Chapter 11, We Get Attacked On A Bus

The next day our quest had officially begun. Our old counselors from the Hermes cabin had gotten us each a backpack and stuffed them with different things. Laurence had a few bottles of seawater in his because it could heal him along with some bits of ambrosia and a canteen of nectar. He also had some mortal money and dramachas for emergencies. Garroth and Zane had the same thing except the water, instead they both had whistles that looked to be made of ice. Percy told them to use it if they needed backup and only use it once. I had the same thing minus the whistles and water, instead I had a coin inscribed with SPQR whatever that was supposed to mean. Jason said that if we needed help and were in California, to go to this camp and show them the coin and tell them I was his sister. What was that going to help with?

Once we were done preparing we all met by the pine tree which marked the exit of camp. "We can only get you so far as the terminal, then you will be on your own.", said Chiron. Our brothers, Chiron, Annabeth, and Grover were all there to send us off. Just then I saw Jace running toward us and my heart did a little flutter. "Hey Aphmau, I wanted to give these to you. I thought they might be useful in your quest.", said Jace and he handed me a pair of converse that looked pretty normal. "If you need to get across water put them on. We'll see you when you get back!", he said happily and went back to his cabin. I knew going across water would be a no go for me so I couldn't use them. We all had a special item, all except for Travis. Travis only had his magic, which he wasn't very good at. All he knew was how to wipe memories and he wasn't very good at it. I went over to him and handed him the shoes. His mother was neutral so he would be able to go on water and be just fine. "Thanks Aph", he replied and he laced up the shoes. I wished I had a proper weapon, but nothing felt right for me so I'd have to just use my powers, and besides Laurence didn't have a weapon either so we could just combine but we'd need a sword I guess we'd have to work that out. Garroth and Zane both had weapons so they'd be fine and besides Zane could summon a few undead soldiers if necessary. "Hey Aphmau, I have something else for you.", said Jason and he handed me a start shaped hairpin. Probably got it from the store for only a dollar. "Press the small circle in the center.", instructed Jason. I pressed the teal circle in the middle and in an instant it grew to a sword about one and half feet long. It was the first sword that I actually felt comfortable holding. "It was a gift from Thalia, I was saving it in case another child of Jupi-Er Zeus came.", said Jason. "Hey Laurence, I also have something for you.", said Percy and he handed Laurence a navy blue pen with a cap. "Here, pull of the cap. It's just like Riptide except a little shorter.", said Percy and Laurence stashed the pen in his back pocket. "That should make defense easier.", said Jason. "Just a reminder, it would be ideal if you all stayed on the ground as you'd be in enemy territory.", said Chiron wearing us. "Now you six must be on your way.", said Chiron again, and we set off.

Argus had taken us to the bus terminal as Percy, Grover, and Annabeth had used it in their quest and had succeeded so they thought maybe it would be ideal that we'd take it there. We boarded the bus and we saw three old ladies sit across from us. "Uh, Laurence, Garroth, Zane, Travis, Vylad. Those old ladies are giving me a bad feeling.", I said. "Yeah me too.", said Laurence. "They seem fine to me.", said Zane. I looked at one in the eye, she had black eyes. The eyes of the bat ladies that took my mom. Oh Styx! We're screwed. Sure there was the mist but what would keep those bat ladies from attacking us when there were four children of the big three on the same bus as them. Maybe they'll ignore us? Nah probably not, we're definitely screwed now.

The ladies waited until we were under a dark tunnel to change into their natural form, a shriveled hag with bat wings. Somehow none of the mortals thought this was strange but of course the mist was the cause of that. I pulled out the sword Jason gave me and swung it. Yeah not good. They pulled out their whips and started lashing then at us. Oh and make is worse the mortals saw something strange like three old ladies torturing us and started panicking. "Well this got bad.", I said trying to dodge the whips. "Ya think!", exclaimed Garroth. "Guys focus we have to stop them!", said Vylad. I looked at the whip carefully and got it tangled around my sword. "Try getting that one! I disarmed her!", I exclaimed. Laurence responded by pulling out the sword Percy had given him and swung it at the bat lady. Sure enough like before she disintegrated into golden dust. "Sweet!", said Laurence. "Not sweet, there still here and attacking us!", said Garroth who was fighting one with Travis. The lady saw Garroth and Zane and stopped fighting them and then moved their attention over to us. "How did you make them stop fighting you guys?", asked Vylad. "Do we look like we know?", said Zane. "That doesn't matter right now, just STAB!", exclaimed Travis and we continued stabbing until they were gone.

A mortal saw us and looked at us with a horrified expression. "Oh Styx! The mist must've made it look like we just attacked three old ladies!", I exclaimed. More mortals started looking at us. "Guys I think we're in trouble.", said Garroth. "Oh ya think?", said Laurence. We had to get out of the bus asap! "What the hell did you kids just think you did? You just killed three old ladies who were minding their own business!", exclaimed one of the mortals. "OMG one of them has like a gun! There so totally terrorists! We should be like running for our like lives!", said a teenage mortal girl who with that made me wish celestial bronze could harm mortals. An important looking guy came out of the group of mortals. He did not look like someone you'd want as your enemy. "You three, with me. Now!", he said. Not knowing what else to do we followed his orders.
