Alecs slowly turned around to see a tall Middle Eastern woman-at least, she assumed she was Middle Eastern- standing in front of them. She wore a long black gown that covered everything but her hands, and her head was completely veiled. Her eyes glinted behind a curtain of black gauze, but that was about all alecs could make out and it didn't exactly screamed evil to her but it didn't reassured her either. Her coffee-colored hands looked old, but well-manicured and elegant, so alecs imagined she might be grandmother who had once been a beautiful lady.
" Don't tell me she was a monster!" Rabastan pleaded his niece but didn't get a reply. Making him to swore in colourful language. Much to alecs and her friends amusement.
Her accent sounded vaguely Middle Eastern, too as She asked,
"Children, it is too late to be out all alone. Where are your parents?" Alecs turned to annabeth since she was the one usually came up with believable excuses.
"They’re … um …" Annabeth started to say. But before she could say anything,
"We’re orphans," percy said. Alecs gave him a look. Is he serious?
Regulus too gave percy the same look. Causing him to smile sheepishly at his to be father-in-law.
"Orphans?" the woman said. The word sounded alien in her mouth.
"But, my dears! Surely not!" Of course not! Alecs thought as she gave percy a glare that got unnoticed by everyone.
"We got separated from our caravan," He continued that ridiculous lie.
"Our circus caravan. The ringmaster told us to meet him at the gas station if we got lost, but he may have forgotten, or maybe he meant a different gas station. Anyway, we’re lost. Is that food I smell?" At this point alecs tried hard to not her jaw drop. Where the heck he found those excuses ? But unfortunately for her percy jackson didn't have the power of telepathy, so her question was unanswered.
"Merlin mate, you need lessons on lying." Theo said to percy who huffed in indignant.
" I do not! I can lie perfectly fine. Thank you very much. "
" No you can't " Annabeth objected,
" Yes I can. " percy didn't back down.
" You really can't percy. " grover too joined the conversation. Knowing theo and annabeth was right.
" You too grover? But I can lie. " percy gave him a betrayed look but didn't give up. Alecs watched this in amusement and finally piped up.
" You can't percy. " and to everyone's except their friends surprise percy hesitated before saying,
" No I can't. " With a pout. Everyone watched it in amusement until blaize made a whipping sound and said in fake whisper,
" Whipped." Making percy to glare at him before kissed alecs lips and saying loudly,
"Yes . I am. Got a problem zabini ? " alecs went beet read while everyone else laughed loudly at the boys declaration.
"Oh, my dears, You must come in, poor children. I am Aunty Em. Go straight through to the back of the warehouse, please. There is a dining area." The women said and without hesitation both percy and annabeth thanked her and went inside. Alecs and grover was bit hesitated but, not wanting to leave their friends alone, they too wen inside.
On the way to the back, alecs could hear annabeth and percy's muttered conversation.
"Circus caravan?" Annabeth asked him.
