Chapter 2

Percy's POV

I saw the Argo II land with a great big thump. The ramp opened up revealing a Latino elf looking boy. Following him was a blonde headed boy carrying a girl, who was covered in blood, with short, choppy braids.

"Jason?" Reyna, daughter of Bellona and praetor of Camp Jupiter, said.

"Yes Reyna it is me, Jason-" but before he could finish the crowd erupted in cheers, "-this girl needs help." he finished.

"Then we shall help her. Someone lead Jason and his dying friend to the infirmary where I expect to find this girl alive when I get a chance to come visit her." Reyna ordered.

"Thank you. Leo, take over." Jason gestured to the Latino elf, Leo, to tell them something important.

"Got it! I'm looking for a Cyclops named Tyson and a guy named Percy." Leo said. Tyson ran forward to greet Leo. I then stepped forward.

"Hi, my name is Percy Jackson." I said.

"Great, and now that that is done, I'd like to tell you-" Leo was cut off by a certain satyr.

"Percy! Percy! Hurry, Annabeth and Thalia are fighting a monster and are going to need some help!" he yelled while pulling Rachel E. Dare down the ramp with him.

"What? Frank, Hazel, come with me!" I said. We ran up the ramp and a loud shrilling scream came through the corridor. We ran towards it. The first thing I saw was Thalia covering her ears and yelling at the pool. The screaming stopped and Thalia then started fighting again.

"Frank, Hazel, let's help Thalia here." immediately they ran into battle.

"Percy, Annabeth fell into the water! She hasn't come up for a while now!" Thalia yelled. I jumped into action and jumped into the water. There I saw an unconscious Annabeth drifting in the water. I quickly grabbed her and surged us out of the water. By the time I did this, Thalia, Frank, and Hazel had already killed the monster. I laid Annabeth on the floor and dried us both. She was still breathing so I picked her back up. Thalia led us as we ran out of the ship to get Annabeth help. Reyna must have noticed this because she told someone to go clear another bed in the infirmary.

"Take her straight there. If the rest of you Greeks, Frank, Hazel, and Octavian would follow me, we will accompany Percy and meet up with Jason. Everyone else return to your duties." she ordered and then we were off. I was ahead of the group with Annabeth in my arms. The demigods motioned for me to place her on the bed next to the bloody girl, who was no longer bloody, I had seen earlier. The girl was conscious and talking to the Jason kid.

"Is that Annabeth?" she asked. Jason shushed her and told her to calm down.

"Yes, its Annabeth." my voice cracked as I told the girl. I gently placed Annabeth on the bed and stepped back, allowing one of the other demigods to take care of her. I knew I should have just given her the nectar and ambrosia myself like she had many times for me. Suddenly Rachel and Thalia were by my side and Grover was next to Rachel.

"I'm just going to make a wild guess. You're Percy Jackson." the girl told me.

"Yeah, I'm Percy." I responded. She jumped out of her bed and ran towards me.

"Well it is so nice to finally meet you! I'm Piper, daughter of Aphrodite." she happily announced.

"Oh, well, nice to meet you too." I added.

"Since we are introducing ourselves, I'm Leo Valdez and I'm the son of Hephaestus." the Latino elf boy announced.

"I'm Jason Grace, son of Jupiter," the blonde boy said, "and Piper, I think you should take an easy and lie down."

"Fine." she sounded tired and didn't seem to want to argue.

"I'm Thalia Grace, daughter of Zeus and Huntress of Artemis. But I am better known as Jason's older sister." Thalia said.

"I'm Rachel E. Dare and I'm mortal." Rachel said. All the Romans, minus Jason, looked as if they had just been slapped in the face.

"But... how?" Octavian stuttered.

"I'm the oracle." she explained.

"I'm Grover, I'm a satyr and the new Lord of the Wild!" Grover announced.

"Okay, well how about you guys introduce yourselves as well." I said to my Roman friends.

"I'm Reyna, daughter of Bellona and praetor of the Twelfth Legion." Reyna said.

"Frank Zhang, son of Mars." Frank stated.

"Hazel Levesque, daughter of Pluto." Hazel added.

"And I am Octavian, son of Apollo and agar!" Octavian said trying to sound better than everyone else. "Who is the half-dead demigod laying on the bed?"

"That is Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena and my girlfriend." I said as to make that a very important point.

"Well, due to these, um, injuries, we will hold a meeting tomorrow morning and I expect you all to be there. Minus Annabeth unless she is cleared. I will send someone for you, so for now, dismissed.
