to get Anona. I must say, I've never actually been to Anona's house, yet alone see it in the first place. It was a very small place that seemed to be able to have no more than a couple of rooms. I was a bit surprised that her family lived there, but I wasn't going to question it.
Excluding the size, her house was very… well… sunny? T seemed to be brighter than any other place I've seen, but I'm pretty sure I'd just lost it. There were lots and lots of sunflowers though. Picture a field of corn or wheat then replace that with a field of sunflowers and you get her yard. A very sunny house.
I saw Anona reach opened the door. She glanced to me in the car with a worried look and nodded. Anona vanished from my sight for a while then returned to the door with a bag. She locked up the door and came back to the car with Britt.
Once they both got in the car I continued to try to ask questions. "Hey best friend. Would you like to explain what's going on? Britt seems to like to ignore me instead of explain anything to me at all," I stated.
Anona obviously didn't want to explain this, and I could tell by the look on her face. "Fine. I'll tell you, but do not freak out. You've heard of the Greek gods, right? Of course you have. Well you know that sometimes they get together with mortals and have kids?" I dumbly nodded to this. "Well you, me, and even Britt are all some of those children. We're demi-gods."
"So you are telling me that I'm half god?" Anona and Britt just nodded. "Well then who's my dad? I mean it has to be a guy, because I know my mom is really my mom."
Britt shrugged and decided to join in. "You'll have to find out at the camp, even though it seems pretty obvious to me. I can't tell you my guess though. It might get your hopes up. That's where we are going. I's a camp for demi-gods, half-bloods, or whatever you want it to be called. If you haven't figured it out yet, my father is Ares. My reputation has some reasoning behind it."
"And my father is-"
"Apollo," I finished.
Anona stared at me with a blank face. "How'd you know?"
I smiled, feeling a little accomplished today. "The sunflowers. The hundreds of sunflowers in your yard kind of gave it away once I knew they were not just random."
Anona smiled for the first time, and even Britt seemed to smile a bit. "You're catching on."
