Just As Strong

Chapter 10: Ares? More like Air Please!

19-19-1985. Anyways genderbent Ares.

I felt air rushing around me. "No!" I looked down and saw I was falling really far down.

SPLASH

I fell headfirst into the river. Somehow, I was conscious. The cold, dark, and blue water pushed me. The water started to slow down. A huge wave came about, and a beautiful sea nymph came up from the wave. "Yn Jackson." She said in a monotone voice. "Your father." She said with air quotes. "Asked me to give you these." She threw me a bag from seemingly no where. I looked inside the bag and saw three little pearls. "What are these for?" I asked the sea nymph. "When you enter Hades domain, you cannot leave. Those pearls will teleport tou to the surface." She told me. "Okay? But-" Before I finished she disappeared, and the river started to move even faster than before. 'Wait I control water!" I will the water to boost me on land.

"This is not good!" We were currently running from the cops. You see when I came up from the river Annabeth and Percie were cornered. For some reason, the cops thought that we were some like terrorists? Doesn't matter. What did matter was getting away from them. We ran into town.

"Thank the gods we lost them!" Annabeth said in allyway. (By the way we're in a allyway.)
"I was so scared!" Percie said. "Me too!" I agreed. I heard footsteps. "What ya' doin' here foo'!" I heard someone say. I look twords the voice and saw a gang holding bats and pipes. "Yeah no!" I start running out of the alley with Annabeth and Percie in my hands. I ran straight into a random store.
"Let me down!" Annabeth says. "Yeah let us down!" Percie says. I let them go. "We could of handled that! Well at least I could!" She gave Percie a angry glare. "Hey!" Percie says. They start arguing. I look around the old store. "Mattresses?" I ask nobody in particular. "Yes! We sell mattresses!" A woman says. I turned around and saw a women about my height with a average build and beauty. She was wearing a employee uniform wich had what looks like CrUStY on it. "Crusty?" I ask. "Yes?" She says. "Sorry for barging in here." I say. "No worries!" She said cheerfully. "You'd you be interested in buying a mattress?" She asks. "Aren't mattresses like 200 dollars? If not more?" I ask. "Nonsense! I'll give you a discount!" She tells me. "Okay? If they're cheap enough." I tell her. "Great! Let's size you up then!" She said. "Wait size me up?" After I say that sentence, vine like things grab my body. "You're almost the right size." She said. "But, nobody is the right size."
I bite the vine that was in my mouth, but I feel vines wrap around my armpits and waist. "Just a tiny adjustment." She puts a mattress in front of me. "Judging from your height, you'll only need a inch or two." She said.
'No! Annabeth! Percie! Creator! Corey! Someone please! I want to get taller but this will kill me!' I look over to Annabeth and Percie and see that they were still arguing. Suddenly, Percie sneased. She looked in my direction. She looked over and told Annabeth. They disappeared in the mattress store. I look at Crusty and saw her with a calculator, pencil and paper. 'Please, take your time!'
I was pretty sure I jinxed myself. "All done!" She said the vines started pulling. I was screaming into my gag, however; I droped to the floor.
I looked at Crusty and saw her laying next to a chair that looked suspiciously like her face. I took the vine out of my mouth. "I'm never wondering off from the group again." I tell them. "Yeah...... don't." Percie. "Take this like a lesson, Yn." Annabeth said.

We were about ten or so miles out of town. "We're never getting to Los Angeles!" I exclaimed. "If we find a car we could..... you know." Percie said playing with her thumbs. "We're already on the FBI's watch list." Annabeth said. "I guess one car couldn't hurt, if someone can drive!" Annabeth said to Percie. "Hey! It was just a thought!" Percie said. Again they started arguing. 'I feel like every time they argue something bad happens. Hey a dinner!'

We are curently eating in a dinner. I suddenly thought about a problem. "Do we have money?" I ask. Annabeth, who was mid bite. "I-I'm not sure." She said covering her mouth. I heard the loud roar of an engine. I look outside the window and see a motorcycle. The person on the motorcycle was a woman with so many scars on her face it looked like she was attacked by a cheese grater.
She was pretty I guess. She was pretty in that I-could-kill-you-at-anytime-so-don't-test-me kind of way. The women was wearing a black shirt, a black leather jacket, leather gloves, black skinny jeans that showed off her muscular legs, and black combat boots.
She parked near the dinner. The woman put her hands around her head to take off her ponytail. She then let her black hair fall to her shoulders. While walking up the steps to the dinner, she takes off her black sunglasses and wipes them. She then walks up to the door. I never noticed how tall she was. She was so tall that she had to duck under the doorway. The strange woman walked right over to us. She slid straight next to us well me to be exact. This made me nervous for a number of reasons. One she didn't even say anything, two she smells like blood, and three she was much more pretty up close.
The stranger looked right at me. Her eyes, were balls of fire. Red hot burning flames staring into my very soul. I started to feel angry. I felt anger and hatred. I was do caught up at my thoughts I didn't notice that she started laughing.
"Haha! I like you already! No-one has been able to do that in decades!" She said in a growly, deep but feminine voice. "Um... who are you?" Percie asked. She put back on her glasses.
"Let's talk business." She said putting her boots on the table.
