Also, this is my First FanFic so if it isnt perfect please dont flip out. I will be updating less often because school but I will try. Thanks! Now back to the story! : )

When Arianna woke up from her little nap, she saw Tom there looking very concerned.

"What happened?" He whispered  "Are you sure nothing has ever happened to you out of the ordinary? You seem like the kind of demigod that trouble finds. I didn't even have a chance to do anything and you already had her dead. How did you even know what she was? I didn't even see it!"

Her head was pounding. "I don't know what happened. Yes I'm sure nothing has ever happened to me. I knew about draceanae because I love to read. I love greek mythology so that's what I read. Easy as that."  She tried to sit up but fell back down.

Tom caught her and started looking really concerned.

"You walked over, took the spear, and walked away! You totally left me behind!"

"Sorry. Next time I'll stop and make sure you're ok." She snapped at him surprising even herself. She didn't know why she was being so mean but her head hurt, she was tired, and Tom was asking her a bunch of questions.

He looked hurt. She really felt bad about it. "Sorry. I don't know what happened back at the bus stop. My necklace suddenly got a lot heavier and next thing I knew I had fire coming out of my hands. I'm not sure what happened or what made me go over and grab her spear. It all happened so fast. All I knew was that I was tired."

"It not unusual to be tired after using your powers especially before you are trained. However, I am very curious as to who your godly parent is. Before today, I would have said Hecate but now I am not so sure."

She didn't know how to take this all.  So she did what she always did back at home when the kids teased her. She changed the subject.

"Where is this bus headed?"

He looked relieved. "I think it going to New York which is perfect."

************2days later********

Turns out, the bus was going to New York. However, it was going Brooklyn not Manhattan.

"No. This could be a problem. Brooklyn is forbidden. We are in big danger. We need to get on the next bus out of here! I don't care where too. Anywhere but here!!!" Arianna did not understand what he was so worked up about but whatever it was, it couldn't  be that bad.

"Look. Long Island is just a short ride away. We cat turn around now. We should go find a taxi or something to take us there. It won't be a problem. I don't want to spend any more time in a bus anyways. Come on.  We can ask for directions at the ticket window. "

Tom started grumbling something in protest but she wasn't listening. She had just spent more than two days on in a bus and she wasn't spending another minute on one for anything.

When she got to the ticket booth, she found that the was no line.. That concerned her but she was too exited to care.

"Brooklyn bus services, how can I help you?"

"I need directions to the nearest taxi service. Or boat dock. I need to get to long island."

"Our next bus leaving for long island is at three o'clock. The waiting room is right over there."

"No I need like a subway or a taxi or anything I don't want to stay on in a bus."

"Our next bus leaving for long island is at three o'clock. The waiting room is right over there." Ok that was creepy. Arianna decided to just play along.

"Yeah... Thanks... I'll just.. yeah.." She turned and headed back towards where she had left Tom. She turned the corner and held back a scream.

Tom was fighting a boy who looked about 15 and a girl who appeared to be the same age as Arianna. Tom was losing badly.

The girl had him in some kind of glowing ropes and the boy was holding a twisted, curved sword.

"Where is the magician ! We know you have one! What did you do to her?!?! WHERE IS THE MAGICIAN!!" The boy was yelling at Tom and waving his sword threateningly.

"I told you!! I don't know who you are talking about!! All I am doing is traveling to long island and I got on the wrong bus!!" The girl closed her first, the bonds tightened and Tom cried out.

"You think we're stupid? Were you planning to use her for a ransom? What do you want?"

"I already said! I have no clue what you are talking about!"

Then the girl spoke up. "Carter, what if he's telling the truth? He doesn't look like a monster and- " a look of surprise crossed her face. One of toms shoes fell off exposing his goat hoof.

The boy- Carter- yelled again "See! He's some kind of Demon. I don't know what kind but he's not a mortal or a magician so-"

Arianna couldn't take it anymore. Tom looked like he was about to scream again. And Carter was waving his sword around more now that he was fighting with the girl he called Sadie.

She stepped out for behind the wall. "Let him go." All three stopped and stared at her for a second. Tom started signalling her to run.  Sadie was the first to speak up.

"That's her Carter. She's the magician."
