Sneaking out=Scary,yet fun {T-O-A-S-T}

Brooks, and myself were leaving camp. It was nice to finaly leave the place were I wasn't wanted. "The best thing to do, was to buy two plane tickets, but they woun't let Cerberus on, and I'm not good with planes, or hights." I said, as I looked at a map of New York, and of Virginia. "We need to go here..." I point to a small town that borderd West Virgina. "And were all the way up here," I move my finger to the other map of New York, and point to right outside of Camp Half-Blood. "Alright, smarty-pants, how do you think we should get from here to there?" I ask Brooks, as I show him the two diffrent points on the map's.

"Hmmmmm" I wonder aloud, looking at the maps as we continue to walk further and further away from or only safe haven, known to the greek demigods. "Well, I got to Camp Halfblood after taking multiple buses. It would take a few days, but its worth a shot. Would they let Cerberus on though?" I ask, mortified that I was still doing this.

I shrug. "I don't know. I should have left him at Camp, but he'd simply get mad and follow me. But, he's the best ankle-biting body guard that you can ever have. I don't know how I'd live without him." I said, still thinking on how we could get to Virgina. "I suppose we could sneak on a train like they do in the movies. I've done it myself once or twice on my way to Camp Half-Blood. The key is to hide were the ticket-people woun't find you. After that, were set." I said. I still didn't trust Brooks. I mean, I had only just met him yesterday. I'd have to keep an eye on him at all times.

I nod. "That truthfully is our best option. I know theres a convinience store about a 2 mile walk from here." I point to a small dot on the map. "If you dont know where a train station, with a train headed to Virginia might be, thats our best option." I replied, my jacket swaying easily through the wind.

I nod. "And, if they don't have a train going straight to Virginia, than we could 'train hop'. By that, I mean taking diffrent trains until we get there. We could stop at the convinience store and do...what exactly?" I asked him, not sure why he mentiond the convinience store. I shiver a little, the night getting colder by the minute.

"I meant, we could go there to ask for directions. Unless you know where the nearest train station may be." I asked, hoping she knew. It would waste much prescious time if we had to go there, the camp probabaly already realizes were gone by now. With that thought in my head, I pick up my pace slightly.

I have to walk a little faster to catch up with Brooks. "We could just look at the map. It's not that hard." I laugh at the thought of him not being able to read a simple map. It really isn't to hard. I look down at the legond, and find were the key said 'train station' then I looked around out location. "The nearest station is about...7, 8, 9 miles from here? If we don't sleep, we'd probobly get there a little before lunch. Or, if we took a bus we'd be there faster. I dought that the busses run that late though." I told him, looking behind me to make sure that Cerberus was following me, and of couse, he was.

"Buses are no good." I say, grabbing the map from her politely. "I know for a fact that if they ran this late, they probabaly wouldnt let Cerberus on." I state, reading the map. "Theres... a bike store... about 2 and a half miles from here. How much money you got?"

"Not enough to buy a bike. I got maby, 30$? It's not much." I tell him. How in the world were we going to get to the train station faster? There had to be a better way. Suddenly, I thought up of something useful. "Hey, I think I have a better idea than train hopping. We still might have to hop a few trains, but this way is a lot faster. All we have to do is simply get to the ocean. I hope your not afraid of swimming." I smiled.

"..Not at all." I lied, but we had no better option. Please dad..... I thought to myself. If your listening.... guide us to safety. "So.... lets get going." I said, looking at you thoughtfully.

Brooks, Cerberus, and I walked down until we reached a beach that I was sure was salt water. I waded in until I was ankle deep, and then whistled, wating for hippocampi to respond to my call. A few minutes later, I could see them out a little deeper. "That's the farthes that they'll come in. we have to go out a little. I hope you don't mind getting wet." I pick Cerberus up, and then begin walking out to the hippocampi.

"N- no problem." I forced a smile. And, rolled up my jeans, even though it was pointless. I wanted to stay as dry as I could for as long as I could. I had begun to walk out with Mellie and Cerberus, the Hippocampi clearly getting closer to us. "Your a daughter of Posiedon." It wasn't a question, just a statement. Something I had just now figured out.

I looked back at Brooks. "Really? You wern't aware of this last night when I made it look like you wet your pants?" I laughed. Gods, this guy was dull. "What are you, the son of Aphrodite?[color=white]" I laughed jokingly. We had reached the hippocampi by now, and I struck up a conversation with one of them

Hi there, can you take me and this boy as close to Virgina as you can?
Yea, but I'm not sure about the dog.
The dog has to come with us.
Well, can he swim?
Yea, a little but not for very long. Brooks and I can take turns holding him, if thats ok.
Yea, just don't let him on us. Dog claws can be painful. Get on!!
I smiled to Brooks. "They say that they can take us as far as they can, but, you have to carry Cerberus. Get on!" I say, as I push him into Brooks arms. I hear one of the hippocampi snicker.

I ignore her. Last night, I hadnt focused on that, being a son of Ares, I was focused on my rage. So, it was a decent excuse. But I was hit back into reality when that heavy dog was dropped into my arms. "Oh... wow...... ok." I say, as I get onto one of the Hippicampi.

I smile at his discomfort. It was nice, sometimes to be able to make people do what you want them to do. The hippocampi begin to leave New York, and out into the open, atlantic ocean. "The ride will be a lot faster than usual, because hippocampi are magical creatures, and they can kinda bend time." I say, yawning, and curling up on my hippocampi, beginning to fall asleep.

"Alrighty then." I say, too uncomfortable and nervous to fall asleep. I scooted towards the middle of my Hipocampie, I hated the water, and little drops kept hitting and tapping against my arm. It felt oddly.... nice?

I quickly sit up. "Oh, I forgot who your godly parent is. I don't think you ever told me." I ask, and look at Cerberus. He looked misrable, in some strangers arms. "Cmere boy." I smile, taking Cerberus and putting him in my own lap. He looked a lot more content there.

"Ares." I say, before smiling and laying my head down. "Im the son of..." I dozed off, and before I knew it, I was sound asleep. No noise erupted from me, except for my soft breathing. I could finnally get some sleep.

I smile as Brooks falls asleep out of pure exostion. "We should do the...same." I yawned, and curled up with Cerberus, drifting off to sleep.

My dream was awful. I was what apeared to be standing somewhere in Virginia. We are waiting. A voice boomed. Birds and animals alike squaked and ran outside of the house I was standing in. Dont mess this up, Gillt. Either way, your gonna die. After that very sentence, I awoke. It was bright and sunny outside, and the Hipocampi were trying to get us up, they all looked annoyed as I stratched my head. "Uhh... sorry." I managed, my throat dry.

I gave Brooks a look. What was he sorry about? I had woken up a little earlyer. 10, 15 minutes ago? I hadn't payed attention. I was simply getting a few things out of my pack for breakfast, and I had also gotten my map out so that way, we could perhaps find out were we were. "Anyway, come on up to land and get something to eat. The nearest train station is a while away, and if you want to get on board than you'll have to wake up faster" I say.

I bit my lip, I was anxious to ask Mellie something, but I held it off to the side- for now. "Yea.... so.... perhaps we should.. eat on the way?" I ask. We were by the shore, a shore crowded with mortals. I wondered what they were seeing when they looked at us. I could never tell with 'The Mist.'

I nod. "Good idea." I say, beginning to gather my things. Cerberus ran back over to me, from doing his 'buisness'. I slipped my sack over my shoulders, and stood up. "Ready when you are." I say to Brooks.

I force a smile. "Im..... already ready." My backback and spear are both slung over my back. In my hands is a granola bar. As I step off of the Hipocampi, and into the water, a sudden fear washes over me. "Lets go..."

I begin walking up the sand. But, I turn around to look at Brooks. Was there something worng with him? He didn't look to happy. "You know, you didn't have to come with me if you didn't want to. I'm perfectly fine on my own. Now, we should get moving. Our sent is probobly waking up every monster within a mile radius." I looked at him seriously. My 'sent' alone would wake up plenty of monsters, but with another demigod with me, we'd probobly wake up every monster in Virginia.
