Chapter 18 : I Settle My Tabs

Zoe

I couldn't remember anything that happened.

There were screams and then a loud CRASH !

And that was it.

I knew we had crashed. I also knew that there was something running down my leg.

Not to mention my whole body felt numb.

I knew I needed to wake up but I couldn't.

I groaned as I slowly opened my eyes as I looked around.

I couldn't see much my vision was blurry

But I could see the others figures. I saw Henry with his head on his shoulder along with a bloody mark on his forehead next to him was Priscilla. She looked like she got it the worst. Her arm was outside the shattered mirror as blood ran down her mouth.

"P." I mutter as I turned around to the others.

Leona was knocked out with a bloody mark next to her was Thalia who was barley breathing along with Alex and Phoenix. The two were passed out in the back with bloody marks on them.

"Guys." I said as I tried to left up my hand but failed I knew it was broken.

I groaned as I heard more groaning as I turned to see Priscilla she lifted her head as she coughed the blood out of her mouth.

"P !" I said as she turned to me and as she mutter "Z."

"Oh thank the god your ok." as she continued to cough blood out her mouth.

"I think something busted." Priscilla said gripping her ribs.

"Your hurt along with everyone else. Let's get them up." she nodded.

No matter how much me and Priscilla argue we will always come together. No matter what.

I tapped Henry a little while Priscilla {though with much pain} got on her knee as tried to wake the others.

"Z. I got them awake." she told me.

I nodded as I tired to open the door but it just stayed shut.

"It's jammed." Alex told us as she tried to open the door. The daughter of Hades was covered in blood and she limped on her knee but she pushed through the pain.

"Were getting out of here. I promise you guys. I caused this and I'm going to fix it." I told them as I threw myself against the door as It unlocked as I got out as Priscilla kicked the door open as we all got out.

I helped Priscilla out since she was holding her busted ribs as she turned to me as she said "Thank you."

"It's nothing Kelpe, decides your my best friend. We do anything for each other. No matter what."

She smiled at me with blood stained teeth.

We decided we would stopped near a forest.

We all knew how weak we were and we needed some rest.

I helped Priscilla to a log.

"Ok, is everyone ok ?" Thalia asked as Phoenix sighed while she was being held by Alex and said "I guess it's just I believe there a broken bone somewhere in my body."

Alex dropped Phoenix on the ground as the daughter of Hephaestus looked up at her.

"Hey ! What was that for ?"

"Oh my bad. I just thought you needed to break more bones." as Alex smirked.

Phoenix gave her a stare as she brought herself to her feet.

"Is thy ok ?" Leona asked Henry who was looking dizzy leaning against' a tree.

"Y-Yeah. I'll be ok once the world stops spinning." as Henry groaned.

"Hey. At least were alive." Priscilla said as I walked away.

"Your finally on Zoe's good graces ?" Phoenix mutter to Priscilla as Priscilla sighed and "I don't really know yet. Well find out soon."

"Come on. We should get a move on. We can't wait till sunset goes down." I told them facing them.

"And how are we going to get moving huh Grace ? First of all were in the middle of who knows where. Not to mention were all injury." Alex told me with her arms crossed looking just as frustrated as I was.

"You just love throwing out bad news don't you Alex ?" Thalia asked the daughter of Hades.

"Pretty much." Alex said sarcastically as she grinned and went to go check on Henry.

I gave a frustrated sighed and propped myself on a log.

"This is just great. We don't have a ride, no cash and were miles away from where we need to be."

I ranked my fingers through my hair causing Leona to speak to me.

"Your birthmark. It's unique."

Located on my forehead there was a lighting bolt birthmark on there. People don't noticed it because my hair covers it but when they do they tell me "Oh my gosh it fit you since your a daughter of Zeus !"

Not to mention that time when I dressed up as Harry Potter for Halloween along with Priscilla since my birthmark looked like the real thing.

Along with the fact whenever I asked my mom about my mark when I was younger she told me I accidentally burned myself while she was doing my hair. {Great cover up mom}

"T-Thanks." I told her.

"Anyway. Anybody got any idea where we are ?" Nico asked as I reached into my bag and pulled out a map.

"We are suppose to be here. But were here." I told them as they circled around me as I showed them the map.

"Were pretty far." Phoenix said as Nico sighed and said "And how are we going to get to Uptown New York ?"

"What about by car ?" Leona asked.

"No." Me, Alex, Priscilla and Henry all said at the same time.

The others gave us looks as I cleared my throat and said "I think we can all agree that we four can't get in a car."

"And why can't thy get in a car ?" Leona asked us of us.

"Because when theses four get in a car their tummies start to rumble." Phoenix joked.

"Carsickness." Leona asked as Thalia sighed and said "It's common with Children of the Big Three."

Leona rolled her eyes and huffed.

I sighed as I rested back on the log.

Priscilla noticed as Phoenix nudged her to go over next to me.

Priscilla sighed as she walked over towards me and sat down.

"H-Hey." Priscilla stuttered.

"H-Hey." I replied

We both looked away from one another. I had to say we were both silenced for a good 5 minutes.

"U-Um Z." Priscilla said as I turned to her and said "Yeah ?"

She sighed and said "I-I'm sorry."

I turned to her as the others got quiet to listen in.

"You were right I was being self-ish. I was so wrapped up about Reed that I competently forgot about not just my responsible, the others but also you."

"I know how rude I'm been acting and I'm sorry and I'll promise I'll do better."

Zoe sighed as she turned forward and said "I'm sorry."

"Mmm." Priscilla said
"I was being self-ish not you P."

"Thalia, Will, and Spencer was right. I'm jealous."

"Jealous ? You mean your jealous of me and Reed ?"

I nodded as she said "But why ?"

"B-Because. Your always talking about him. Your always paying attention to him and I guess I got a bit jealous."

Priscilla sighed and said "I guess we were both acting petty."

"Zoe. Your my best friend. I've know your for 6 months now. Nothing can ever break our relationship. Not even a boy can break our bond."

"I love you and Reed equally. But you need to understand I have another person in my life who loves me for me. He's the most perfect boy I could ever ask for."

My head fell as Priscilla reached for my hand and clenched it as she said "But your my bestie forever. Noting will bring us apart."

I couldn't say it but I was on the verge of tears I hugged Priscilla as she hugged me back.

"I love you." she told me as I said with a muffled voice "I love you two P."

We broke apart as I smiled at her as she grinned at me.

I whipped my eyes as Phoenix asked "Were you crying Z ?"

"No." I told her as she said "Mmm."

"Sorry, to be the one to interrupt the moment but we have to figure out where we are." Alex said to all of us.

"Right." I said sitting up from the log as I sniffled and pulled out the map.

"Since we can't go on car. Let's try bus." Priscilla suggested.

"P, that's a great idea."

"But do we have tickets ?" Leona asked as I looked around in my bag as I saw 8 yellow tickets for New York subway.

"Bingo." I mutter as I handed them each one.

"How the Hermes's Did you get this ?" Thalia asked me as I shrugged and said "Because. I always come prepared."

I grinned as Priscilla said "Let's get going we have a subway to catch."

Spencer

I had to say I was at peace.

Mediation, It helped me when I was stressed out.

I was sitting in my room meditating {when I mediation I had a habit of levitating} my eyes were closed as I lit candles around me.

Then I heard my door creak open as I open one of my eyes as I groaned as I floated down and stepped down.

"What !" I shouted as I heard a uncertain voice "It's me Spencer."

I opened the door as I said "You."

At the door was Will Solace. He was standing at my door.

I had know Will ever since I came to Camp. I first meet the Sun Brain when I passed out at Camp. I had gotten into a real bad car attacked when a elderly couple were getting ready to take me home. They didn't looked where they were going and ended up dying.

I however survived. I don't know why the gods keep sparing me when it came to life. I guess my mother doesn't want me to die so young.

I'm only fifteen years old anyway.

"Solace." I said to him as he grinned hands placed into his pants pockets.

"Hello Spencer." {I had to say he was polite}

"What do you want ?" I asked him as he sighed and said "Can't talk to a friend ?"

I grimaced. Friend ?

"So you just going stand at my door or come in ?"

"What do you what me to do ?"

"Get out." I said with a grin as he rolled his eyes as I slammed the door in his face.

I went back to mediating as Will said "Look I just want to talk."

I sighed as I looked at the door as it opened.

"That was rude to close the door in my face." Will told me as I said "I'm nothing but rude."

"Why are you here Will ?" I asked as he ignored my question and asked "How your little friend ?"

I looked at my vanity mirror as I saw my reflection but with black eyes and pointy teeth as it smiled as I looked back at him and said "Fine."

"Seems, like you been through a lot."

"What do you think Solace ?" as I stop mediating as I said "I can see your not ok."

"Of course I'm not fine. There literately a demon following me around everywhere I go."

"How do you get this demon again ?"

"I was born like this forgot ? Half Demigod, Half Monster. You and Lou Ellen are the only ones who know."

"When are you going to tell the others ?"

"There no need for them to find out." I told him as I lifted my hand as I added "And your not going to tell them."

The door then slammed closed as Will noticed a mischievous smile on my face as I said "Let's talk." as my pupils disappeared and became white....
