The Mortal Godling (A Demigod/Percy Jackson Fanfic)

A Book and the Box

You'd think that hiding from security in an airport would be really difficult,
but on the contrary we got away really easily. We weaved in and out of the crowds of people making our way back to our terminal. When we got there, nobody there knew a single thing about our altercation with the Empusa. Thankfully they began to board the flight shortly after we got there, all three of us were able to find our seats successfully and stow away our luggage in the over head compartments as well.

We departed the plane at Lincoln, Nebraska since we had a transfer flight in an hour. I was glad about the transfer flight, being confined in such a small place for so many hours would have driven me crazy. Jacob, Elodie and I began to make our way to the terminal our next flight was going to arrive at.

"I'm kinda hungry again, can we go qto the food court?" Elodie said.

"Sure thing," Jake said lifting his eyes from his book, "hey Sophia would you mind taking her?"

"No I don't mind at all, come on Elodie let's go some snacks" I said as I got up from my seat.

"Yay" Elodie squealed as she hopped up off her seat.

As I made my way to the food court I wasn't sure what to do so I decided to make some small talk with Elodie.

"So what snacks do you plan on getting?" I asked her nonchalantly

"I want to get some M&Ms and some Pringles too" she said skipping beside me.

"M&MS? Those are like tots my favorite candy, are they your favorite too?"

"Yeah I love them so much, but Jacob doesn't like them, he likes Skittles instead but I think they're nasty"

"That's funny, I don't like skittles either"

"Actually this one time I tricked Jacob into eating M&Ms by putting them inside of a packet of Skittles. He was so surprised and almost choked on them"

I started to laugh so much, I looked down and a playful smile danced across her face, "well aren't you a little troublemaker, hope you don't prank me like that".

Once we were at the food stand Elodie looked around to decided what flavor of M&Ms she wanted. I myself leaned against the counter and watched as people bustled by. There were so many busy people rushing around, then a security guard walked by and I saw that he had a sword. But it was weird because there was a thin film of fog enveloping it as if it existed between in a different realm of reality. It was made out of the same metal as mine too. Plus what the hell was a security guard doing with a freaking sword?

The security guard looked my way an made eye contact with me, he started at me withdrew very intense dark brown eyes. I quickly turned around towards the stand and acted as though I never saw him.

"Excuse me miss, can you please come with me" I heard a voice say from behind me.

Shit, I wasn't very sure what I did but I knew I was in trouble, I turned around and saw the security guard making his way towards me. "Um I'm sorry sir I'm not very sure what I did wrong" I said trying not to act nervous.

"Miss I have a few questions for you, can you and your little sister please come along with me?" He said once more as he placed a hand on hue walkie talkie.

After Elodie had payed for her snack I grabbed her hand an we followed the security guard. "What's this guy want with us?" Elodie asked me.

"I'm not all that sure but he definitely seems a bit suspicious to me" I responded. We continued to follow him till he brought us to a door where he swiped his ID card and then gestured for us to enter.
