I am so sorry for not updating! I have no excuse except for being lazy.
Percy POV
Seriously, would that satyr ever shut up? He has screaming at me to think of a plan forever. I am not Athena the Second.
We are in a Pier somewhere on the coast of New Jersey, while Grover scurrying around trying to get a ticket for Long Island. I had absolutely no idea what he was trying to do, maybe to stop the maids from following us? I've tried controlling the water, through it hadn't worked since I left Virginia.
We hitched a ride on a stolen car across the states, though it had broken down when the maids threw a bar of iron at it. Everytime I didn't even think about the golden-eyed man anymore, Grover would look at me quizzically everytime I think of my old life. Well, I actually preferred my old life, when we weren't being chased by a hoard of stampeding maids. There were also other monsters, though they weren't quite as persistent as the evil maids. Sigh, isn't there anyway to get rid of them.
"Eureka!" Grover walked back, holding some tickets truimphly. "I got some tickets for Long Island, though some people will be wondering where their tickets are."
I sighed. "You stole them, right? A satyr stealing tickets, that's a first."
Grover glared at me. "Then would you prefer to swim over to Long Island, or maybe ride on the back of a dolphin?"
I raised my hands in defeat. "Why do I feel like you spent too much time which the cabin of Hermes?" Grover had told me about the cabins at camp, and their different aspects. He certainly spent too much time with the Hermes cabin.
"No, I did not!" Grover exclaimed. "Desperate times, des-"
"Desperate measures." I completed for him. He had said that to comfort me(mostly himself) over the course of my journey. "I have that sentence carved into my brain, so would you mind saying something else for a change? Anyways, where are those supposed to be coming backup?"
Grover suddenly developed an interest in his shoes. "Maybe they were just... too busy?"
I rolled my eyes. Too busy? What kind of an excuse was that? "Well then, let's hurry up and get on that boat for Long Island. Because it is about to leave."
