The First Daughter

Chapter 14:
“So...” I said after we were finished, “Where to next?”
Darren didn't say anything and kept his distance from me.
I could probably guess what was bugging the guy, but then I guessed wasn't the time.
Lilly then spoke up, “The way you get to hades is we have to get to Hollywood, that from the stories I've heard from Hazel.”
“Ok, how are we going to get there?”
Lilly shrugged, “We weren't given any drachmas, so we can't call a cab again.”
I chuckled to help lighten the mood, “I don't want to go cross country with those siblings again.”

I looked around, “Where are we going to sleep?
Darren turned around still looking mad and he murmured, “We could stay with my grandparents.”
“Do you know where they live?” I asked, “You seemed surprised that this was where your Mom grew up so-”
“I may not have known that my mother, grew up here, but I do know where my grandparents happen to live.”
“Why didn't you say anything before?”
Darren looked back and replied, “Cause there was no need too.”

He started himself and walked down the sidewalk. I looked down at Lilly and she looked back at me and she grabbed my arm and we walked together behind him.

As we walked down the sidewalk a voice, Apollo's voice spoke to me, “I forgot one thing: Your Mother says that she loves you...” and the voice was gone.
I smiled to myself and whispered under my breath, “Love you too Mom.”
