NOTE: So i'm not going to delete my previous 'Update' since it's obvious that I have more of the story up. Sorry to give you guys a fright, I just needed some inspiration to keep this story going. Thanks to one of my readers who offered up some of their ideas the story will keep going. 

Chapter 11:

(Y/N) POV:
Argus met Percy, Grover and I at the edge of camp, he was waiting in the driver's seat of a large beige van. His multiple blue eyes scanning every direction at one, it was seriously creepy yet oddly intriguing to watch. He turned to us and motioned for us to load up. Percy took my bag and disappeared around the back side of the van. I took my seat behind the front passenger seat, leaving it so Percy could sit up front. Argus was a nice guy, but I never really got used to the eye thing. Grover hopped into the very back and started munching on something that did not look edible.
A can I think. Once Percy finished loading up he jumped into the front seat and Argus pulled away from the camp.

----Time skip----

Argus drove us to the nearest city before dropping us off and heading back. I was officially on my first quest, stuck in the open where everything wanted to kill me. I reached my hand out and gripped the sleeve of Percy's sweater. I felt like my stomach just dropped. He looked over to me, "You okay (Y/N)? You look pale..." I shook my head 'no', "I'm really nervous, I feel like my stomach just dropped 20 feet and that everything is spinning around me." He gave me a sympathetic smile, "It's okay (Y/N), everyone's nervous on their first quest." He wrapped an arm around me and I leaned my head into his chest. Grover looked at us awkwardly, Grover cleared his throat "You should have seen me on my first quest, I was a mess... I'm sure you'll do 100 times better than me." Percy nodded in agreement making Grover scoff at him, "How about we think about where we should start heading. Apate said Scylla hides in the sun's shadow right? And that she was by the sea, so where do you think she is (Y/N)?" I tried thinking about it, if she was by the sea she had to be on the east or west coast, she hides from the sun so most likely the west coast. Apate also said she was by a cliff. That leaves a few areas, but all of them are on the west coast, on the other side of the country. I sighed, "She's on the west coast, probably California. She'll need to be in an area with lots of boats but not a lot of people on the shore. That's all I've got." He nodded, "It's a start. Only thing we need now is a way there. Buses would take forever and are pretty vulnerable. A plane would be nice, if Zeus didn't hate me. If any of us had money we could get a rental car but I doubt any of us have enough to afford to buy the place a new car." I sighed. "What are our other options?" Percy stopped for a moment, "I'm not really sure there are other options, it's just what danger are you more prepared for?" I had a hard time deciding, I liked how quick a plane was but if any airborne monster or zeus attacked then that plane would be going down, with us and every normal person aboard. A bus also had bystanders but it wouldn't be instant death for them, but a bus also means that our trip is going to last just over a week. " I think a bus would be the safest bet, Bystanders aren't in as much danger and it's most likely the cheapest option for us right now. But it means we're going to be traveling for over a week, and we don't know when our deadline is. How do we know scylla won't do this horrible thing before we get to her?" Percy started to rub my head like a little kids, "It's okay, Chances are we'll run into some of her underlings and gods forbid they actually know how to keep a secret. Trust me, everything will be fine." I nodded before pushing his hand off my head. "Okay, so to the nearest bus station then?" "Sure thing (Y/N), this is your quest." Percy gave me a smile before walking off towards what I assumed was the direction of a bus station. Grover put his hand on my shoulder and stopped me from following him, "Hey (Y/N), what's going on with you two? You seem awfully close recently." I stammered, "Ugh, nothing. We're just really good friends is all." I gave him an awkward smile but my answer obviously didn't put his suspions to rest.

----Time Skip----

Our first bus trip didn't go too badly, we had a close run in with an Empusa but it didn't prove to be a problem. We decided to rent a hotel room for the night so that we could have somewhere private and calm to do some strategizing. No one in camp half blood had fought Scylla in a long time so any we didn't have any tips on how to fight her. After booking into a room on the second floor we took what little belonging we had and settled into our room, it was small and old with two single beds. We didn't need more since someone always had to be on watch. I flopped down onto the closet bed while percy flopped into the other. Grover gave us an 'ah man' look and percy chuckled, "You snooze you lose." Grover frowned, "Come on Percy, that's unfair. I was stuck behind you." Grover pouted, "Ah okay, i'll give the bed. On one condition. You run down to the nearest corner store and buy us some food." "But Percy that's pretty far away." "Exactly why you need to go, (Y/N) and I are demigods, if we go we might get attacked." GRover sighed, "Fine, i'll be back in a bit." Grover groaned and then left, he must hate having to do errand runs for us. I'll make sure to make t up to him. I wonder how he likes coffee? "Hey (Y/N)." I rolled onto my side to look at percy, "Yeah?" "What type of music do you like?" I thought about that for a second, "I don't really have a favourite, Why? Did you want play some?" He nodded, "Then i'll let you pick percy, I'm curious what songs you like." Our hotel room had a small laptop on the desk in the back corner, percy walked over to it and opened up youtube. I wasn't expecting a love song to start playing. He walked over to me and held out his hand, "May I have this dance?" I chuckled and smiled, "Of course." I sat up and took his hand. He led me to a more open part of the room and started to dance with me. It was fun, it helped get my mind off the quest for a bit and since grover was out for a bit I could get nice and close with percy.

A few songs played and our dancing got less active, by the end we were just holding each other and swaying to the music. "I love you (Y/N)." Percy rested his chin on my head, "I love you too percy."I nuzzled my head into his chest. I felt so happy in this moment, I wanted to keep holding him forever. Percy lifted his chin off my head and rested his forehead against mine. His eyes were full of desire and I couldn't stop myself from blushing, "(Y/N), What do you want to do right now?" He had a little smirk on his face as he said that. I was too embarrassed to say anything so I just kissed him. Percy replied with full force deepening the kiss, his hands trailed down to my low back and stopped on my hips. My knees started to feel weak.

Unfortunately, we had lost track of time. And guess who was back. Grover.
