Alright, this is chapter five for you all! Please read and review! Enjoy! Mwhaha I'm so evil. This one goes out to Madison Grams! Enjoy!
You know, being a daughter of Athena isn't as fun as you'd think.
See, not only does my mom hate my boyfriend, but when you fight with someone, and their in your cabin, you're forced to see them everyday. I guess that's the same for every cabin, but this time was different. At dawn of the day of the quest, Tati walked up to me where everyone else was on the hill. She told me we couldn't be friends anymore, and the whole time, she kept a hard face on. By the looks of the faces on everyone else, they were told the same thing, too. Even Jacob looked like he was hurt. I was surprised she would hurt Sarah, Jacob, me, Sterling, and all of her other friends.
"Where the Hades is she?" Jacob said, finally breaking the silence. She was the only one who was missing, and we couldn't leave without her. I saw Vidhi quiver at Hades' name, but she didn't say anything. Stupid hypocrite, what was with her and the name Hades?
"There she is," Sarah said, pointing her out. She was trudging up the muddy hill, fists clenched and the same hard face as before. She tapped Jacob's shoulder and motioned to the road.
"We're going to run? To Manhattan?" Jacob said in awe. Tati glared hard and nodded.
"That's insane," Elizabeth said with raised eyebrows.
"Shut up," Tati hissed with as much venom as a rattlesnake. "Move your ass, wolf boy." She growled and turned to walk away. Jacob shrugged and followed her. Gerhard, who had been silent the whole time, looked stunned at Tati's outburst, but followed her.
"Damn," Sterling said. "You would never thing her." Everyone agreed.
"Alright, Sterling, Madison and Sydney, you three are heading to Hollywood." Chiron said.
"Lucky!" Jeff said in awe.
"I always am," Sydney replied.
"You three will be taking that car over there," he ushered to a blue, nice-looking car stalled along the road.
"Jeff, Sarah, and Vidhi, you will be heading to Las Vegas. You will be taking Ares' Chariot—"
"How did you manage that?" Vidhi asked.
"Don't ask," Chiron said, than shivered. Everyone was to miserable to laugh. "Claire, and Melissa, you're going to Texas, and you're taking the big, red truck. It runs well despite its age. Finally, Brennon, Jen, and Elizabeth, you will be heading to none other than Canada."
"Canada?" Elizabeth asked, smiling hugely. "Where is Canada?"
Chiron looked nervous. "All of Canada. You will be taking an aircraft. Good luck, everyone, and make it back alive."
"Wait, where is Tati's group going?"
It was the question we all were to afraid to ask. The group had known before, and Jacob had acted flighty and nervous the whole time, Gerhard like a jerk as usual, but even he asked scared sometimes, and Tati, well, she acted like she had no feelings at all. But if it was enough to scare Gerhard, then it had to be something bad.
Chiron looked over each of our faces. What was that on his face, doubt? Finally, he spoke, and it was enough to make anyone scared.
"They are to summon something from the Underworld, past the fields of punishment. They are to summon a titan from the depths of Tarturas and convince him to join our side, or all is lost."
We hopped in the car and drove off not moments after that. Despite the fact that we were all underage and none of us could drive, Sydney was behind the wheel, and I have to admit, she was doing pretty well. Nobody spoke for awhile, and finally, Sterling spoke up.
"Something on your mind, my little owl?"
I managed a small smile, but I couldn't answer or call him something back. My thoughts were with Tati's mission. I would like Gerhard to die, but Jacob wasn't all bad. And Tati was my friend.
Suddenly, I was pushed to the side and my face smashed against the window. A series of yelled was followed by a scream of "MADISON!" followed by a smashing sound.
"What the Hades—" I started, but Sydney grabbed me and threw me out the window. I rolled, and, ignoring the sudden pain in my arms, I looked up just in time to see a Hellhound jump onto the car, followed by an explosion.
"STERLING! SYDNEY!" I screamed, standing up and running to the wreck. We were already in the city, and cop sirens wailed. I ran to the car and found an arm. Pulling on it, I managed to pull Sydney out of the car. To my relief, she seemed mostly unharmed.
"What happened?" I yelled, but she didn't answer.
"Sterling!" She screamed, clawing through. We found Sterling and dragged him out. His eyes were closed, and he was bleeding bad.
"Is he dead?" I asked, horror creeping up my body.
"Alive, all he needs is some nectar. I think the shock made him pass out."
Despite myself, I rolled my eyes. "Idiot," I muttered. Sydney didn't say anything, just set him down and ran to a can with an old lady it.
"Move it, bone bag!" She screamed, throwing the lady out. She hopped in the car and helped me get Sterling and me in the back, and we were off.
"What happened back there?" I asked, panting.
"Hellhound attack. Pretty brutal, if you ask me. As long as we got our weapons, we're fine, but we had to time."
I sneaked a peek at Sterling sitting next to me. He had woken up already, and was looking much better.
"I feel kind of bad for robbing an old lady of her car," he said, reaching for a cup of water. "Ew, and her dentures."
I chuckled and looked out the window.
"Guys, check this out." Sydney said. We leaned over the seats and looked through the windshield. The huge sign stood out to up, at least another four hour's drive. That's how big it was.
"We're here," Sterling said, "Hollywood."
We had barely time to cheer before something jumped on the hood, something bigger then a hellhound, causing us to crash into the side railings of the road.
There you go! Mwhaha! I'm so evil! To be continued! Read and Review! TatianaBieber out.
