Well, I was sitting in the fire when the campers found me. Quite honestly, I was pretty bored. I decided to play a prank on the campers, and so I laid down in the fire, acting like I was dying. Percy then splashed me with water, and they all pulled me out. I started convulsing when the new campers tried to pick me up, and then I opened my eyes, jumped out of their grasps, and started laughing my head off. "HAHH YOU IDIOTS!" (cue more laughing) "YOU SHOULD'VE SEEN YOUR FACES!" I shouted, before laughing. I hadn't laughed this hard in ages. I then suddenly stopped, sat down on the benches, regained my composure, and motioned for the grinning Chiron to start. Everyone stared at me. "Sit down." I commanded, and they all sat down. Annabeth grinned at me, and I allowed the faintest smile to show through. Chiron began talking about what was going to happen, before Rachel stood up. I picked at my fingernails, already knowing what was going to happen. The green glowing mist returned, and she spoke:
A person exists who was never found
Supposed to be dead but forever around
They will go to find what they have lost
But sacrifice much at a great cost
They can trust no one
But need it to fight
And in the end only one
Will take flight.
She promptly collapsed, and campers carried her off to the infirmary. "Well." I said, "Guess Apollo is free." Campers were silent for a moment, and then started yelling. Chiron let them talk for a moment before shouting, "Quiet down!" They all promptly shut up. Chiron spoke up. "Annabeth, Piper, Percy, Jason, Clarisse, Chris, Thalia, and Nico go with Charlie to the arena. The rest of you, stay here." Well, Guess my name is out. I am no longer the creepy mysterious crazy person they were afraid of. I was Charlie. I walked over to the arena, followed by the sev- I mean five. "Well. Since we are the members of the quest, and I will be stuck with you for the remainder of it, you should be able to know who I am." I pulled off my hood, and showed them my face. The guys were to only ones who were weirded out. "But you are a GIRL." Percy said, dumbfounded. I stared at him, and then Annabeth slapped him. "Okay, now that thats over….I know where Leo is." They all stared at me..1...2….3...They all started yelling. They were all freaking out that he was alive. I held up my hand for silence, and then said, "We need to go to Rome. Immediately, and get the rest of the members for the quest." Annabeth asked "How are we going to get there? Pegasus?" I grinned and said, "No. My Ship."
I love dramatic entrances, and this was no exception. My sleek, jet black warship came flying out of the sky, stopping and unfurling a black ramp, with small red led lights on the side. I walked aboard, laughing at the open mouthed demigods. "If you are surprised now, wait till you meet the crew!" I said laughing. They all ran up the ramp, catching up with me. I have been building this ship for 3 years, when I first came to Camp. I shadow traveled on Mrs. O'Leary, and got Stygian Iron from the forges. That took a while. It was top-notch engineering, Hephaestus would be envious..Then again, it came straight from the forges of Hell. You could lob a boulder at it, and it wouldn't leave a mark. Reinforced Celestial Bronze and Imperial Gold melted together and covered in Stygian Iron. I walked up, and the hallways lit up, and my crew walked up. That is when the real chaos started. So apparently like Hades really likes me, so he like brought everyone back from the dead to surprise me, and so I introduced my crew. "Here is my crew. Beckendorf the Engineer, Silena the Pilot, Bianca the Archer, Zoe the strategist and Ethan the Man at Arms. Everyone stared, and it was really a picture moment. Their eyes bulged, and mouths hung open. It took a second before everyone rushed forward. Thalia hugged Zoe, who looked surprised, Nico hugged Bianca, and they both looked like they were crying, Clarisse hugged Silena, who was crying while screaming about running makeup, Beckendorf and Percy did that weird man hug thing, and Ethan got a hug from Annabeth, which Percy did not look too happy about. Everyone else just stood around awkwardly, wondering what to do. I finally cleared my throat, and everyone broke apart. They were all very happy, it wasn't fair what I was going to do.
"Well." I said, "Now that that is done, Welcome aboard. As soon as you walk through this scanner," I pointed to the rectangular glowing machine, "It will automatically scan your brains and make your dream room, give you your favorite food, blah blah blah, and oh yeah, you are the only people who can come in and out of this ship. Unless you want me to add like some friend and I'll say the override, but otherwise, feel free to explore." I then teleported behind the hiding Stolls. They yelped. "If you wanted to come aboard, you might aswell ask." I grabbed both of them by their collars, and hauled them up to the ship. While I was dusting my hands I didn't even have to turn around before saying. "You too Katie, Someone has to look after these idiots. And that sure as hell isn't me." She momentarily got over her surprise at being found, and hurried up the ramp. "Well. Let's make sure there are no more interruptions." I said, and clapped twice to close the ramp. Travis and Connor were hugging Beck, and Katie was hugging Silena. Everybody was trying to figure out what had happened and how they lived, etc. I coughed to break the silence, and they all looked at me. "My offer still stands for exploration. Beck, put the ship on auto-pilot, we are going to Rome. We should be there in about an hour. And you know what to do."
Just a little line break...dadoodadooooooo
I was sitting in my office, thinking, when I checked my watch. We left at 9:45, and were scheduled to arrive at 11:00. It was 10:27, and I grabbed my controller, opened up the giant claw, and snatched Fetus the dragon out of the air. I then walked up to the cells, saw Leo furiously trying to saw his way out, Fetus blowing fire, and Calypso looking mad. "Why hello. Sorry about that rough greeting Leo. Now please, tell your dragon to stop blowing fire. I have your friends." "You have my friends? Where are they? What did you do to them?!" He said, lighting up on fire. I decided not to reply. I know, sounds like I'm stupid and all, but hey I'm as fireproof as he is. He asked with venom, "What, did, you, do, to them?" I laughed at him, and he shot fire at me, which I promptly caught, and let it rest in my hand. "Now, sir, since I have had my fun teasing you, not to mention let you figure out that I am also a fire user, but also that I am a champion of Hestia..Blah, Blah, Blah, you can go meet your friends." I opened the door, patted Fetus, and walked out, motioning for him to follow. I walked over to the loudspeaker, and said, "Everyone please come to the deck. I have grabbed somebody out of the sky." Leo was looking around the ship, like whoa. His eyes were huge. Piper was the first one to get there, and she squealed and tackled Leo. His muffled "Beauty...Queen….getofame.." She got off of him, and hugged him, and then everyone else came up. Leo got a bear hug from about 15 different demigods. Most of them were crying.
line break, cuz im too lazy to write out all the conversations…
After everyone had heard everyone's story and had their little family reunion, we finally arrived at Rome. I had lots of work to do.
