Adam: Chapter 6

So all of us began to look for Josh. He's trapped in the strange house covered with heavy strong mist. I know that his kidnapping is arranged by the traitor. So I told them my dream, how I saw Fuuka and Josh together before he got hit in the head.

Annabeth shook her head. "That's not like Fuuka. She's been with him at all times and he didn't suspect her at all."

"There's another dream that I dreamt yesterday when I slept on the car." I said. "Isa warns Josh that someone's after him, and when I talked to him about that, he waved aside that question and told me not to worry."

"That's a suspicious activity, but if he's the traitor, then why is he missing? You know that Josh sticks with his friends unless he told us so. He had a very kind heart, there's no way he could be the traitor." Annabeth told me.

"Maybe he's just caught off guard." Clarisse said from behind us.

"No," Annabeth objected. "Josh is the expert on finding out the traitor, I bet he knows who's the traitor."

"But where could we find Josh?" I asked.

"Wow, that's a good question." Annabeth said. "I don't even know where he is."

"Maybe he's somewhere called 'The Chamber of Mist?" Fuuka said from behind.

Then the 3rd line of the prophecy rang in my head. One shall be tied up in the chamber of mist. It's definitely where he's bring kept.

"Fuuka!" Annabeth commended. "You're a genius!"

Fuuka laughed. "Of course I am."

"But where's the chamber of mist located exactly?" Clarisse asked.

"I don't know where, but I kind of get the rough idea of where it is." I said. "I bet it's around Mount Othyrs. The mountain had a strong veil of magic, right? So it must've been there."

"Could be." Annabeth mused. "But we don't have time to be wrong."

Annabeth's right. We need to figure out by ourselves before we act. We couldn't afford to waste anymore time. Josh could be anywhere since he's being kept at a place where the mist is very strong.

We waved aside that subject and took down the tent. It happened very fast indeed. After about 5 minutes, the tent is packed in Clarisse's bag again.

We went out from the forest and our primary objective had been switched, to rescue Josh and find out who's the traitor.

In minutes, we got to the building and saw the blue bugatti, the car that Clarisse had seized from its owner. We got to the car and since Josh is not here, Annabeth is driving since she's the 2nd oldest. She drove right through the Lotus hotel and Casino. I could see so many attractions in the hotel. There's bungee jumping, virtual reality shooting games, and laser games, and so much more. I had to resist the temptation because Annabeth and Percy once got trapped in the hotel for 5 days.

We went to the alley, where the road leads to the city again, not to the forest this time. We went to a restaurant called "Louie's Deli". I smell salad inside the bar. I liked the smell, so we had breakfast there.

We took a seat, and the waiter came to us. "Welcome to Louie's Deli. Here's the menu."

Then he gave each one of us a menu, then the waiter left.

We looked at the menu, there's french fries, cheese salad, spaghetti and much more. There's also steak, but unfortunately, Josh isn't here. He would miss the steak.

We ate while enjoying the food. It's nothing we've ever tasted. It's absolutely great.

"It's amazing!" Fuuka commented. "Too bad Josh is missing this meal."

We ate until I'm very full, since we're not going to have another chance to eat until dinner.

We felt full, and we returned to the car. Clarisse drove us to another place, this time she needed to made a fix on her backpack. One of the ropes for holding the bag firmly came loose and threatened to snap if it's not fixed. So we went to the bag shop, where we asked the bag to be fixed. The cashier had some trouble lifting Clarisse's huge backpack, but she agreed to help. It took her 1-2 hours to fix his bag. Meanwhile, me and my friends discussed about the possibilities of who's the traitor and where Josh is being kept.

"He might be in the forest. He could've wandered off while we're sleeping." I said.

"No, changing the prophecies never work. When people tried to change prophecies, usually more terrible things come." Annabeth explained.

"So, prophecies were inevitable?" I asked.

Annabeth stared at me. "Of course they're inevitable! They're what the fates had decreed. If the fates willed that event to happen, then there's nothing we could do." Annabeth patted me on the head. "Don't worry, we'll get Josh back."

Clarisse waved her hand on us to let us know that she's finished with repairing the bag. So we're moving again. We left just in time when one of the guys in the bar started a fight with the waiter. We drove away from the deli with police sirens wailed to surround the deli, so one one can escape. Clarisse drove us from the deli, she had a sweat on her face since she carried heavy stuff on her backpack. I looked at the clock in the car's radio, it said 13:00.
