Chapter 6

Franks POV

Frank flew through the air, angling his wings down a bit to catch sight of Arion. It was a blur, but he could just make out Annabeth and Percy on his back. He followed the horse until he couldn't fly anymore. He was so tired that in dragon form Hazel, Leo, and Piper felt like 50 lbs. weights. Flying low he dropped to the ground and folded his wings. Piper had just helped Leo off when he transformed to normal form and sat down heavily. Arion, who had been ahead of them, burst over to Hazel and skidded to a stop, sending Percy flying off his back and Annabeth hanging on to his mane for dear life.

Hazel rubbed Arion's snout and summoned a bar of gold, he ate it gratefully then sped off. Jason dismounted his horse said good bye and it, too, left. Hazel knelt down beside Frank and kissed him on the cheek. He was too exhausted to say anything but he smiled. "You did great, Frank. " She said giving him a hug and sitting down close to him. Annabeth nodded in agreement.

"You saved us." She said, helping a groaning and cursing Percy to his feet. Jason walked over to Piper who was sitting next to Leo. They kissed for a second then Jason sat down besides his girlfriend.

"Now what?" Piper asked once everyone had sat down.

Jason fiddled with a blade of grass, Hazel was picking at her shoe laces, Annabeth and Percy were looking at the sky intently and Frank Leo and Piper just stared at each other, wanting the others to answer. Leo was the one who finally spoke up. "Well, we should go to Camp J and get them to help us kick the bejeebers out of these monsters." His voice was dark though, his face was pale and he was holding his injured leg in his hands. Piper bit her lip and glanced at him, a concerned look on her face.

Frank decided he better speak up. "Yeah and Camp Jupiter is is perfect condition to help us fight the monsters." He said this sarcastically, rolling his eyes. Leo looked a bit hurt and pulled something out of his tool-belt and half-hardheartedly began to fiddle with it. Annabeth spoke up next.

"Your right, Frank. Who's to say that Camp Jupiter didn't get attacked either?" She looked at Percy, as if expecting him to yell that he agreed. But he just stared at the sky, his face was blank but his eyes were sad. Hazel kept picking at her shoes and Leo had made some wind-up toy.

"Camp Jupiter may be our only hope." Jason argued, he threw some grass behind his shoulder and glanced at Leo, who had shot him a grateful look. Piper nodded, she agreed.

"Camp Jupiter can't fight our battles for us." Percy said. Whether he actually though this or decided to not anger his girlfriend was unknown, but right now the deciding "vote" was Hazel. Everyone stared at her expectantly.

She took a deep breath and began. "What else can we do, really?" But this sounded more like a question than a statement. Annabeth bit her lip, but she didn't answer. Hazel seemed to take this as "we can't do anything else" and said. "We should make our way to Camp Jupiter. Maybe they can help us fight, if not...well we'll come up with something else."

Frank was a bit disappointed that his girlfriend hadn't agreed with him, but he was glad to go back to Camp Jupiter. He just didn't want anyone to get hurt.

"So, gang, lets go get some backup and kick some monster butt!" Leo said and punched the air. This shifted his weight on his injured leg, his face flashed with pain but Frank wasn't sure he had seen it, it was gone in a second.

"Yeah, kick some butt." Frank muttered, and a bit of hope flashed inside of him.
