Lightning cracked through the sky. "Dad`s not happy!" I yelled to my sister, as she stabbed a hell hound, her spear crackling with electricity. She looked up at the flashing sky.
"Lets go!" She pulled her spear out of the giant dog. Ashley hovered about 9 inches off the ground letting her go faster.
"I really wish I could do that!" I said as I stumbled, when another wave from the sea below shook the mountainside.
"Uncle Poseidon`s not so happy either," Ashley said ignoring me and glancing down. Between the churning sea and flashing sky I was getting motion sickness.
"Prevanie!" I heard Ashely call out. I looked to see the daughter of Poseidon running towards us.
" We thought you were dead." I said hugging her,then letting go quickly my face growing hot. She blushed and stumbled back.
"No I got away" She said loudly over the thunder and crashing waves. We continued to run forward "There!" Prevanie shouted pointing to our brother. Kevin. Child of Hades.
~Two weeks before~
"This is our new home?" I asked scathingly looking at the crumbling apartment buildings.
"It`s a place Justin" My mom snapped. Ashley sighed and got out the car. I looked at Kevin he sat and looked at the surrounding trees.
" Justin, do you think we can make a tree house here?" He asked. I was going to snap at him, but then I saw his pleading eyes.
"Yeah, maybe we can Kev." He smiled then climbed out the car. I could see my moms` and sisters retreating blonde heads walking up the stairs. I also saw Kevins` shoulder length black hair, bouncing as he ran to catch up with them. Ashley and I are twins, blonde hair ,gray eyes. Kevin though had a different father, he had black hair and eyes like moms` dark brown. I stopped thinking and grabbed my bag.Then headed up the stairs.
Inside was okay. It was two bedrooms Kev and I would share and Ashley and mom would take the other room. I went and set my stuff in the room then laid down. We`d been driving all day and I stayed up to make sure mom didn`t get to tired. I drifted off to sleep.
My dream started off ...dark. I was walking around in nowhere. Up ahead I saw a yellow light. I had to reach this light if I didn`t I would die I started running...
"Justin!" I sat up straight "What?!" I snapped at my sister.
"Mom said to wake you up. We are going out to eat and she wants to talk to us," She said calmly before tossing our bracelets at me. "and it`s your turn to untangle those." She walked out the room closing the door behind her. I looked down at the tangled bracelets. Ashley and I had them since we were born. They had been gifts from our father, who ever that was. I started untangling the matching bracelets. The thin colored bands looped, around trailing a lighting bolt. My bracelet was gray. Ashleys` was blue. I finished untangling them the walked out .
We went to a fast food place called "Burgers Be Gone ". I found a seat while my family went to order. After I set our stuff down I went to order. When I got to the counter mom was fighting back laughter while Ashely and Kevin were almost in hysterics. I looked around to try to find what was so funny. My eyes landed on the menu board.
Main Dishes: BURGERS
SIDES : FRIES
DRINKS: COKE .
No other choices. Unlike the rest of my family I didn`t think this was very funny.
"What is wrong with this town?" I muttered under my breath.
"Hmm..Hard to decide," I heard Ashely say "I guess I`ll have A burger, fries and a coke."
"Me too" Kevin said still laughing. Mom rushed to the bath room so she could laugh in peace .
" Sorry we`re out of coke" the lady behind the counter said seriously. I walked away. I could hear Ashley ask, "Do you have any thing else?" Before I closed the door.
So quiet I thought to myself. No cars rode by on the little dirt rode off to the side of me. But something was coming . I squinted into the darkness...but that was what was coming ,darkness. I stared at it as street lights disappeared. I backed up, then ran in to the resturant.
"Mom! Mom! I yelled "We have to get out of here!" My sister jumped up. Maybe it was the fact we were twins, but she could tell when I was serious. My mom grabbed Kevin.
"Whats wrong?!" she asked, but she looked like... she already knew.
"There`s this big black...shape thing coming down the street!" I panted. Kevin looked scared.
"Oh don`t mind that those are just my sisters." The waitress said making us all jump.Out of the corner of my eye I saw Ashely motion towards her back. I looked at the waitress back where large bumps had started growing.
"Run. Run!" My mom screamed. I grabbed Kevin and took off toward the car. Ashley and mom were close behind.
