The Quest for Violet Jones [PRIVATE]

I was in lala land the whole walk,not really paying attention to how long it was.When we reached Melinas house I blinked and rejoined reality."Wow."I mumbled.The house was preety big.I didnt even know they HAD mansios in Manhattan."'ello...Sir."I said,waving slightly to Melinas dad.

~I'll just do this..

Melina held out the money to Zin, and then placed it back in her pocket. "Yeah, we got it."

"Okay, so now we just have to find the airport. You know where that is, right, Melina?"

The daughter of Athena nodded her head. "I practically lived on planes as a child. Come on, it's this way." After saying good bye to her father, she led the group down to the nearest airport. Soon enough, they were on the plane to Arizona.

~ EXPLOSION TIME! 8D

Id gotten past security quiet easily considering I was armed to the teeth being from the south and all.But getting on the plane was a whole different matter.Id been on a plane once when I was like three and had almost been zapped out of the sky.Not my idea of a good memory.I was sitting infront Of Zin and next to Anna.Id gotten the window seat and I was really regreting that decision.I sighed and flipped through my spellbook and listened to 'El Dorado' by iron maiden."I hope so Zin."I replied.

I relaxed a little once we were up in the air.Sure my knucles were white from holding onto the seat so hard and I winced at every small turbulance but it was better than me having a full blown panic attack."Yeah.Sure sis."I mumbled.I sighed and opened the window.There were some dark clouds around and it had started to lightly rain.Gods.I sighed and counted backwards in french starting at a hundred.That always calmed me down."Cent,quatre-vingt-dix-neuf,quatre-vignt-dix-huit.."

The ride was surprisingly easy, until the screams of the passengers echoed through the plane. Melina and Anna jumped out of their seats, startled, but ready.

"I think someone's hijacking the plane!" Anna exclaimed.

"I'll go check. If something's wrong, I'll call for you guys."

Without a word spoken, Anna agreed. Melina then headed toward the cockpit, where she found two men. They seemed to be about 20 years of age, and highly drunk on alcohol, which showed in their appearance.

"What now?" one of them asked, talking into one of the transmitters.

"What else? Just take the plane down!" a female voice snapped, which sounded like the voice of a 15-year-old girl.

"Okay, fine, Violet," the other man complained.

Violet.

The daughter of Athena quickly rushed back to her friends, and told them what had happened.

"Violet's doing this?" The Hecate cabin leader was devastated, but seemed like she was half expecting of something like this. "This is going to be harder than I thought."

I actually calmed down when people started screaming.Fighting my way out of situations was just more calming that sitting down and waiting for something bad to happen.I had my dager out in my left hand and my revolver in my right.How Id gotten the weapons on the plane was easier than Id thought but thats not important right now.The stewardesses were trying to calm people down but they looked pretty scared themselves.I smiled."Im gonna go see if I can deal with the drunken idjits up front."I said,already heading for the control room.Some lady screamed noticing my gun but I just sighed,snapped my fingers,and let the mist do the rest.

I grinned devileshly.I punched the other guy and then grabbed him by his shoulder and shoved hi against the wall.I looked into his eyes and at the same time changed mine to a very dark green.I slowly started searching his mind with necromancy.I chuckled darkly.He knew little,but atleast something about how to fly a plane.I punched him again,this time harder,and knocked him unconcious."Melina,turn those two red buttons halfway and that blue one a qaurter of an inch."I said,while I was next to her pressing different buttons.Along with the plane stuff Id also found out what hed messed with.Aperantly the other had been the gaurd or something like that."I hope Zins got something goin."I mumbled,switching yet anothe switch.

Melina tried pressing a few buttons, but leaving one hand on the wheel of the plane. It only took a few minutes for sparks of electricity to start dancing to life on the control system. "The whole system's gone haywire!" she exclaimed.

And if that just wasn't enough, they had found themselves in a turbulence. Melina gripped the wheel tighter than before, her knuckles turning a bright white, and fear written all over her face. She tilted the wheel downward, causing the plane to go up, and release itself from the turbulence's grasp. "Okay," the demigoddess breathed, "That's over with."

The wheel was soon engulfed in sparks. Quickly, and without hesitation, Melina pulled away, and the plane began to head down to the earth's surface. "We're loosing altitude!"

~ Jump?

I growled and punched the wall in frustration."This things gonna go down Melina.I say we grab the others and jumps.Theres a fiftyseven percentc chance we manage to not die."I said,pinching the bridge of my nose.A stewardes came in and started screaming.I snapped and she walked out quietly."The will of mortals.So easily twisted."I muttered darkly.I headed for the door."Come on Melina.We have a better chance of surviving if were together."I said,my eyes flickering red.

"We can't let them die." Melina observed the frantic mortals; their efforts of escaping death to only be proven inevitable. Why should they, the half-bloods, live, when the mortals are only innocent, and harmless creatures? How was that fair?

"I know, Melina. But there's nothing we can do for them now. The control system has been hijacked completely, and the extra engine on the plane has been trashed also. There's nothing we can do." Anna strapped on her parachute backpack as she spoke. Then, she wrapped one around the dazed Melina, who was still lost in thought. "We have to leave. There's still a life we can save," Anna said, implying that her cousin, Violet, was why they were on this quest.

"Yeah," Melina replied halfheartedly. "Let's go."

Anna and Melina dived out of the plane, quickly releasing their parachutes. The plane erupted into flames in the distance, sparks of fire falling from the inferno.

I landed on the ground by crashing into a bush.I cursed in spanish and looked around.The plane had landed a good two miles away.An easy five minute run.Well...for me that is.Ive beeen trained to be a ninja."Anna,Melina,Im gonna check on Zin.Shes probably alive."I said to them.I grabbed my backpack and headed off,running through the rocky terrain like it was nothing.Hold on Zin.Just hold on.
