Running into a "friend." (BOB)

((Google translate? LOL))

"And how," Zahra began, her head continuing to throb painfully, "did we get to Norway, exactly?" she asked him, her jaw clenching. She closed her eyes for a few seconds, anger and fear intensifying the pain and tangle of action in her mind. She wanted to ask if he was kidding, but somehow she knew he wasn't. Someone spoke with a harsh feminine tone, and she wished she knew how to speak Norwegian. Who was it, anyway? She turned her head atop her arm, forcing her eyes open, to see a woman who vaguely resembled Anundar. His mother? He confirmed her thoughts as she left, and Zahra fought the urge to yell at her for help.

"Anundar. No." Zahra used all of her strength to push herself up against the mattress so that she wasn't lying down any longer. She sat up, though she leaned against the wall and her head felt as if it were about to explode. "You're going to take me back home, now. I'm not going with you to this Jotunheim place." She tried to control her anger, because she was scared that he'd hurt her again, but her voice had an edge to it. She'd known Anundar was crazy, but so psychotic that he'd kidnap someone and force them into what sounded like a hellhole?

(Ahahah the juice is actually poisoned.... nah I kid, I kid it's actually just normal juice, Anundar's mother isn't sadistic enough to poison someone.)

Zahra was quiet almost too quiet. It was almost like she was in super-deep thought. Perhaps she was plotting to kill Anundar in his sleep though that didn't seem to fit her personality.

She was so quiet again, until she finally spoke asking for Tylenol. Hm wasn't that the medicine or something like that to head ones head, who knows though Anundar's mother probably had some somewhere in a cabinet.

"Mamma, jeg trenger tylenol for jente!" Anundar shouted. He was quite sure his mother heard him for he heard her opening some cabinets out in the kitchen.

Anundar peered over at Zahra again she did not look happy. Okay so maybe it was a bit rash to kidnap her like that, but he didn't mean any harm out of it, though Zahra may not think so. Though she was drinking something finally which was good.

"Look Zahra, I will say I'm sorry for incapacitating you then dragging you through a heavenly portal back to my house in Norway, so we can go to Jotunheim and fight giant monsters, because I'm a good guy you know," Anundar said chuckling.

"And as I said I don't plan on trapping or killing you or I would be an oathbreaker which is a fate worse than death, for reasons that oathbreakers when they die go to Hel's world of Niflheim, which is basically like the Fields of Punishment for Greeks," Anundar said relaxing in his chair.

"As well I'm feeling much better since my last trip to Jotunheim, so I should be in tip-top fighting shape so there's no worry there, as well I have this," Anundar said brandishing his new hammer. What a wonderful gift from his father.

Anundar's mom came back in with the pills the girl wanted and laid them on the night stand next to her before leaving the room.

"So now it's your turn to speak," Anundar said handing over the floor to Zahra.

((LOL I figured. What was Anundar's mom telling him before, that she whispered?))

Zahra resisted the urge to slap Anundar. Oh, I'm so sorry for incapacitating you and kidnapping you against your will! I'm a good guy! Seriously? She forced herself to calm down, though, and she murmured a thanks that his mother probably couldn't understand when she left the Tylenol. She popped them in her mouth, drowning them in apple juice before swallowing.

"It's fine, Anundar," Zahra forced herself to say, even though it was not okay. She could kind of see that Anundar was just looking for a friend, and that he was lonely, and that he didn't really mean to do half of the things he did... but that didn't make her feel much better. He still had psychotic tendencies, and she really wished she'd never associated with him in the first place. She forced a very weak smile at him before averting her eyes and finally taking her bite of the sandwich, for which her stomach was grateful. She looked at the hammer uneasily before taking another bite of the grilled cheese and swallowing.

"I trust that you remember how to make it out of Jotunheim?"

It pained her to ask that question, but gods that boy could be so thick. She almost didn't want to know the answer.

"I'm not Greek, by the way, as you seem to keep referring to me. My dad is Egyptian."

(No idea just thought it would be dramatic)
At least Zahra was being a bit more calm now, and was eating. It was probably just the amazing charm that Anundar holds that was hitting her by now probably. Yup that had to be it because who couldn't resist the manliness of Anundar, his abs were like steel, and his his beard was fully grown.

Though now she was questioning his sense of memory. Of course he knew his way in and out of Jotunheim, he would just have to go into his little brain to remember the path.

"Of course I remember the way into and out of Jotunheim, it's really quite simple once you learn all the trails," Anundar said with a chuckle. Though his eyes narrowed again as it seemed she was getting a smart mouth.

"Yes I know you aren't Greek, nor did I call you one, I just referred to the Greek afterlife because I have no idea what the Egyptian one is," Anundar said with a grumble.

"Okay so while where here I can get you any weapon if you need it so just ask up if you do," Anundar said scratching his beard.

Meanwhile back at Camp Half-Blood

Little to the knowledge of Zahra or Anundar there was a third set of eyes watching them. It was the Demi-titan Chris. He had originally come down to the range for target practice, but he stopped and was sort of stalking the conversation up to the moment where Anundar kidnapped Zahra.

"My Gods," He said to himself as he witnessed the brute bring the girl through the portal, "That was so unlawful I must do something about it."

He remembered they were talking about Jotunheim which was in Norway. Chris was too law-abiding to just sit by, so he decided he would fly to Norway to save the girl, unfortunately unlike most Demi-titans he couldn't teleport so he started his long journey on foot.

((Of course, Bob's attempt at drama that has no true significance. LOL. I love how Anundar thinks she's charmed by him, too. It's hilarious. Is Chris sane, or is he crazy too?))

Zahra nodded, popping the last bit of one half of the grilled cheese sandwich into her mouth and taking a swig of juice. She noticed Anundar's eyes narrow when she spoke of being Egyptian, and she decided that maybe she should be a bit more careful, though she kind of doubted Anundar would pummel her for being a little bit of a smartass.

"I figured you knew I was Egyptian, but I was just reminding you because you seem to be continually referring to me as a Greek. 'You Greeks at this camp don't train properly,' and such. Oh, and by the way, the Egyptian afterlife is pretty complicated. It involves judgment, similarly to that of the Greeks, but also involves the weighing of your heart. You should read about it, maybe," Zahra suggested, starting in on the other half of her sandwich, mostly to appease Anundar. She might as well be compliant with what he wanted, at least if it involved eating his mother's delicious cooking.

Zahra swallowed. "Anyway, I have a dagger, which I always carry with my around camp, but it'd be useful if I had an extra, or a few throwing knives or something. I get the feeling that one dagger won't get me very far n Jotunheim."

((Excuse my French. LOL I couldn't bring myself to censor "smartass," though.))

(No in fact he is almost obligated to follow all the rules and laws of the world)
Anundar chuckled slightly. Learn about the Egyptian afterlife ha yeah right, he barely wanted to learn about the Greek one.

"Maybe some other time," Anundar said Crossing his legs in order to get more comfortable.

Of course she would have only a dagger, Anundar thought shaking his head. Silly Egyptian carrying a dagger instead of the awesome sickle swords he had heard about. Oh well. Luckily for Zahra though Anundar had more weapons than he knew what to do with both mortal, and immortal though she would probably take the godly ones since they do more harm to monsters.

"Well lucky for you I have a stash of weapons," Anundar said getting up and going to the closet in-front of his bed. He then proceeded to open the closet door revealing a variety of weapons.

On the door hung bows and arrows the normal mortal one, as well as a few battle axes. Inside the closet their was literally just a big pile of assorted weapons made of both steel, copper, Celestial Bronze, ect. It was truly a collection of weapons. Though there were no modern weapons like guns in there. Using them would just be cowardly.

Anundar turned back to Zahra. "When your ready just choose a couple of weapons, and if you need armor I'll get you some from out shed outside," Anundar said turning back to the closet. Even though he had his hammer his still wanted some additional weapons so he took two boot knives, as well a celestial bronze short sword, and a steel war ax. One would wonder where he got his weapons well mostly from store owners, the internet, him making them, the celestial bronze ones he snuck back home when he stormed and left camp the first time.

((Oh right! I remember him!!))

Zahra gaped at the stash of weapons. She didn't even know how to use half of those weapons. She was all city-street girl, ready to ward off monsters with a butter knife, if that was all she had at her availability. She didn't have any desire to use a sickle or a whip or anything of the like, and she wasn't prepared to either. She forced herself to take another bite of grilled cheese, though her stomach was telling her that it was full. Zahra was a pretty sparse eater. She ate when she had to, but she never stuffed her face with food. It wasn't that she didn't want to eat, or that she thought she was going to get fat... it was just something she was accustomed to doing after being housed in various orphanages and living on the streets. She forced herself to finish the sandwich, though, because somehow she knew that it might be a while before she had a decent meal again.

She took a sip of apple juice before she got up, a little more steady than before. She stepped in front of the closet, examining the weapons it displayed. Most of them wouldn't be of use to her, but she grabbed a belt sheath that could hold a variety of throwing knives, as well as a boot knife sheath as Anundar had. She tended to go through daggers quickly, so she figured she might as well keep a bunch of them, since they weren't particularly heavy and they were convenient.

"I could use some armor, actually..." she mused. She couldn't believe she was actually going along with this ludicrous plan.

"When do you think we should leave? I could kind of use a few hours to rest, because my head is still aching from your blow... thanks for that, by the way," Zahra said, shooting him a glare. "If we have to go now, though, I guess it won't be a problem..."

The sooner they got back to camp, the sooner she could leave and be back with Jance and never see Anundar ever again.

Hmm armor time, and also when should they leave time. Anundar was in tip-top shape to head out though Zahra preponderantly needed some more rest, oh well though he might as well show her this armor collection first before letting her rest.

"Follow me," He said gesturing the girl to follow. He figured she was following him.

Anundar continued walking till he got to his front door, and thus exiting it. Outside it was snowing and the ground was already covered with the white stuff. He took a deep breath it was nice to be in his homeland again.

The cold didn't bother Anundar much, for he was used to such climate, though of Zahra he did not know. He continued walking around his house until he reached a medium-sized shed.

"Here we are," Anundar said opening the shed. Inside was a collection of armor, both leather and steel alike. He didn't have any celestial bronze armor though because it was too hard to get his hands on.

"Take your pick then head back in and rest, afterwards we'll head out," Anundar told Zahra as he entered the shed choosing his armor. He took an iron helmet, a leather curious and greeves, some leather gauntlets, and some leather boots.(looks something like this-http://browse.deviantart.com/?q=norse+armor#/d428u9o)

"This will do me well, as much as I love some heavy armor it only slows me down," Anundar said with a chuckle.

Meanwhile at JFK airport in New York City

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CAN'T MY WEAPON WITH ME ON THE PLANE!" Chris said to the security guard who was checking his luggage.

"It's flight regulations sorry, now go before we call the cops," One of the Security guards told Chris.

Chris then took his stuff, and grumbled all the way out of the airport. "This sucks I need to find a way to get all my stuff to Norway maybe I can UPS my weapons or something," He said with another grumble.

"Yup you don't want to know," Anundar said to himself in response to Zahra's first remark.

Anundar smiled when Zahra asked if they were going yet. "Well yeah we can go now, since you're awake now," Anundar said. Finally they would go to Jotunheim oh this would be fun, hopefully Zahra would see fun in this as well, because even though this is meant to be a training trip,it was still an adventure, and hopefully Zahra, would feel the sense of adventure.

"Let's head out then, feel free to borrow one of my mothers jackets and your pack of supplies is next to the coat rack," Anundar said heading out the door and grabbing his pack of supplies.

"The quickest way to Jotunheim is by bus getting us there in a minute or so, but walking will only take ten or so minutes from my house, lucky location for me to live before I knew I was a demi-god right," Anundar said with a chuckle, he walked past the corpse of the beetle he had killed earlier, he assumed his mother would dispose of it later.

It was still snowing outside, but it was very nice feeling. "When you get close to Jotunheim you can feel a strange feeling which is the magic that seeps from the place," Anundar said and it was true, As Anundar continued walking he felt himself get slightly weaker, though being a demi-god he was still more resilient to the magical lands affect.

Finally Anundar reached a point in front of a forest. He turned to Zahra. "Here we are this is were I entered last time, oh this is so exciting don't you agree Zahra?" Anundar asked with a chuckle.

"Either way though this will be a grand adventure," Anundar said still with a chuckle.

Meanwhile back in New York City

"Okay so I can ship my replica spear through the mail and then take the flight," Chris said on his cellphone, nodding as the person he was talking to responded.

"And how long will it take to ship?" Chris said nodding for another second, before stopping and his eyes widening.

"A WEEK!" Chris said shaking his head.

"You know what fine fine, a week shipping is fine bye," Chris said hanging up. This was going to be a long trip for him.
