Ok here's ch.10, this is Mymy remembering her past a little so hope you like it. If you don't… well… I guess it might not be that good because I wrote it on my way to a field trip to the beach with my 8th grade class…
Chapter 10: Miranda's POV
This "Road trip" is going on my top 'Things I NEVER Want to Do Again' list. Imagine two ADHD kids ('teen and kid' as Travis puts it. That lop) in a small space for two days. TWO DAYS! Its not that I don't like Travis, I do, he's my favorite brother, it's that he's just SO annoying! Right now he's sleeping on the seat- wait no he just fell. (A/N picture Travis falling and tell me you didn't laugh! I wrote this on the bus and I just starting laughing and my friend just stared!) Ha he's drooling now. I think I should wake him up… nah he's fine.
I looked out the window, we where passing a beach. I sawkids my age with their families. They looked so happy. I hated them. I know, 'don't judge a book by its cover' well when you're a half-blood, always stay on your toes. For monster reasons. But that's not why I hate them.
My mom, Andy Swindle, had caught my dad's eye because of her sneakiness. She wasn't a thief. She was a detective. Was. She could also see through the mist. My dad told her who he really was and well, she fell for him. Hard. When he left, she was heart broken. She took her anger out on me. Never physical but she called me a mistake. That I should have never been born. I was just a reminder of pain, fake love. "A painful unforgivable mistake." That's what my mother dearest called me on my 3rd birthday when I asked for a doll that was very popular at the time. I felt like a no one. I believed her. I mean who would want an eight year old girl with ADHD and dyslexia who can't help but steal. Apparently camp half-blood because they care. Travis and Conner immediately liked me because when they tried to steal my stuff bunny, I ended up taking their wallet; iPods and their favorite pick-poking kit.
I felt a tear of both sad and happiness fall down my cheek.
Travis's POV
I had an other dream of Katie but it started of fine. We where on a picnic and we where walking by the ocean. Everything was going of great, when we where about to kiss, I fell and she started to laugh. When she finally stopped laughing, we where about to kiss again when I woke up… on the floor? How'd I get here?
As I got up, I saw Mymy by the window. Is she crying?
"Mymy…?" I asked quietly.
"Huh," She quickly whipped her tears.
"Are you ok?"
"Oh… uh… yeah just you know thinking. How was your nap?" She gave me a force smirk. I didn't know much of her past; the only thing that I did know was that she didn't like her mom. I could tell she didn't want to talk about why she was crying so I didn't push her.
"Not good, now my back hurts"
"I'm hungry"
"Then eat your chips"
"Uh…"
TWO HOURS LATER…
"Finally" Mymy yelled while throwing her hand in the air.
"Come on, we need to search for that side-walk thing"
As we where walking, 5 empusas surrounded us.
"Look what we have here" One sneered
"Where is she"
"If you come with usss we'll show you"
"No Travis it's a trap" Mymy had her sword out but this was her first real fight. She must be scared.
"On the count of three fight" I whisperd.
"Well?" One asked. I mouthed one, two,
"THREE" Stab, side-step, slash, duck, stab, clash
"Ah"
"Mymy!" An empusa got her and was about to stab her.
"Fine, fine ill go just, just let her go"
"How about we take you both" They walked us over to Big Birds star, yeah I didn't know he had a star either, and they prayed it open. They brought us down a hall, we had only killed 2 empusas so now their was 3. One had Mymy, 2 had me. I looked down the hall, it was the same as the one from my dream.
I looked at Mymy, she understood and yelled "Now" Her empusa was starteld which gave her time to kill it and help me. Once they were all gone, we ran to the door.
