A/N Kudos to my reviewers :) Sorry it took awhile I've been busy :P Anyways here's Chapter 2
Chapter Soundtrack - All We Know by Paramore
Grover walked towards me hesitantly,
"Look Heather this might all seem really weird right now-"
"Weird being the understatement of the millennium!" I cut in, I wasn't usually a violent person, (if you don't include the whole fox stabbing fiasco) but I wanted explanations and I wanted them now.
Grover started tugging on his beard tuft so hard I thought he was going to pull the whole thing out,
"I'm not actually allowed to tell you anything, and we sorta need to get to Camp Half-Blood before anything else comes along" He grabbed my hand and started towing my towards the road
"Camp what? Is that like a military base? What about school? An my stuff? And my Mom?! "
Grover ignored my questions and stuck his thumb out into the road.
I looked at him in disbelief, what was wrong with the world today? Random giant foxes appearing from nowhere, being dragged to Camp 'anti monster' and now Grover was trying to hitchhike in a invisible car. RIght.
"Grover," I said with a sigh, "What the heck are you doing?"
"Getting us a ride" he looked at me with a 'duh' expression
"But there's-" But then a NYC yellow taxi just appeared in the road...OUT OF THIN AIR. As if today could get any weirder.
Grover tugged me towards the car, glancing around us as if he expected the fox's twin brother to jump out from behind a bush yelling "AWOOGA!" Not that foxes could talk, but today, nothing seemed impossible. The taxi's backseat was remarkably roomy even if the whole of the interior did reek of flowery, old lady perfume. Grover had just slammed the door behind us when I suddenly remembered,
"Grover what about my parents? Aren't they going to be seriously worried when I don't turn up at school?"
He looked at me sadly, "They've been expecting this for a long time Heather, 15 is quite late for major monster attraction"
I stared at him in disbelief.
"They knew I was going to be attacking my giant foxes?! DId they not consider, I don't know...WARNING me!" I suddenly felt dizzy, my head ached where the fox's claws had got me and I was so confused! Then a voice asked from the front seat,
"Well? Where are you headed godling? We haven't got all day you know!"
It was a horrible voice, cracked and old. I really didn't want to know whose voice it was, but my curiosity got the better of me. Sat in the front seat were three old women. Their faces as they stared back at me were so wrinkled it was hard to make out their features. As soon as I did, I wished I hadn't. Two of the women had empty eye sockets and I could see all the muscles and veins where their eyes should have been. I'd never really been that good with gore.
"Give me the eye! I want a look at her too!" One of the eyeless women reached over and smacked the one with the eye hard on the back of her head. The woman's eye popped out out of the socket like a cork and landed in my lap. The blood roared in my head as I sat staring at the eye as it continued to roll in my lap. Then, thankfully, I blacked out.
Bit of a transition chapter there guys, but have no fear we'll meet our favorite PJATO couple next time :)
Reviews? They might help my poor tired fingers type faster ;)
