Grover laughs.
"This is gonna he fun." He says.
We start to walk again. We arrive in a clearing looking at the city after a few miles on our trail.
"Woah." Grover says. He stands in between Percy and I.
"The sunsets pretty." Percy says out loud.
We take a step forward.
"Guys. Where are we going?" Grover asks.
"Uh..." Percy quickly takes a peak at me for ideas, then looks down.
"Wait. What's that smell?" Grover says.
Percy and I look at each other confused like 'what?'
"You smell that?" He asks.
"What? What do you smell?" Percy asks.
"Hamburgers. I smell hamburgers. Follow me." He starts walking. Percy and I lock eyes, then follow him in a line. Grover, me, Percy.
There's a woman grilling in the clearing. 'Auntie Em's emporium'
I take a step back instinctively and knock into Percy. He grabs my arms to steady us.
I say, well, mouth 'sorry'. 'You're good' he mouths back sassily and releases my arms. I roll my eyes.
She quickly scurries into the house.
"Okay...that was weird." Percy says.
"Yeah...I g-AHHHH WHAT IS THAT?" he shrieks as a shadow comes over us.
It's got moving parts on its head. Grover turns around slowly and is looking down Percy does the same. Why are we looking down right now..? I turn around not looking down and a hand smacks itself over my eyes.
"Dumbass." Percy whispers.
I peak through his fingers. She's wearing a hat.
I remove his hand from my face.
I wave to Medusa. Why the fuck did I wave at her.
"Y/n. Good to see you, you've grown so much." My eyebrows go up and she must somehow sense my confusion.
"at the park-you were seven, you played with the snakes in my hair. You saw them fully unlike the others around us. You weren't afraid. I remember you." She smiles creepily.
"Oh, and Percy." She sighs. "Son on Poseidon." She clicks her tongue.
"It's safe to look up, you know. Have some confidence boys." A snake hisses
"Okay..." He looks up.
"And who might you be?" She gestures to Grover.
"M-me?" He asks.
"Yes." She responds, stretching out the s.
"Grover?" He says tentatively.
"Hello. Why don't you three come inside?" She begins to walk and I follow her. Forger and Percy both grab one of my arms.
"Let her go." She tells him, they stay. "I won't hurt her." They slowly release.
"Okay...where-where are you Uhm going?" Percy asks her on the way.
"My house. I'll feed you." Grover and I sideye eachother. I offer him a shake of my head so faint I myself could hardly feel it.
Percy gulps.
