Chapter Six- Underwater Fun
Grey's POV-
"Guys," I say, "what happened?"
Jane looks at Ken, Kylie, and me. "I don't know," she says at last. "I've just learned about you guys."
Ken grabs Kylie's hand as he says, "How will we get back to Mom and Dad?"
"We will somehow. But we all need to stick together," I tell them.
"Let's go walking around to see where we are," Jane suggests. Jane starts walking forward and I follow. The twins follow us but I walk behind them so they don't get lost.
Suddenly, everything goes black and I'm being dragged backwards. I grunt, trying to break free but it doesn't work. The attacker is stronger than I am. I stop struggling and the attacker stops pulling me. "That is my friend!" I hear someone yell.
"Jane, don't!" I yell but I hear someone pounding on the pavement and I close my eyes tightly. My mind races with things I could do so she wouldn't have to come my way. I instantly flip backwards on the guy that held me captive. The bag is on my head still so I don't know what I landed on but I hear a groan of pain.
I feel the bag being ripped of my head I see purple hair flying around me. Jane helps me stand up and I look at my attacker. A boy around sixteen is laying on the ground, holding his arm in pain.
"Why did you attack me?" I growl. Ken and Kylie come near us to check out the stranger.
"You're n-not supposed to be here," he says, his eyes glinting in mystery.
"And why not?" I ask.
"There is a prophecy," the boy says. "About strangers coming to this world and they will make it crumble."
I roll my eyes. "I've heard too much about prophecies," I say.
"Now, you are coming with us," Jane says, her eyes glinting dangerously.
"Woah there cupcake," the boy says and then he strikes Jane's knees so she falls down. He jumps up but I grab his shoulders. I turn him around and he hisses in pain.
"You will not hurt my friends," I hiss. "Ken, Kylie, come here so you can take his weapons from him."
They walk towards me and the man starts to try it get away from me. They search him all over and find a dagger and a sword strapped to his chest. The twins walk away from us, giving the stranger space.
Ken gives Kylie the dagger and kept the sword for himself. She inspects it like it was a new toy that she could play with instead of a weapon. I look down at Jane and notice that she has a bloody nose. She stands up and she punches the guys square on the face.
"You so deserve more," Jane says to him, "but I'm being nice right now."
"All of you deserve to die!" he screams. "I will make sure of it!"
"What a psycho," Jane says.
"Knock him out," I say to Kylie. She grins at me and hits him in the back of the head with her new dagger.
"You're way different at school, you know," Jane pants.
"Oh yeah," I tell her. "You don't even know me at all."
"Why did you make a ten year old knock someone out though?" Jane whispers.
"I uh don't know," I whisper back, touching my head.
"Is something wrong with you?" Jane asks.
"I don't know." Jane reaches out for me but my vision turns black around the edges. I drop the boy as my legs start to buckle under me. I fall down as everything starts to fade from view.

I run around with Andromeda by my side. Parker is a little ways away from us and is saying how we should use our foam swords that act as real demi-gods.
"You guys are going down!" he yells at us.
"I don't think so," Meda says, swinging her sword at him. It hits him on the face and stops him short.
"You look stunned," I say.
"That HURT!" he screams.
"Woah, woah, woah!" Mom's voice says. "What is going on back here?"
"Meda hit me in the face!" Parker wails.
"It was a game!" she yells. Suddenly, she falls on her face and Parker laughs. I grin at my sister as she glares at Parker and I.
*****
I'm getting ready for school and Meda comes into my room.
"What are you doing in here?" I ask her, quickly putting my shirt on.
"Grandpa Leo is hurt," she says simply.
"How?" I ask, getting worried.
"Mom and Dad wouldn't say," she says, shrugging. "But they said we had to leave now."
I walk with her to the family room to see Mom holding onto Dad for dear life.
"Come one kids," Dad says and we walk out of the house. It turns out that Grandpa just smashed his toe in building a bicycle for Meda and I.
*****
I open my eyes slightly to see no sky and Jane peering down at me.
"What happened?" I ask her.
"You just. . . fell down," she says, shrugging. "And the twins are watching Evil Man back there. They told me who their parents are children of so I deemed them worthy of it."
I sit up slowly and look around. "Where'd you bring us?" I ask.
"I don't know," she admits. "I just know that the future we landed in is underwater."
"What?" I ask.
"Underwater."
"How?"
"How could I know?" she asks.
"We need to get out of here before someone else gets hurt." As soon as I said that, I hear a scream penetrate the air.
"Kylie!" Ken yells and Jane and I run to where they are. "She's gone," he whispers, tears forming in his eyes.
"We'll get her back," I say firmly. "No one can separate us for long."
