* CRASH *
" What just happened?" Percy asked as thick smoke started to clear out.
" PERCY! ANNABETH! You guys are okay!" Piper screeched.
" I'm confused how come they didn't fall into the Tartarus?" Frank asked.
" Wait first of all is everyone okay?" Hazel asked. All except one answered, " Leo?"
still no answer. Hazel looked down and saw a fortune cookie with the paper sticking out of it. She crouched down and read it the gasped, " Oh my gods."
" What?" Jason asked.
"Fate can be changed with the saying of these words. Once said they will never work again. If you wish to save a life, you must pay a price. Equivalent Exchange is not needed but the sacrifice must be of flesh and blood. the sacrifice must recite the words, 'Life will be given to not be taken. Fate will be exchanged for the greater good. I am not worthy. I shall be the pawn sacrificed to save the other players.' You guys know what this means don't you?"
" Leo sacrificed himself so that he would fall into the tartarus in place of Percy and I." Annabeth said.
" But why?" Percy asked, " Not to sound harsh but he truly doesn't stand a chance. I mean even the strongest demi-god wouldn't last long with that many monsters. Not to mention the fact that, HE IS IN THE TARARUS!"
" That is why we have to hurry." Nico said, " If we get to the doors of death in time we should save him."
" I- we should get back to the ship before we continue this discussion." Annabeth suggested.
" I should have done something." Jason said guiltily.
" Don't you start with that. The only person who couldve done anything was Leo... And he did." Pipe's voice lacked charm speak, she truly believed it.
" I still don't understand I mean how long have we known him and he just offers himself up in me and Annabeths place. I mean " Percy commented.
" Well you'll just have to ask him... He is still alive right?" Piper asked.
" Yes. Leo is still alive." Nico said.
" How can you be sure? Can you even sense him down there?" Jason asked.
" He's alive. I'm sure of it." Hazel stated.
" I'm going up." Piper sounded on the verge of tears.
" Pi-" Jason started.
" And no one better come after me." When she left Annabeth and Hazel stood up.
" Where are you two going?" Percy asked.
" To be with Piper... Seaweed Brain." Annabeth told him.
" But-"
" We are going. You four, discuss just exactly what we are going to do about all of this."
" I think we should tell your camp."
" What? No. They just lost Brekendof can you imagine..." Percy trailed off.
" Frank's right Percy. They deserve to know." Annabeth sided against her boyfriend.
" Yes but if... * clears throat* when he survives it'll have been pointless to make them worry so much." Percy countered.
" Let's take a vote , then. Who votes we do call them?" Hazel asked, " 6-1 Percy."
" I guess. If you guys think its best."
" Today is Friday so, just around this time the head consolers should be having a meeting. I have a drachma," Annabeth digs in her pocket, " Right.. here. Oh Fleecy, do me a solid. Show me Chiron at Camp Half-Blood."
