Cal sat back down next to him, "Yep! They better choose someone else."
Ella frowned. "I'm going home and packing my bags. I heard Camp Half Blood is only a few hours hike away...I'm leaving. Bye."
She turned heel and headed home.
Leyton watched. "Smart girl," he decided. "I'm going too."
She turned heel and headed home.
Leyton watched. "Smart girl," he decided. "I'm going too."
Cassi watched her leave. "Um... wait. You don't need to leave. You can have a perfectly normal life here."
Ella turned into an owl and flew home quickly, hoping she wouldn't get followed.
He seemed a bit disappointed.
Cal puffed out her cheeks, "Welp."
"Yeah... hey, you aren't leaving, too? Are you?"
Ella packed her bags with a photo of Athena, her mom. She had been given that picture by her adoptive parents. She carefully put it in the bag and added food and water. She hesitated.
She ran to the kitchen and looked for the largest knife she could find. She pilfered a huge knife, about 8 inches long. She held it carefully and put it in the water bottle slot in the backpack. She jumped out the window with the bag. She stood on the straps of the bag and turned into an owl so that she could fly away with the bag in her clawed feet.
She didn't realize that she was leaving a trail of cereal through a hole in the bag and cereal box.
Cal shook her head, "No, I'm staying here." She smiled a little bit.
