Hey guys didn't want you guys waiting to long since I kind of left you guys at a suspenseful ending. I usually have more to write at the beginning but today I think we'll get right to it.
"Taxi, Taxi, anybody please," screamed Elle at oncoming cabs.
"Oh thank Aeolus," sighed Elle when one stopped in front of her, "too the nearest airport please."
"Sure, so ah where ya headed," asked the driver.
"The airport."
"I mean after the airport lady."
"Somewhere, just go, step on it, I know you can go faster then that!"
"Fine fine sheesh, someones pushy today."
"Look I am not paying you $2.50 a mile to get an attitude just take me where I need to go and I might still give you a tip."
When Elle finally reached the airport she swiped her credit card and ran like the wind (literally).
"What about the my tip?!" called the driver after her but she was all ready out of reach.
Here is the real problem though how exactly do you go through security wearing celestial bronze weapons? Well you don't. After the metal detector went off she had to run around a corner vanish and evade other passengers as to not bring any attention to herself.And appear in line without anyone noticing her just pop up. Not an easy task.
"Hi here's my ticket."
"I'm sorry but this flight has been delayed due to weather conditions."
"Are you KIDDING ME!" exclaimed Elle.
"I'm sorry miss but until the storm clears up we cannot take off.
"One moment."
Elle walked over to the nearest window and sure enough a wild storm was brewing outside. Fabulous.
"A clear spring day just a clear spring day," thought Elle.
She focused on clearing the clouds only the clouds. Hunched over gripping the railing, beads of sweat ran down her face. She was becoming shockingly pale.
The clouds only the clouds.
And the clouds did clear. People ran to the windows staring in awe. But they didn't notice the girl fall to the floor. Elle woke up gasping for breath, she looked to her side and saw the last people boarding the plane. She stumbled halfway to the her seat before someone had to catch her and place her in her seat. When she woke up again the plane was landing.
"Welcome to New York," boomed a female voice overhead.
"Well thank gods nothing else happened," groaned Elle.
After exiting the plane it hit Elle that she couldn't take a cab to camp half blood. She would have to find another way.
30 minutes later.....
"Come oh chariot of damnation!"
You know what happens next.
"Give me the eye!"
"If ee a oof"
"No!"
The chariot began to spiral downward.
"O.k Just give me the stinking steering wheel!" exclaimed Elle.
When the chariot landed Elle scrambled out as fast as she could. At the top of half blood hill waiting to meet her was Annabeth. She had this look on her face that Elle didn't think Annabeth could make. It was the expression of someone with a crushed spirit.
"He's really gone isn't he."
Annabeth nodded.
"Any chance he just sneaked out on a secret quest like he does sometimes."
"Why would he, there was nothing wrong it was perfect."
"I'm so sorry."
"So how does your see through the wind thing work?"
"I can latch on any form of wind anywhere throughout the area that the gods reside."
"So if he's out of the western world or if the wind isn't blowing we're out of luck."
"Yeah.... the stronger the wind the stronger image."
Annabeth just stared out into nothingness. The whole camp seemed gray. Even though it wasn't raining there was a heavy cloud cover that made it seem that all the color and life had been blotted out.
"You should go rest before we start looking," said Annabeth as if she had no idea that she was talking.
Elle started off towards her cabin but looked back once. Annabeth sat at the hill head in her hands, she shook as if she would collapse at any moment. She wanted to go comfort her but what could she say. So she did what she always did in these situations. She ran.
A couple of hours later Elle and Annabeth started looking. They would do this for three days only stopping to sleep and eat until an image popped up. It was Percy laying outside a worn down old mansion. She didn't want to tell Annabeth but she couldn't see him breething.
"Did you see that!"
"Yes."
"That has to be him try and get a better look!"
"When Elle reached out her hand and tried to focus the image it burned her hand and closed the image.
"What was that?!"
"Someone or something doesn't want us to see him," said Elle.
"Oh."
"What do we do know?"
"We go to see the oracle," said Annabeth gravely.
"Taxi, Taxi, anybody please," screamed Elle at oncoming cabs.
"Oh thank Aeolus," sighed Elle when one stopped in front of her, "too the nearest airport please."
