Running Away Is Easy
I follow Lou-Ellen, Kayla Knowles and Nissa Baret into the limosouine. I know it's stupid. So why was I going? Answer; I couldn't leave my girlfriend, Lou-Ellen.
Sure, I was only 15 or what ever, but what does that matter? Luke was 13 when he started working for Kronos and no one gave two shits about that. So here I was, sitting in a limosouine that a Titan had somehow rented, and driving far away from camp half-blood and everyone I'd ever known and loved. I was leaving my two older brothers, Castor and Pollux. Who knew when, or if, I'd see them again? I sighed. Lou-Ellen's head is resting comfortably on my shoulder. Kayla's knee is bouncing nervously as she glances around the car. Her fiery red and green hair is flashing against the sun, and Nissa is giving her nervous glances. Three other kids are in the car. All boys. I recognize two of them. James and Jerry from the Apollo cabin. James has blonde hair and blue eyes, like Jerry, his twin. The third boy has brown hair and green eyes.
They all look about our age -15- and they all look slightly nervous, with the exception of Mystery boy, who's eyes are flahskng with excitement. See, Lou hadn't really had much choice. Her brother, Alabaster, had come up to her one day and said 'we're leaving soon. If you don't come, I'll have to kill you'. Okay, not EXACTLY like that- but he did threaten to leave her at camp and tell everyone about how her mother was Hecate. I stroked her hair gently, pressing a kiss to her temple. "Sleep." I murmured.
Lou pressed her forehead into me, mumbling something I couldn't understand.
The Mystery boy was eyeing us, seemingly sizing us up. "So" he said after a weirdly long silence.
"So." Said me and Kayla in sync, with Jerry and James half a beat behind.
"Who are you guys? " asked the boy.
I glanced over at Kayla, then spoke up.
"I'm Trixie, daughter of Dyonisis. "
"Kayla, daughter of Apollo. "
"Jerry and James, sons of Apollo. " Jerry said, shooting Kayla a warm glance.
"And you?" Asked James.
"Briar, son of Demeter. " he said, glancing down slightly.
I strok Lou's hair. "This is Lou-Ellen, daughter of Hecate, and Nissa Baret, daughter of Heapheastus." I say, pointing at the two girls.
Briar nods, eyes flashing between all of us. He glances towards the driver seat, where a zombie is driving. Weird. I thought a real person was picking us up. Guess not. Lou rubbed her eyes and looked up. "Where are we? " she asked, clearly still tired.
I shrugg helplessly. "That's unclear as of now." I say dryly.
James snorted, and Jerry chuckled. "We're heading to HQ" Jerry explained.
I raise an eyebrow. "You been there before? "
Jerry, James, Kayla and Nissa all nod.
"How is it? " I ask.
"Boring." Kayla replys, faking a yawn.
I snicker. "Okay, miss archery. "
Kayla sticks out her tongue and the car skids to a stop. The zombie opens the door.
"We're here."
Jerry, James, Kayla and Nissa all stay seated, so I copy suit. The zombie enters the car, come up to me and Lou, then, with a wicked smile, he presses a cloth over our mouths and nose. Spots dance in my vision, and the last thing I see is the floor rushing towards my before everything turns black.
