"Logan Lerman?"She stated"He's this actor"
"Is that why he's famous?"I questioned.
"Well,yea,but he's also very...handsome"She admitted,sort of giggling.
"I heard that there's a Percy Jackson convention in New York this week,maybe he'll be there and you can meet him or something"She continued"and with your good looks,maybe he'll give you his number."
She squeezed my cheek,as if I were a child.So,there's a Percy Jackson convention,huh?Interesting....very interesting.Maybe Father knew this,and that's why he gave me so much money.Conventions probably aren't all that cheap.Plus,I'll probably have to stay in a hotel for a couple of days,too.It's perfect it he makes an appearance there,because then my whole mission will be simplified.All I have to do is grab my gun and shoot him.That reminds me,I have to make sure I successfully pass my gun through the metal detector.I remember that during one session of training,I learned how to pass the gun through a metal detector.At the time,Father's motive was:if you ever had to escape this state,you need a gun.But,I guess that this was the true motive.
"By the way,"Alli chirped,her voice smooth and girly like "my brother,Evan will be at the airport in New York to pick you up,because there's no airports in the city.I hope that's fine."
She turned her face to see if I was going to nod or shake my head,she bit her plump bottom lip,possibly because she was anxious for an answer.
"Yeah,"I nodded my head"yeah,it's all good."
I knew I shouldn't have said that.I know,this Evan kid a relative,but,he's practically a stranger to me.So,it would be like going into a car with a stranger.But then again,isn't Alli the same story?
She grinned,the sun finally coming back for some fun,it's luminous rays reflecting on her sun kissed hair and icy blue eyes.She was honestly gorgeous,and I wished that I looked like her.I resented myself,and I envied her because she had such confidence and an innocent face.Or at least it seemed like that.I looked down at my wrist,and there was scars splattered on from about a month ago.It's not as noticeable now,which was great,I didn't need Alli to throw 20 questions at me at the same time and suffocate me because I self harm.
It was too difficult of a subject to discuss.
Finally,after what had seemed like 18 more years,we made it to the airport.It was so....so bright....It was completely white,I squinted a little,and I saw more.The bushes lined up right along the sides of the building.The gawky trees,that had chairs and tables rested below it.Possibly,for some workers are on a lunch break,Then I noticed the sky the most.It wasn't cloudy anymore,it was so clear,and the blue was....so....elegant and lightly painted.I'm so used to gray skies,and thunder filled evenings.This was truly something out of the ordinary for me.
Alli hopped out of the truck,and climbed into the back,latching my luggage.
"Woah,it's like you have feathers in here"She gasped,amazed at how light the suitcase was.
"Yeah,well,I don't really need much"I shrugged my shoulders,latching the suitcase from her hand,and we walked inside.Once we entered,she froze and stared at me with a sigh.
"Well,I would say a long good bye,but we've only known each other for the time being,besides you're already late for your flight already,so-"
"WHAT!?"
"Yes,I forgot to tell you that,I'm very forgetful"She giggled,and placed a finger on her lip.
I rolled my eyes.
"Well,good bye then."She gaily cheered.She pulled me into a tight hug.
"Don't forget to take photos"She talked into my hair,her perfume blowing into my nose.She smelt so girly and like freshly grown roses that bloom in the spring"and show them to me when you come back."
I lightly pushed her off of me.
"I don't know when I'll come back,though"I admitted,begining to lumber away.
"Oh well...JUST COME BACK AS SOON AS POSSIBLE,THEN WE CAN CATCH UP ON ALL OF THIS STUFF!I'LL GO TALK TO YOUR OLD MAN WHILE YOU'RE GONE.".But then I froze,and twirled around to face her.
"NO!"I protested,my hands thrown up in the air.
"What do you mean?I can't talk to your old man?"She placed her hands on her hips and had a puzzled facial expression on her nearly perfect face.
I heard a voice call about my flight,and how it's taking off in about ten minutes.I don't have much time,I have to go through the metal detector and such.
"JUST,DON'T PLEASE!HE DOESN'T WANT VISITORS.I'M LATE.CIAO"I waved behind me,as I started a light jog over to the station where I saw people place their suitcases.
She shot me a bright grin and waved back,then started back over to her pick up truck.I feel like this is the last time I'll ever see her.
"Why is everyone putting their suitcases here?"I questioned myself,bringing my focus to this moving machine.
"Did you think that you were going to bring it with you in the plane?It goes here,on the luggage caursel.They'll throw your luggage in the bottom of the plane with the rest of the cargo. "A snobby brunette next to me replied,pointing at this machinery that was apparently called the "luggage carasel".I guess she heard me talk to myself.
"Oh"I silently spoke,then lightly placed my suitcase on the machinery,patting it to make sure my gun hadn't fallen out on the way here,and it was in there,I could feel it at the bottom.I hope no one finds it.
I was startled when I saw it move it and carry it to somewhere else.
"Why do you seem so nervous?"The brunette shot at me,blwong a bubble with her bubblegum"it's not like you have a gun in there or anything."She continued to chew her gum.
"You're right,thank you,goodbye now"I blurted,acting fidgety.I then raced over to the metal detector.I heard here snicker on the way there,though....what the..?Well,anyway,at the metal detector, I had to remove my boots and have them hold the necklace Mother gave me.I took a deep breath,frightened if maybe some one found my suitcase,and knew it was me,then race over here and then millions of guns will be pointed towards me.
"MOVE,YOU HAVE TO GET ON THE FLIGHT DON'T YOU?"The security guard called,I shook my head then gulped.I took one step,then another and soon enough,I was walking through the metal detector.An image of an X-ray of my body was on the screen next to it and it showed nothing suspisioud at all.I leaped into the air in such glee. I was so joyful that it went smoothly.I mean,I didn't have the gun with me,but for some reason,I felt like if I went through the metal detector,I would be caught.I must have had this huge fear of the metal detector.I sighed in relief,and continued to stroll,then I finally made it to a lady at a desk,her hair in this perfect bun and a navy blue blazer hugged her.
"Is this the flight to New York?"I questioned her,reaching inside my pocket just in case.
"Yes,and it departs in 3 minutes.You're very lucky,my friend"She replied,holding her hand out for the ticket.I latched the ticket and handed it to her.
"Have a great flight"She replied,a false grin splattered on her face.I shot her a grin back then dashed through the hall that led to the flight.
I jolted up the stairs that led up into the airplane.And I stood there,all eyes on me.I've never ran that fast my whole life,I took deep breaths,the back of my throat feeling a tad bit scratchy.
"Passengers,please fasten your seat belts,we're getting ready for take off"A voice spoke cheerfully into a speaker.
"M'am,please take your seat"A flight attendant demanded,but in a kind tone"oh and we found your suitcase on the luggage caursel...I don't know why it was there."
"Wait....how did you know it was mine."
"It was the only one with clothing inside."
"Did you open this?"
"No,it went through a metal detector and it showed clothing."
"But,this girl told me to put the luggage on the caursel."
The flight attendant giggled
"She fooled you,then"her back erect,trying to look more professional.
I sighed.....just great...I looked around,trying to spot a seat that wasn't taken.Almost all of them were taken,with families,friends and all of that.I walked past a full family.A mother,a father and a daughter,sort of like how things used to be with my family.....the one that legit no longer exists.
The mother was reading a magazine,and her husband was resting his head on her shoulder,sleeping,as her daughter was kicking the seat in front of her.Oh,how I pitied the old man that sat in front of them.
"Can you try to control your daughter"The old man finally snapped,turning around to face them.
"Dear,please stop kicking the old man's chair"She effortlessly spoke,still reading the magazine,obviously not giving a damn.The daughter stopped and the old man grinned,then turned around,to go and read his book.One second later,the girl starts kicking again,her shoes thumping against his chair,producing a rather boisterous noise and the old man grunted in anger.I grinned at the sight of the scene and the continued my search for a seat.
Then I spotted two empty seats in the back of the plane.Oh well,it's the only choice I have.I brushed the little dust off of the chair and sat down,my back erect.And my suitcase secured by my arms wrapped about it.
This flight is only two hours.....but,I have a strong feeling that it's going to feel like forever.
A half an hour into the flight,I got bored and listened into the conversations going on around me."And,Harry Potter was a different wizard than the others "An old man trailed off,speaking to the younger figure next to him.The little boy had to be of 5 years of age.
I turned away to face the people in front of me,the conversation between the young boy and ancient man not interesting me in any way what so ever.
"OH MY GOSH!LOGAN IS GOING TO BE AT THE CONVENTION AND IT'S GONNA BE PERFECT,OH MY GOSH!"A voice squealed,my attention toward the two grower a tad bit more.
"I know,I know,IT'S GOING TO BE SO COOL!"The other girls screeched,you could hear her voice crack a little in such excitement.
"Uh,"I inturupted"are you talking about Logan Lerman?Is that the convention he's going to?"
I tried my best to sound polite as possible,considering inturupting people is rather rude.But,I guess it won't make that colossal of a difference,I practically whispered it.
To my surprise,their heads both turned to face me,they looked like they were around my age,maybe a year younger or something.
One had pretty emerald green orbs,and her chesnut hair pulled up into this messy bun,and her clothes had such great quality.I found it odd that it had this moose on the top right corner of her navy blue light jacket that looked like it was knitted.Underneath the moose read "Abercombie and Fitch."Must be some popular brand name.The other girl had tan skin,and Dark brown eyes.Her black hair was curled and she wore this short top that looked like the bottom had been cut off,but had this white tight tank top underneath.
"Duh."Curls giggled.
"Are you going to the convention?"Pretty green eyes questioned me.
"Well,yeah,I guess,where is it?I just-"I replied.
"Just come with us"Curls interupted"you seem nice."
"Uh,okay?"
"By the way,"Pretty green eyes spoke"my name is Ella,and that's Delilah."
"Well,it's a pleasure to meet you guys.Now,I know this sounds weird...but what does Logan look like?"I questioned.
"How can you be going to a Percy Jackson convention if you don't even know how Logan looks?"Ella questioned.
"Just..."
"It doesn't matter,here's a picture"Delilah inturpted,scrolling through her phone "here's a picture."
She gave me the phone and all I saw was a beautiful face.Dark almond colored hair that was somewhat gelled upward to perfection,perfect skin that wasn't too light,or too tanned,baby blue eyes that you could just get lost in so simply the perfect height that he could just kiss you on the forehead at,and hug you to his chest,and a somewhat muscular torso.In one specific photo,He was wearing this shirt that was gray,or well,it looked like it,since it had a black and white effect,but he just looked so...perfect.
They told me what he was like and all and all I could think in that moment was:
Why do I have to kill Logan Lerman?
