Chapter 4

The Road to Camp

Eirny's POV

As I tended to Rick's eye to help with the swelling I looked over as Auryon was sleeping in the passenger seat and Grady driving, thankfully Auryon has minor influence over the mist so she makes the person driving seem older as to not cause anybody get suspicious. Some things I notice about Auryon is that she has shoulder length blond-red hair with green eyes that have a gold ring (A/N the siblings eye's and hair are based of mine and my sibling's and they're caucasian) she also has an average body size for a 15-year old being 5' 7'', as the sun was shining on her skin it seemed to absorb it naturally while keeping her skin a light tan from her time working for the olympians, she has very keen accuracy so her eyes always seem to be sharp, but her body is more like an olympic (modern day) gymnast, this helps suit her as she mostly uses the same fighting style that Grady trained her in doing, never let the enemy be able to react, just keep on hitting them with fast moving weapons or fists and keep on doing till they are exhausted,which then use heave hits, or defeated, her voice is like that of a chime, it's soft but hearable, but not annoying.

Grady was a definitely taller than Auryon standing at 5' 10'' and having a body mixture of a swimmer and a runner, but more of the runner end as he never swims, his hair is a thick auburn color his eye color is a dark blue with green streaks and a gold ring, something interesting though is his eye's get lighter with water, once in a mission in niagara falls his eyes turned grey from all the mist, he has more darker tanned skin then his sister. He's likes to use speed for his advantage and will use any chance he see's in most battles, like when he threw a dagger in the air causing the enemy to look upward then proceeded to rush them and wait till the dagger fell to stab him, his eye's are always on the lookout collecting as much of the environment as he can, even though he uses speed as advantage, he can easily take the hits and deal them out, he is not at all good with long ranged things preferring up close, but will use if needed. His voice is more rough and deep, but you can still sense kindness in his voice, his voice is rough because when he was younger he got punched in the thought and cut under his chin giving him a scar, it's covered up though whenever he decides to let a beard grow out, but right now it shows since he shaved.

These two, well I couldn't ask for anyone else as a family, a good motto that Grady goes by is that "blood makes you related loyalty makes you family" and I do think that is a good viewing on the world. Grady turned on the radio and it started playing the news, it was nothing too important, just something to distract us for a while until we got to our destination.

A few hours pass and Rick takes the wheel so he can drive himself to his neighborhood and after that I took the wheel and let Grady get some sleep, as far as I can tell there were going to be only 5 of us going to half-blood. The two siblings, me, and these twins that were hephaestus kids that he asked us to watch until we took them to camp.

Several hours have passed as we were getting closer to long island, we were officially in New York City, Grady was driving again as Auryon and I were making sure everything was prepared for when we leave and head to camp.

"Hey Alexia, leave out my sword, I have a strange feeling I'm going to need it." Grady said calling me by my middle name, I don't blame him for using my middle name more than my first, it's a lot easier to pronounce.

"Sure I will."

He gave me a smile as a thanks. As we were getting closer there seemed to be a cloud blocking out the sun come out of nowhere, and as soon as it blocked out the sun it got bright again. I looked at Grady and saw a face that spells terrified, his eyes widen and his grip tighten on the driver's wheel. He turned around to say something to the rest of us which is when we could see the true fear on his face.

"Grab somet-"

Before he could finish the sentence the van was hit on the side and sent flying.
