A/N: I am so bored! Here goes nothing! They are going to Las Vegas and then Death Valley. I map quested and it said Death Valley and Las Vegas were only 2 hours apart. I am being a little more loose with the language, now that I rated this a "T" story. Just a small warning…

Silena's POV:

I awoke to the flight attendant speaking over the loud speaker telling us that first class was boarding currently. There were people here now. Much more than before. I straightened up and found Charles with his head against the back of the chair, mouth open the slightest and snoring softly. I rubbed my eyes and shook him awake. He jumped and then blinked a few times. Now that it was light outside, I could see Dallas.

It was a bright sunny day and there was a freeway running by.

"Gate 3B for Las Vegas, NV is now loading seats 10-24. Seats 10-24 only please." The lady behind the counter announced. That was us. James came over from the counter and picked up his bag. We followed him onto the plane. Once we took our seats, I took the watch. Charles and James slept very soundly despite turbulence and the take off.

The only inconspicuous thing that happened on the plane while they were out, was I could have sworn I saw the same creepy guy we rode in the elevator with at Rachel's apartment. But it was a false alarm. I think…

Charles and James woke up when the plane touched down. We had to find Dad really quick so we hauled throughout the airport. I popped my seatbelt early and the plane was still slowly moving when we got our bags from the overhead compartment. The stewardess and pilot were not happy but we escaped before they could yell at us.

We passed the baggage claim and were out the door. A long line of taxis and buses were waiting for people to come out from their flights. Las Vegas was wonderful. So many bright lights and colors. I wished we could stay for a while. Charles taught me Texas Hold 'em when I was in the seventh grade and I kicked his ass.

James waved down a taxi and we climbed in.

"Death Valley, if that's possible." I said. It would be a two hour drive and I didn't know if a taxi could take us all the way there.

"Of course." said the taxi driver. His voice was oddly familiar. I had heard it recently. The voice he had was deep and gravelly. I dismissed the thought of knowing someone in Las Vegas.

We took off at the speed limit, exiting the exuberant colors of the brightly lit city. It was day time and the clock in the cab said 8:06 AM. If we got there in enough time, we would be able to start looking for Dad and have enough time. After we got on the deserted highway, James asked for the cab driver we were in a hurry and to pick up the pace. He did so and we were going faster than ever.

About 20 minutes into the drive he made conversation with us.

"What brings you kids out to Death Valley. It's really hot in this time of year." Again, that familiar voice.

"Sightseeing." Charles was a great liar. He was really quick and on his toes for the next question.

"Interesting. Why are you in such a hurry?"

"We uh have relatives we need to see but my sister has been wanting to see Death Valley forever."

"Why? There is nothing out here."

Charles stumbled on his answer to this one. "Um… You know how little kids are. Once they decide something they umm will stick with it for along time." He chuckled hoping the driver bought it.

"Yes. I know that is not the reason you want to see Death Valley."

I was so surprised, I could feel my face flush and my palms started to become sweaty. Butterflies started to do the tango in my tummy as it did somersaults over and over again. Charles and James turned ghostly pale. How did he know about Dad?

I was in the seat right behind him. I looked into the rearview mirror, only to see two glowing golden eyes staring back at me. My heart skipped a beat or two and my breath stopped for a second. I gasped and reached over to Charles knee. I squeezed it so hard but I never broke my gaze from the driver's eyes. He was really scaring me.

"You aren't going to make it very far. I actually have a feeling you aren't ever going to arrive at Death Valley young children." Then I understood whose voice it was.

It was the same man from the elevator and from the airplane. Charles made James look at my horrified face and I could feel his concerning stare on the tight hold I had on Charles's knee. With my other hand I pointed to the mirror. Charles and James looked at it. As soon as I heard their surprised gasps, I looked to see what they would say the plan is. All I saw was a moment of speechless on their faces.

"Who in the name of Hades are you?" James asked rather harshly.

The driver pulled off at an exit that was definitely not Death Valley. I didn't know where this crazy guy was going to take us, but I didn't want to know.

"You haven't figured it out yet? I am the Titan, Prometheus." Charles pulled off his key and I readied my bow as much as I could in a moving vehicle. James fingered the hilt of his sword. We were ready. I haven't fought a titan. I could go down but I was going to go down fighting like a badass.

Prometheus pulled over into a remote alley. He parked the car and climbed out with inhuman speed. Charles, James and I got out so that we had the car in front of us and Prometheus. The only bad part was there was a brick wall behind us, so there was no where to go. It felt like a scene from a movie where the victim put his or herself into a horrible situation.

Charles unlocked his sword and James pulled out his from his pack. I notched an arrow and got ready to pull back.

"It's a pity you won't be able to say goodbye to your father." He unsheathed a sword from hidden pocket in his trousers. He put on an evil grin. "If you haven't figured out, I am going to kill you very soon." He laughed and I could feel the ground shake.

"Screw it." I muttered and pulled back an arrow. It miserably passed his ear, missing only by an inch. Charles and James charged at him and started fighting. Maybe we had a chance. Three demigods to one Titan? I had my hopes up until I saw his maneuvers. Prometheus fought the two as if they were just simply a small wind trying to knock over a mighty pine tree.

I jumped onto the car's hood and took my place. I decided they would fight him and I would stand back and try to launch as many successful arrows as I could.

I saw my chance. He was holding off Charles and James and wasn't paying attention to me. I aimed another one at Prometheus and it hit his shoulder. I notched another and before he had the chance to turn around and understand what had hit him, I hit him again in the butt. I smiled as I watched golden blood pour out from his hilarious wounds. Gold was different but I was getting used to the different that presented itself all the time.

Charles landed a blow with his fist to the Titan's jaw. James attempted to strike Prometheus win the gut but he was too fast. He kicked James in the chest and sent him flying towards a dumpster. He hit his head and a bit of blood started to drip down his forehead. During his moment of triumph, I watched my arrows sprout themselves on many places on his strong body.

James acted like his head injury was only a paper cut and went back to fighting along side with Charles. I could tell we were slowly tearing the titan down. James made several impressive jabs. Charles planted some dangerous and harmful blows. I had shot so many arrows, my fingers were becoming calloused but they did help overall.

I watched as Prometheus moved to the taxi and flipped it rapidly. I was still on top and I fell off. I made contact with the wall up really high. As gravity took over, I could feel the rough brick wall run fast against my skin as I fell. I landed with a thump on the ground. In a heap, I turned on my front and lifted myself with my elbows and knees.

"SILENA!" Charles yelled.

The only injuries I had were severe scraps against the side of my face from where I hit the wall, and I could feel a few bruised starting to form on my side when I landed. Damn it was hurting a lot.

I started to jump up and get back to the fight when I was kicked in the gut. The wind was knocked out of me. My breath stopped leaving me gasp for air. This was going to leave a mark. I was kind of getting tired of being beat up. First at the Dallas airport, and now…

A strangled cry left my lips. One similar to mine echoed in the alleyway. I looked up to see a sword sticking out from Prometheus's stomach. He smiled at me as if the sword wasn't an out of the ordinary thing.

"I'll be back." He said. The sword disappeared, as the owner pulled it back out.

Prometheus started to glow a bright gold, almost the color of his horrifying eyes.

"Look away NOW!" That was James's voice. I did as I was told and watched from the inside of my eyelids. A bright light erupted and then it died down. That exit was rather grand I thought, as I felt a hand on my shoulder. I rolled on my back and allowed my eyes to open. Charles was hovering above me. James rushed up and grabbed his backpack on the way. They knelt next to me.

"Silena, are you ok? You scared me so much!" Charles asked, flying so many concerning questions. James pulled out a square of ambrosia from his pack. I was really starting to appreciate the whole "I-am-the-son-of-Apollo! I-can-cure-people" thing. It was really working for him.

My face was starting to burn. It hurt a lot and I was still having a hard time breathing from the dangerously harmful kick I scored.

James handed me the candy like substance and I ate it happily. To me it tasted like potatoes chips. Ruffles-my favorite! He then found a dry rag in his bag and got it wet with nectar. With half of the rag, he applied some to my cheek, rubbing it in kindly. With the other half, he pressed to his own forehead.

"What do we do now?" Charles asked.

James zipped up his pack leaving the rag out so he could apply pressure to his gash. I looked at the car. It was in perfect shape, despite some scratches. Somehow, the titan flipped the car in a perfect 360, and it landed back onto it's tires.

"Road trip anyone?"

A/N: I don't know if Titans can glow like the Gods do but, whatever J Enjoy your day! Let me know if you want me to PM you when I update next. I would be more than happy to do so.
