Chapter Three
Evelyn
How can the scenes in the dreams be true? I thought to myself.
"Evelyn?" I jumped.
"Are you okay?" Clover peered down at me.
"Yeah, maybe, um...no?" I replied.
Clover chuckled. "That's three very diffrent responses." I shrugged.
"Not that I don't want you here, but why are you still here?" I asked.
"I was on my way to visit some family in New York" Clover started slowly.
"And?"
"And I happen to pass by your school and bumped into you and through you met Aunt Rachel again." I shivered despite the heat. The dreams still haunt me. How could the Greek world of mythology exist?
"Aunt Rachel?" I repeated. "Is she your parent's sister?"
Clover shook her head. "No, but she's a close friend of my parents along with other demi...I mean people."
"Who's your parents?" I asked.
"Grover and Juniper Underwood." Clover replied.
"Where do they live?"
"Um...it's late, why don't we go to sleep?" Clover suggested. I narrowed my eyes, she's avoiding my question.
I opened my mouth to said something else when a roar shattered a few window panes...
Clover
I cursed. The lydian drakon! How could Evelyn be sooo unlucky. ANd her last name is Jackson. Can she be a relative of Percy? Wait! That's not possible because Percy explained that his mother had no family left after her uncle died of cancer so how could it be...
"Evelyn, run!" I screamed. Evelyn stared at the drakon blankly.
"My dreams...Mother Calla, the guy named pERCY..." sHE MURMURED. Dreams?!
"Evelyn, find Aunt Rachel!" I called.
Evelyn stared at me. Anxioius, I grabbed her hand and pulled her down the hall to a paint splattered room.
"Aunt Rachel!" I said. Rachel Dare was already packing a bag, stuffing in ambrosia, nectar, and first aid kits.
"Go!" She said to me.
"What about you?" I asked.
Aunt Rachel smiled grimly at me. "I had always been prepared for an attack, with so many demigods I find."
"After you're gone, I'll send a Iris messege to Percy for him to send out rescue teams, the defenses the gods gave me will be enough to hold the drakon for a few weeks." Another roar.
"What are you waiting for? Run!" Aunt Rachel screamed as she tossed me the bag.
I grabbed Evelyn's hand and pulled her along.
She is still dazed and muttering things like "Rachel Elizabeth Dare. Drakon. Destined to be kiilled by child of Ares. Greek Mythology..."
I pushed opened the back door and pushed her. After we ran few blocks away I shook her shoulders.
"Evelyn, c'mon run!" I said, nearly in hystericals.
Evelyn is still dazed. I stared at her gray eyes and said seriously "Evelyn Bianca Jackson, listen to me!"
Evelyn jerked awake. "How do you know my middle name?" She asked, surprised.
"Aunt Rachel told me." I started to pulled her along again and this time she complied and followed.
"Who is she? I saw in my dreams that she was with two girls and a boy and a...a centaur!" The truth finally hit her.
"The world of Greek mythology is real?" Evelyn whispered. I nodded.
"But who is Rachel Elizabeth Dare actually?" She asked again.
"Who did you saw her with... in your dreams, I mean." I said quickly, wanting to avoid the question as long as I can.
"A girl with blond hair and grey eyes like mine, a girl with spiky black hair with a silver bow, and a boy named...Percy." Evelyn replied. "Is he the Percy Jackson you asked me about?"
I nodded. "He's Percy Jackson- the savior of Olympus twice, holder of the sky, survivor of Tartarus, Defeater of Gaea, Bane of the Titans and Giants, and other titles which I frankly don't want to say,"
"And the girl with blond hair is Annabeth Chase-now Annabeth Jackson and the girl with spiky black hair and Thalia Grace." I replied.
"Who's Rachel then." Evelyn pressed.
"Um..." I stammered.
Evelyn glared at me. "You're still avoiding the question."
"Fine, I give in." I sighed. "Rachel Elizabeth Dare is our part-time oracle..."
