In Different Places PT3

Nikita

"Over there!" Antonella exclaimed. RECAP! Well, we figured out that we had to find two other people. Go to a river that has the biggest tide I have ever seen on the 6th (AN On a real calendar, on the sixth of May in year 2016, there is a full moon. See why?). My dad and I always would want to see it together. So, I told him about my friend who would like to see it. We spent the rest for the day together and talking about the prophecy and other matters. That was all yesterday.

Today, my dad was feeling really sick. So, we decided to go without him. He says it'll be fine though. That was an opportunity to go… aaand that was the time we told him about the prophecy. He knew this would happen and let us go fulfill the prophecy. So here we are. Antonella and I are now walking down the river waiting for the night and the largest tide.

"So…" Antonella said.

"Are you alright Ella?" I asked. She was my friend and I was determined to help her.

"Yeah. It's just that… I'm scared."

"Scared of what? Animals? Air? Anchors? Armadillos? Ankles? Bears? Bats? Beasts? Beans? Bombs? Cars? Cats? Cards? Compost? Cucumbers? Dares? Dogs? Demons? Dark? Dim lighting?-"

"Nikita." Antonella said calmly.

"Emeralds? Elephants? Eagles? Frogs? Fog? Fears? Falling? Faces? Ghosts? Gardens? Garbage? Gear? Goals? Horses? Huts? Hippos? Hair? Horns? Iguanas? Igloos?-"

"Injuries? Jungle gyms? Jungles? Jams? Jars? Joints? Killing people? Karts? Komodo dragons? Keys? Karma? Llamas? Lakes? Limbos? Life? Living? Marble? Meat? Mares? Monograms? Me?-"

"NIKITA."

"Narwhals? Neatness? November? Octopuses'? Open spaces? Oxygen? Oblivion? Oceans? Pigs? WAIT! Who can be scared of pigs (Sorry to the people who are actually scared of pigs!)? I love them! Promises? Pictures? Politics? Pompeii? Queens? Quails? Quarters? Quimby my best friend? Quadruplets?-"

"NiKiTa!" She said more sternly.

"Renegades? Reflections?-"

"NIKITA REKEN!" Antonella shouted.

"Yeah?" Nikita said stopping from naming things. "What 'ja need? I didn't get to finish my list though. But, what are you scared of?"

"I'm scared of disappointing people. They're counting on us to save the day. Aren't you worried?"

"ME? Well of course I am! How could I not be worried?"

"Then, how do you hide the fear?"

"As I remember from a book." Nikita said." Someone said that laughter hides that pain. That is totally correct! Laughter is the perfect remedy in a broken heart. C'mon, laugh!" But Antonella wasn't laughing. She was in a ball next to her on the river bank. "D-d-did I insult you?" Nikita said worried. "I'm sorry if I did." But instead, Antonella was laughing like crazy.

"Y-y-you should've s-s-seen th-the look on y-y-y-your face! Priceless!" Antonella said between laughs.

"Always here to help!" Nikita said cheerfully like nothing ever happened.

Right then, the sun was setting. The water was churning. Faster and faster. So fast, that Nikita and Antonella had to move up. It was as fast as lightning. The Missouri River grew wider and wider by the minute.

"I've never seen it…" Nikita muttered to herself. Then a tunnel appeared. The girls peered inside and saw stairs and dark figures. They were getting closer and closer to the exit. Soon enough, there were Naiads with spears proudfully marching out of the tunnel. Then there was a man. A man in a blue robe and a trident. It was Neptune, the god of seas, rivers, and fathers of Naiads.

Kallithea

Brooke

Non-stop traveling. From the starting point to here. But being the oldest one here means that I take all responsibility and have to watch over these two children. Who am I? My name is Brooke. Daughter of the unknown goddess, Alayla. Is Vanessa really my cousin? You could say that. Right now, we are on a train. We are going to the next city. After that, we head to Ioannina. We are halfway to Kranea Elassonos.

BUMP! What was that? BUMP! BUMP! THWACK! Is it? I pulled out my Imperial Gold sword. The two kids were asleep while I was alert looking out for them. CRASH! BUMP! THWACK! RUMBLE! Now that sounds like trouble. I looked at the little kids. Luke was awake now. I guess he heard the noise with me.

"Brooke? What was that?" He asked me.

"I don't know." I said to him." But keep watch of my cousin. Make sure no monsters try to get her."

"But where are you going?"

"I am going to see what the problem is." And with that, I left a somewhat stranger to take care of my cousin. I transformed into a fly and quickly flew to the front. But before I could get there, I was stopped by a Minotaur. He was big, scary and dreadful.

"Flies! Dreadful stuff!" He grumbled. He better not squish me! Then, I saw him stop swishing his hand in the air and start sniffing it. "I smell demigod blood. Where are you? SHOW YOURSELF AND DO NOT BE A COWARD!"

What do I do? Should I show myself or hide? Should I fight or go to the others? None of my decisions were reasonable. So, I went with all of them.

"I am showing myself," I said. "Just that you can't see me." A) Showing myself to him AND hiding.

"Who are you?" He asked me.

I turned normal sized and said, "My name is Brooke, and I shall fight you." He started laughing and laughing. So, I took my time to slash at his side and run to the others. B) Fighting and going to the others.

When I arrived, I saw Luke and Vanessa calmly talking. "Luke! Vanessa! Go out of the train now!"

"What?" Luke said. "Why?" It took me one word to get them out. "Minotaur," I said. So, they started getting their stuff and trying to get out of the door. But, everyone in the train was trying to escape with us.

"Still remember how to use a sword?" I asked Luke. He nodded and took out two daggers. I guess that works if you know how to use 'em.

RRRROOOOAAAAARRRRR! Down the way, we saw the minotaur. "NO ONE MESSES WITH DR. THORN!" He said. We did the only reasonable thing to do. We charged. It was three demigods against a killer monster. We all cornered him and charged. Ge grabbed Vanessa with one hand and Luke with the other.

"Now what daughter of Alayla?! You dare fight me now?"

"I do. I DO. I DO!" With that, I slashed at his sides. He roared in pain and dropped Vanessa. With the back of his hand, he threw me against the wall. And for the last seconds, I saw Vanessa yell and charge.

Vanessa

Vanessa was so mad, her eyes grew a tint of red and she felt stronger than ever. She held her sword with pried yelled a battle cry and charged straight for the heart. She went so fast with so much force, that she impaled the minotaur. The minotaur dissolved into gold dust and she went to Brooke

"She's knocked out cold." Luke said beside her. "Oh yeah, thanks for helping me up." He said with sarcasm dripping from his voice.

"What do I do?" I asked. I had to help my cousin. Ever since she brought me in, she felt more like a mother than a cousin, and I can't lose her by a dumb bull man. Luke bent down and gave her a weird looking drink from her bag. I always see her drink it whenever she's hurt. Never knew what it did.

In a flash, she was back to normal. "We have to keep going. Or else"

We went outside and started to our destination. A few hours later, we reached Kranea Elassonos. Brooke healed up by then. "OK Brooke, who is your godly parent. You guys agreed that mine is Ares or Mars. Who. Is. Yours." I said angrily.

"My mother is complicated. I really shouldn't be talking about her." Brooke said.

"Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaasssssssssssssssssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee weeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!"

"Fine! My mother's name was Alayla. She was the original goddess of war…"

TIME LAPSE TO NIGHT

"Here we are," Brooke said. "Now, all we have to do is wait." We are standing at the edge of the lake. We were waiting and waiting till…. WOOSH! A great big wave came upon us. None of us could see what was happening until… "Who are you?" An unfamiliar voice said.

I rubbed my eyes and looked at the voice. It was a girl with strawberry colored hair with green eyes. She had pale freckled skin and had a mix of a tomboy and a porcelain doll. She was wearing a white shirt with silver lining, dark blue jeans, her hair down, and Greek sandals. She was holding a sword with a bow behind her back and a quiver full of arrows. She had a determined look on her face.

The girl next to her… weeell… she seemed more quirky then the first girl. Way more. She has dirty blond hair and green eyes with a little bit of blue matching what she was wearing. She was wearing a blue shirt and a green jacket. Pants the same color as the first girls and pink convers. Her hair was in a very loose ponytail and she was bouncing on the balls of her feet.

"I'm Vanessa and this is Brooke and Luke." The girl with the different colored eyes came up to me and said, "HI! HI! HI! My name is Nikita! OOOOh! I love your name. The other girl over there is Antonella. She is soooooooo Antonella-e! We are her because of a prophecy! Are you here too because of that! Wait, was I not supposed to say that? What do you say Antonella?"

"Why are you here?" Antonella asked putting her sword back.

"We are here for the same reason," Brooke calmly said. We started talking about stuff and how weird this is. We finally knew everything about each other… but one thing we didn't know was the sun was rising.

"Umm… Guys?" Luke said. Apparently, Luke and Nikita were really into each other. I do not know how. "The sun is rising and what Antonella said would happen very soon." Apparently, Miss Goddess Antonella saw the future and that we had to get to a camp so we could save them before they leave or something like that.

Antonella said, "Let's go. I know the way there." And we ran after her to the camp.

Please review! They make me happy!
