The girl who's point of view this has a southern accent. Therefore it's a little hard to have her talk like this. Therefore she will not be talking in a southern accent, but imagine her talking like she should if you must.
Hey, yall! I'm Lorelei, call me Laura. I guess I was pretty excited about this trip, I have to admit. Seeing as I didn't want to come to Brooklyn House in the first place! I lost my twin brother Evan to magic, and I wanted to have nothing to do with it.
So I guess you could say this was a good thing for me. I knew from the start I belonged with Thoth. He is a smart man, and I am rather smart mysrlf.
So I was packing. And I knew we were limitted on what we could pack. I wondered if Sadie and Carter would know the difference if I packed and extra outfit... Probably not, so I went ahead and packed one anyway. I also threw in my swim suit, because we were going to be by the Ocean (I'll explain more about that later).
Anyway, so I was honored to have the group I had. It was a small group of good people.
Jamie is a really sweet sweet girl, and it was hard to know that she was gonna be apart from her two siblings. But Jamie also could be very sarcastic and cold, and can talk WAY too much so (let's say you can count of the truth from her). She was following the path of Isis, she knew how to do some pretty divine and beautiful magic that I would never be able to acomplish. Jamie is probably 5'3, which is shorter than me. She has long brown strait hair that she is always dying or putting streaks in, and her eyes are brown. Her skin is really pale (which I found weird since she came here from Cali) and she is skinny. Her clothes are pretty outragous and mostly black.
Then there's Seth. He's really something, and we get along well... you know, besides the fact that we argue. Its like the greek gods Athena and Ares. Ares wants to charge mindlessly into battle (Seth is following the path of Horus, WAR GOD), whereas Athena wanted to have a plan (ME, totally). But I think that's only with me. Because to everyone else he is sweet/nice and helpful! Seth has long black hair that just cover his eyes. His eyes are a light green, and they're kinda pretty. He came from Sacremento.
Me? I came from Nashville, home of country music (and I sing a lot of it). I have really short, redish-brown hair and electric blue eyes. My hair is the style that flappers (piolets) wore a long time ago. This is on purpose because a lot of awesome women were flappers! I always wear colorful skirts and tank-tops (when I can) because in lenin that is very comfortable and the style fits me nicely.
(Now it is later!) And we were going to LA! Sweet! I've never been, but I've always wanted too. And I hear the beaches there are spectacular! I've always wanted to learn to surf. I know we're supposed to be on a mission, but maybe at the end we'll have a little extra time. All I have to do is convince Seth and Jamie!
We were all going to meet before hand, my idea, to form a plan. We met in Seth's bedroom (I was highly resentful to do so). "Okay, first we should know the exact place we're landing. And time would help too," I told them. Jamie smiled at me, "I knew you'd say that! So I looked it up. 'Los Angles County Museum of Art', exact address 5905 Wilshire Blvd. Los Angles, Cali 90039. Time at LA will be 10:30 a.m, time here will be 1:30 a.m."
I looked at her impressed. That was amazing! That girl surprises me everyday. "Oh my god, Jamie! That's amazing! I can't believe-" Seth began. I clamped my hand over his mouth and he glared and me. "That was truly amazing. Thank you for using your time to do that," I said warmly. Seth could probably rant for HOURS on the subject, so I had to shut him up and sum it all up.
Jamie laughed at us, and Seth spit on my hand. I shrieked "DISGUSTING" and rubbed my hand all over his shirt. That was extrememly gross! Maybe if someone else didn't I wouldn't freak out as bad.
Sadie walked in and smiled, "You should be more careful where you put your hand, Laura." I nodded weakly and looked down. "But the real reason I came," Sadie said. "Is because you're only aloud to pack one pair of clothes, Miss Circoy." I didn't like how she was acting all sofisticated and Carter-like. She was the FUN one around here! "Sadie, you feelin all right? For a moment you sounded like Carter." Sadie turned her head toward Seth and glared, "You noticed. Yea, I'm not Sadie. Transfiguration spell that one of the kids out on me. None-the-less I plan to get my use out of it. But really, Laura, only one pair of clothes and no swim suit."
I groaned. Sometimes Carter is so annoying! So I ran. I think it surprised everyone. I ran into Sadie, literally. Perfect just the person I was looking for. "Sadie, I need help!" I said urgently. Her eyes got wide, "With what?" I looked back to see Carter running down the hallway. "Tell Carter to let me pack a swim suit and an extra pair of clothes. I'm going to LA and I want to swim in the Ocean!" I complained.
Sadie laughed as Carter stoped behind me angrily. But I think it was because he looked like her. "Nice look, Carter. But let me fix that, I don't want you parading around as me!" Sadie said a spell and he looked like himself again.
"Now, Carter," Sadie said. It sounded like she was scolding him. "I think you should let Laurie do it. And whoever else is in her group. They officially have my permission." I cheered and hugged Sadie before running back to my group. "Guess what you guys! Guess what? Sadie said to pack your swimsuits, because we can go swimming there! Won't that be great!" I yelled. They got excited, but not nearly excited as I was.
So we went to our artifact and I recognized it. It was a statue of Anubis. Many heiroglyfics were written on the block he stood on. I wanted to read them one by one but we had to go. Off to see the wonderful LA BEACHES!
There place we landed in was amazing!
There was a figurine of a crocodile-headed deity that I didn't recognize, a bronze coffin with two bronze lizards on the lid, a fragment of a relief that featured what I thought looked like a working man, and so much more beauty. I also realized the museum was empty, and apparently closed.
"Did you check the hours?" Seth asked gently. I was seeing a whole different person. "No. Sorry. But I really don't know if it matters. Maybe it's better that we came while it was closed. Some people might have been surprised to three see us pop out in the middle of no where. And with you two bickering, they'd think you're a couple!" Jamie rambled.
I looked at her with my eyes wide and my mouth in a tight line. Jamie had said too much. "EXCUSE ME?" I hollered. She smirked, but you could tell she was taken aback. "Take it back," Seth said. You could tell he was trying to be really really nice, but it just wasn't working so well.
"Fine, you two. I take it back."
I relaxed a little. But the words still rang in my head; "they'd think you two were a couple!" I shuddered at the thought.
"Fine. Anyhow, let's get out of here. I wanna see the ocean!" I said excited. We walked out of the building and immediately I smelt the salty ocean air. I breathed it in through my nose calmly. "Smells like home," Jamie said happily.
But we had a little trouble. First let me say that how did we know not to walk out the front door because there were guards that stood on the other side? "Hey! What are you kids doing the museum? You're tresspasssing!" one of them yelled. We could use magic to get us out of this- well, we could but we shouldn't in front of the mortal guards. So we did the only thing we could do, we ran.
