Symbol Of The Gods

Chapter ten

"I'm with you there," said Percy as he and Annabeth entered the restaurant and made their way over to the table to find that Sam and Dean were nearly done with their breakfast. Sam had watched the entire thing and he had already started to act protective of Annabeth especially considering Athena and Poseidon generally didn't get along at least until Percy and Annabeth came into the picture.

"You know kid if you keep running off like this, I will start getting suspicious of your intentions," Sam said, giving Percy a bit of a glare.

"Really?" Percy asked. "You really want to go there?"

"Just doing my job," Sam answered.

"Yeah being a protective brother," Dean responded. "May I remind you Sam, that you've only known Annabeth for what? 24 hours?"

"Why do you care?" Sam asked. Dean was about to respond when Annabeth slammed her fist on the table causing them both to shut up.

"Enough both of you, let's get out of here before we draw anymore attention to ourselves," Annabeth said, dragging both Sam and Dean out of the restaurant but not before leaving a tip. Percy followed behind them smiling nervously as the customers in the restaurant went back to their meals. The group walked out of the restaurant and made their way to the nearest train station so they would get to Arizona a little bit faster with a few stops along the way. "What in the name of the gods were you two thinking in there?" Annabeth responded. "This is not how you acted before,"

"I guess some wounds just cut too deep," Sam responded and that was all he said. Annabeth also noticed that he kept scratching the bite mark on his arm.

"You have anything to say Dean, maybe you've seen something you don't like," Percy said to Dean who was also quite quiet. Dean had noticed that he was pretty much stuck and that there was no point in hiding it anymore.

"Hera paid me a visit," Dean responded. "But I'm glad she did because she showed me something that needs to end!"

"Dean she could have easily made up whatever she showed you, that's kinda what she does," Percy argued. "And keep your voice down, you're giving me a headache," he continued, making a small ball of water drop in Dean's mouth. Dean coughed briefly and spit the water out, he did not enjoy the feeling of being shut up.

"Percy, was that really necessary?" Annabeth questioned.

"I'm tired of all their bicking and Sam, you say anything else about me, and I'll do the same to you," Percy responded.

"Very well," Sam answered, not willing to protest that statement. The train had arrived as the group had bought their tickets to Arizona and climbed on board. The train was rather long and the seats themselves were colored a dark blue. Up above the seats were places for bags and suitcases to be placed. Down to the right lay the dining car and behind lay the bathroom and the wagon lift where passengers could sleep. The group took their seats and as soon as the whistle blew the train began to move.

"This is nice actually," Percy commented. Sam and Dean had fallen backwards into one of the seats unprepared for the train to move quickly.

"Yeah aside from the train moving quickly," Dean said.

"Dean, it isn't that bad," Annabeth said.

"It might help if you used a seat belt Dean," Percy commented and Annabeth laughed.

"There are no seatbelts," Sam responded. No one responded as the train began making its way west toward Arizona. Along the route Dean had felt like he wanted to throw up, and decided it was best to head toward the bathroom, maybe stay in there for a little while. Dean carefully got up from the seat and began making his way toward the bathroom. Though as he was heading toward the bathroom, he heard someone clear their throat. Turning his attention to where it came from he saw a woman standing by a window however, he was unaware of who it really was.
