Hi! Sorry for the short chapter, it was hard to think of things to happen. Chapter 3 will be much longer, and will(hopefully) be uploaded by Thursday afternoon!
Annabeth took a shaky breath. Leo was looking shocked, as though he had been frozen and reheated (impossible with his fire powers, but, still).
"What happened?" Her voice was the only sound in the room - even Piper's crying had stopped.
Leo glanced at Piper, who was just sitting on the floor, her body pale, her eyes with no sparkle in them. She nodded. Taking a deep breath, Leo turned to Annabeth. "We were discussing how to deal with the Romans. Like, how to say that we have to co-operate to defeat Gaia. But, you know how we thought that demigods and gods had to work together? Well, Hera showed up, out of nowhere. She said that we had to do something else, and said…" he paused and looked at Piper again. "Something about a glimpse?" Leo stopped, still looking at Piper, who continued.
"Jason, h-. He looked at her for, like, a second, then collapsed. We tried to help him, but she stopped us. She said that he knew what we must do before we go to Camp Jupiter, and that we have to find out what it is, and do it. But, she'll only give us three dream visions about it - what we have to do, where to go, how long. We thought she was crazy. Leo started to yell at her, and use fire, while I got my dagger," she pointed to Katopris strapped on her belt. "We knew it wouldn't work - she's a goddess! Anyways, she…" Piper's eyes teared up again.
Leo leant in towards her ear and whispered; "She said that if we don't do this task - that we have no clue what it is or what to do - correctly, or within seven days, or both, she's not giving him back." He leant back, a look of panic on his face, and it quickly covered Annabeth's too. She took Jason and Percy, took their memory to bribe them into doing a quest, and before they could save the world for her, she takes Jason again! This goddess knew too well how to get on Annabeth's nerves.
"Grab your bags, we're not going to land in time. We're going to have to jump for it!" Miranda Gardiner popped her head in the doorway for a split second to blurt out the message, then zoomed off down the hallway. Outside, Annabeth could already hear campers making their way to the top deck. But, inside the control room, there was…silence. The three demigods were too stunned to do anything else.
Finally, Leo couldn't stand it any more. "Guys, I hate to just carry on, after - after that, but we need to head to the top deck," he said quietly.
Piper sniffed. "I know, I know. Its just…well…-" she started sobbing again, but she did as she was told.
"Leo," Annabeth pulled him aside. "Its gunna' take some time for Piper to get over…what happened. So don't take it personally, okay?" Leo stared at her, as though she had given him an idea. "What?" she demanded.
" I know how we can land safely! We just need to…" Leo told Annabeth his plan. Now she stared at him like he was crazy. "Just go with it, dude!"
Finally Annabeth nodded. "On one condition. I go, not you." He started to argue, but she raised her hand, in a stop way. "We know that you're a child of the prophecy. We don't know about me. For all we know, I could not be part of it at all." She started to imitate Leo. "'Just go with it, dude!' "
"That, is so not how I talk! But, fine!" he sprinted off after Piper.
Oh…My…Gods…What did I just do! Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena, had just said that she would do something that was sure to get her killed. But, she had told Leo she would do it, so, she set about finding a way to detach Festus' head from the Argo II. She tore down the halls of the ship, and she only had a feeling at the time, but it would be the last time was ever she would be on the Argo II not hurt.
Tell me what you think by reviewing - I've only had 1 so far! :(
And if you don't review, it means that not many people like it, so I will delete it!
Addvertising!; I'm going to be writing plenty other stories, starting with one called the girl who never cries with
Nico di Angelo! But he's in it at chapter 6, and I'm only writing it at the moment, and I'm on chapter 3!
But he will be in it!
