M6 Sparta

 Again, I found myself with my emerald green Mustang GT whirring. Only this time I was not alone. Lewis, my dog was sitting in the shot gun seat. Some how, leather calms him down. He was wearing this ah-dorable Burberry jacket. As I heard a final clang from the engine, I knew were there! I stepped out of my car, and pressed the invisibility button on the hood. Now only I could see my car. Lewis yipped. I changed into a toga quickly.

 Then I had a felling in my gut. There was a war going on and I had to be a part of it. I know I said that I didn't have any weapons on me, yeah-no. I was fully equipped with bullet proof undergarments, Titanium dagger, Umarex Pistol of Co2 Baby Desert Eagle Silver, Nail darts, Lipstick gun, and my favorite extending sword (I would have died by the age of 20 if it weren't for that sword). I looked at my surroundings. Nothing but brown rocks (sharp, mind you) and dying vegetation.

 In the distance, I saw many columns of smoke. I walked up a hill and saw to my amazement, the sparkling blue Mediterranean Sea. I put Lewis is his kennel and locked the car. I put the keys in my pocket (yes my toga has pockets. Cool huh?!).
 
 I saw a dock up about ten miles. I slowly began the step trek.

When I finally arrive a gruff sailor stepped in front of me. His ripped clothes and misshapen face would have been terrifying, if he wasn't five two."Whatah you larking at?" his gruff voice sputtered. He was drunk." you need five goud coins ter ge'h cross ter Sparta."

 "Here you go." I said smoothly, and handed him the coins. He signaled towards the nearest boat which happened to be leaving. He laughed at me. I would have beat him up, put I had a boat to catch. At the last possible second I had grabbed a rope trailing from the ship. I climbed up. It was the craziest thing. There was only a small boy two crew mates and an old man.

 "what happened here?" I said as they jumped at the surprising sound of my voice.

 "Sirens." The old man answered simply."we will arrive at Sparta in two hours. Until then you must work. Put some wax in your ears just in case we run into them again." He stuffed wax in my delicately pierced ears.I hated him being the superior. The next two hours I spent working gruesomely. When we docked I had a brown toga, blistered hands and major calluses on my bare feet. But we were there. Sparta was beautiful. Within fifteen minutes I had been suited up in shiny armor. The rocky sand was rough on my feet.

 I walked up to brown, domed building. Two guards stepped in front of me, but I easily pushed them aside. Leonidas strutted out of the building."Ahh, new recruits." He stated,"We will need you later. Go to the armory. Wait two nights and come back."
 
 I knew for a fact that if I traveled back to modern day then I would come back to the exact second I left. I walked away from Leonidas and out of the City-State and away from everything.about five miles away from town I pulled my car keys out of mt pocket and pressed the "call" button. I blinked. When I opened my eyes my car was infront of me. I gave Lewis some water(Figi falls purified) and cranked up the speed.
