32Hello...so sorry for the long wait. I had writers' block. But I did it and it was hard! WOOHOO!
Chapter 2
In front of me was a Fury. She had blood red eyes and wings of a bat. She was old like a hag and had black leather pants and a black leather jacket. My mom emitted an ear-piercing scream. She past me and ran straight out of the door. She didn't even bother to try to save me or tell me to come with her. Great mom isn't she?
Neo just bleated and almost peed in his pants I guessed.
I wiped out Demise and stood my ground with Neo to my left and the Fury right in front of Demise.
She made no effort to move or fight; she stood there and looked at me. I don't mean just glare or stare look, she looked at me with so much force it felt like she was looking in to my soul.
I slowly started to lower my blade.
"Alex? What are you doing? There is a Fury right in front of you; she is bound to kill you soon!" Neo scream-whispered again.
The Fury whipped her attention from me to Neo.
"Alex knows what she is doing, she knows I will not hurt her, I'm a close friend with her dad," the Fury hissed.
"Alecto…" I said in a whisper.
Neo gasped. He pointed at my head. I ran to my mom's mirror. A black three headed dog was hovering over my head. I let out a gasp.
Everything was hitting me at once. My dad was the God of the Underworld, Hades. I have his black hair. That's why I don't have my mom's blonde hair. I am the Demi-god child of the big three. I can command the dead. My step-mom is the Goddess Persephone. My uncle's are Zeus and Poseidon. I felt like I was about to faint.
"Alex! Alex! Are you okay? You look really pale." He said frantically.
"Yeah I'm fine I just need to sit down. I feel a little faint," I said softly. I felt myself slipping in and out of conciseness.
I last thing I remember is that Neo and Alecto looking at me worriedly.
I woke up with only Neo staring at me now.
"Where did Alecto go?" I said faintly.
"She left while you were out."
"How long have I been out?"
"Half-hour."
"Where are my mom and Jake?"
"They came in here a little after Alecto left and I told them what happened. Your mom fainted and Jake just looked dumb-founded. After your mom woke up she grabbed a bunch of her clothes and Jake and took the car and left. She told me to tell you that 'Tell Alex I love her. I just didn't want to become part of the mythical world again. It ruined us when I found out that I was married to the God of the Underworld. And her sword is made of-.' "
"Were those her exact words? Why didn't she finish?" I asked.
"Before she was going to say a hole in the ground opened up and she and Jake fell through," he said solemnly.
"My dad did that! Why did he take her down there? Does he just want my life to be miserable?" I screamed at no one in particular. I was blinking back tears again. "Why does my dad insist on making my life miserable? I am going to the Underworld to talk to him!" I tell Neo
"No! First we have to get you to camp," he said firmly.
"Fine, but then I'm asking for a quest to go talk to my dad in the Underworld," I said determinedly.
"Only if Chiron lets you though," he added.
"Well let's go."
We went out to the garage and took the other car, luckily they took the black BMW, and so they left us with the red jeep. The downfall I'm only 14 and Neo, well I don't know how old Neo is. I guess that he might be around 14 or 15. I decided while grabbing the keys of the dining table that I don't care if we get pulled over.
I grabbed Neo and pulled him out to the garage. I told him that we'll flip a coin to see who gets to drive. He protested that he should drive since he is older. But I just ignored him.
"Fine, then I call heads," he pouted while crossing his arms.
"Ok. I really don't care, but no pouting when I win with tails," I smirked.
We flipped the coin and it wasn't Neo pouting it was me. Lucky I got to ride shotgun with Neo behind our red jeep with a stupid smirk on his face. I wanted to slap him so bad right then and there, but I didn't.
"So where are we going? Camp is in New York we are in South Carolina," I said
"Well then we'll go to the airport," he said stupidly. I am the daughter of Hades, how am I supposed to ride in Zeus's territory with out getting blown to smithereens. Percy had a better to live riding in a plane then I did.
"What are you retarded?" I said smacking up side the head.
"Ow! No- oh wait you can't, I forgot. Sorry," he said sheepishly.
I just glared at him. Why did I get the satyr who forgets I'm the daughter of HADES, and the one who has lost a couple of campers? I hope I don't have to see my dad soon.
"Well then how are we going to get there?" he asked rubbing his eyes. I guessed he had allergies.
"How else? A bus or a train," I suggested.
"Or a car or a plane," he said smiling stupidly.
I stared at him; didn't I just tell him that we can't take a plane? Please correct me if I'm wrong.
"What? It's your basic ," he said noticing my stare.
I had no answer so I just gave him a half smile, leaned my head back, and a closed my eyes.
I had another dream while I was sleeping. I have been having them lately. Normally I have dreamless sleeps. But a week before Neo came I have been having really odd ones. Well, not weird exactly more haunting. The most common I have had that keeps repeating is I'm standing in my mom's room with the lights off. I feel a cold rush to the rights of me and the hairs on my arm stand up on the edge. Then I hear someone with a raspy voice say my name really slowly. I would try to turn my neck to the voice. But I sudden pain would shout through my neck and my legs would shake and I would fall to the ground writhing in pain. I would feel someone standing over my and it would say, "You are a disgrace to us," and would walk away. Then I would always wake up.
"Alex!" Neo yelled shaking my arm.
"Whaa?" was my best response when I'm tired.
"You were screaming and shaking," he said while his face was drained of colour.
"Oh, I was having my haunting dream again," I said yawning.
"Do you want to talk about it?" he asked timidly.
"Nah, It's okay. It's just one of my repeating dreams."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, it's okay. I have them all the time."
"Okay," he said still sounding unassured.
I gave him a half-smile and I think it helped his nerves just a little. He said we just made it in North Carolina. I sighed. Just what I needed another Carolina.
"You want to try to take a plane?" I said after another couple songs.
He stared at me with his big, brown goat eyes. I wondered what was going on in his mind.
"Are you out of your mind? Do you want to die?" he yelled staring at me.
"No! But it is going to take forever to get to New York at the rate we are going it's going to take ages!"
"Who cares? I don't want you to die!"
"I don't- Neo lets stop fighting like a married couple, okay?" I asked kindly
"Fine, we'll take your stupid plane," he pouted.
I smiled and turned the radio up. It was my favourite song. Breakeven. By the Script. I started to sing along without recognizing it.
I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just prayed to a God that I don't believe in
'Cause I got time while she got freedom
'Cause when a heart breaks, no it don't breakeven
Her best days will be some of my worst
She finally met a man that's gonna put her first
While I'm wide awake she's no trouble sleeping
'Cause when a heart breaks, no it don't breakeven, even, no
What am I suppose to do
When the best part of me was always you and
What am I suppose to say
When I'm all choked up and you're okay
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces
They say bad things happen for a reason
But no wise words gonna stop the bleeding
'Cause she's moved on while I'm still grieving
And when a heart breaks, no it don't breakeven, even, no
What am I gonna do
When the best part of me was always you
And what am I suppose to say
When I'm all choked up and you're okay
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces
(One's still in love while the other one's leaving)
I'm falling to pieces
('Cause when a heart breaks, no it don't breakeven)
You got his heart and my heart and none of the pain
You took your suitcase, I took the blame
Now I'm trying make sense of what little remains, oh
'Cause you left me with no love and no love to my name
I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just prayed to a God that I don't believe in
'Cause I got time while she got freedom
'Cause when a heart breaks, no it don't break
No it don't break, no it don't breakeven, no
What am I gonna do
When the best part of me was always you
And what am I supposed to say
When I'm all choked up and you're okay
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces
(One's still in love while the other one's leaving)
I'm falling to pieces
('Cause when a heart breaks, no it don't breakeven)
Oh, it don't breakeven, no
Oh, it don't breakeven, no
Oh, it don't breakeven, no
"You have a really good voice Alex," Neo said.
"Oh, I didn't realize I was singing." I was blushing really badly.
"Well, just one more hour probably till we make it to the airport."
I groaned.
Well? Tell me if you love it or hate it? Make me feel speical when people reveiw! Thank you!
