The Son of Styx - Chapter 29

Sara POV
I stopped at a street corner and wrapped my arms around my legs, shivering a bit. Gods, it was cold out here. Why'd I have to run out in only a nightgown.

I looked up at the dark sky, nothing illuminating the dark except for the street lights which turned from red, to green, to yellow randomly. I saw the stars up in the sky, I made out some constellations. Orions belt, the Big Dipper, ectera.

"The stars tell stories you know. Many stories. Of the past, of the present, even the future. The stars are filled with wonders Sara." I looked behind me startled.

An old gypsy woman with her hair in a purple head wrap, dangly earings and other sorts of things like a dream catcher around her neck and arms. She had on one of those vintage dresses and a vest with a sort of pattern to it of blue, green, and, red, with some other things as well. She smiled warmly at me, reminding me of Annabeth and how we had some good times together rather then just fighting all the time.

"Don't be frightened Sara, the stars told me this day would come. A young girl in a white dressing gown would be here confused between two people." Either I was imagining things, or this woman was really, really accurate with her guesses.

She offered her hand to me, "Come with me Sara, let's talk." Even so I just met her, It seemed like I could trust her. I grabbed her hand and she led me down a dark alley. I caught a glimpse of two guys as I walked with her. Seemed creepy enough but I dealt with it.
