I slipped into the window and landed on the floor. My dad was still there, knowing I would come back.
"Okay, I'll go quietly. But I've been thinking. Darren and Evra are different, they're not demigods, but they're my friends. I'll only go if they can come." I said before he can open his mouth.
"Okay. They can go." My dad replied losley.
"Really? Okay!" I said, happily. I smiled "Thanks!" and ran back out the window and jumped down. Darren and Evra were down on the side walk. "He said yes." I said calmly.
"Cool, so when do we go?" Evra asked.
"Uhhhh.....we have to go to..." I coughed and mumbled, "L.A..."
"L.A?! Why didn't you tell me? What if we run into the other circus, huh?! The one that abused me!" Evra yelled.
"That's not going to happen. Because I'm smart!" I replied pulling my wand out of my boot. "Becides, I heard they got ran out of business when the health department heard that they were abusing people. I got this all under control!"
"Fine, but if I see one single part of that circus, I'm gone."
"Kay" I smiled, and used the transporting spell again to bring all of us to L.A, but only right outside the city. I wonder why a camp would be in the forest of a major city....
"Isn't this nice, now we have to walk to the whole other side!" Darren complained.
"Oh boohoo for you!" I snapped. "Follow me" I walked on. They followed behind me, but caught up with me. We all began talking about how this was going to work. We were going to have to get on a bus, Darren stole money from Mr. Crepsley--we'll deal with the trouble later--, sit there till we're at the other side of the town, and then go find the Camp. I know it's not going to be out in the middle of everywhere where anyone could see, it'll be hard to find. Looking in forest, deep in the dark midnight air. Why am I so negitave?
I was now going over the short conversation with my dad in my head. It was just too...easy. Why? Something was up, and something was going to happen on the way to camp, or when were there.
I stopped in my tracks, terefied suddenly. "Wait," I whispered, hoping my voice wouldn't crack from thinking. Evra and Darren turned and looked at me.
"What, the sooner we get to the train station, the better" Evra said, trying to get me to come on. He put his hood up since people were passing us. He didn't care if people stared, but I told him to keep it up when people pass, so we wouldn't get asked questions after questions to be held up.
"My dad, he agreed to this.....so fast. Something has to be wrong. He didn't ask any questions, just said 'Sure'" I replied dazed in thought.
"Well, maybe your dad's just nice." Darren sudjested. (A/N: I'm so sorry for the spelling, I know it sucks, but my other word thing stopped working and this one, WordPad, doesn't have spelling. -_- Poo. :( )
"Yeah...Maybe." I began walking again and we acted like nothing weird happened. I looked around the busy city, we'd decided not to take a bus, it would attact too much attention on...well all of our parts. I have snake skin, which I hide easily. A jacket, jeans, a scarf that I wear around my head, sunglasses, and sneakers. Darren said I looked like a hip old lady, Evra just laughed at my scarf and said I looked like an idiot. I just glared at him and slapped him upside the head, which made his hood fall off and then I'd laugh at him.
This went on for a few days, then we finally found a place to sleep. We've been sleeping on park benches....
A huge hotel was infront of us, with blinding light and bright colors. I could hear buzzing comming from inside, and I began to walk in. Evra and Darren stayed back, a paniced look on their face.
"I don't know Madie, this seems pretty suspishous. I mean, just look at it. It's just...inviting. Like it's calling you in." Evra whispered, but just enough for only us to hear.
"That's the whole point of a hotel. They want you to come in and stay!" I walked in and I heard Evra and Darren run after me. I opened the door and a cold wave of air hit me and sent me falling back. Darren and Evra caught me and kept me from falling.
"Whoa. Awesome!" I jumped out of their arms and walked in. There was anything you could ever imagine, and more. I looked to my right, and Sparks was in a fenced area. I gasped, and fell back again. "Sp--Sp--Spar--Sparks" I whispered. I was confused, and yet so very happy.
"Your horse is here? And...is that my snake?!" Evra asked alarmed.
"Appreantly yes. And--woah woah Annie?!" Darren asked, alarmed too.
"Your sister. Your snake. My horse. Why is everything we love here?" I asked confused.
"Who knows, but we should enjoy it why it lasts." Evra said running towards his snakes, and a whole snake paradise.
"This is bad and creepy, Madie stay with me, we're not splitting up." Darren said consirned. I nodded and looked up at my horse. Sparks met my eyes and neighed.
"Okay. You can go see your horse, but don't get too attached. We have to leave soon. Okay?"
"Yeah yeah yeah I hear you." I ran towards my horse, who began neighing excitedly. I smiled and reached out to stroak Sparks's mane. I looked at my arm and it was human skin. I stared shocked, and took off my scarf around my head. I balled it up and put it in my pocket. Maybe I could just turn into a snake-girl when I wanted, and now I wasn't thinkning about it. I smiled and jumped the fence. I put my arms around Sparks's neck in a hug and she brushed up against me. I sighed and climbed back over the fence to walk back over to Darren, yet I couldn't bring myself to walking out those doors. I looked for Darren and saw him over with Annie, playing with her. I sighed and knew I was going to have to pry her from him to get him to leave. I looked at Evra, with all the snakes wraped around him. They were all having the time of their lives. I walked over to where Evra was.
"Evra, we have to leave. Darren isn't quite sure about this place--he doesn't feel right-- and we should leave. We have to get him from his sister so we can--" I got cut off my Evra hissing at me. I was shocked and outraged at the same time. "Fine. Stay here. Let the snakes sufficate you, I, don't, CARE" I yelled. "Have fun with your new life with out me!" I stalked up the stairs, and some guy followed me. I turned around and saw that he worked with the hotel. He handed me 2 cards-- one for a room, and another for an arcade. I sighed, and went up to the room. I opened the door, not looking around the room, and threw my stuff on the nearest bed I found. I walked into the kitchen and took a shower. I brushed my teeth and got dressed. I sighed and went downstairs to try and get Darren and Evra out again. I had my backpack over my shoulder and I put my scarf on again, just incase. I looked to my left this time and saw my horse. Sparks, looking at me with those big eyes, wanting me to stay forever with her....
Stop thinking about it! You have to get Evra and Darren out! I screamed in my head. I tore my eyes away and stomped towards Evra. I grabbed his hand and dragged him away from the snakes.
"Evra! We have to go!" I yelled.
"NO!" He yelled even louder. There was a different voice, lower. I cringed and grabbed his hand again. He tried to pull away but I just slapped him. He blinked a few times and snapped out of it. "Madie, I'm sorry I should't've yelled I was just--"
I cut him off "No time. It's fine I forgive you but now we have to tear Darren from his sister. You do that, since I took you from your snakes which would've killed me."
He snickered and went off to Darren. I looked around for the first time since ariving and met eyes with Sparks again. I couldn't leave, I had to stay and take care of her. I began walking towards my horse, almsot like a zombie. I stroked her face, and jumped over the fence. I sat with my back to the fence, and Sparks laied down next to me. I smiled, but then I saw a shadow comming over me. I looked up and saw Darren and Evra standing over me.
"Time to go Madie." Darren said.
"Why can't we stay! It's perfectly fine! We can stay here, you with your sister" I pointed at Darren "And you with your snakes!" I nodded at Evra. "We'd all be happy!"
Evra looked over at Darren, and they both nodded. They grabbed my arms and picked me up. I thrashed around trying to get away, but then suddenly everything dissappeared, melting like ice in a fire. I stared in horror.
"It was all an illusion. It's been about 5 days." Evra explained.
"What?! We have to get to camp!" I got out of their arms and walked on.
This, this was going to take forever.
