The Vampires of the Night: Chapter 18

Mikmak’s POV

I packed some spares of extra clothes, snacks, nectar and ambrosia (in case of emergencies) and anything I needed for traveling. I met my company at the half-blood hill were Thalia’s tree was standing. Evan, Luna, Josh and me, I think this quest is going to be exciting. But then, our main objective is to find our lost friend Kari.

Many campers were crowding the area, saying their good lucks and farewells.

“I wish when you come back Kari is with you.” Chiron said.

All of us nodded and got on our way.

“Um… we don’t have a ride by the way.” I said. Were going to a very far place with no ride, cool.

“No, we have a ride.” Josh replied.

Then after a pretty long walk we spotted a house. We entered the gate and it seemed that no one was home. “Er, Does any of you know that this is trespassing?” I exclaimed. “No, like I said we have our ride and were getting it here. Welcome to my house by the way.” Josh informed me.

“Oh…” I mused. I didn’t know that Josh have a house that was close to camp. Then a woman came out and greet us, I bet she’s Josh’s mother.

“Mom, were going to use my car.” Josh said. Then we walked to a garage at the back of the house and there’s a cool blue bugatti car, it’s waiting for us. We went inside the car and rode to our way.

I fell asleep. Then I heard a loud bang! That shook me really hard. The car crashed in a post light. The bumper and hood had a bad damage. I immediately looked around. My friends were struggling to get out of the car. And I’m still half-conscious.

Luna slapped me that awaken my senses completely. “Come on! Were going to die if we won’t come out now!”

Evan kicked the side door and the door flew. We got out fast and luckily, were still alive. We ran away from the smoking car and after a few meters the car exploded.

“Where are we? How did the car bump on that post?” I wondered. I’m still shivering.

“Somewhere here in Chicago. And that’s the reason.” Evan pointed to the direction where the car exploded. When the smoke was gone an image of a bull-man appeared, I mean the minotaur. We readied ourselves for a new battle.

"That's great."
