Chapter 12
When everyone was sleeping I was still awake. Sitting at the begging of the sea on a cold rock. The only light was from to moon who was shining just above my head. I kept thinking about Iris message Percy, just to talk about my theory about dad. But I didn't know how so it was a lost case. With a stick I started drawing things in the wet sand, but as soon as I started the waves washed it away. That's just how life is, you start something and then someone comes and ruins it. I remember my essay about Poseidon. I think I was about 10 when I wrote it and I adored him. Everyone loved Zeus because he was the most powerful, but I saw it in a different way. He wasn't the most powerful, sure he ruled Olympus but still, for me he was the weakest. Power doesn't mean you're strongest. My opinion hasn't changed, even if I act like it.
We started moving when the sun was going up again. For the first time in days I smiled. It was just one of those beautiful days. "What are you smiling at?" Electra asked, walking next to me. She was a bit shorter than me, just some inches. Her red hair was a mess but she didn't seem to mind. "It's just one of those days when you can't help but smile" she kept looking at me, her dark blue eyes sparkling. "Where are you from" I then asked, because for real, I didn't know. "Seattle" Electra smiled at me and then looked at the sun. "Have you meet him, Apollo I mean" she looked down at her shoes before looking up at me "Once, It was on my birthday. He gave me a guitar" the sun was shining directly at her face, she seemed happy thinking of that moment. I wish I had a moment like that. "How about your mom?" it was properly not the best question for me to ask but it just blurt out. To my relief she answered "She lives in Seattle, she is a song writer" her smile grew bigger and she looked out at the road. I didn't judge her for not asking me anything, what could she ask? "Your mom then?" Electra then said. It ached a bit in my heart when she said that and I tried to keep my tears in. Who is my mom? I don't even know what she worked with. "She's dead" I then said, to answer her question. A swallowed and tried to see the ocean behind the trees. After some minutes of silence Electra said "I'm sorry" and she looked sorry. "It isn't your fault" I said, trying to keep my voice steady.
My legs were burning and I didn't understand how they were still moving forward. I looked to see everyone else walking slower than before. The sun was now in the top of the sky and sweat was running down my forehead. "Are we really going to walk all the way to Philadelphia?" I then asked trying to jog up to Maddie who was walking the fastest. "There's a bus stop not long away" Maddie said, sounding tired. And then I lost her because she walked to fast. I looked behind me to see Nico walking beside Electra, they were clearly talking because there mouth were moving. A smile grew on my face and my legs kept moving forward. And in that moment I forgot all about the rest of the world. It was just us four, walking on an empty road. Even if we didn't know each other, it felt like we had known each other for years.
