I walked in the room and saw Annabeth coming out of the bathroom, all dressed up and ready to go. Percy just got up from bed and was sitting up.
“Good Morning!” I said enthusiastically.
“What are you so happy about?” Annabeth asked, looking suspicious.
Alex came up behind and gave me a smile once he was on my side. He made his way to the bathroom, grabbing his duffel bag and smiling at Annabeth as he passed her. As the bathroom door closed, Annabeth asked, “What’s up with him? What did I miss? Why are you guys so happy?”
I thought of something to say. Something aside from what happened a few minutes ago. (You know what I mean )
“Uh… I had a dream.” I said.
“Dream? What’s it about?”
“I dreamt of a golden deer.” I said.
Annabeth grinned. “That’s great! That’s a sign from Lady Artemis! Were on the right track!”
“Yeah, I know.” I tried to sound enthusiastic about it too.
“No wonder you guys were so happy.” She said.
Ohh… you have no idea, I thought.
“Okay guys, get ready to leave. We’ll just buy breakfast outside maybe; while we look for a ride to California.”
After an hour we were ready to leave. Alex and Annabeth were talking to guy on the front desk; asking him about how to get a ride to California. I walked outside the Motel. The sun hit me as I walked out. Good morning dad, I thought.
“Hey.”
I turned and saw Percy coming up behind me. “Hey, Percy.” I smiled.
“So it’s the dream, huh? Or was it Bolt?” he said; trying hard not to laugh.
My eyes widened and I turned to face him. I hit his arm and said, “I can’t believe you! You were eavesdropping?”
He rubbed his arm, “Ow! And no… I was not! I simply heard you guys…and…”
“How much did you hear?” I asked nervously.
“Oh…nothing really. Just that part. The Bolt thing.” Percy said.
Whew! I thought.
Annabeth and Alex came out of the building. “Okay…so we find this train station.” She held up a paper in front of us. It said, “The Amtrak Railroad”
“The guy said it could take us all the way to California.” Annabeth said.
“Okay, great! Now… let’s go get breakfast.” Percy said.
“We’ll get food on the way there.”
“Then let’s go! I’m hungry.”
We had burgers at McDonald’s for breakfast. We reached a small convenience store and bought some chips, crackers, and bottles of water in case we get hungry later. We had to take a Bus to the Amtrak since it was an hour-long drive.
It was half past noon when we arrived at the Amtrack. We settled our things in a bench and I volunteered to watch our things as Annabeth and Percy bought the tickets. Alex stayed with me. We didn’t talk much this breakfast; maybe because after what happened I really don’t know what to do or what to say. The silence was killing me… after a few seconds he spoke.
“You’ve been quiet…” he half-smiled.
I shrugged, still thinking of what to say.
His face suddenly turned serious. “Did I do something wrong?”
