Chapter 27

"LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" Clarisse shoved earplugs in her ears as I shouted at Caleb. He kept singing the song 'Sexy and I know it' really off key.

We haven't even traveled a minute.

"GODS CAL WILL YOU SHUT UP ALREADY OR SING A DIFFERENT SONG NOT OFF KEY! YOU ARE REALLY GETTING ON MY NERVES!" Argus rolled his eyes from the front seat as I started to hit Caleb with one of the cardboard box scraps that were in the van.

"Ow. Ow! OW! WOULD YOU STOP IT CATHERINE GRANGER! HOW DO YOU EVEN MAKE CARDBOARD HURT THIS MUCH!" I laughed manically as Caleb groaned and rubbed his head where I had been hitting him. Clarisse glared back at us as I was laughing and Caleb was groaning and moaning.

"Would you two shut up already! We haven't even gotten into the city and you guys are fighting like cats! This quest is serious!" I lowered my laughing down to a giggle.

"Have fun while you can Clarry. It's nice to enjoy yourself once in a while." I raised my hands in front of my face as to protect myself from Caleb trying to hit me with cardboard.

"You're lucky I like you princess, otherwise the second you called me that I would have pulverized you." She rolled her eyes and faced the front again as I framed my face with my hands.

"I hate you Cat!" Caleb was continuing to hit me over and over again.

"No, you really love me, and besides, hate is a strong word." He proceeded to launch himself across the trunk and tackle and then tickle me. "Stop Cal!" I giggled uncontrollably. He finally stopped a few minutes later as we began to cross the bridge that connected Long Island to the mainland. A few minutes after that, Argus dropped us off near a town. I could smell the ocean air nearby, and sat down on the ground. Clarisse was off in the distance, talking to herself I think. Once she appeared to be done, she came back to us.

"Prayed to my father for transportation. I hope neither of you get motion or sea sick, 'cause time to board the ship!" Caleb and I turned around to see a ship on the beach that looked like something from the Civil War. Clarisse guided us aboard where there were several very dead looking soldiers milling around in Confederate uniforms. Clarisse went off to order the zombie men around, and Caleb and I proceeded to explore the ship. Eventually we found living quarters that were not occupied. We gave one to Clarisse, and Caleb and I agreed to share a room. There was a sudden lurch as the ship began to move, and we headed on our way to the Sea of Monsters.

*~*~*~*

"Now do I look like one?" We had been on the ship for several days and were almost past the tip of Florida. Caleb sat in front of me with a pondering expression. A few minutes ago he had found two spare uniforms under the bed, and I had dressed into one. Now I was using my metamorphous powers to try and surprise Clarisse by looking like one of the dead men. I had rubbed soot all over his face to make him look the part. Caleb nodded in agreement, and finally held up the mirror. I laughed when I saw my reflection. We were just leaving the room to go up to the deck when an explosion shook the ship. I glanced and Caleb with a fearful expression, and took off running.
