Annabeth
"Would you like some scones? I made some myself!" Chieko pushed a plate full of hot steaming scones onto a small, wooden table. I don't like scones but hey, I'm starving so why not?
"Thanks." Alec stuffed one scone into his mouth. "Yum! It has blueberries and..." Alec began coughing.
"Alec?" Lucas asked. "You ok?"
Alec began squeezing his neck.
"Oh my gosh he's choking!" I said. I never experienced someone choking so this was a real shock.
Chieko began hitting Alec's stomach with a hammer. The scone flew out of his mouth and landed onto the plate. Perfectly also. "This hammer always works. These scones always makes people choke."
The scone in my hand didn't seem appetizing anymore. It seemed like poison. "You have any another snacks? We are starving!"
"Yeah!" Lucas and Alec said together.
"Mmm... we do have peanut butter sandwiches..." Chieko looked down thoughtfully at a box in the corner of the tent.
I could see Lucas and Alec's mouths watering, and I found mine watering also. Mmm! Peanut butter sandwiches... I could almost taste the creaminess of the peanut butter, on my tongue.
"But under one condition!" Chieko said. "You'll have to help us find Glinda."
"Okay! Easy!" Lucas said, eyes fixed on the box.
"Yep." Me and Alec said together.
"It's very dangerous, and I can see that Annabeth here is new to this demigod...ness." Now that was just insulting! Well, it was true... I was new...
"But I took down the Nemean Lion!" I said out loud. Chieko fixed her eyes on me.
"Really? Well you are a daughter of Hades. Adding you two would complete the Big Three's children... and Alec over there can have some "bonding time" with his sister. Deal! Now we have set up your beds over outside." Chieko opened the box and gave us some peanut butter sandwiches, on-the-go.
We ate our sandwiches greedily and settled into our separate tents.
Glinda
The walls were icy cold. The ceiling, covered with sharp icicles. The floor, filled with powdered snow. I couldn't stop shivering. I buried myself deeper in my jacket. The god walked threw the walls like water.
"Tell me where Gaia slumbers!" He boomed.
I only chattered my teeth in response. I knew he didn't mean to act so mean! But he was so scary! Plus, who'd act so unsmarticle? Killing Gaia meant that you'd kill earth, killing hundreds of mortals! My daddy's a mortal... his name is George! He works in Colorado, making guns for the war in that place in Africa.
I missed Chieko. I missed Cylena. I missed Gravy and Panda. I mostly missed Helina, my best friend. I really hoped and prayed that they would find those other three. Does that confuse you? My daddy is catholic and my mom is greek so, I mostly believe in God though....
"Fine! Since you won't answer, I'll turn the AC off for a while...." The icy god looked at a thermometer high enough so I couldn't reach it.
He was about to go back out, but as he was midway through the wall, I used my ability to be cuter.
"Wait! Can you let me out?" I said it with the cutest voice you could imagine.
The ice god took a long hard look at me. Then he smiled and let me out of the prison, through the corridors of ice, and then out of the snowy kingdom.
"Now, good-bye!" I giggled.
Suddenly, I noticed he was breaking the spell. But before he was wondering where he was, I had flashed out of sight.
