Suddenly I grab Mae's hand to stop her from calling. No! Don't. Think about it. We live in different places. And so many people have gone missing in the world. Why only specifically us 4. And i don't have anyone who would worry about where i've gone. I'm supposed to be at school in remote country side building all the way across america. they wouldn't care whats happened to me. neither would my aunt and uncle. so who would file the complaint. Daniel would have but ...you know...given the circumstances he's a little...well lets say preoccupied. I think it's a trap. Please Mae. trust me. I can sense it. like i could sense the prophecy. it may be a side affect of being the daughter or Athena, Zeus and Hades or just plain common deduction and inference...but i feel it's a trap.

"Well duh, its a trap! They will locate us through this phone. So what? We are about to leave anyway so if they do send someone, we won't be here. But, whatever. Lets go."
They'll find things to track us with.
but what the hell...fine lets go
As soon as I hear Zaynah's cursing I leave my room. "What's going on?" Then I notice the TV. "Uh-oh. Not again! Seriously? My yearbook picture?" Then I notice everyone is staring at me. I look down. I was halfway through redesigning my skirt. "I'll be right back." I run back into my room, finish cutting my skirt, and hop back out.**
As I come back out I see Mae with a phone in her hand, and hear Zaynah say "They'll find things to track us with. But what the hell...fine lets go!"
"Let's go? Let's go where? Do we even know who has filled the missing person's alert? Because there's no way that mine is from Deb-" I stop myself. "Eh... That mine is... eh... real." I wasn't ready for sharing Debby with them
I enter into the conversation. "No! Zaynah is right! Whoever filed that complaint thing must have something to do with the capture... Hey! Maybe..." I hit rewind on the awesome TV's recording of the news, and played it again. And again. And again. Then I tried it with the news person in different accents... (with a little help from my magic) I tried it backwards. I tried it backwards and under water. Then I tried it backwards, underwater, and translated in and out of whale language. Finally, it made sense."It's a code!" I cried.
i arched an eyebrow at maj but kept quiet. i knew she was keeping something but i dint want her to uncomfortable around us. that was the last thing we needed.
"i think someone is trying to find us...then kill us...im guessing! they reported us 4 together. obviously means they know that we're together. this quest may turn out more than just a rescue mssion
"i think someone is trying to find us...then kill us...im guessing! they reported us 4 together. obviously means they know that we're together. this quest may turn out more than just a rescue mssion
ok...whats it say creepy whale girl
"A code? Awesome... Can you crack it?" I ask
of course she can...you can right?
"Well, if you play it backwards, underwater, and translate it to whale and back to english, it says:" I hit the play button."Hello there girls. I know you will find this message within the news article. You are children of the gods, after all. Now, to buissness. I have something you want, and you have something I want. It's as simple as that. If you ever want to see you're dearest again, you will find me the last living snake that has found its way away from the dead body of Medusa, and has crawled into hiding somewhere within what you call Disneyland. Find it and you might see you're loved ones again." And with that, the recording stopped.
"We've got to find a snake? Here?" I ask. "Shall I go talk to that lovely lady downstairs? See if she can help?"
"No..." I said thouhtfully. "No, we need to find Medusa's last snake, and it is somewhere here in Disneyland... I suppose it's sort of like Percy Jackson finding the marbles to get to Hades's realm..."
"Just like those pearls?" I ask. "Where's the nearest Nereid?"
medusa..hmmm. he guys...ive got it...ok medusa was attracted to what. fear. darkness. ok and the maze of edom has an exhibit you have to go in to know what it is but i bet my fluffy pink diary that the exhibit is medusas snake. we have deffinately got to get into the edoms maze.
((What is it? The Edoms maze?))"And how do you want to get there?" I ask. "Because I think that reception lady will do anything for me." I grin widely.
It's. ride in Disneyland bee have to find it
"Yeah... great. Snakes. This will be fun." I grumble. "Do we even know it is a snake? "Medusa's last snake" could mean something like her last ally or something. It doesn't have to be a snake... right?" I ask nervously.
snake...hmmm... snake. edoms maze has a snake girl. 11 years old. an exhibit girl. snake tongued bonnet girl. shes like 10 years old. a realistic statue. maybe...maybe if e can talk to her she'll agree. i mean, its been hell for her as an exhibit. she hates it. i can sense it. we have to get into edom. edom is where lost loved ones go. we need to take her there.
(hey you guys. ill be in and out...is that ok))
"So let's go!" I say.**
When we get downstairs I head immedeatly for the reception desk. There's a man sitting there, so I clear my throat. "Hi, I'd like 4 VIP passes for the rides."
"Name and roomnumber, please?" he grunts.
"I'm sorry, what was that? I can't hear you very well." I say, giving him a sad smile.
He looks up. "I asked for your name and roomnumber, miss."
I lock his eyes. "I want 4 VIP passes." I say very coldly. "And I don't like to wait, so you're going to get them for me. Now."
"Yes, miss. I'll get them immedeatly, miss."
A few moments later the man comes back with the passes. "Thank you for staying with us, enjoy your day!"
I turn to the girls.
"Let's go find that ride."
(Thats fine, Zaynah. ;-) )
"How... do you do that?!?!" I exclaim as we walk away. "First the rocking suite, then VIP passes?!?! Impossible!"
"How... do you do that?!?!" I exclaim as we walk away. "First the rocking suite, then VIP passes?!?! Impossible!"
"It's a Hades' kid thing. It induces fear. I can make people see things that they are already scared will happen. So when I say I'll make it what they see reality, they'll give me anything I want to make sure I don't." I smile. "Really usefull when you want something you can't afford."
(Fixed it. Sorry. XD)
"Well... I don't know whether to be scared or to be happy that your on our side... Maybe both."
"Well... I don't know whether to be scared or to be happy that your on our side... Maybe both."
"Just don't piss me off." I mockingly warn her. "So, that ride..."
"Right. Snake lady. We need to go to the Edom Maze, find this snake girl, and get her to agree to let us pass. My only question is, will we actually in counter sn-snakes?"
"Well, wasn't that the whole point?" I ask. "That Miss M. had her entire head full of life snakes? So isn't it obvious that we'll encounter real snakes?"
yh....or a snake girl. legend says that each snake has his or her own identity. girl will be harder to smuggle out and into the real maze
"Get in, grab girl, get out. That shouldn't be too hard, right?"
"Yeah..." I say half-heartedly. "Easy."
i shudder to think what edom is doing to daniel
"Great. Venom filled, fast as lightning creatures with inch long fangs that will sink into you flesh in a second. Injecting in you a drop of poison that could kill 50 men in less than 3 minutes. This will be fun." I say sarcastically. "We're off to see the snake! The wonderful snake of Doom!" I sing and do a fake skip.
"wow. i love your enthusiasm MAE!. yipPee. lets go get us some mama snakes"
"Yay." I say weakly. I went over the species of snakes I knew. Venomous or constrictor knowledge. Check. Venom maximum. Check. Life threatening venom to men snake signs? Check. I found myself muttering facts about man killing snakes. Everyone was staring at me with puzzled expressions. "What?"
"well. were not goin to get anywhere, if you keep balbbering and don't shut up about the snaks. i knwo they can eat us. i knwo that their venom will kill us faster than sinking of the tiatnic. but think about it. romeo died peacefully,...mabe we will to
"WHAT IF I DON'T WANT TO DIE AT ALL?!?! I DON'T CARE IF ITS A PEACEFUL DEATH, I DON'T CARE IF I DIE FOR THE LOVE OF MY LIFE! I WANT TO LIVE LIFE! NOT JUST GO THROUGH IT FEARING DEATH!" I exclaim. I take a deep breath. "Especially if its by a snake. Evil little worms. But, thankfully, they are easily killed if they are asleep or off guard. What do you think we are up against? Jungle breed? Dessert breed? What if its a variety... " I start mumbling about types again as we walk on.
I DONT THINK IT'S ANYTHING WE'VE EVER ENCOUNTERED
"Will you shut it?" I cringe. "Your aura is giving me headaches..."
Sorry. I'm just not getting what you too are getting so worked up about!
sorry i just don't get what you guys are getting so worked up about"
"It seems Mae has a fear of snakes," I explain, "and her fear is showing in her aura. It was bright, but now it's pulsing. It's like looking straight into a strobe light."
i know i can sense it too. but we need to go now
finally we all get ready and leave. we walk downstairs and into the breakfast hall. the tables are piled high with croissant, fresh bread, toast, eggs, bowls of steaming sweet porridge, trays of freshly baked pancakes. ladles of honey, and maple syrup. jars of strawberry, blueberry, blackberry and lemon jam and marmalade s. pots of steaming tea, coffee and sweat hot chocolate.
we eat ferociously as our hunger is now awoken by the food. soon we enter the fairground and begin the search for The Edoms Maze

As soon as we hit the fairground, I run into the first shadow I find. I pop out of the next one twenty feet further. "This feels AMAZING!" I yell. "I felt like I was going to die, having to walk so much!"
I grin mischieviously, and with a pop I'm gone. Vanished into think air, if you will. Within the few seconds Maj was standing still, not in shadow travel, I popped back into focus right in front of her. She screamed and I collapsed on the ground, giggling uncontrollably.
"Ruby, I told you.... That's MY job!" I sternly say to her. "Stop doing that!"
Ruby, stop mucking around. Act like your loved ones been kidanpped and not like your tipsy please!
"do you think she's high..."i murmer to mah
"do you think she's high..."i murmer to mah
"I smelt her breath... She definately took something, but I don't think she's high." I answer Zaynah, as I pop out of a shadow nearby. "I think she's just pouring out her emotions."
"i think she's beign stupid" i hiss at her. i step forward and grab her arm spinning her around. "dude...get a grip on yourself...we need to get a move on!"
