Truth

Chapter 8

Vi P.O.V

I looked out the taxi at the vast land filled with lights.  New York City looked so, exciting, vibrant.  Mia was sleeping so I've tried to send another text message.  I've sent like, wait let me check, 37 messages to my all my contacts.  Surprisingly, I have no answers from anyone.  Kristina and Calypso were always on their phones, and I'm sure my parents aren't in that bubble Mia created?  I can't just sit here and wait for things to happen, I need to do something.  What has Stonehenge got to do with any of this?   I still have that note Dare found in a book, I'm pretty sure Mia doesn't know about it, if she does it musn't be that important .  Mia.  She's only a few years older than me, I could take her, I think.  But then again she has an extremely sharp staff and took down Holly and Rowan 2 to 1 in less than a minute.  I hope those two were okay, who are they anyway?  As far as I've figured out, they hated Mia and Mia hated them and they weren't on the same side.  Which side was I on?  And that girl, in my dreams, who was she? It felt as if it was reality, but it was definitely not in New York City, since it had trees and lots of space.  Who was that girl?  I'm sure I know her, but I would've remembered meeting her right?  How about the country side of New York, there's lots of green there, right?  Maybe that's where Dare, Mia and I are headed.  Dare, he said he's been practicing magic.  Now I really feel useless.  I've been trying to figure out what I can do, but nothing comes up.  How does Dare close his eyes and then, kapow!  And he just breaks the watermelon  apart.  It's so stupid.  Well, we're in New York already, I might as well try to help that girl get out of the mess we're in.  I'm going to start planning and then I'll tell Dare, he doesn't have much of a choice, this is our last chance so I'm going to give it all I've got.  Lets hope it works, huh?  Ouch...  I tried to smile, but my cut's not making it easier for me. 

Dare P.O.V

I hope the airplane attendants don't check the bottom of 26A, my seat, since I accidently tore it into shreds.  I tore apart my Minute Maid, the actual liquid, into fragments and sliced my seat by, as I said before, accident.  I was aiming for the ground...  I'm glad Vi's bleeding has stopped, the cut looked painful.  What should I do now?  Maybe I can ask the taxi driver to stop and Vi and I can get out?  But we're in the middle of the highway with no where to go and Mia is sure to wake up.  I didn't think I'd be able to get to New York.  Imagine if there really was actually a 600th floor on the Empire State building that leads to Mount Olympus... Argh, I'm getting distracted.  So, another one of us is here?  I'm guessing we're on our way to Manhattan, looking at the signs the taxi is following.  No wait, the taxi is turning.  We're next to the Hudson river and we've stopped.
