I AM SO SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING YESTERDAY! I was hypnotised by TH1RTEEN R3ASONS WHY. Ahhh, don't I love suiside mysterys. I am letting you know this is sort of a filler chapter, not really any action, but it is important in the perspective of how Tristan reacted to the whole run away/road trip. And I want to let you know the route from Henderson, Nevada to where the cabin is in Oklahoma. Here it is,

1. Henderson, Nevada 2. Flagstaff, Arizona 3. Albuquerque, New Mexico

4. El Paso, Texas 5. San Antonio, Texas 6. HOUSTON! 7. Fort Worth, Texas

8. Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 9. To be decided... aka, where the cabin is

Let me know if you like the layout, or if you want to add a city. And can we make it 100? I would freak out and act like the time I got my LAPTOP! Seriously, I use it, like, everyday. I would freak out, and if I get more than that...I would probably tell everyone about it, annoying the Hades out of them, or labeling me a freak. But I am already a freak...I would just ask them what their first clue was. Thanks for reading my rant, and for believing in my weirdness!

Henderson, Nevada was a pretty place. It had lots of greenery, hotels and shopping malls and restrants. We saw that it was pretty big, and I could believe it was the second biggest city in Nevada. But we just needed a place to park our car so we can sleep, and a drive-though McDonald's. So Leo drove the car around the area until we saw a Wendy's. I like Wendy's better than McDonald's.( I LOVE Wendy's! LOL) It had better tasting food. I now really wanted to have some salty french fries, or maybe a baked potato. Overall, I was really hungry.

"Hey, Leo. Can we stop at Wendy's? It probably would fill us up." I asked him. Just then his stomach grumbled loudly. I guess he was hungry too.

"WE FOOD EAT NOW!" He exclaimed in a rough and barbarish voice as I burst out laughing. He sounded exactly like a sterotypical caveman. Hopefully he won't eat like a caveman too.

"I am guessing that is a yes, Mr. Stone Age

We went to the drive-in and ordered. I got a Garden Side Salad with french fries and a Pepsi, while Leo ate a Chicken Sandwich with french fries and a Coke.(And I know it is 6 AM, and that Wendy's would not be open, so deal with it.) We sat in the car with the hood down in a abandoned , and watched the sunrise. It was pretty, as it peeked over the hills and made everything a golden color, but without the burning Southwest heat. It made this time of day the most desireable here.

Once we finished eating, we leaned the seats back so we can recline a little. I insisted that Leo should sleep first, he looked like he was going to pass out any second now. He fell aslep almost as soon as he put his head down. But it hit me. Without him, I would be distracted from the previous day's events. Now all the guilt and questions would come and burn into my brain.

So that was how I wasted the next hour an a half.

Did my dad discover what I did?

Was he still mad, or sad, or confused?

How will Mellie and Coach Hedge deal with it?

Did he call the police?

Does Chiron know that I am not at my dad's?

Does Camp Jupiter know?

Will any monsters attack us?

What do the gods think?

I tried to think of the possible answers. THat took a lot of time though.

Did my dad discover what I did?

Yeah, probably.

Was he still mad, or sad, or confused?

Of course he was. He is wondering why I left, even when it smacked him in the face ten times.

How will Mellie and Coach Hedge deal with it?

Not sure. Probably they will be calming down Dad, or contacting camp, or

Did he call the police?

If he was in right senses, then he did not do it. It could lead to a major paprazzi problem.

Does Chiron know that I am not at my dad's?

Yes. That would be Mellie's job to let him know.

Does Camp Jupiter know?

Who knows? We try to keep contact, so they probably will find out soon if they don't already

Will any monsters attack us?

They have been unusually timid, but if at least one does not attack, then I am a hellhound.

What do the gods think?

They must have all the opinons possible for a extremely powerful group of immortals. But I know they are watching our every move, just as entertainment.

I sighed, why does the world have questions? The balance in pure plesaure and true pain. Why are we superior to others? I seriously do not know. Why am I think these deeply phislophical and sort of stupid thoughts anyway? To waste time, I guess. I woke Leo up whe n the clock said it was around 9:30 and the sun was clearly up and bright. I then fell into a properous sleep.

Dad was pacing the room. Mellie and Gleeson were watching him, sitting on the couch together, their voices loud.

"...it will cause a big mess with the press." Mellie said

"Don't mention paparazzi and over dramatic women." Gleeson added.

"What do mean by that, Gleeson? And we need to contact the police." Dad said, clearly confused.

"One, women will be upet that you had a child with another woman, when they have celb-crushes on you. And two, we know that she is heading back to the camp, and we know the location. She will be fine. She has been in sticker situations." Mellie explained.

"Fine, but I want a search done for her in secret, until we find out she is at her previous school. Deal?" Dad grugingly said.

"Deal."

Lame ending. So review. And I am seeing that movie Snow White and the Huntersman. It looks cool and I heard the graphics are a-MAZ-ing! Plus I like the creepy blood thitrsty queen. Heeeeeeee... I'll give you a full report next chappie. And I will keep up the poll for a few days. And I will do one or two filler chaprters before Houston with monster action. I mean, this is about demigods, so there has to be monsters. Right?
