Alright, act 2 is here. I see Ashlynn is a favourite of the audience of three people.

I personally like her because she is a badass who you don't wan to screw around with.

HoneyG:(Thats what im calling you ;)), i like how your favourite were basically all of the characters.

historian: I don't beleive Jay is a character. At least not yet. ;)

Kiwi: Ditto.

Here is the first chapter of act 2.

To represent act two on the chapter table, I will use song lyrics if you guys want to know where the acts start and end. Act one was one noun things.

We were driving up the highway. It was a cloudy 2AM. The highway was dead empty like a ghost town, only the two of us. I was driving and Ashlynn was in the passenger seat. All of our stuff was in the backseat and the trunk of the big truck. The radio was on pretty loud to keep us awake, not that our adrenaline wasn't doing that for us already.

"So do you have any idea of where we are going?" I asked.

"My mom used to go hunting north alot. She knows a guy up in Haliburton. Maybe he can help us out. He's an old friend of my mom."

We had nowhere else to go, nothing to lose except for our lives, and it seemed like the most availible option.

"You have an address?"

Ashlynn googlemapped it. "49 Jungle street."

Funny street name for somewhere up north.

"Ok that sounds ok. Is that a phone?" I asked.

"Yeah why?" I took it from her hands and threw it out the window. She slapped me.

"What was that for!" she was seriously pissed off.

"Now that we've run off, the police and people are going to try and look for us. They can track our phones."

She wanted to say something, but realised that I was right. She took out her ipod and plugged the earphones and gave me a glare.

"Turn off the wifi." I warned her.

"Done." Now Ashlynn had a grudge against me. I rubbed the cheek that Ashlynn slapped. It burned a bit still and there was an imprint of a hand on my face. I ignored it and drove on.

Haliburton is a small town about 3 hours away from Toronto. With all the coffee stops, it took us 4. The sun was beginning to rise as we quietly drove into the seemingly deserted town. The town was in a valley, well being Ontario it was not a very steep valley. More like a few lumps of dirt considered hills. There was a freshwater lake which was surrounded by trees and cottage country. Algonquin park was only an hour away so it was ideal for any camper. The sun rose further as we slowly tried to find the street. When we found it, it was 7AM and the sun had fully emerged from the horizon. It was a country road a few minutes from the main town. It was connected to a small lake, ideal for fishing. However, the house was the only one around the lake.

The house itself was more of a small log cabin. It had one door and a few tiny, foggy windows. Mist was coming off of the lake for it was still early morning. Ashlynn and I barely talked after the phone incident. Before we knocked on the wooden door, Ashlynn tapped my shoulder.

"Sorry I slapped you earlier." The pain and the redness were gone, but both was easily recalled.

"Sorry I didn't give you the honour of throwing your phone." I smiled. after driving for four hours relying on iced caps and coffee for several hours, I was conked. Finally, we got round to knock on the door. We waited a few seconds, then the door opened to a man. A young man. He wore dreads and a large beanie. He was wearing a muscle shirt and baggy jeans. He was also wearing hiking boots. He looked rather rough, but if he was a highschool friend of Ashlynn's mum, god he looked young.

"Um, are you Phil?" Ashlynn asked politely.

The man looked at her curiously. "Atlanta is that you?"

Ashlynn blushed when she realised he was checking her out. "Umm no, I am her daughter. Can we talk to you for a bit?"

Phil just smiled. "Come on in."

The lodge was only one room. It had a few chairs, a worn out couch, a small kitchen, a rug, and that was about it. Phil jumped back onto his couch. "So what are two kids like you doing all the way out here?"

We told Phil just about everything. It was a risky gamble but we guessed he may have some answers. He did know a hero of New Olympia after all. Phil laid back in his worn down couch eyeing us both as we told the story. Especially Ashlynn.

"Please beleive us, we're not crazy." I said after finishing the whole story. He eyed me curiously.

"I beleive you man, you kids don't seem to be lying, and also because of these. He tossed off his shoes to reveal hooves.

HOOVES. The man was half goat or something. He took off his beanie to reveal two horns which made my heart skip a beat. I was terrified. We both thought he was going to try and kill us like everything else that was related to Greek Mythology did. As we both stood rigid in our chairs, he reached out his hand, beckoning us to shake it.

"The real names Pan. God of the forest and panick."

We didn't move a muscle. He sighed.

"Don't worry I'm not going to hurt ya."

I slowly got up and wearily shook his hand. I was still alive. I started breathing again. I sat back down, looking a little less petrified and a little more like Herry. Phil- I mean Pan was still eyeing Ashlynn.

"Dude I can't get over how much you look like your mum. It felt like yesterday when she was your age. I guess when you are a god, you forget that people close to you still age."

I was thinking at that point. So apparently Atlanta, Ashlynns mum was a friend of the god of the forest. I was pretty wierded out.

"So you and my mum were friends?" Ashlynn asked.

Pan smirked. "We had a bit of a fling." He winked. "Then she realized that I was hypnotized by Cronus and I almost killed her. Good times." Pan moved his head to me.

"It sounds like you kids are in a bit of a mess at the moment. You say you were attacked by one Harpy?"

Ashlynn nodded. "Yes."

"Funny. Harpies like to travel in packs of two or three these days, and giants, theyre pretty big but not very smart. Such an attack would need them to have some sort of leadership."

I gulped. "How powerful would you need to be to boss around one of those things?"

"Very." Pans face was serious. "Some one or something is after you two. I can assure you now that it is not the Olympian gods. They hate giants and the only thing they use harpies for is target practice. Besides, if you pissed one of them off, they would just attack you with their element. Not beasts."

"Do you know if there is anything going on up in Olympus?" Asked Ashlynn. PAn just shrugged.

"I haven't been there since the war. I don't keep in touch with them much. I prefer it here."

He stopped to let us ponder a bit. He took some thing from his pocket. A joint. He lit it up and offered us a hit. I took one out of politeness. We needed sleep and the last thing we needed was both of us tripping out. I wasn't like I hadn't smoked dope before. I did it on occasion with friends.

"Just warning you man, that stuff is strong." Pan warned me AFTER I exhaled. I coughed a little and then I passed it over to Ashlynn. She took a little more than me. Actually a good bit more. Then she passed it back to Pan.

"Look, I'm not one for visitors," he took a hit. "But because of your situation and the fact that you know Atlanta, you can stay here. I don't want your monster buddies after me so I want you kids gone by tomorrow morning. Understand?" We nodded. That stuff was pretty strong. I felt relaxed already. Ashlynn was smiling crookedly. Pan stood up and walked back to the door as he put his shoes back on. "You kids should rest up. I'll be back tomorrow morning, if youre still here, I kick you out." He walked out gently closing the door.

We didn't hesitate going to sleep. Ashlynn was red eyed and laughing pointlessly but she drifted off pretty quickly. I wondered if she was getting any messages in her dreams. I din't think long before I was asleep too.

The past few dreams, I was unaware and scared. This time I was ready for what was coming and had some questions that I wanted answered on the tip of my tongue.

Here it goes I told my self.

I was in a street again, but this time it was day and the streets were bustling as normal. The clear blue water and the lukewarm sun signified that this was New Olympia. My goal here was simple; Find one of my parents.

It was quite easy actually. My dad was in a red truck with five other teenagers. I realized that they were all from the picture. There was my dad, my mum, Ashlynns parents, Odie, and the big guy who I was named after, Herry.

I jumped right into the car and started questioning away.

"Dad what is happening to me?"

No answer. He kept walking with his friends.

"Dad?" I asked even louder. No reply or eye contact.

"DAD!" I yelled that one. I noticed that despite my yelling, nobody turned to notice me. It was like I was a ghost.

Knowing better than to lose my head and voice by yelling, I decided to follow my dad and see what would happen.

The six of them stopped walking at a magasine stall. The vendor was an old, dreary man with a bald head and hippie sunglasses.

"There he is." I heard my dad say. "Thats the oracle."

The man looked up to them. "Ah, I knew sooner or later you would come to see me." The man had an aged and course voice. I was wondering why my dad called him the oracle.

"Thats an encouraging sign for an oracle." My dad commented. "Listen could you tell us where to find Neil?"

The old man looked over towards a bus. I soon noticed I was in the path of the bus. Being a ghost, I stayed put and sure enough, I flew right through the bus. Didn't feel it at all.

The others continued to stare at the bus. When Herry finally replied: "Thats Neil? He's a model?"

Mr Brook commented "Hey maybe hes a SUPER model." The others laughed and mocked the idea of a super model powers. I laughed at a few of them like the "Killer Smile" which came from an actually good looking girl who looked remarkably like Ashlynn, with significant stlye differences though. I noticed that it was here mom.

The old man interrupted the laughter. "So do you have any difficult questions that you might actually need an oracle for?"

My mother stepped up. "Yes. Where is Neil?" The old man grabbed her hand and puller her close to his wise looking face. He raised his sunglasses to reveal freaky glowing eyes. The words he spoke echoes through my head too.

"You don't need me to find him. The ability is within you." The words were as strong in my head as they were if I was face to face with him like my mother was. All of a sudden, everything paused in black and white. All except for me, and my dad. His voice was the one now that echoed through my head.

"Find this man. He has the answers you desire."

I woke up, not rigid upright or in a cold sweat, but my eyes were wide open like I had not even fallen asleep. Maybe it was the weed. I got out of my sleeping position in my sleeping bag on the floor to see Ashlynn looking at me. Her eyes were no longer red but her earphones were in as she sat on the couch. I shook the sleep out of my head and looked out the window. It was nighttime. I had slept for over 12 hours.

"Had a nice sleep?" She asked. I stood up and looked at her firmly.

"Ashlynn, I know where we need to go."

End of a longer chapter. Here is the next question for the reviews!

Who do YOU think is behind the attacks? I want to see if anyone gets it. :)
