The bed of the new Aphrodite camper was comfortable, more comfortable than Abby's bunk. She smoothed the covers down with her hands as her new friend, Maddie, plopped down next to her. She looked at the daughter of Neptune waiting for an explanation of why she looked like a super model, "I am not happy right now." Maddie said and heaved a sigh. Abby looked at her and laughed lightly when the girl tried to mess up her hair and nothing happened.
"It happens." Abby said simply and looked at Maddie, giving the girl a slight shrug, "Mine wasn't all that glamorous though..." Abby said laughing a bit.
"Stop laughing." Maddie commanded and Abby instantly did as she was told. The Aphrodite girl crossed her arms triumphantly.
"Charm speaker much..." Abby mumbled under her breath.
As time passed, Nathan had knocked on the door of the Aphrodite cabin and Maddie had opened the door to let him in. He had plopped down on Maddie's bunk, right next to Abby, "SO." Abby said once Maddie was close. "I have come to the conclusion that you two should come on my quest. There is another person, but we will have to get him."
"Why are you talking so professional like?" Maddie asked laughing.
"Cause it cool..." Abby cooed and then laughed. Nathan laughed a bit before speaking.
"So we are gonna pick him up? How old is he?"
Abby thought for a second and shrugged, "Sixteen or seventeen. He's the closest thing I got to family."
After the small meeting, Abby went to her cabin to pack up. At her door stood and angry Jason, "Why didn't you tell about your quest?!" He said, his blue eyes shocking. He was close to Abby, he was also always worried about her too.
"I..." Her words faltered and she looked at him. He looked down at her and she held her head down. Her new and sudden interest was the rubber of her Chuck Taylor converse.
"What is it? Who are you bringing?" He bombarded Abby with questions one they had went inside her cabin. Percy seemed to missing. Abby brought out her blue back pack and started packing for the quest.
"The quest? Non-of-your-business. Who I am bringing? Also non-of-your-business." Abby snickered a bit when Jason heaved a sigh of annoyance. She looked at Jason one last time before swinging her backpack onto her shoulder. She checked her watch on her left wrist and gave Jason an impatient look. She was suppose to meet up with Maddie and Nathan in five minutes at the Pegasus Stables.
"Abigail Ryker!" Jason said and Abby flinched a bit. "I am still your Praetor. Tell me-." Jason was cut off by Abby's words.
"No! No! NO!" Abby yelled, "I do not want to have you in charge of me!" Abby yelled. Jason was implying that he didn't trust her decisions and that was what set Abby off. She looked at Jason with a glare before walking out of Cabin 3, leaving the son of Jupiter in a stupor at her own words.
Abby was five minutes late. Maddie and Nathan were talking when Abby came over. Once she was insight, their conversation immediately ended. "So, I think if we go on Pegasus back, it will be quick and easy. I'm just praying that Jupi-... Er Zeus doesn't zap me out of the sky. She looked at her quest mates and Nathan looked at her concerned. Abby smiled lightly to show that it was alright.
Nathan took a horse that was one of his half siblings, a red roan Pegasus with white wings. Maddie had her own Pegasus, a pure white Pegasus, the mare's eyes shining just like precious metals. They mounted and Abby looked at her confused. "Don't you have a Pegasus Abby?" She looked around and Abby just laughed.
Her whistled loud, as if she was hailing a taxi cab in New York City. For a moment there as silence, then out of the white clouds that were formed in the, now, blue sky. She looked at Maddie and Nathan with satisfaction when she heard a whinny.
You! Abby! Long time, no see! Eron's voice boomed in Abby's mind, because she was a daughter of the creator of horses, Maddie and Nathan didn't understand the whinnies of a horse or Pegasus. When Eron landed, his stormy gray coat shined in the light. Abby mounted quickly and they were ready, "Next stop: Camp Jupiter!" Abby yelled before taking off.
