Keep calm and go to Scotland.

I still couldn't believe how Jana had managed to bring me here along with her

Flashback

A few months after our trip to Greece, I was sitting on my bunk staring outside my window when a familiar blonde haired girl rushed in the cabin. Jana, my bestest friend and not-so-secret love of my life, was wearing her usual mismatched shoes and her biggest smile.

"We are going to Scotland. And you are not getting out of this"she stated and handed me my airplane ticket

End of flashback

Right, she could be very persuasive. I was brought back to the present when she shook my shoulder.

"Huh, what? Yeah, sure"I answered, not really caring what she had asked me as long as it was something we'd get to do together.

I looked around at the cozy kitchen of her house. Her younger sisters were simply adorable, just like their eldest sister, and her dad was welcoming and open-hearted, just like her step-mother. They may not be blood related, but they were both incredible, each in her own special way. I grinned at Jana and took a bite of my slice of bread.

I couldn't help but secretely laugh along with Jana's sisters. Her expresion was priceless; all wide eyes and light blush. So much like her.

As soon as I was done with my breakfast, I rushed in my room and chose my outfit for the day before jumping in the shower. Hurrying in fears of being late, I quickly put on my new, ripped black jeans and dark blue shirt with a hippocampi on the front. I pulled on my jean jacket before walking out of the door and down the stairs. Soon, Jana joined me. I grinned at her and took her backpack, passing it over my shoulder.

"Let's go then! We don't want to miss the bus again!"I teased her

The time in the bus seemed to pass in a blur and soon we were standing next to some fields.

"Nice place. Have you been coming here a lot as a kid?"I asked curiously and wrapped my arm around her shoulders casually as we kept walking. The place did look breathtaking, it was the simple, natural kind of beauty that left you with a smile on your face. I could totally picture a mini Jana running around here.

"So, why did you bring me here again?"I asked teasingly as I pushed some hair that had escaped her braid by the wind behind her ear

"You should get back though, it's dangerous"I said worriedly as I stood next to her."If the wind changes course, you might fall. And without me, you'll crash into the water which will feel like cement"

But I could understand why she liked it. It gave you a weird, kind of powerful feeling. I grinned stupidly and turned to face her.

"Wanna jump?"I asked plaufully

I whined as we walked away but followed quietly. That was until she suggested running.

"Oh, so you hate jumping off cliffs but you wanna race?"I pouted childishly and crossed my arms."Nuh-huh!"

OOC:Super long post, I know :P

OOC: Short too, but I'm outbalancing it with dis booteful picture :P

BIC:

"Mr Bond, there's a difference between falling twenty meters down and running on a safe path," she laughed. "I don't see what you're so afraid of," she playfully added, a glint of mischief in her green eyes.

I gasped in mock hurt."I'm not afraid!"I exclaimed and picked her up."You are!!!! I'm the son of a sea god, woman!"I laughed and tickled her sides

I chuckled and placed her down

"If I beat you, we jump"I extended my hand for her to shake."No foul game"

I froze but casually turned around, pretending to stare at the city as I wrapped my arm around her waist protectively. There he was, a strange guy obviously staring. How long had he been there? What had he heard? Could he see through the Mist? Was it an older demigod?

"What shall we do?"I whispered in her ear when I leaned down to kiss her cheek as a pretence. Not that I didn't like it, but it wasn't the best time for romance right now

I nodded in agreement, hiding it by burying my nose in her hair."Do you have your weapons ready? My sword is back at your house"I asked in a wisper, covering it with a light laugh, as if she had told me a joke or something funny.

In front of them, the man suddenly took his hat off in a mocking salutation. He was tall, and seemed to get taller by the second. Now his face was revealed, Jana Kay could see his something like a snake tongue flickering between his fangs. He was not a Cyclops, nor a Laistrygonian. The daughter of Demeter was sure she had seen at least one illustration, but didn't remember.

"Oh dear," she murmured back, her heart starting to race with panic. "I can give you my sword, but I don't know if I packed my labrys."

Opening her bag, she spasmodically searched in it for several moments. No, she didn't have it, she had sandwiches, a bottle of soda, some muffins, a spare shirt just in case, her wallet.... oh, there it was!

"Wrong alert. I have my labrys," she breathed, pulling out her hair needle before giving James her phone. "That's my sword, just switch it on to transform it."

OOC: It's an ophion. Not Ophion, the primordial, but ophion, like, the male counterpart of Echidna.

I quickly turned on the phone, which transformed into a sword in my hand. It wasn't as comfortable as mine, but I could use it easily."What is this thing?!"I yelled over the suddenly loud wind as the monster took his time turning into his true form. Panick seeped in, I hadn't trained in a long time and I was never good at team fighting. Of course Jana was different, but still. What if I messed up and ended up getting us both killed?

"Okay, here it goes"I mumbled to myself as I threw two water balls at the monster."HEY, YOU!!!! OVER HERE, YOU UGLY IDIOT!!!!"I yelled in order to distract him from the moving target called Jana. The monster hissed and smirked down at me before attacking. I quickly moved to the side, letting gravity and his momentum work their magic as the giant came crashing down to earth. Not risking going any closer than was safe, I jumped away but still at the edge of the cliff, never breaking my connection with my element

"JANA!"I screamed and attacked the monster, pure rage my motivator. I let out a cry as I hit the ankle of the monster with all my power, dancing away before he could get to me. Closing my eyes for a second, I raised my hand and three water balls flew towards the giant, their speed making them feel like cement."TAKE THAT, YOU FREAK!!!"I yelled with all my power and back even further away, trying to catch the monster's attention so Jana could take a break
