Sea of Monsters - My Way

Grey-t Taxi Ride

We rushed to an alley. We waited about ten minutes for Percy and Tyson to catch up. We pulled them off the street just as a fire truck came riding by heading to Meriwether.

"Where'd you find him?" she gestured to Tyson.

"He's our friend," Percy said.

"Is he homeless?" She asked. Ok that was rude.

"What does that have to do with anything? He can hear you ya know. Maybe you should ask him,"

"He can talk?"

"I can talk. You are pretty," Tyson became interested in her blonde hair.

"Ew! Gross!" She took a step back. I joined her just to have a good look at Tyson to see if there was anything that could be wrong with him. I started from the bottom. He was about 6'2" so it took me a while while Percy and Annabeth info fought. But then I reached his eyes. Or should I say eye. I almost stumbled into Annabeth when I only saw one eye. He's a Cyclops.

"I didn't even know,"I muttered.

"You guys didn't know?" Annabeth asked surprised. I nodded. "Oh," her voice was small. "I must've seemed rude but still. I don't like well him," she whispered. I only nodded. Annabeth told us about her dreams. She said there was trouble at camp.

"Yeah. Ms. Jackaon said the same thing," I nodded.

"We'll talk more in the taxi," Annabeth said.

"A taxi all the way to camp? Do you know how much money-"

"Trust me," Annabeth reassured him. She led us to a corner. She fished through her backpack. "I hope I have one left," she muttered. I reached into my pocket and pulled out a drachma.

"You mean one of these?" I held up the golden coin.

"Why do you-"

"I'm always prepared," I answered both of them and flipped the coin into her upturned palm.

"Stêthi Ô hárma diabolês!" Annabeth yelled in Ancient Greek. I understood her right away. She said: Stop Chariot of Damnation! Then she let the drachma fall. Instead of landing on the ground it sank in. A gray cab rose from the ground. We entered. Three old ladies were all at the front. When they started driving turns out they were the Gray Sisters. Then they accidentally spilled out something that they shouldn't have. Something about a location that we needed to find. Percy threatened them by saying he'll throw their eye out the window.

"Fine. 30, 31,75,12," That didn't make any sense. But then we arrived at camp. And it was under attack.
