Chapter 44
Drew's POV
Honestly, I didn't get the point in celebrating Halloween, but if it gives people a reason to celebrate then why the heck not? My brown hood was down because if that thing ruined my hair, then I'd be ready to kill! I don't think anyone except my friends (of course) knew that I took an abnormally long time to do my hair. 5 minutes.
I know that may sound small to a girl, but it was practically an hour for a guy since most of them didn't even do their hair.
"Let's just ditch 'em." Paul grumbled. I still couldn't believe he had agreed to come, but then again we probably would've dragged him out with force if we had to.
"Stop being so pessimistic, let's just go find them." I rolled my eyes. Leave it to Gary to leave me with Mr. Dark and Gloomy.
"I think I found them!" Jimmy whooped from behind. I looked to where he was staring and saw 3 girls. One with blue hair in a weird…alien costume? A brunette in a puppet costume and a blunette in a mummy costume. I had to admit, these girls looked weird. We walked right up to them and guess who said just that?
"You guys look weird." Paul stated bluntly. When an enraged mummy was about to curse him her friends luckily grabbed onto her.
"Why you-!" She yelled back through constrained arms.
"Where are the others?" I asked changing the subject.
"We split up to look for you guys." Leaf explained. Marina and Leaf let go of Dawn as she calmed down, but it was false as the mummy proceeded to whack the zombie with a fist to the head, but Paul had ignored the blow causing Dawn to whack him persistently therefore causing her to be restrained once again by Marina and Leaf.
"Okay, so where are the others?" I asked again ignoring their hijinks.
"No idea. We left our phones in our tent thinking we weren't going to need them." Leaf shrugged. I noticed that puppet strings were attached to her arms and was held by Dawn.
"Dawn, give me those strings." I ordered. She handed me them with a puzzled look. The moment she gave me them I yanked her this way and that.
"OW! Why'd you give him those strings! Someone get them back!" She whined.
"Ouch." Dawn giggled. Marina gave her a sympathetic look and took the strings away from me.
"You all are annoying." Paul rolled his cold onyx eyes at us.
"If you've got any ideas on finding the others, then shoot." Jimmy said.
"Just look for the idiots causing the most noise to the west, idiots." Paul scoffed. Sure enough when I looked to my left I saw the others. Gary was being whacked by an angry Misty and May and Ash was eating various junk foods.
"Why didn't you mention this earlier?" Dawn asked.
"I thought it was obvious." That earned a nice, good whack from the mummy girl.
Leaf must've grown impatient because she took Marina and Dawn by their hands and dragged them over. I casually walked over while Paul more or so sulked over and Jimmy trailed Marina like, a moth to a light. I honestly never got why people would that sort of thing, especially my fans. I only think they like me for my looks or for my popularity that's why it was such a relief to meet these girls that were strange, but didn't care about biased things like, popularity.
I flicked my hair when I saw a brunette dressed as a ghost. I didn't dare say she looked frighteningly gorgeous. Of course not as good looking as me, though, but when I saw her red orbs instead of the regular blue I typically saw I jumped. However, the way she and Ash were eating was…uncouth.
"Maple, you have the manners of a pig." I commented. Honestly, I couldn't really stand the fact that she and Ash were so close. No one would know how much relief I felt when I found out they were sort of related, but still…
"What'd you say, Hayden?" She spat, literally! She spat her disgusting leftover chunks of foods on the nearest person who happened to be someone from the Aphrodite Force. Vicky was it?
Why'd you do that?" She hissed. She was dressed as a princess or something. I'm not quite sure; her face was caked in makeup, so to me she looked like a clown in an expensive looking dress.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, Vanessa! I didn't mean to! That was directed at Drew! I'm so sorry!" May bowed her head down in guilt. My eyebrow went up when she said my name.
"What? How dare you! This dress cost me the day's allowance!" Vanessa screeched and stormed off, but not before giving each of the guys a wink. It looked like a twitch to me, though.
"Man, I'm so glad that demented clown is gone." Misty breathed a sigh of relief. Okay, so maybe I wasn't the only one to compare her to a clown.
"Shh, you might make her smear her mascara if she hears." Leaf choked on laughter.
"Guys, it's not nice to gossip about someone we don't know." Marina countered.
"True, but that witch deserves it." Dawn intruded.
"I have to admit. She is a little nuts." May confirmed.
"Yeah, meeting her was definitely not the highlight of my life." Leaf said.
"Of course not. You have met me after all." Gary said interrupting their talk.
"Ooh, let's go play some of the games! I know Lisa's somewhere around there!" May interjected excitedly. May being the thoughtless person she was grabbed onto my wrist and dragged me towards the game stalls. I could hear Gary and Jimmy snicker as I was dragged off.
"I want that stuffed bear!" May cooed. She pointed toward a stand with balloons hanging on the wall. I saw a couple who was handed five darts and were given a chance to pop as many balloons as they could. They missed their first dart and got four balloons all together.
The only good thing about attending a demigod celebration is that no one's allowed to make scams of any kind. Other than that they were pretty ordinary celebrations with crowds of people and people of all ages. A demigod base was truly a place where a demigod would be safe.
May went up to the game stall and got the five darts herself. She amazingly popped six, but not enough to earn her the large brown bear with a red ribbon tied around its neck. I smugly took the five darts a try.
"Just watch me beat you." I smirked. I ended up popping one because I missed my first four…
"Yeah, right! I did way better than you!" May laughed. My face heated up furiously.
"That's because it was my first try!" I retorted. I gave the five darts a try again. This time I popped five. Not willing to lose to a girl I gave it another try. This time seven. I already had earned 4 miniature sized bears.
"That's not fair! You got four tries!" May complained throwing her own mini bear at me. I caught it of course.
"I never said you couldn't have three extra tries." I shrugged, not thinking that she could do better. I was wrong…
Her second try got her 7, her third try got her 9, and her last try got her 10, which was enough for the bear she wanted.
"Here, you can have all my extra bears." May said gleefully handing me two more of the bears. I guess she was fond of her first and last bear. I gave the demigod my bears, but as soon as we left to another stand a hoard or girls assaulted him for my 6 six bears. I could only imagine what kind of sad things they were going to do with my bears.
I also wasn't about to let a girl beat me in these simple mediocre games.
Lisa's POV
Nate was walking and talking with me while I wandered aimlessly through the stalls. It was honestly kind of a relief to walk with someone that wasn't a girl or someone who wasn't brain dead. I always thought that girls caused too much drama, so being friends with guys was much more calming, but of course Artemis disagrees on that fact.
I fluttered my wings easing the stress in my back a little. I never knew that wings actually caused tension in your back if you didn't use them until the day I got them. I repeatedly had to flap them or my back would feel sore.
"Why don't you take off your wings? I mean, that, um, well, you see? It's just that it looks like your back is in pain." Nate said nervously. I have no idea why he was so worried and fidgety all the time, but eh, whatever. I thought it was kind of interesting.
When a guy in a white nurse's outfit came up to me asking, "Have you seen him?"
He was holding a picture of Simon. How do you even lose a guy who doesn't know how to walk? Man, people sure can be retarded. I shook my head as well as Jude.
"We haven't seen him, but just a question. How'd you lose someone who doesn't have a brain?" I asked.
"Well, the boy said something about losing his pizza." A nurse answered.
"Does he even know what pizza is?" I rolled my eyes.
"Well, we thought he was referring to you or something." The male nurse said impatiently. I made a mental note to never trust these nurses to look after children or teens with poo brain. When I saw a teen with black hair crying I knew it was Simon. A girl with brown hair was looking after him. The girl I vaguely remembered was talking May. She was dressed as an angel.
Her hair flowed loosely to her shoulders, her white satin dress flowed, and her golden halo glowed. "I think I found him."
"Where?" The male nurse practically screamed. Man, what great service this guy does.
"Over there. He's with the girl in an angel costume." I rolled my eyes. We made our way to him and I remembered that Nate was with me as well. Somehow he was just following me as if this was normal, but since he's a demigod and all I guess it was.
"Hey, Simon." I greeted. He gave me a puzzled look, but broke out into a childish grin.
"Pizza!" He jumped up and hugged me.
"Um, (1) let me go and (2) my name is Lisa." I slowly pushed away the boy, annoyed.
"Lee-sa!" He cheered. I was starting to feel like his mother, sheesh. Although, I was a little surprised he could walk, so that means I held his hand for nothing! The little scoundrel!
"You better go with us since he seems to be attached to you." The male nurse informed. I personally thought that was a 'no, duh!' statement.
"Okay, well, see you, Nate. It seems like I have to go." I shrugged and went with the nurses. We headed back to the same tent that Simon was supposed to be held at.
You guys seriously couldn't outsmart a teen with poo brain? I thought.
"Now, let's see if we can find this boy's memories." The male nurse said professionally. Sheesh, at the tent he finally acts like a professional! Why not before?
Somehow Simon fell asleep, so I left to go back to the fest, but not before some weirdo grabbed me from behind. Being the kind of person I am I elbowed the possible rapist to see…the male nurse? Well, except he kind of transformed into a white haired kid. Man, was he ugly!
He did look a little familiar, though. Eh, must be my imagination. I focused my mind back to the current matter at hand.
"What the cuss? What in the world was that for?" I was yelling at him.
"Just doing my job." He transformed into the male nurse again. He was quick and fast, which is why there was a gash on the side of my arm. Blood was dripping down my arm and before I knew it my leg had a gash too. My vision went blurry, but the last thing I saw was a mop of black hair.
Well, guys, I'm going to end this here. The question is who saved/kidnapped Lisa? I'm pretty sure you guys can guess, but REVIEW!
