chap 12 traveling

Trey and silena store their weapons in her ring and we walk up the hill to find luke doing a double check on his gear " Hey Luke you look ready." I say half heartedly he nods and shoulders his bag " I'm taking the grey hound as far as it will let me what about you guys?" he asks as we walk down the hill to find Argus with one of the camp van's " We'll take a plane from LaGuardia international to Charlotte Douglas I vaguely know the way." I say as we climb in and sit as Argus drives off to the station " Luke do you have any plans after you get on the bus?" He shakes his head " I'll improvise what about you guy?" Trey and silena look at me " First we'll gather intel i know of one place that we can get info then I know a guy to give us a ride." I say as I spin my pen in between my fingers. " Ok but how will we fly there we don't have any money?" Silena asks as I smile " Oh my gods he has money." Trey as as we pull up to the gray hound and luke climbs out and closes the door and Argus turns and heads toward the airport.

" Zak you seem off is there anything you want to say?" Trey asks as he turns his head towards me and I just sigh " Yea just not looking forward to head back home." I say resting my head on the window as silena rests her hand on my shoulder. " So your from north carolina is there anything we need to look out for?" he asks as I start chuckling " Keep hold of your wallets and bags." they raise their eyebrows as we go quiet and let Argus pull up to the curb infront of the door and we climb out. Shouldering our bags we walk to the door and to the counter. " Hello what can I help you kids with today?" the lady asks " We need three tickets to Charlotte Douglas international first class." I say boredly as trey and silena look at me surprised " Can you even afford it little guy, " Ring it up and find out" i pull my wallet out and sticks the chip in and punch in the pin and waits till a ping sounds and pulls my card out with the screen saying approved " My apologies young man I was wrong here are your tickets." she says quickly as she hands me the tickets.

We walk through the food court and start heading to the gate " Hey zak how do you have money?" Silena asks i stick my hands in my pockets " Afew years ago before I ran away I secretly transferred some money from my mother's account to mine i transferred enough to where she won't notice." I say as we step on a section escalator takes use to the gate " How much do you have on you?" trey asks i shrug as we feel the ground shake and people start screaming " Ah we are missing the fun." I say and sprints to the window to see a cyclops walking up the run way screaming " SON OF ZEUS COME OUT I CAN SMELL YOU I'M HUNGRY!" I shudder as trey and silena look at me " Your the leader got a plan?" Trey asks i just nod " You and silena are on crowd control try and get any plane that is coming here diverted to a different zone." I say as I pull my shield from my ring and clicks my pen causing it to turn into a spear and I jump through the window and roll the moment I touch the ground.

"HEY SHIT FOR BRAINS YOU WANT YOU GOT ME!" I yell as I charge forward and summon a lightning bolt that strikes the monster making it roar in pain " You little shit!" it yells as it reaches for but I drop into a slide and goes under its hand and I jab the tip of my spear in its hand causing it to roar again, I roll over to see silena herding people away before standing back up and walking towards it " You are foolish to come near me." It growls causing me to laugh "I can't kill you without getting closer!" I start running then jump and summon the winds to carry me up and thrusts my spear in its chest and forces the wind to knock it down. " Argh!" it groans as we land and I run forward and slams my shield it its face repeatedly " Go to sleep, Go to sleep, go to sleep..." I stop for a sec to take a breath and it spits out three teeth and glares at me " I'm sorry" I sqeak as it slaps my but I just managed to bring my shield in front of my block the hit but I'm sent flying." Ouch that hurt!" I groan as I look up to see if throw my spear to the sideand it charges me only to stumble back and arrow land on its face. " ZAK EVERYONE IS CLEAR!" I glance over to see trey holding a bow i just laugh ' I wanted to try this' I lossen the strap on my shield and throw it and summon lightning making it hit the shield right when it hits the cyclops in the eye turning the monster to dust.
