Daughter of Ykaia

When I got to the road, I waited for everyone else to come down the hill. Moments later they got to me. Leo scowled at me and complained, "why'd you make us run?"

"Because you needed it," I said with a smile. I then spoke up to our group and said, "We're going to hitch a ride with the Gray Sisters to get to the old car place a couple of miles from here. Or, if you guys don't want to do that, then we can walk."

"Let's not," muttered Annie under her breath.

"Great Sissies it is," Leo agreed with me, and Mike rolled his eyes and corrected Leo.

"And who are the Gray Sisters?" Annie asked.

"They are three crazy cab drivers that can get you places fast," Clarisse told her. "And do we have to take them?"

"Unless you know another option," I replied, and Leo sighed.

"I've never heard of these Grand Siblings-"

Mike interrupted him. "Gray Sisters."

"Same thing," Leo said. "And as I was saying, I've never heard of these Gray Sisters, but they seem fun. Let's go!"

"Great. I'm gonna try to call them now." I started to pull a drachma out of my pocket when Clarisse stepped forwards and frowned.

"Wait, try?" Clarisse glared at me. "Do you even know how to call them?"

"I'm 62%, actually more like 32% sure." I sighed. "Isn't everything about being a demigod guessing what to do?"

"Yes," Leo muttered. Annie nodded her head too, but Mike just frowned.

"Not really," He said. "But it depends on the person. I would never do something without a plan."

"But aren't you doing that right now?" Leo replied, and I nodded my head

"He has a point," I agreed.

"Can you guys just be quiet?!" Clarisse yelled, and everyone stopped talking. She grabbed a golden drachma out of her pocket and threw it out on the road.

"Stêthi 'Ô hárma diabolês," Clarisse said, and Leo sighed.

"Great, we're going on the chariot of damnation," He said, and I nodded.

"Fun, right?"

Mike and Annie didn't say anything, probably because they didn't know what the Ancient Greek Clarisse just said meant. But once they heard what Leo said, they both sighed.

"Great," Mike muttered. "The chariot of damnation. Fun."

Moments later, a taxi swerved up to us and almost ran us over, which would not be a very fun way to start this quest. Luckily, all of us jumped back and didn't get hit.

"Hop in!" One of them yelled. The one who yelled didn't have a tooth, but the one in the passenger seat did. The one driving had the eye, and they were bickering over it.

A while ago, I watched this terrible movie, called "Perry Johnson and the Salt of Measles." It mentioned the Gray Sisters, which is how I know about the Gray Sisters.

They only have one eye, which they can see through, and one tooth, which helps them bite on this gold thing, at least that's what I remember. Oh, and they are like a big, argumentative family.

"Wait!" One of them yelled. "How are we going to fit 5 in here? This is a special taxi, y'know." Tempest, I think, said that. Or maybe it was Wasp. Or maybe it was Anger. I couldn't tell.

"Try the thing Hephaestus gave us!" Anger (or maybe it was Wasp) shouted while she was driving. At least, I think that Anger was Anger. I looked at all of them and was (kinda) able to figure out what was going on.
