Callie's POV

"Are you sure this is what happened?" Chiron asked as he gazed out the window.

"Yes! We must go on this quest now! The longer we want the more likely some of us will get killed!" I yelled. Chiron turned and gazed at me.

"There is one more needed for this quest. Once the last spot is filled you may go" he stated as he crossed his arms. I nodded and hurried out of the Big House, my cheeks burning with anger. I stormed into the Apollo cabin and quickly shoved my clothes into my backpack. I grabbed my bow and quiver and rushed out of the cabin. Fury pulsed in my steps as I went to the courtyard and sat down next to Skylar and Connor.

"What's your deal?" Connor asked as she slid Skylar out from his lap.

"Chiron just doesn't understand how serious this quest is" I replied while crossing my arms.

"He knows, but if he could, he would be sending Percy and Annabeth since they are so experienced. Just be patient, he knows what he's doing" Skylar said, trying to calm me down; it was so surprising she is a daughter of Ares. Before I could reply, Jason walked up, looking as smug as ever. I glared at him as Skylar drew her dagger from the thigh strap she keeps it in.

"What the fuck do you want?" I questioned as he stopped in front of me.

"I just came to say I'm sorry about last night. It's my fault the fleece was taken and I want to make it up to you" he said in a tone of voice that used to make me swoon.

"Oh really? And what did you have in mind?" I replied as I glared at him.

"I'll join you on the quest, and fix the problem I have caused" he said sternly. In a split second Skylar was up on her feet and had her dagger pressed up against Jason's neck.

"I would rather be thrown into Tartarus then go on a quest with the guy who took away the safety of my home" she snarled, her eyes blazing with anger.

"Besides, we already have the sun of Hermes chose" I sneered. Skylar dropped her dagger from Jason's neck, but kept a firm grip on the handle.

"Fine…" he muttered before turning and walking into his cabin.

"I'll get on that quest if it's the last thing I do" Jason muttered under his breath.

Jason's POV

I walked back to my cabin a tad pissed off. Callie was being completely immature about this situation. I was going to be the nice guy and fix the problem that I had caused, but nooo. I walked over to my buck and kneeled. I pulled out my trunk and dove into my hidden treasures. After a few minutes of rummaging through canisters of itching powder and stink bombs I found my prize; two vials of centaur's blood. I quickly glanced around the cabin, making sure I was completely alone. With a smirk I walked over to Travis's drawer of clothes and poured the vial all over the clothes he had laid out for later today. I placed the empty vial in my back pocket and did the same to Connor's stuff. After my nasty deed was finished I stored the evidence back in the trunk and pushed it back under my bed.

"I guess those two can't go on the quest…I'll fill in for them" I murmured as I walked out of the cabin

~3 Hours Later~

Mikayla's POV

"After I shower I'll come back to your cabin and then we can go to dinner" Travis said before kissing my forehead.

"Alright. Oh! Give Connor a rat tail for me" I replied with a smile.

"Hmm I have trained you well young padowan" Travis joked. I laughed and kissed his cheek.

"Thank you master. Now get moving" I replied before pushing him out of my cabin and shut the door. I could hear him yell in protest and leave. I sighed and laid down on my bed, burying my head in my pillow. I reached out to my bedside table and grabbed my Ipod Touch. I put in the headphones and began listening to a playlist of Skillet, Seether, and Evanescence. After about the third song I dozed off.

After what felt like a minute, I awoke to the sound of banging on my door. I groggily rolled out of bed and walked over to the door. I moved the door slightly open and saw Skylar standing outside with a worried look on her face.

"What?" I snapped; I'm not the perkiest when waken up from my nap too early.

"It's Connor and Travis…something has happened to them" she replied sounding as worried as she looked. I quickly widened the door and walked out. She led me into the infirmary where the Apollo kids were rushing around, trying to help the two kids lying on the cots. I walked over to the bed on the left and say Travis lying there, hives covering all of his chest and legs.

"Oh Gods…what happened?" I asked worriedly.

"Someone put centaur's blood in both of their clothes. Luckily they'll survive but will stay here until the hives clear up" Will Solace stated as he walked up to Connor's bed and stated putting cream on the hives. I glanced back at Skylar who was holding Connor's hand.

"How long until they will be better? Because they were going to on the quest for the fleece" I asked as I looked back at Will.

"Not sure, but they won't be going on the quest. You'll have to choose another son of Hermes" Will stated in a serious tone. Just seconds after Will said that, Jason walked in and over to us.

"Ouch…I guess they can't go on the quest. I'll gladly take their place" he said with a smirk on his face. Skylar just about lost it.

"IT WAS YOU THAT PUT THE CENTAURS BLOOK IN THEIR CLOTHES!" she screamed as she tried to advance on him. I lunged and grabbed Skylar before she almost maimed Jason.

"To my own brothers? I would never! How dare you think that?" he said in a hurt tone of voice. Skylar tried to get out of my arms but I had her in a tight hold.

"You're the one that got rejected from the quest! You're the only one with a motive" she shrieked as she continued to try and break free.

"Oh please, I'm not that desperate" he yelled back.

"Just stop it! We are wasting time with this bickering! Jason you are going on the quest and we are leaving at dawn!" I yelled over the two. Callie looked at me like I was crazy, Skylar looked like she was going to stab me over and over again, and Jason looked pleased with himself.

"Mikayla! Have you gone insane?" Callie questioned.

"Seriously! He poisoned Travis and Connor! How can we trust him?" Skylar asked looking up at me.

"We don't know that for sure. Now I'm going to let go and you aren't going to murder Jason" I stated coldly. I let go of Skylar and watched her carefully. She scowled at both me and Jason but kept at my side. "Now that we are going to play NICE for this quest, we are leaving at dawn. Be packed and ready on the porch"

"Fine…but so much as touch me and you'll lose your fingers" Skylar stated glaring at Jason before leaving. Jason rolled his eyes and walked out. I sighed and pulled up a chair next to Travis and grabbed his hand.

"Am I doing the right thing?" I asked as I looked up at Callie.

"Putting two people that are ready to kill each other on a quest that will go on for the Gods know how long? Great idea!" she replied sarcastically.

"We can't wait any longer. Skylar and I are in much more danger without the fleece protecting us"

"I know, but I can't tell you if it's the right thing. But the Fates think so, so it will happen" Callie replied sounding exactly like Chiron.

"I guess…but I'm afraid that it will end up destroying us…"

"Have faith. Just pray to your mom and Hermes and maybe they'll help us on our quest" she replied warmly.

"Thanks Callie" I said with a smile.

"No problem. I'll see you in the morning, I need to go see someone" she replied before walking out of the infirmary, leaving me alone with Travis and Connor.
