NEW CHAPTER SORRY BUT IT WAS MY BROTHERS BIRTHDAY!
Thalia POV
"Alright kiddies! Leo, steer the ship! Piper, make sure all the rooms are still okay. Annabeth, be smart and find where Hebe could be! Percy and lil bro, calm the seas and the sky. I don't want us crashing. Frank, keep Hazel preoccupied so she doesn't get killed. Nico, go do cool dead stuff!" I ordered and pointed around the ship, getting a few mock salute and stuck out tongues.
"And what was are you going to do, your royal pine-ness?" Percy said sarcastically as he focussed on the waves.
"Stand here and look important!" I stated boldly, placing my hands on my hips. I whipped my head around though, when I heard a loud crash.
"I'm okay!" Leo yelled, getting up from the ground. Apparently the guy had tried to reach the top of the wheel, he did by jumping up and grabbed firmly onto the top handles, but it swung down and dropped him down with it. Leo resorted to standing on top of some flying table named Buford. I need to get my brother better friends.
"Hey! Stop that!" Percy yelled, and I turned to see Jason trying to shock him with out him noticing. Jason whistled innocently, and Percy glared at him, before a miniature wave came over the side and hit Jason. Percy smiled.
"You did that on purpose!" Jason yelled as he tried to rub the saltwater out of his eyes.
"Did not." Percy replied as he stuck out his tongue to Jason.
"Did to!"
"Maybe I did, but you shocked me!"
"No I didn't!"
"Yes you did!"
"Liar!"
"No, you're the liar!" Percy growled, and I widened my eyes and rushed towards them.
"Both of you, stop it." I said firmly as I stepped between them. Bad idea. Very bad idea. Another tiny wave came over the side and hit me as soon as a rod of lightning strikes down on deck. If I'm correct, Annabeth told me that water conducts electricity. Especially when that electricity hits you head on.
"Thalia!" Both boys screamed, and tried to help me get up from where I had fallen on the deck. Instead, I got up by myself, and gave them a death glare that would make a hydra quiver in fear.
"Both of you. Separate corners. Right now." I snarled, and Percy and Jason looked taken aback.
"What?" Jason questioned, scowling in confusion.
"You heard me, both of you are in Time-Out for causing a scene." I pointed to separate corners of the deck, and pushed them to start marching to them.
"So not fair." Percy mumbled as he plopped down, looking completely pissed.
"Life's not fair, especially when I'm in charge!" I yelled, and waved to Annabeth as she approached me with a map and questioning eyes.
"I think I have a lead." Annabeth murmured as she spread the map on the ground and motioned me down to look at it. I laid down on the floor with her, and she positioned her finger where I guessed we were.
"That's us." She took a pen from behind her ear and marked the map with a blue dot.
"Now, considering Hebe is the goddess of youth, she likes things that young children like. Carnivals, circuses, playgrounds, stuff like that, as long as its colorful. But youth can also range to teens, so also loud concerts, theme parks, paint ball ranges, all that. But also youth can be seen in the elderly, so that means she'd want somewhere older people would like. Go in order, and we have to find somewhere with a lot of colors, loud music, and isn't in America." She put her own back behind her ear.
"Why not in America?" I asked, confused.
"Do older people ever stay in the country after first retiring?" She said blankly.
"Oh. Yeah, they always go somewhere in like Canada or Europe." It dawned on me all of a sudden.
"I know where we need to go!" I yelled, excited and giddy.
"Where?!" Annabeth's eyes were wide.
"Circus Krone! My hunters and I were there once, it fit all of those and more! Quick, get someone to look up where it is in Europe right now! Go go go!" Annabeth scurried up and yelled at Leo to set course for the nearest European showing of Circus Krone. He spun the wheel and we were off. Things are finally looking up! Wait, where did Nico go?
"Woah!" Annabeth shouted and ducked, but I didn't react fast enough. Nico came speedy towards me, and foot connected with head.
"What are you guys trying to do, give me a concussion?" I yelled rubbing my head. Nico decided "cool dead stuff", was taking a piece of leather, swinging it over a rope connecting to the deck, and sliding down from the crows-nest to deck. He also didnt bother to warn us.
"Hey, head injuries are my job!" Jason yelled from where he still sat in the corner.
Piper popped up from below deck. "I heard the words 'head injury'. Did Jason get hit by a brick again?"
"What do you mean another brick? I really thought him and the first one really had a connection. A connection like head-connects-to-brick." Leo projected loudly from the steering wheel as he searched a holographic map of Europe for Circus Krone.
"Bricks?" Frank and Hazel perked out from the corner, where Frank had just taught Hazel one of those clapping games.
Someone groaned, that someone being Percy, who sat slumped against the deck. "Can't a guy-turned-9-year-old get some sleep while in Time-Out?"
"That was fun!" Nico yelled as he sat where he landed on the deck. "I wanna go again."
"Can I try?" Hazel asked.
"Why did I never think of that, I built the ship!" Leo whined as he swiped across the hologram, zooming in on France.
"Guys, I think Thalia's mad." Frank murmured.
"Shush, Frank. I wanna try!" Jason said boldly and stood up.
"No way Jason, you're still in the corner!" Piper scolded him, not knowing why he was there but knowing he should probably stay put.
"Seriously guys her face is really red." Frank scooted below deck with Hazel on his back, after she asked if they could leave before I exploded.
"Gods Frank, conversation here." Jason sounded annoyed.
"ONCE AGAIN, TRYING TO SLEEP!" Percy moaned as he laid on his back.
"I'm bored again." Nico leaned over the side of the ship to peek at the ocean. "Cool! Flying fish!"
"Circus Krone searching, Leo!" Annabeth ordered. Everyones voices bubbled together in a mixture of helpful suggestions and whininess. It finally got to a point that I couldn't stand it anymore.
"EVERYONE SHUT UP!" I finally screamed, aggravated with everyone. "BED. NOW. OR I SWEAR TO MY FATHER MY SHEILD WONT JUST HAVE MEDUSAS FACE ON IT!" I gestured to my bracelet and then forcefully down the stairs.
"But it's only 8!" Piper said, sounding confused.
"I don't care. Sleep. Now."
"B-but!-"
"Shield. Your face."
"Yes, ma'am."
"Good. I'm sleeping out , please just grab me two blankets and maybe a pillow." I rubbed my temples, fighting off a head-ache. Gods, how does Chiron deal with new campers every day? I've barely lasted 3 hours with them.
"Should I get some for Percy too?" Annabeth asked, looking at her boyfriend as he still slept on the deck.
"I think he's good."
Three hours and a lot of paper airplanes over the side of the ship later, I heard a series of bangs downstairs. I cautiously stepped below deck, the bangs and thumps getting louder.
I knock on Piper's door and wait until she opens up."You okay in there?"
"Yeah, I'm fine, why?" Piper rubbed her ever-changing eyes sleepily.
"I thought I heard something coming from near your room." I look up and down the hallway, seeing the door next to hers. Jasons.
"Jason, are you okay?" I knock urgently on the door, no one answering.
"Whats going on?" Leo peeked out of his door, yawning. Nico followed closely behind from his room, then Hazel, Frank, Percy, and Annabeth. Everyone else but Jason was in the hall, eying the door suspiciously.
I finally lose my patience when I hear a particularly loud thump. "Jason, I'm coming in there!" I twist the handle and kick the door.
"Hi guys!" Jason waves cheerfully, then lunges after something in the air. His footstep radiates through out the whole ship as he stomps down Electricity sparks off in him, reaching after whatever he's chasing.
"What are you doing?! Its keeping us all awake!" I said angrily, and Jason slaps something between his hands.
"There was a fly." He shrugs.
"But why didn't you just sleep?" I asked.
"Once again, there was a fly."
