"That's what I'm afraid of, Axel." Falke snorted shortly, looking slightly more anxious, his nostrils still flaring as they scented the world around them. Shutting his door and buckling in. His hand absently rummaged into his pocket, pulling out a pole-shaped lump of wood. Stroking it faintly he then gripped it with both hands, laying it across his lap but ready to grow into his full stave and hit the monster if it ever plucked up the courage to come at the full group of demigods. Ooc:: Would be fun if the monster did join up with them again. Perhaps she comes back when there about the cross the border into Camp Half-blood, or on the road just outside it; Mini battle to spice things up per say.[/center][/size][/color][/font]

"Exactly," Axel grinned, cranking up the volume on some rock music and stepping on the gas. They immediutly zoomed off with the flamming red head tapping the stearing wheel, his foot ful on the gas peadle, and him sining along with the lyrics. Sharp corners were also his thing while driving. OOC: Why not?

Bryan, panicing inward, dropped his coins at the sudden rush. "Hey, can we slow down a bit? I don't think the police will understand why a teenager who just attacked a 'waitress' is driving a car!" Bryan yelled. He quickly looked behind him, checking if they were being followed.

Axel shrugged and slipped on a pair of what looked like sunglasses - at night. They were really night-vision glasses, but the others didn't know that; he always kept a bunch of random stuff with him. He then shut off all the lights, even the back lights and headlights. "We won't be followed," he promised.

"Why the sunglasses?"asked Cloud. He rolled his eyes, they probably had some random special enchantment or something. Whatever. He had been ignored earlier, and he didn't like to be ignored, but of course, he wasn't going to lose his temper over some stupid little thing like that
<XD sounds fun>

"Night vision," Axel replied, turnign another tight corner. It would be terrifying for those who couldn't see at this point, except for perhaps Falke, but he never knew.

"Hey, guys?" Bryan said, after smashing his head into the window when Axel turned a corner. "Um... Thanks. For everything" He smiled. Bryan's head thunked against the window again. "What are we going to tell our parents? Sorry, I'm a Demi-god?"

"We'll tell them, after we get you guys set up," Axel began, "That you are in danger. And besides, your parent will know, probably, that you are a child of a god. Your mom, or dad, depending on who your godparent is, will have to understand."

"Pretty much" Cloud shrugged. "They might also know who your parent is, because they're the one's who hooked up with that god."

While the others seemed to grow panicked at Axel's driving, the blind man sat still and calm, not shouting out or nothing, just sitting plain as day. Still clenching the wooden block, a faint wariness was showed in the crinkling of his maw, as his lips lifted into a silent snarl. "I believe you've lost her for now m'friend, can't smell anything fresher than you four." Falke mused, as if attempting to be reassuring, but he was clearly stressed. Monsters just didn't give up and poof away, all three of the experienced demigods knew that (but they had two newbies with them, best keep there fear scents down.) But then where did that darling empusa go off too, eh? As the others talked to reassure the other that his parents should be cool with him being a half-godling, he blankly nodded his head in turn with them, even if he'd never really grown up with his mortal parent, he was too young too even remember her when she left and he came to rescue him.

Cloud pulled on his seat belt, which was strangling him a bit with it's safety feature being set off by Axel's horrible driving.

Danielle clutched the seat belt with both of her hands, as she breathed in and out slowly,"Danielle. Daughter of either Persephone or Demeter. That's what Cloud said." She shrugged, her black hair bouncing along with her. Still clutching the seat belt with one hand, she took the flower from behind her ear. It rejuvenated, like usual, and she twirled it in her hand, smiling at it.

"Most likely Demeter, but just possibly Persephone. And if it's daughter of Demeter, then your half sister is queen of the Underworld. Isn't that the best news you've ever heard? And if your mom is Persephone, then you're gonna have Hades up your butt" said Cloud, mostly being sarcastic. He readjusted his seatbelt again.

"Yeah, happy me. My relative is a Queen of the Underworld." Danielle smirked slightly, ans rolled her dark chocolate brown eyes. Hopefully, she would be Demeter's daughter. She didn't want to have the Queen and King of the Underworld all up in her business.

"Hehehe, amost there!" Axel called back as the taxi bumped up. They weren't on road now, and it was even worse if you couldn't see. The son of Apollo cranked up the music so it was blasting and sang along with the words:
Can we forget about the things I said when I was drunk I didn't mean to call you that I can't remember what was said Or what you threw at me Please tell me Please tell me why
My car is in the front yard And I'm Sleeping with my clothes on I came in through the window And you're gone Gone
It's no surprise to me I am my own worst enemy Cuz every now and then I kick the living s*** outta me The smoke alarm is goin' off And there's a cigarrette Still burning Please tell me why
My car is in the front yard And I'm Sleeping with my clothes on I came in through the window And you're gone Gone
Please tell me why
My car is in the front yard And I'm Sleeping with my clothes on I came in through the window Last night
Oh (ah, oooh) It's no surprise to me I am my own worst enemy (ah, oooh) Cuz every now and then I kick the living s*** outta me (ah, oooh) Can we forget about the things I said when I was drunk (ah, oooh) I didn't mean to call you that

Bryan stared out the window, watching the trees zoomby at full speed. He got excited when Axel said that they were close. "Whats it like at camp?" Bryan asked. "Is it always running from monster waitresses?" He looked back out the window, dust coming up from the road.

"What kind of camp is it?" Danielle asked, curious too. She swung her head slightly with the music, as she tapped her fingernail against the window.

"It's quite nice. There's magical borders that keep monsters out unless we summon them in or you go in the woods. The woods are monster-infested, so people go in to train. It's not usually from evil waitresses, though. It just kind of looks almost like your typical summer camp, except for centaurs, satyrs, and a bit of Greek stuff here and there. There's even strawberry fields" he sighed, slightly missing camp. "Hey Axel? What song was that?"

Axel nodded. "Yep, you can get all sort's of cool weapons and stuff, too. I have Chakrams, Zexion has a Lexicon, Demyx has a Sitar.... Man they're lame! Ice has some cool daggers, though; she's the Apollo Cabin leader, he's my dad." He paused for a moment before answering Cloud's question. "It was called My Own Worst Enemy."

"Axel! Turn down the music, it's killing my head from the inside. Or by Janus, I'll have you run into a brick wall every time you open a door." He snapped harshly and suddenly, raising his hands to plug his ears, wincing with the pain. Ahh yes, to make up for being blind, he was given extra hearing, really not fun at times, but useful all the same. "And stop the car soon, we'll half to walk to rest of the way to camp as I doubt the dragon is going to let this er-... Taxi-car that smells like mortal beings into the camp. Would be best not to make it angry when bringing newbies in, no?" Falke started once again, softer, and attempting to take a kinder approach with his already gruff and rough sounding voice, still wincing and gritting his teeth.

"Fine," Axel grumbled, turning dow the music a bit, "And I suppose your right. I hardly ever get to drive, though..." He slowed down a touch before stopping rather abruptly. "Ok, everybody out!" he called back, stepping out after grabbing his Chakrams. The ground was a bit wobbly because of the movement and the pyro's driving in the car, but it wasn't too bad, though he was used to it. It woul dbe worse for the others who weren't used to it.

Danielle let out a small breath, as she stepped out of the camp. She glanced around. A deserted forest. That's what it looked like to her, anyway. Her dark chocolate brown eyes scanned the area with slight curiosity. "Where is the camp? There is nothing here." Little did she know, the camp was actually pretty close by.

Bryan jumped out of the taxi and looked around. "It looks like he middle of no where!" He commented. Afraid of another monster, he walked back to the taxi. "All taxi drivers have a weapon incase of highjackers..." He explained, opening the passenger side door. He opened the glove box and all the road maps fell out, shifted by Axels insane driving. He shifted through the maps in the floor, finding nothing. "Thats odd... It's stupid to-" Bryan cut off, a reflection under the steering wheel catching his eye. He ran over to the drivers side and jumped in. He ran his hand under the dashboard, then quickly flinched. He pulled his hand back, which was covered in blood, flowing from a cut in his palm. "What the..." He exclaimed, bending down to look under the dashboard. A knife, just under 10 inches, was taped to the bottom of the dash. Bryan reached up and pulled it off, removing the tape. "See! Told ya." He said, whipping blood on his pants.

"Ow, that's gotta hurt" murmured Cloud. "Oh well" he shrugged. You get used to it at camp. "Okay, camp is right over that hill" said Cloud pointing. "See the pine? It used to be a girl. but she somehow got out, and now the golden fleece is taking her place to help the camp's borders."

He gave off a faint grumble of appreciation, removing his hands from his ears. Shutting his eye-lids until the car finally rolled to a stop, feeling his way out of the car, stumbling on wobbly legs, finally slumping down upon one knee on the ground, his injured hand clutching at the fallen leaves beneath him. "Urgh..." He grunted to himself, rising back up to a full standing position once his legs had come back to him. Giving the lump of wood he held in his other hand a shake, to where it started to enlarge into his walking stick, but stave knives glinting out of the top. "The tree was a girl; When she died, bringing other demigods to safety within the camp, and she was Zeus's daughter I believe, and he took pity upon her and turned her body into that pine tree.The boundaries were starting to fail after good time, the tree itself was poisoned, sick, dieing. The golden fleece healed the tree and resurrected the girl from the dead. She's one of Artemis's hunters running around in the woods out there now they say... Seriously, Cloud, read up on your history." Falke mused the story aloud, tilting his head to the side, as if curious himself to know how the story had come or happened to be, chuckling faintly in good-heart at the end as he teased the younger demigod. He turned away from the others to face the forest behind them, nostrils flaring with suspicion. Usually monsters never gave up, what was taking this 'waitress' thing so long to catch up to them, eh? But soon as he heard the Brian's 'What the', he jumped about startled, catching the tinge of fresh spilled blood of the demigod and the weird tang of steel from the knife he'd pulled out of the cab. "Brian, wrap that up quick. More monster's than you'd ever believe love that half-god smell, get a move on, all of you." Falke stammered, instance worry crossing his facial features. He started to follow, he heard a crack of twigs or perhaps a hiss behind them, jumping about, only to let off pained yelp. Talons ripped across his face, neck, and down to his shoulder, following on down his side; sticky hot blxxd ran from his wounds. The thing, the empousa screeched murderously, launching forward again as if to spring on the other demigods. Falke let off a challenging roar of his own, raising his stave to intercept her talons, to begin playing a push and shove game per say. His limbs shook, already becoming weakened, his face set in a determined but pained snarl. "Get. Over. Border." He growled behind him toward the others, particularly the new ones, wanting them all to get over safety. He began slipping in the fallen leaves, being pushed back only just.

A loud screech made Bryan look back and saw Falke battling the waitress thing. "No!" Bryan shouted. "I'm not going to leave you guys again! I don't want you to end up like the tree!" And with that, Bryan charged, knife in his right hand. He went to stab the empousa, but one of it's claw caught him in the chest and sent him flying 20 feet. When he finally slid to a stop, he painfully got back up again. "Is this because I didn't leave a tip?!" He yelled sarcasticly. He ran towards he empousa again, not wanting to leave his new friends.

Danielle's eyes widened, as she looked around for something to use as a weapon. Since it looked like they were in the middle of nowhere, it was pretty hard to actually find something to replace the weapon. Her brown eyes met a stick. It was around a meter long, and an inch wide. Must have fallen off a tree.
Quickly running over, she grabbed the tree branch, and held it firmly in her hands. Her hands were so tight around it, her hands almost looked white. Then, she charged at the empousa, raising the meter long stick over her head.

Axel grabbed Dainelle's arm. "No," he said, "Get over the border. Now. Or I'll personally kill you myself, if this monster doesn't. You too, Newbie!" He grabbed his Chakrams and set his coat on fire; it's fireproof, atleast most of his clothing is, and he can't get burned. Besides, it's bad for the monster, and he had extra set's of clothes, and he knew atleast his panteswouln't get burned. He sent out a flaming weapon towards the monster.

Cloud eyes widened. He followed Danielle's example of grabbing a stick. While the empousa was distracted, he bashed it in the back of the head.

Bryan slowed down as he listened to Axel. "I am not going to leve this fight without everyone!" He groweled, speeding up towards the empousa. As Cloud distracted it, Bryan stabbed its right arm with the knife he found in the taxi. The monster shrieked and threw Bryan off. He flew into the air and rolled until his head slammed into the taxi door. A small drop of blood left his lips and he pushed himself up again. "Owwww..." He growned, standing up. He started to run up to the monster again, then turned around and ran back towards the taxi. "Hey guys!" He called "Can I just run it over?" Bryan climbed into the drivers seat and turned te ignition key. The motor refused to start. "COME ON!" Bryan yelled, angry at the taxi. He whipped blood from his mouth as he turned the key again.
