Water and Magic: A Percy Jackson Fan Fic

Dam Resteraut.

Let me tell you something: We were just lucky that Telsa didn't use Greek Fire, otherwise we'd be shiz-kebabs.

Right after I blacked out, I had a dream.

There was a lady there, draped in a golden toga. She had black hair, which was put in a bun, and a very stern face. She held a lotus-topped staff.

"Hera" I say. "You're here why?"

"A bow would be much appreciated" She says, staring at me. I bow, then stand up again.

"Why are you here?"

"Straight to the point" Hera mumbles. "I would think that you would be running around, crying for joy. It's not everyday you meet the Queen of the Heavens"

"It's not everyday you get blown up by an evil sorceress while holding hands with your friend and unsure if your alive or not" I state.

"True. Why I am here is to help"

I really felt like laughing. Like a donkey. Trust me, I laugh like that sometimes.

"Don't laugh. This is serious"

Dam it, she can read my mind.

"Are you aware of the date?" She asked.

"Umm... Should I?" I query.

"Only if you had a deadline. Which you have now"

My throat turns dry. Crap. I never thought of that.

"The 21st of November. The date you'll wake up" She says, staring at me.

"You telling me it'll be ages until I wake up?"

"That's todays date"

"Oh"

"You'll have ten days to stop the mysterious enchantress and rescue the demigods. Aphrodite is in distress because Percabeth are separated. She didn't shampooed her hair in 6 hours, which is astounding" Hera says, pacing the... Um...

Darkness? I don't really know where I am right now.

"Wait... Halloween?" I ask. "That's the deadline?"

"Yes. She's getting impatient, waiting for you. At 12:00 PM on Halloween, Instead of using you, she'll destroy you. Unleash her army onto the Camps, and then Olympus. Halloween is a day of ghouls and monsters. What else is expected?"

"Dunno. A solecist?"

"To basic"

I think of this. Were heading West, with no idea where this enchantress is. We don't know how to stop her, But we know how she's luring then in.

Im a great quest leader, aren't I?

Not.

"Oh, and here's a gift. From me" She says. She pulls a loose thread from her gown, which glows and stretches out. She's now holding a necklace with a small lotus flower handing from it.

"It'll protect you from a danger of mine. They'll try to avoid it, but they're seeking there revenge. If you succeed, You will get nearly all questions answered. Comprendo?" She ask's, the necklace floating towards me, wrapping itself around my neck.

Wait, that sounds like its choking me. Placing itself around my neck, hardly weighing a thing.

"Did you just speak spanish?"

"Hey, a Greek Goddess likes to spruce up her life sometimes" She shrugs.

"Hmm... *Ching gan-tee aseo grande". I mummer.

(*A/N: I hope I spelt that right. If I didn't, sorry. I don't want to offend anybody)

"I heard that" Hera says, slowly fading away.

"WAIT! Whats the thing seeking revenge?" I ask. She just smiles.

I watch helplessly as she dissolves into nothing, and I slip back into unconsiousness.

"Jasmine... Please... I have potatoes..."

"Potatoes?" I ask, shooting up immediately

"JASMINE! YOU'RE ALIVE!" Leo yells, throwing his arms around me.

"Never mind that, where are my potatoes?"

Leo laughs, and hugs me more.

"JAS!" Percy says, hugging me as well.

"I'm glad you're alive to. Now, where are we?" I ask. I look around.

Were on a boat. A small one, but just big enough to fit another person on. I was lying down in-between the seats.

"Wow. Of course it would be a boat Percy" I laugh.

"What did you expect? A plane? Anyway, We'll be on our way soon. The explosion flung you into the ocean. I made a soft landing for you, and Leo woke a couple hours later. The boat took us to here."

"Is the day the 21st of October?"

Percy blinks. "... Ye-yeah. How did you know"

"Hera"

"Whaaaat happened?" Leo says, concern written on his face.

"She told me the date. Because we have a deadline now"

"Deadline?"

"Halloween"

Percy frowns. "I was planning on going Trick-Or-Treating with... with..." His eyes fill up with tears. I hug him, and soon I feel Leo's arms around him.

"Is it hug day today?" I ask. Percy and Leo laugh.

"Sure"

"THEN LEO NEEDS A HUG!" I say, hugging him. Percy hugs him to.

"AAAAAGGGHHH! ATTACK! HALP!" Leo says, the boat rocking dangerously.

"Ok ok, we should go eat" Percy says, laughing so badly. "Wait, whats that?"

"This? Oh, a gift" I say casually, showing him my necklace. It felt cold, yet radiated warmth.

"I have a feeling that she didn't visit you to deliver some dates. What else happened?"

"She said-" I started, but stopped. A strange wind had come along, seeming like it's closing my mouth, yet whispering words into my ears.

They can't know

Then it was gone.

"I-It was nothing" I reply. Percy looked at me, but didn't push me any further.

"Well, welcome to Las Vegas." Leo says.

~~~~~~~~ •_•_• I see you •_•_• ~~~~~~~~~


Buildings. So many buildings. High and short, they were everywhere. I had never been anywhere in my past life, only to the Grand Canyon when I went to a boarding school. That was last year, and for some reason they were extremely careful. Something about missing students and a teacher.

Anyway, We were walking around, trying to find a supermarket or a resteraut. I couldn't believe we saw no supermarket. Hello, people need to actually eat here! There were plenty of resteraunts, but they were all so pricey.

Oh, a drunk dude came and hugged me, but I kicked him in the splits area, so it was no big deal.

About 20 minutes later, we had walked through about half of Las Vegas and haven't found a single place to stay.

"I NEEED FOOD!" Leo moans.

"Wait, why can't you make taco's Leo?" Percy asks. He sighs.

"For some reason, my belt seems to be malfunctioning the further west we go. I can't even summon a cracker"

That's not good.

We reach the edge of Vegas. We'll, not really. Just a side with less shops.

"Ok, lets tu-"

"No. Down here" I say, pure instinct and a strange urge dragging myself down the street.

We turn a corner, and find a resteraunt. It was run-down, scraggy, and had a daisy over the sign.

"Ok. This place looks cheap. Weapons at the ready?"

"Yup" Percy smiles.

"Got my belt and some hammers"

"Lezz go" I say, and we enter this place.

                                                                       -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

We enter, and it was empty. Basically. We saw a couple drinking a milkshake, and some guys playing poker. We walked over to the bar, and a waitress chewing gum came over.

"Orders?" She asked in a bored tone.

"Um... Just three burgers and some cokes" Percy says. He reaches to get some cash from his pocket, but the lady shakes her head.

"This place is a pay-free one. We save it for the poor and travellers. I'll get your order" The lady mutters, and walkes away.

Percy stares at her. "Ummm..."

"Lets go sit?" Leo asks. I nod, and we find our table. After a couple minutes, we're served a cheeseburger and coke each.

We stare at it for a second. My stomach suddenly feels twisted, and I'm unsure if I should eat this stuff or not. Leo takes the first bite, and his eyes widen.

"This... Is... Awesome!" He cries, and digs into it. Percy takes a small bite, And has the same reaction as Leo.

"Oh my gods" He mutters.

I stare at my plate. It won't hurt if I take a bite, right?

I was wrong.

The second I took a bite, an amazing sensation took place. Then, the necklace Hera gave me burned my neck slightly, and the sensation was replaced by a regular burger taste. The same thing happened every time, even with the Coke. Something was up.

The waitress came back, with a strange twinkle in her eye and a smile on her face. "Would you guys like to stay a little while? We have a back room." She asks us.

"YES!!" The boys say, and I'm forced to come along. The seemed... Different. More enjoyed? Jumpy?

The lady led us to the very back of the place, opened the door, and I gasped.

The place wasn't a shabby old run-down hut anymore. It was a five-star hotel with an amusement park and a dancing stage with speakers twice as big as me.

My necklace burned more as I looked at the name of the place.

And I knew we were in trouble. Big collosal trouble, explaining the free stuff, the sensation, and the triumph smeared on the lady's face like the grease on her hands.

We were in The Louts Casino. And the boys were hooked.
