Thalia's POV
This sucked.
I sat cross-legged and stared into our campfire. Frank had morphed into a dragon and breathed fire on a pile of branches we'd collected. I grabbed a stick and used it to probe around in the flames. A spark flew out at me and landed in my hair. I shrieked and frantically patted it out.
No one even looked up.
Grover and Juniper were making-out on one side of me, while Frank and Hazel did the same on the other. I glared at them, but they didn't seem to notice.
I missed Connor and Nico. My single buddies. While everyone else was caught up in their own relationships, us loners had had our own fun.
I cleared my throat. "Ahem..." They continued to exchange saliva. "AHEM!"
"What...do..you..want..." Grover managed between kisses.
"GUYS!" I shouted. "WE ARE STRANDED ON A REMOTE ISLAND! WE HAVE NO IDEA WHERE OUR FRIENDS ARE! THEY COULD BE DEAD!"
That got their attention. They stopped smooching and stared at the ground in shame.
"She's right." Frank said softly.
"So what do we do?" Juniper asked innocently.
"Well none of us are injured." Grover observed. We all looked down at the variety of cuts, scrapes and bruises that covered our bodies. "badly.." Grover corrected himself.
Hazel spoke up. "So, overall we're in pretty good shape. There's all kinds of edible vegetation in the forest, we collected plenty of rain in our canteens..."
She trailed off and everyone stared at me expectantly. Since when do I have to make all of the decisions?
"So we find them." I announced bluntly. It was the obvious choice. "And we start looking now."
Sorry it's so short...I'll try to make the next few chapters a little longer. Big thanks to all of those who are reviewing :) I really appreciate it and will return the favor by reading your stories! I'm not really sure where to go the with the next few chapters...I've got a bunch of ideas but I'm not sure how to put them together...ideas and/or input will be GREATLY appreciated!
