Thank you guys for all of the amazing reviews! This is for PplusAforever, for motivating me to write this as an early Christmas present. Let me know how everybody likes the story please, as an early Christmas present for me.

We all packed our bags and headed out the door. I could tell that Mathew was still suspicious of Zia, but Bianca seemed okay with it. I don't think she understood it, but I think she was okay with it.

Not looking at me, Mathew asks, "How are we getting to San Diego?"

"Train," Bianca and I say in unison. We share a smile with one another.

"There's a train station about ten minutes from here and the next train leaves at noon," I tell him. "And it's around eleven right now," I add.

They look at my with a How did you know that look on their faces. I grin and shrug in response. I'm going to let them believe that it was some magical powers of a grandchild of Athena, and no the lady at the front desk, who told me that.

O~O~O~O~O

When we got to the train station, we had thirty minutes to kill. The four of us claimed a bench text to the stop where our train would pull up. I think we were all happy that we weren't being chased at the moment, except for Zia, but I think that's because she's not used to being in the mortal world.

I kept help but wonder why she's been all of these years. I'm not sure how strong her scent would be, but it has to pretty strong. She didn't look too banged up when we found her, so that means she had to of been staying somewhere.

"I'm hungry," I said to nobody in particular.

"Same here," Bianca said.

"Then we'll just eat when we get off the train," Mathew said. I don't think was mad any more, but I knew he wasn't happy. Bianca and I both told that was fine while Zia just nodded silently.

"Just think; we have your mom by tomorrow," Bianca said excitedly to me.

I nodded and said, "I know, it's just that part of this doesn't make sense to me."

"What part?" Mathew asks me.

"Why would Hera take my mom? She could have taken me. It just doesn't make sense. It makes me think that we're missing something; something big," I tell them. I was about to say She could have taken me or Zia, but I cut myself off before I could.

"Train's here" Zia shouted. We all grabbed our backpacks, except for Zia because she didn't have one, and boarded the train.

Once we were on we found seats near the back, where there was an exit. I thought it would be better to hurt ourselves jumping out of a moving train, than getting killed by monsters because we couldn't get off fast enough.

We had gotten our own little cart, so it was just the four of us. As soon as we had gotten in the cart, Matt passed out. That is to say, he fell asleep. Bianca wasn't far behind him either.

They were on the same bench, but were as far away from each other as they could get. Mathew had his head against the door and Bianca had hers against the window. I was sitting across from Bianca and Zia was sitting by my side. All of our stuff was on the floor because it would be faster to just grab it if we had to make a quick getaway.

"Do you think they'll like me?" Zia whispered so softly I almost didn't hear her.

"Of course they will! They will love you," I say trying to comfort her.

"What if they don't remember me?" she asks me.

I knew it was a small possibility that they wouldn't remember her, so I said, "Then we'll find a way to get them to remember." She gave me a tiny smile and leaned into my, using my body like a pillow. I hesitantly put my arm around her and she smiled faintly. She fell asleep almost instantly after that.

I sat by myself for the rest of the ride, contemplating things. Analyzing different angles, and trying to figure out what I was missing. Maybe there was some secret motive Hera was playing at? It seriously bugged me that I didn't know. I knew that I would get it if I looked at it the right angle, but I just couldn't figure out what that angle was.

I stared out the window and watched the scenery. We passed some very dry areas and quite a few cities. Around an hour later, I noticed how close to San Diego we were. My guess was that we would be there in about twenty minutes, so I started to wake everybody up. I gently shook Zia awake and called Bianca's name until she responded.

I kicked Mathew, but he just groaned. Bianca and I just shared a look and I said, "Do you have water bottle?"

"No," she said, and shook her head.

"I do," Zia told me. She reached behind her and gave me a half-filled water bottle. I'm guessing that she got it from a vending machine back at the train station. I took the water bottle and unscrewed the lead.

I stood up and walked over to Matt. With one, swift movement, I dumped the water bottle on his head.

"AH!" he said, flailing his arms. His eyes flew open and he shouted, "I'm awake, I'm awake!"

Up until then, Bianca, Zia, and I had managed to keep our laughter in, but we couldn't hold it in any longer. The three of us burst out laughing; unfortunately, I still had the now emptied bottle in my hand so Mathew could tell it was me who had soaked me.

He narrowed his eyes and reached his hand out. I didn't realize what he was doing until it was too late. It took me a second, a second to long, to notice that he had his own water bottle in hand. Before I could blink, he had dumped it over my head, splashing Zia and Bianca a little.

"Hey," they both yelled.

I looked down at myself and frowned. I was soaking wet from head to toe and then…I wasn't. My two friends and my sister stared at me in shock. "The perks of being related to Poseidon" I said, grinning wickedly at Mathew. I planned on getting him back, but now wasn't time.

We had arrived in San Diego, California.

I know that might've been a bit boring, but I needed to put it in there. Zoë and Zia bonded and both Mathew and Zoë got soaking wet. Hopefully everyone enjoys this chapter and reviews because I would love it if that happened! I don't know when I will update this story again. It might tomorrow if I get enough reviews, or it could be a couple of days after Christmas, I just don't know.
