*b*Part two*b*



The bus slowed to a stop beside a large red building, which looked like museum. The museum of nowhere It then crossed my mind i hadn't paid much attention to what i was wearing. I looked down, and saw i was wearing a pair of blacj leggings and a light gray sweater. I also had a small silver locket. I then felt a strand of hair, to find out it was shade of light brown. I shuddered at the realisation i had no idea what i looked like before now. I don't know how someone could forget something like that.
"So a crash course for the amnesiac," Leo began, in a voice of someone who was simply pretending to be helpful. "We go to the 'Wilderness school' which means we're 'bad kids'. Your family, or court, or whoever, decided you were too much trouble, so they shipped you off to this lovely prison- sorry, 'boarding school'- in Armpit, Nevada, where you learn valuable nature skills like running ten miles a day trough the cacti and weaving dasies into hats! And for a special treat we g on 'educational' field trips with coach Hedge, who keeps orded with a baseball bat. Is it all coming back to you now?"

I shook my head "Not really." "No," Jason agreed. Leo rolled his eyes. "Your both really gonna play this out, huh? Okay so the four of us started here together this semester. We're totally tight. You do everything i say and give me your dessert and do my chores-" "Leo!" Piper snapped. "Fine. Ignore that last part. But we are friends. Well, Piper's a little more than your friend, Jason, and you might know Lily is more than my friend, the last few weeks-"
So it was true, i had been going out with Leo. But why couldn't i remember it? I felt my face burn and Jason's did too. "Leo, no offense but please shut up for a second. " I said. "Whatever you say-" You could tell he wanted to add something but you gave him a look like 'im serious shut up' so he did. "They've both got amnesia or something. We've got to tell someone-" Piper said. Just then a boy walked up to me. "Yo Lily, don't talk to these bottom feeders. Your my partner, remember? "
I just ignored him. He hooked his arm through mine and tried to drag me away but i managed to slip my arm out of his. "Don't you dare touch me again. " I said with a hint of annoyance in my tone. He just ignored this and fixed his eyes on Piper instead "Come on, sweetheart. Your my partner today, aren't you lucky!" He took her arm and dragged her through the museum entrance.
We walked through he building, stopping here and there for coach Hedge to lecture us with his megaphone, which alternately made him sound like a Sith Lord or blared out random comments like "The pig says oink." I had to stifle my laughs every time he began talking like Darth Vader. When the microphone blurted out, "Luke, i am your father." i burst out laughing. Coach glared at me, but i quickly cover my laugh with a cough.
Leo kept pulling out nuts, bolts, and pipe cleaners from the pockets of his jacket and putting them togehter, like he had to keep his hands busy at all times. "Leo, can't you stop moving for like three seconds?" I asked him. "Like i said before- oh wait, you forgot, let me remind you- i'm super ADHD. And i fet bored easily." I mumbled something under my breath, that even i couldn't entirely understand. Leo just looked at me confused. Some girls kept looking over at Piper and Dylan and snickering. I figured these girls were the popular clique. They were making jokes about her family like "Hey, Piper, was your mom in this tribe? Oh, that's right. You never knew your mom." I gritted my teeth. Leo glanced at me then shook his head. I started getting bored from the coach's talking. Just then some kind of picture appeared in my mind. No. It was like i was there. From someone's point of view. I could see a boy, he had black hair, and was wearing some kind of orange shirt with something written on it. I couldn't see what, but i could see some kind of horse, with wings. Pegasus. *i*How did i know that?*i* He was standing in the water, with a- trident? Floating above his head.The only thing that came to my mind was. "What's Poseidon's symbol?" i asked out loud without thinking about it. Leo looked at me strangely. "What?" he asked. "What's Poseidon's symbol?" i repeated the question. "Uh- a trident? " he said looking confused. "Why?" he asked. I didn't anwser him.

We reached the far end of the exhibit hall, where some big glass doors led out to a terrace. "All right, cupcakes," coach Hedge announced. "You are about to see the Grand Canyon. Try not to break it. he skywalk can hold the weight of seventy jumo jets, so you featherweights should be safe out there. If possible, try to avoid pushing each other over the edge, as that would cause me extra paperwork." I snorted. The coach opened the doors, and they all stepped outside. The grand Canyon spread before them, live and in person. Extending over the edge was a horseshoe- shaped walkway made of glass, so you could see right through it. Thunder rumbled overhead. A cold wind almost knocked Jason sideways. "This can't be safe." Leo squinted at the clouds. "Storm's right over us, but it's clear all the way around. Weird huh?" I looked up and Leo was right. A dark circle of clouds had parked itself over the skywalk, but the rest of the sky in every direction was perfectly clear. I had a bad feeling about that.

"We may have to cut this short, so get to work! Remember, complete sentences!" coach Hedge yelled. "Take the worksheet." Jason handed Leo the paper. "I'll be right back." I decided to follow him. "Did you do this?" the coach asked him. Jason took a step back. "Do what?" Coach Hedge glared at him, his beady little eyes glinting under the brim of his cap. "Don't play games with me, kid. What are you doing here, and why are you messing up my job?" "You mean.. you don't know me? I'm not one of your students?" Jason said. Hedge snorted. "Never seen you before today." "And me?" i spoke up. He studied me. "Nope. Who are you both?" I shrugged. "Look sir, i don't know how i got here. I just woke up on the school bus." Jason nodded in agreement.
"Got that right" Hedge's gruff voice dropped to a murmur, like he was sharing a secret. "You got a powerful way with the Mist, kid, if you can make all these people think they know you; but you can't fool me. I've been smelling a monster for days now. I knew we had and infiltrator, but you don't smell like a monster. You smell like a half-blood so. Who are you? And where'd you come from?" Jason decided to anwser honestly. "I don't know who i am. Neither does she. I don't have any memories. You've got to help us both." Coach Hedge studied his face like he was trying to read Jason's thoughts.
"Great," Hedge muttered. "Your being thruthful." "Of course i am! And what was all that about monsters and half-bloods? Are those code words or something?" I raised an eyebrow. It wanted to trigger a memory.*i*Half-bloods*i*... Coach narrowed his eyes "Look, kid" Hedge said, "I don't know who you are, i just know what you are, and it means trouble. Now i got to protect four of you rather than two. Are you the special package? Is that?" I frowned. Now i was beginning to to thing he was nuts... "What are you talking about?" Hedge looked at the storm. The clouds were getting thicker and darker, hovering right over the sky-walk. "This morning," Hedge said, "I got a message from camp. They said an extraction team is on the way. They're coming to pick up a special package, but they wouldn't give me details. I thought to myslef, fine. The two im watching are pretty powerful, older than most. I know they're being stalked. I can smell a monster in the group. I figure that's why the camp is suddenly frantic to pick them up. But then you two pop up out of nowhere. So, are you the special package?"


*b*Translation*b*

Avtobus je upočasnil in se ustavil ob veliki rdeči stavbi, ki je bila videti kot muzej. Muzej od nikoder. Takrat mi je padlo na pamet, da nisem bila preveč pozorna na to, kaj imam oblečeno. Pogledala sem navzdol in videla, da nosim par črnih pajkic in svetlo siv pulover. Imela sem tudi majhen srebrn medaljon. Nato sem potipala pramen las in ugotovila, da je odtenek svetlo rjave barve. Zgrozila sem se ob spoznanju, da nisem imela pojma, kako sem izgledala prej. Ne vem, kako lahko nekdo pozabi kaj takega.
"Torej hitri tečaj za bolnika z amnezijo," je začel Leo z glasom nekoga, ki se samo pretvarja, da je ustrežljiv. »Hodimo v 'Wilderness school', kar pomeni, da smo 'slabi otroci'. Vaša družina, sodišče ali kdorkoli se je odločil, da ste preveč težavni, zato so vas poslali v ta čudoviti zapor - oprostite, 'internat' - v Armpitu v Nevadi, kjer se naučiš dragocenih naravoslovnih veščin, kot je tek deset milj na dan skozi kaktuse in tkanje klobukov iz marjetic! In za posebno poslastico gremo na 'izobraževalni' izlet s trenerjem Hedgeom, ki skrbi za bejzbolsko palico, se ti zdaj vse vrača?"

Zmajala sem z glavo: "Ne res." "Ne," se je strinjal Jason. Leo je zavil z očmi. "Bosta oba res odigrala tole, kaj? V redu, torej smo vsi štirje začeli tukaj skupaj ta semester. Popolnoma smo tesni. Naredi vse, kar ti rečem, in mi daj svojo sladico in opravljaj moja opravila..." "Leo!" je zabrusila Piper. "V redu. Prezri ta zadnji del. Vendar smo prijatelji. No, Piper je malo več kot tvoj prijatelj, Jason, in morda veš, da je Lily več kot moja prijateljica, zadnjih nekaj tednov..."
Torej je bilo res, hodila sem ven z Leom. Ampak zakaj se nisem morala spomniti? Čutila sem, da moj obraz gori in tudi Jasonov. "Leo, brez zamere, ampak prosim za trenutek utihni." sem rekel. "Kar koli rečeš-" Lahko bi rekli, da je želel nekaj dodati, a sem ga pogledala, kot da bi mu rekla "resno utihni", zato je to storil. "Oba imata amnezijo ali kaj podobnega. Nekomu moramo povedati..." je rekla Piper. Ravno takrat je do mene stopil fant. "Yo Lily, ne govori s temi spodnjimi hranilci. Ti si moj partner, se spomniš?"

Samo ignorirala sem ga. Svojo roko je zataknil za mojo in me poskušal odvleči stran, a mi je uspelo zdrsniti roko iz njegove. "Ne upaj se me več dotakniti." sem rekla s kančkom jeze v tonu. To je preprosto ignoriral in namesto tega uprl oči v Piper. "Daj no, ljubica. Danes si moj partner, ali nimaš sreče!" Prijel jo je za roko in jo odvlekel skozi vhod v muzej.
Sprehodili smo se skozi njegovo stavbo, se tu in tam ustavili, da nam je trener Hedge pridigal s svojim megafonom, zaradi česar je izmenično zvenel kot Sith Lord ali pa je izdal naključne pripombe, kot je "Prašič pravi kurz." Vsakič, ko je začel govoriti kot Darth Vader, sem morala zadušiti smeh. Ko je mikrofon izdavil: "Luke, jaz sem tvoj oče." sem bruhnila v smeh. Trener me je jezno pogledal, vendar sem svoj smeh hitro prekrila s kašljem.


Leo je kar naprej vlekel matice, vijake in čistila za cevi iz žepov svoje jakne in jih sestavljal skupaj, kot da bi moral imeti roke ves čas zaposlene. "Leo, ali se ne moreš nehati premikati za tri sekunde?" sem ga vprašala. "Kot sem že rekel - oh, počakaj, pozabila si, naj te spomnim - sem super ADHD. In zlahka mi postane dolgčas." Nekaj ​​sem zamrmrala pod dihanjem, česar niti sama nisem razumela. Leo me je samo zmedeno pogledal. Nekatera dekleta so kar naprej gledala Piper in Dylana in se smejala. Mislil sem, da so ta dekleta priljubljena klika. Zbijali so šale o njeni družini, kot je "Hej, Piper, je bila tvoja mama v tem plemenu? Oh, tako je. Nikoli nisi poznal svoje mame." Stisnila sem zobe. Leo me je pogledal in zmajal z glavo. Od trenerjevega govorjenja sem se začela dolgočasiti. Ravno takrat se mi je v mislih pojavila nekakšna slika. Ne. Bilo je, kot da sem tam. Z vidika nekoga. Videla sem fanta, imel je črne lase in je nosil nekakšno oranžno majico, na kateri je nekaj pisalo. Nisem morala videti, kaj, videal pa sem neke vrste konja s krili. Pegasus. *i*Kako sem to vedela?*i* Stal je v vodi s trizobom? Lebdel je nad njegovo glavo. Edina stvar, ki mi je prišla na misel, je. "Kaj je Pozejdonov simbol?" sem vprašala na glas, ne da bi o tem razmišljala. Leo me je čudno pogledal. "Kaj?" je vprašal. "Kaj je Pozejdonov simbol?" sem ponovila vprašanje. "Uh- trizob?" je rekel zmeden. "Zakaj?" je vprašal. Nisem mu odgovorila.


Prišli smo do skrajnega konca razstavne dvorane, kjer so velika steklena vrata vodila na teraso. "Prav, kolački," je sporočil trener Hedge. "Videli boste Veliki kanjon. Poskusite ga ne zlomiti. Skywalk lahko zadrži težo sedemdesetih jumo jetov, zato bi morali biti vi peresnotežki varni tam zunaj. Če je le mogoče, se poskušajte izogniti temu, da drug drugega potiskate čez rob, saj to bi mi povzročilo dodatno papirologijo." Trener je odprl vrata in vsi so stopili ven. Veliki kanjon se je razprostiral pred njimi, v živo in osebno. Čez rob se je raztezala steklasta pot v obliki podkve, tako da si lahko videl naravnost skozenj. Nad glavami je zagrmelo. Hladen veter je Jasona skoraj prevrnil na bok. "To ne more biti varno." Leo je mežikal v oblake. "Nevihta je ravno nad nami, toda naokoli je jasno. Čudno, kaj?" Pogledala sem navzgor in Leo je imel prav. Temen krog oblakov se je parkiral nad nebo, toda ostalo nebo v vseh smereh je bilo popolnoma jasno. Glede tega sem imela slab občutek.

"Morda bomo morali to skrajšati, zato se lotite dela! Ne pozabite, cele povedi!" je zavpil trener Hedge. "Vzemi delovni list." Jason je Leu izročil papir. "Takoj pridem." Odločila sem se, da mu sledim. "Si to naredil ti?" ga je vprašal trener. Jason je stopil korak nazaj. "Naredil kaj?" Trener Hedge ga je jezno pogledal, njegove majhne perlaste oči so se lesketale pod robom njegove kape. "Ne igraj se z mano, fant. Kaj delaš tukaj in zakaj mi kvariš službo?" "Misliš.. me ne poznaš? Nisem eden tvojih učencev?" je rekel Jason. Hedge je smrknil.

"Nikoli te nisem videl do danes." "In jaz?" sem spregovorila. Preučeval me je. "Ne. Kdo sta vidva?" sem skomignil z rameni. "Poglejte, gospod, ne vem, kako sem prišel sem. Pravkar sem se zbudil na šolskem avtobusu." Jason je prikimal v znak strinjanja.
"Prav razumem," je Hedgejev osorni glas zamrmral, kot da bi delil skrivnost. »Imaš močan način z meglo, fant, če lahko prepričaš vse te ljudi, da mislijo, da te poznajo; vendar me ne moreš pretentati. Že nekaj dni voham pošast. Vedel sem, da imamo infiltratorja, ampak ti ne dišiš kot pošast ampak kot polbog. In od kod si prišel? Jason se je odločil iskreno odgovoriti. "Ne vem, kdo sem. Tudi ona ne. Nimam nobenih spominov. Obema nama moraš pomagati." Trener Hedge je preučeval njegov obraz, kot bi poskušal brati Jasonove misli.
"Super," je zamrmrala Hedge. "Ti si iskren." "Seveda sem! In kaj je bilo tisto o pošastih in polbogovi? So to kodne besede ali kaj?" Dvignil sem obrv. Hotelo jesproži spomin.*i*Polbogovi*i*... Trener je zožil oči "Poglej, fant" Hedge je rekel: "Ne vem, kdo si, vem samo, kaj si, in to pomeni težave. Zdaj moram zaščititi štiri od vas, ali ste to poseben paket? Namrščil sem se. Zdaj sem začel misliti, da je nor ... "O čem govoriš?" Hedge je pogledal nevihto. Oblaki so postajali vse gostejši in temnejši ter lebdeli tik nad nebohodom. »Danes zjutraj,« je rekel Hedge, »dobil sem sporočilo iz taborišča. Rekli so, da je ekipa za ekstrakcijo na poti. Prišli so po poseben paket, vendar mi niso želeli razkriti podrobnosti. V redu. Dva sta precej močna, vem, da ju zalezujejo v skupini pop od nikoder, si torej ti poseben paket?"



Hope you enjoyed!
