Turns out, we weren't going to Florida right away. It was pretty late by the time we got out of Navy Pier. We ended up staying at a hotel called the New Moon Inn. It was weird; this place was so nice compared to its location. The town surrounding the hotel looked like the home to a bunch of drug-dealers, but the hotel looked like a five star hotel you'd see in Hollywood.

Once inside, Artemis crashed onto the couch, and pulled out her iPod. I guess that mean's I get the bed. I thought. I took advantage of the hot running water, and decided to take a shower. It's not very often that you get to take a shower on a quest.

After I finished my shower, I landed on the bed, and fell asleep instantly. Once again, I had another weird dream.

In my dream, I was standing in the hotel room, we were staying at. It was like I was someone else. I could see my body sleeping soundly on the bed. Artemis had apparently fallen asleep, and was sleeping on the couch. For some reason, the dark silence made me nervous. I nearly jumped out of my skin when I heard the door to our room creak open.

A man (or monster) dressed in black snuck into the room soundlessly. He crept into the room, regarding me, and continuing on towards Artemis, who was still asleep. I was freaking out, but couldn't wake up. The man kept creeping forward, that's when I noticed the knife in his right hand. That's when I woke up.

I woke up in my bed screaming. What made matters worse was that the black figure was still there.

Artemis had woken up once she heard my screaming. Her silvery eyes shot open, and she instantly noticed the man in black. Fast as thought, she whipped out a small dagger from under her pillow, and tossed it at the man's head. As soon as the celestial bronze dagger hit the man's head, he evaporated into dust.

Artemis quickly flicked on the table lamp next to the couch. She seemed startled, and was trying to regain her composure.

I wasn't sure what scared me more, the man (or I guess monster) dressed in black, or the fact that Artemis sleeps with a dagger under her pillow.

"Are you okay?" she asked in a surprisingly calm tone.

I didn't trust my voice at the moment, so I just nodded.

Artemis walked over to the knife the monster had dropped when he had incinerated. She picked it, along with something else off of the ground.

"What was he trying to do?" I finally managed to ask.

Artemis turned towards me, holding up, not only the knife, but a little empty vial too.

"I think it was trying to get my blood." Artemis said slowly.

"Wait a minute; was that a monster or Dracula?" I asked.

Artemis looked slightly confused, which was odd for a god. Finally she answered, "I'm not really sure." (wow also odd.) "But I'll keep watch for the rest of the night. Go to sleep, we're going to get some answers in Florida tomorrow." I nodded, and before I knew it, I had fallen asleep again.

The next morning, I woke up to ice-cold water being splashed on my face. Let me clue you in on something; when you add a sleeping demigod, and ice-cold water, you end up with one of the following:

a) An extremely irritated demigod

b) A startled demigod that jumps almost eight feet out of his bed

c) A noise that sounds like a rusty old car horn

Or d) all three

I was 'd'. I yelped and jumped out of bed. I glanced over at Artemis who was trying to hide a smirk.

"What in Hades was that for?" I whined.

Artemis smirked, "Time to get up, our flight leaves in three hours."

"What flight?" I asked, still groggy from the night's sleep.

"Our flight to Florida," Artemis said, "You know, where we have to go to finish the quest and get some answers, ring a bell?" she asked sarcastically.

I suddenly felt as if I had been launched off of a roller coaster. I remembered what Apollo had told me back in New York. I was only allowed to ride on an airplane that one time. Zeus would blast me to oblivion if I were to go on an airplane again. "Umm, would it be alright if we didn't fly?" I asked.

"Hmm… No." Artemis said.

"But, Lord Zeus will obliterate me if I go anywhere near the sky." I argued, determined not to go on the airplane.

"He didn't 'obliterate' you last time." Artemis pointed out.

I sighed, then told her about my meeting with her brother, minus the part where Apollo told me to watch out for her.

Artemis thought for a minute. "It would take way to long trying to get there by train." she said, "I guess we'll just have to pray that Zeus is in a good mood." She shrugged.

"Oh goody." I said sarcastically.

About an hour later, we were waiting to be boarded at the Chicago International airport. I still thought that this was a bad idea, so I prayed (since we left the hotel almost an hour ago until now) to Zeus that he'd allow me to fly this once more.

Finally they called us to be boarded. Artemis had told me not to sit with her on this flight. I guess I really did drive her insane last time. In the plane, she sat in the seat a row across from me. I glanced out my window; it was a nice, clear, sunny day. Maybe Zeus would cut me some slack.

Once we were in the air, I grew anxious. My ADHD was acting up, so I was fidgeting, and the sky was growing darker, making me even more nervous. I thought I would lose it completely when I heard the flight attendant's voice over the intercom, "We will be running into some unexpected turbulence, please find your seats, and keep your seat belts on. Thank you."

I glanced over at Artemis, who was glancing out the window. Her fingers were drumming the armrest anxiously. She's nervous too. I realized.

Suddenly the plane gave a giant shudder, causing the passengers to rattle in their seats. I looked out the window; the sky was near black. I glanced over at Artemis again; her face had become slightly pale.

I almost died of a panic-attack when the lights on the plane shut off, leaving us in darkness. I jumped when I felt someone move to sit next to me. I was able to relax, a little when I realized it was Artemis. I could still see glowing, silvery eyes. They looked worried. As my eyes adjusted to the dark, I noticed that she was silently mouthing something, a prayer. To her dad? I decided to follow her lead and began to pray desperately to Lord Zeus.

Finally, after two minutes of pure agony, the lights on the plane flashed back on, and the sky grew lighter. I noticed Artemis breath a sigh of relief.

"We will be safely reaching Miami soon," the flight attendant's voice rang out over the intercom, "Sorry for that little scare, enjoy your visit to Miami, and thank you for flying with us on U.S. Airlines."

Finally, we had reached Florida. Time to start the quest.
