Thanks for the awesome reviews guys! :)

HoneyG: Are you hitting on me?

Let me remind you all that Cronus is not only defeated, he is DEAD.

None of you have got the right answer, and I'm still not sure to be honest who it is either. :/

For a heads up, in my mind New Olympia is where Vancouver would be.

"Are you mad?" Ashlynn stared at me as I told her about my dream.

"Nope, we have to go to New Olympia and find this guy called The Oracle." I reminded her.

"So you are going to because your subconscious is telling you to?"

"No, because my dad is telling me to." She turned her head sideways. Confused. I sighed.

"Look, I don't know how or why, but I feel that my dad is trying to talk to me in my dreams. It has happened many times, he also reached me in the cemetery. He WARNED me to get out of there. He is trying to help us Ashlynn."

She stared at me for a minute. "You are the strangest guy I have ever met, but I like you." Our eye contact disconnected and she walked towards the fridge.

"So are you with me on this?" I asked. She took out a jar or pickles.

"I don't know. New Olympia is on the far side of the country, we can't take a plane because if we were risking others at home, imagine how many we would risk at an airport. That means we would have to drive and its a long way. The other thing is, almost all of the people want our parents' heads on plates. It will be dangerous for us there."

"Its dangerous for us everywhere now. At least if we go there, we can get ourselves answers." I replied. Ashlynn was not very persuasive. "Where else will we go?"

She relaxed her shoulders after trying to open the jar of pickles. With no luck, she handed it to me, figuring that my super strength would solve the problem. I opened it no problem. She smirked. I handed her back the jar.

"You know what, youre right. I can't think of any better plan. Might as well follow your fantasy idea on this." She looked outside from her chair. "We should start going once sun rises. It will be a long drive."

"It will be at least a week or two before we get there. we should get a little more rest."

"Ditto." She said. Ashlynn rose up from her chair and lay on her sleeping bag. She smiled at me. "That chair of yours looks rather uncomfortable. Come lie here with me."

I smiled back and rose out of my chair. I went over to the kitchen and grabbed some potato chips. I placed the bag down between us. as I sat ontop the soft tissue of the mattress, my butt landed on something hard. I lifted the foam mattress to see the book that Ashlynn's dad had given me.

"No way, you brought that with you?" She joked.

"I didn't recall packing it. I guess I must have brought it here my accident." I blushed. She was probably wondering why I was reading her dads book. Even though I never started.

"Well, we have plenty of free time, why don't you read it?" Ashlynn suggested. She was right. We were going to have a lot of empty time on ur hands when we wern't driving or fighting for our lives. I shrugged, grabbed a handful of chips, lay down into a comfortable position on my side towards Ashlynn, and opened the first page.

"Have you read it?" I asked her.

"Not by myself, but my dad used to read me bits and pieces when I was little. It was when he was still writing it and he wanted my opinion. Being the little girl I was, I told him they were all great."

I laughed and she smiled meekly. I turned to the fist volume of the series.

Chaos 101.

I read the first few chapters before I started to feel sleepy. I bookmarked and dozed off, facing the dark, wooden ceiling.

It was the first dreamless night in days. It was partially because I had one around 20 minutes beforehand and the fact that neither of us slept for long. We soon woke to a peeking sun which glowed over the horizon. We both quickly got our things repacked and ready to leave. At exactly 7AM, Pan showed up.

"You kids know where you're going?" He asked kindly.

"New Olympia." Ashlynn warmly replied. Pan chuckled.

"Thats a long way. Come in for a sec, I have some things I want to give ya."

"Great, more heirlooms." I whispered sarcastically to Ashlynn. She laughed as we entered the log cabin one more time. Pan was searching through a chest beside the couch. He took out a dusty old book and a necklace.

"Herry, this is for you." He handed me the book. "It might help you out on your travels." I looked at the title.

"Greek encyclopedia to monsters, beasts, and other beings." I read aloud. I realized that this could help us out if we came across a certain creature that was trying to kill us.

"Thanks." I said as I shoved it into my rucksack. Pan then looked seductively at Ashlynn, who looked at little surprised by the sly smile.

"Your mother left this behind the last time she came hunting. She seemed to have left it behind on purpose. I don't know why, but I am sure that it will have more use with you.: Ashlynn looked at it. It was a pendant on a gold chain with the letter A carved into the back. Ashlynn looked up again to have the god hug her firmly.

"I may be a god, but your mother changed my life forever. If you see her again, tell her that. For me." He let her go gently. He looked to us both now. "You guys better get going. You have a long and dangerous road ahead."

And with that, we waved goodbye to the god and hopped into the truck. He waved as we skidded out of his driveway. We would never see him again.

We hit the Trans Canada Highway in no time. Such a highway was not busy in the middle of a work day. It extended all the way from the Maritimes to New Olympia. Just where we needed to go. It was the fastest route availible an sure enough, we were flying through. Besides a few pee breaks, coffee breaks and lunch at Wendy's, we spent our time in the car.

Ashlynn was lucky that she couldn't legally drive. I had to stay awake for many hours, focusing on the road.

"So where will we crash tonight?" I asked.

"The nearest town will be Thunder Bay. I'm sure there is some Motel or something we could stay at." She said as she looked out the window. She suddenly had some urge to reach for the back seat.

"What is it?" I asked.

"When you were writing your letter back at the house, I grabbed a guitar from your basement."

"Did you get a bass too?"

"Yup"

"Acoustic?"

"Both." I looked at her.

'Youre the best you know that?" She smiled.

"I know." She started playing relaxed chords. She placed the head so that it wasn't in my face and played all the way to Thunder Bay.

By 5PM we had rented out a one night room at a cheap motel outside of the town of Thunder Bay. As we settled down, I noticed there was only one bed. we both blushed. We had become good friends but we were not comfortable enough to share a bed.

"Flip a coin?" She awkardkly offered.

'I'm calling heads." I said as I flipped a penny out of my pocket.

Tails. Damn, Ashlynn had the bed for the night. As I set up my sleeping bag, she jumped into the soft mattress. She rolled over and looked at me.

"You know, we should go into town for dinner and see what else is going on."

I liked the idea. "well what are we waiting for?"

Ashlynn had quite the knack for finding places and things. We sat down at a moderatly posh italian restaurant. After we ordered our meal, we talked a bit.

"I don't get it." Ashlynn said. "You get family fortunes, cars and I get a silly little necklace." She was wearing the pendant around her neck. It didn't exactly go with her skinny black jeans and white shirt, but who was I to judge?

"So did you see any neat places to go after dinner?" I suggested.

"Well, theres a dance club which looks pretty neat. Its all ages and it beats the next door strip club.

"That works for me."

We finished our food, which was delicious. I had fettucini alfredo and she had gnocci marinara. we walked down to the dance club. We bought the tickets and entered. There were alot of people our age. Alot of GOOD LOOKING people of our age. The place was littered with neon glowsticks and shining tinsel. The bass was so loud it felt like an earthquake was trembling. It was the life and soul of a good time. I don't dance much, but once I get going, I change personalities and become friendly with everyone. It met lots of people in that club. There were a group of guys who where trying to wheel some girls and failing miserably. There were a few girls who offered bjs to all the guys. It was obvious that the answer was no. And there was one guy who didn't seem to want to dance. I dragged him in and he ended up becoming just as hyped up as I was. Ashlynn was having a good time too. She was pretty crazy. Then again, she was crazy already. She was talking to a bunch of guys who were trying to hook up with her. It was funny to watch as she strongly rejected them all. We talked a bit with each other too, but only as much as we chatted with everyone else. It was around 9:15PM and I was talking to the wheeling guys when a team of equally hot, equally slut looking girls came in. One of them eyed me immediately. She had curled brown hair, big boobs and was wearing a short red skirt. She was sexy. She came up to me and gave me a seductive tap on the shoulder. She whispered in my ear.

"Can you come with me for a sec?"

Hooked by her good looks and her interest in me, i followed her out to the back of the building. It was an alleyway with nobody around. She closed the door shut behind us.

"So, you from outta town?"

"Uh yeah I guess-" I was stopped midsentance. She suddenly grabbed me by the throat and pinned me against the wall.

"Herryy." She hissed. Her voice had changed. It was coarse and haggish. I realised that her appearance had changed too. She was an old haggish looking woman. Her skin was green and she had wings and a tail. It matched Ashlynns description of a harpie perfectly.

She had me pinned against the wall but my hands were free. U used all my strength and pulled her fingers away from my throat. She had quite a grip but I managed to rip her hand from my gasping neck. With my feet on the ground, I felt that the fight was now in my favour. I swung a at her abdomen, she blocked it but that punch was just the distraction. My right leg hooked around her ankles and I flung her into the ground. With her pinned down, I knocked her out with a punch to the temple. I stood up from the unconcious monsters's grasp.

"That is SICK AND WRONG." I yelled. "I would have hooked up with you too but no, you had to try and KILL ME!"

I realized that there were more in the club. The other girls that came in with her must have been other harpies. I had to get Ashlynn and get out of there. I ran for the door. It was locked. I had to run back to the front, show the ticket guy my ticket, and find her. I found her talking to some guy.

"Look Ashlynn, we need to get out of here." I told her. She laughed.

"Why? We're having so much fun here."

"Look" I said, leaning in to whisper. "I just got attacked by a harpie. There are others here too."

The grin disappeared from her face. I noticed she had noticed the team of girls looking at us from the far side.

"Yeah good idea lets get outta here." We both left together in a rush. the man she was originally was talking to tried to quickly ask for her number. We barged past him with close to no regard. If we didn't leave, we would be in serious trouble.

And it looked like trouble was following us. Sure enough, the team of girls came out, following us. There were three of them.

"I've got an idea." I whispered to Ashlynn. She heard my idea and agreed to it. We picked up the pace into the same alleyway I had just been in. the first harpie was still knocked out on the ground. The others followed us into the alleyway but once they turned the corner, we were gone. They investigated the body of their friend.

"GO!" I yelled and both ashlynn and I jumped down from the roof on to two of the harpies. I hit mine right in the noggin and got her out of the fight early. Ashlynn had landed on the others shoulder and was wrestling it on the ground. That left me and the other. This one was larger than the others and it lunged at me. I dodged her quickly and elbowed her in the back. It sent her flying into the first harpy who was regaining conciousness. Now she had another harpie on top of her. Meanwhile Ashlynn rolled on top of the Harpy but it just pushed her off. It went for a swing but Ashlynn, all of a sudden she gutted it with her foot. It was as fast as lightning and the Harpie fell onto the pile. Now there were four defeated harpies on the ground.

"Woah," I said, stepping back after the adrenaline.

"Woah? I didn't even know I COULD fight like that!" screamed Ashlynn.

"Lets get out of here before they wake up." I recommended. She agreed and we drove back to the motel without stopping.

"Well that was... ...scary." Ashlynn concluded once we reached the room.

"OK from now on, lets sick together."

"Agreed. Well that tired me out. I'm hitting the bed."Ashlynn popped into the bathroom, then fell instantly to sleep the second she touched the bed.

I decided to read my book some more. I had identified all of the seven heroes in the book. Mr Brook had gone all the way with basing them off. hey were named the same too. I was at chapter 7 when things got interesting to me. The team was on a truck to meet the oracle. When they found him they asked him who and where a boy named Neil was. It got really freaky to me when the Oracle held Theresa, my mothers hand and spoke:

You don't need me to find him. The ability is within you.

The words echoed through my head like they did last night. I closed the book and turned off the lamp. It struck me the second the lights went out.

The book wasn't fictional. Those things actually happened. Cronus escaped from tartarus and released Typhon. My dad along with five others defeated it. I knew, becuase I realized that what my dad showed my in my dreams, were his memories.

That was a long one. I don't have a question for today. Sorry :(

Please review and have a good day!
