Chapter 13
We sat now on a bus our way to Philadelphia. Maddie had some mortal money, like they called it, and could pay for our tickets. It wasn't so much of a view, most trees. Nico sat next to me and behind us Maddie and Electra was sitting. There wasn't so many people, just us four and some old people. The bus was hot even if a window was opened and sometimes I could feel the wind blow in my face. Nico kept looking at the floor and I didn't know what to do. Because of my ADHD I could never sit still for more than 10 minutes and then I would get bored, like now. How would I survive this bus ride?
The view had changed and some house was seen from the window next to me. The houses was in different sizes, some were big and some were small. I pressed my head to the window and tried to get a better look at the buildings that had started to form. It looked a little bit like New York, but in a whole new era. Next to me I could see that Nico also wanted to look but tried to hide it. "It's really cool" I then said to him, still looking out. I had never been so fascinated in buildings but I missed New York a little bit and this was the closet I could come. Behind me Maddie was literally pressed to the window, wanting to see everything. She was a daughter of Athena so I supposed that was normal. We started to roll into the city and everything looked so normal. I had always thought that it was just old people and weirdoes who lived in Philadelphia but I guess I was wrong. Moms and dads was walking with their children's on the streets, teenagers and adults was walking with shopping bags and it all looked just like a normally day in someone life. All the kids looked so happy, holding their parents hand and jumping around. It all made me so sad so I stopped looking. Nico also stopped looking I noticed, he started looking at the floor like he had done ten minutes ago. This was what I had always dreamed of, what the kids on the street now did. Holding one of my parents had and knowing that I wasn't alone, that I had someone who would protect me no matter what. Having normal days when the family would sit by the dinner table and just talk about everything. But I would never have that.
The bus driver was nice and stopped exactly where we wanted to. The bus drive away and we was left looking at some terraced houses. They were red and the roof was white. "I think it's that house" Maddie then said, pointing at the house at the end. No one said a word and we started moving, something was going happen, I could feel it. We walked up the short stairs and stopped at the front door. We stood there a few minutes until Electra sighed and knocked. It didn't take long before the door swung open, almost hitting me and Nico. A boy stood in the door looking at us with surprised eyes. He had ruffled brown hair that was pointing everywhere. Big brown eyes that gazed everyone of use carefully. The boy was about the same height as me and looked about fourteen years old. I took a step forward and stared at him before asking "What's your name?" he looked at me for a while before saying "Alex Smith" he kept scanning us and I shifted leg. "Who are you?" he then said resting his back on the doorframe. "I'm Eldoris Jacobson, daughter of Poseidon…" that was proberly the first time I had presented myself like that but it didn't stop Alex from raising his eyebrow and saying "Poseidon? Like that Greek god?" I looked around for support but no one said anything, I guess no one had ever done something like this. "Can we come in?" I then asked and Alex nodded.
