2.4- We enter the Sea of Monsters

☆☆☆☆☆☆Victoire Avery☆☆☆☆☆☆

Naturally, I hate the demigod life, but that day I hated it more than usual, I mean, seriously Luke? He had no damn right of mentioning Dahlia, or saying the closet stuff.

That really got me.

So, after getting out of the Princess Andromeda, I was pretty shaken up, even more because we were in the sea.

I heard a wail of outrage from the ship behind us, but we were already out of weapon range. The Princess Andromeda faded to the size of a white toy boat in the distance, and then it was gone.

As we raced over the sea, Annabeth, Percy and I tried to send an Iris-message to Chiron. We figured it was important we let somebody know what Luke was doing, and we didn't know who else to trust.

The wind from the Flask stirred up a nice sea spray that made a rainbow in the sunlight -perfect for an Iris message- but our connection was still poor.

When Annabeth threw a gold drachma into the mist and prayed for the rainbow goddess to show us Chiron, his face appeared all right, but there was some kind of weird strobe light flashing in the background and rock music blaring, like he was at a dance club.

We told him about sneaking away from camp, and Luke and the Princess Andromeda and the golden box for Kronos's remains, but between the noise on his end and the rushing wind and water on our end, I'm not sure how much he
heard.

"Percy," Chiron yelled, "you have to watch out for-"

His voice was drowned out by loud shouting behind him -a bunch of voices whooping it up like Comanche warriors.

"What?" Percy yelled.

"Curse my relatives!" Chiron ducked as a plate flew over his head and
shattered somewhere out of sight.
"Annabeth, you shouldn't have let them leave camp! But if you do get the Fleece-"

I glared at him.

"Yeah, baby!" somebody behind Chiron yelled. "Woo-hoooooo!"

The music got cranked up, subwoofers so loud it made our boat vibrate.

"-Miami," Chiron was yelling. "I'll try to keep watch-"

Our misty screen smashed apart like someone on the other side had thrown a bottle at it, and Chiron was gone.

"I have been in Miami" I said.

"Can you name one place you haven't been in?" Annabeth asked.

"Canada," I said, "I would like to go there someday."

Some would say to be carefull with what you wish.

An hour later we spotted land -a long stretch of beach lined with high-rise hotels. The water became crowded with fishing boats and tankers.

A coastguard cruiser passed on our starboard side, then turned like it wanted a second look. I guess it isn't every day they see a yellow lifeboat with no engine going a hundred knots an hour, manned by four kids.

"That's Virginia Beach!" Annabeth said as we approached the shoreline. "Oh my gods, how did the Princess Andromeda travel so far overnight? That's like-"

"Five hundred and thirty nautical miles," Percy said.

Nautical miles? What the Hades is that?

Gods, why can't americans use the metric system like normal people?

Annabeth stared at him. "How did you know that?"

"I -I'm not sure."

Annabeth thought for a moment. "Percy, what's our position?"
