The Girl Who Stopped the Apocalypse (pjo fanfiction)

10- We're Greeks! Is that a sword?

--

We kept on driving just fine until we reached Manhattan. And that was a mess.

Zombies pooled the place, everything seemed on fire or destroyed. I drove slowly, swallowing hard.

"Are you sure thay are on Manhattan?" Jason asked while playing with a knife.

"Yes, she is" Reyna replied while holding the map "Turn right here"

"What if they don't like us?" Frank asked fretfully.

I smiled, wanting to reassure him. Then I realized I was doing so and blushed.

"Nico's boyfriend was from here" I replied, my eyes lost in the horizont

Silence fell in the car for a few miles, until Reyna broke it.

"So... We'll need to tell him he won't see him ever again?"

Silence fell again. We hadn't thought about that yet.

"I'll tell him" I said "It's my duty, I'm his sister"

Suddenlt, I felt a hand in my shoulder and nearly crashed the car.

"You don't have to face this on your own" Frank said "Don't have to go on when future seems hollow. Cause we're here. Right here"

"Yeah, were family!" Jason pipped 

I wiped my tears and nodded.

"Yeah... Family..." It was a term that felt so foreign in my tongue, but not at all incorrect.

"THERE IT IS! TURN!! OH SHIT, WE MISSED IT!!" Reyna yelled

I looked at her

"What do you mean, WE MISSED IT?!?!"

"I MEAN EXACTLY THAT!"

I rolled my eyes and took the map from her.

"Jason, come here." I said. "You are in charge of the map from now on"

Reyna pouted, but went to the back of the car.

After turns and turns, getting lost three times and changing the person in charge seven times, we reached the museum.

"Seawed fortress" Frank read from a sign in the door of the big building

"They wrote seaweed wrong" I pointed out "Don't seem really bright"

We all raised out weapons and reached for the door.

"Ok, I knock at three" I warned out "Knifes at ready to attack"

Everyone nodded.

"One. two. Three!"

I knocked twice and waited for an answer.

We weren't uncivilized, after all.

After a few long minutes, the door opened and two girls appeared.

The first one had a knife at ready, with blond hair and vicious eyes. The second one looked native american, withtwo braids and a calmer expression.

"Chill, Annie" She was saying "They aren't zombies. Zombies don't knock"

"I'll kill them!" the blonde replied "Kill everyone!"

"Um... Hi!" I said "You guys know Percy? Or Will?"

The blonde practically jumped into battle with me

"WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM HIM?!?!?!?!" She yelled

"Calm down Annabeth" The other girl said

I stared back at my friends. As soon as Jason saw the girl in braids, his sight turned all mellow and sweet. Reyna was pretending to puke beside him.
