They walked to gas station on the side off Montauk highway, and, using a golden drachma, called for the cab of the Fates. It was late, sow they knew they would need to go straight to a hotel.

"Please take us to a hotel," Annabeth said

"Mortal or... otherwise," The Fate holding the yarn said.

"Just take us somewhere where we won't get killed in five minutes," Percy said, who was still tense and emotional, but managed to hold it together enough to just sound mildly annoyed.

"As you wish," they all said at once. In five minutes, they arrived at a normal-looking hotel, but the couple were still on their guard. "That will be 5 golden drachmas," the Fates said in unison.

Annabeth handed them 5 coins and exited the vehicle. They walked into the entrance of the hotel and were greeted by a mortal looking bellhop. "So far so good," Percy said.

The couple got a room, and took off early the next morning. Just a note, no, nothing of...that... nature occurred that night.

"Do you know exactly what we're supposed to be doing on this quest?" Percy said, keeping Annabeth close as they walked.

"Well, it just said, Shall roam across a country free, so I guess just seeing the sights and fighting monsters when we see them. I have to admit, this is a very generous quest of the gods. Almost unheard of," Annabeth replied.

"Which is why I think it's suspicious. Those last two lines make me really nervous though," I can't tell her. I don't want to make her as nervous as I am. I should just stop being nervous anyway, nothings going to happen to her, no while I'm around. Oh, who am I kidding. ANYTHING could happen to her, ESPECIALLY while I'm around. I just feel so powerless.

"I know what you mean," Annabeth interrupted his thoughts, looking at him, a concerned expression on her face, she pressed closer to him and smiled, "But it's not helping anybody to worry about it."

Percy looked down at her, and gave her a forced smile, then looked back ahead. "Come on to the subway, I want to show you something."

Sorry I took so long again for such a short chapter. But I did need to do a little reasearch for locations in a city I've never been to, so please don't hate me. I really like it when you guys tell me what you think so please review, and tell me what you like/what you think I need to improve!
