The car drove through the night on the dark roads as the wind blew against the car and rain poured down heavily.
It was surprising that Sally could see anything with the weather, but she kept her eyes on the road as she continued to drive.
Izuku was riding shotgun as he was sitting next to Sally while Grover and Persia sat next to each other.
Persia finally spoke up "So, you and my mom...know each other?" She asked
Grover didn't look away from the window "Not exactly, I mean, we've never met in person. But she knew I was watching you" He said
"Watching me?" Persia asked confused
"That sounded sus out of context" Izuku said as Persia agreed
Grover chuckled nervously at that "I was keeping tabs on you, both of you now. Making sure you two were okay. But I wasn't faking being your friend, I am your friend" He said quickly
"We know Grover, and we believe that" Izuku said as Persia nods much to Grover's relief
"Um...what are you, exactly?" Persia asked
"That doesn't matter-" Grover said before he was cut off
"He's a Satyr Persia, a half man half goat" Izuku answered as Persia nods
"Exactly" Grover said
"So, while we're on the subject, what was the point of using that "Mist" on the students and teachers at Yancy?" Izuku asked
"The less you two knew, the fewer monsters you'd attract. We put the Mist over their eyes in the hopes that you two would think the Kindly One was a hallucination, but it was no good. You two started to realize who you are, and you Izuku, you were somehow immune to the effects of the Mist and you seem to be more aware than you should" Grover said
"Who we- wait, what's going on? What do you mean?" Persia asked
The roar from earlier could be heard again and was somewhere behind them and was closer than before and catching up to them.
"Persia, there's too much to explain and not enough time. We have to get you two to safety" Sally said
"Safety from what? Who's after us?" Persia asked
"I have an idea who or what's after us" Izuku muttered
"Yeah. The Lord of the Dead and some of his bloodthirsty minions" Grover said
"Grover!" Sally exclaimed
"Sorry, Mrs. Jackson. Could you drive faster, please?" Grover requested
The car took a hard left turn as it swerved onto a narrow road and racing pass darkened farmhouses and wooden hills as they passed signs that read PICK YOUR OWN STRAWBERRIES on them.
"Where are we going?" Persia asked
"The summer camp I told you about. The place your father wanted to send you" Sally said as she was trying to be strong for her
"The place you didn't want me to go?" Persia asked
"Please, dear, this is hard enough. Try to understand. You're both in danger" Sally said
"Because some old ladies cut yarn?" Persia asked
"Those were the Fates Percia. They basically control Fate and Destiny itself!" Izuku said as Persia looked at him in shock
"Exactly! The fact that they appeared to you two. They only do that when-" Grover was cut off by Izuku
"The Fates only appeared to those who are about to die, or if they have a certain destiny to fulfill" Izuku said
