PERCY
I can't help staring as the mist disappears from the sink. I swear the guy in the picture was half horse. I remember learning about that stuff somewhere... What was it called, a croissant? A crouton?
We burst into the living room, and my parents look up, startled.
"What's wrong?" my mom asks.
"We're taking a trip," Annabeth says, as if that explains everything.
My mom doesn't say anything, just nods and exchanges a look with my dad.
Annabeth drags me out the door, down the stairs, and onto the outside sidewalk.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa." I stop and she looks back at me exasperatedly. "Come on, you owe me an explanation. I don't even know you, much less where we're going."
"Look, I'll try to explain in the car, but right now we need to move. I have to talk to Chiron about you."
"Me? And who's Chiron? I saw that he was like half..." I trail off as Annabeth pulls another drachma out of her pocket and tosses it out onto the road.
"What're you- You know what? I'm not gonna ask."
At first nothing happens. I'm about to go pick the thing up when the coin starts to sink into the pavement, and a chill passes over me.
Suddenly a car appears. At first it just looks really dirty, then I realize the vehicle is actually made of smoke.
Words form on the door. My dyslexia gives me a hard time with the words, but eventually I make them out.
GREY SISTERS.

Ooh, the Grey Sissies are back! I'll try to update next week, but I have surgery next week, so no promises....
Happy reading,
