SoftWare: Thinks are getting interesting, aren't they? (Rhetorical)

Shelby: Yep.

Phoebe: Who's the next Hunter?

SoftWare: To quote Affabel, "all will be revealed in time."

Thalia: Can I step on the next monster's face?

SoftWare: It has nine faces.

Thalia: What?

Chapter Six

Train to Denver

In a town in New Jersey, we got lost, and it was a cold day, and my jacket wasn't cutting it. So, as we were looking for

someplace warm, a homeless guy called to us. "Hey! Kids! Need to get warm? Fire's over here!" We gladly walked over.

"You kids headed somewhere?" "Denver." "You're in luck. That freight train with a load of cars goes to Denver in a few

minutes." We looked at it. I turned back to him and said, "Thanks, mist-." He was gone. Thalia looked confused, and I

didn't blame her. We got onto the train and found three cars. Thalia got into a Mustang, Shelby and Phoebe took a

Prius, and I got into a Camaro. Yes, people. I like Camaros. Anyways, I had a weird dream. I saw this blond guy making

up a really bad poem. As the dream ended, and I woke up, I said, "That was weird." "You kidding?" Somehow, I wasn't

surprised to see the homeless guy sitting next to me in the Camaro. "Dreams tell me a lot of things. Then again, so do

prophecies." He then closed his eyes dramatically.

"Dreams are like windows.

You look outside to see things.

All you see are dreams."

(A/N- I know that's bad, but I had to come up with something.)

"Apollo?" I guessed, since I figured that was supposed to be a haiku. He grinned at me. "Not bad, nephew. I've been

watching you lately." I decided not to comment on that. "What do you want?" He didn't stop grinning. "Just like your

mother, you know that?" I didn't answer. "Yep. Just like her. I came to give you this. A peace offering." He handed me

a tiny bow, but, considering what I'd seen in the movies, I got curious. I found a switch on it and threw it.

It popped out into a long bow. "A Hawkeye bow from the Avengers." He grinned. "Exactly." I gave him the hairy

eyeball. "What about a quiver?" "It's in the trunk. Tell your mother I said hi!" With that, he disappeared. I knew I would

have to explain it to the Hunters, but I decided it wasn't that important, so it could wait till morning.
