Chapter 10: Where's Tyson when you need him
Leo's P.O.V.
I was sure Piper, and Jason were hiding something that Zethes had said, I didn't know what, but whatever it was I was sure it had to do with Harry, and speaking off Harry, I didn't know how he knew, but I was sure he knew about my fire ability, I was going to have to find away to get him alone, and ask, or even beg him not to tell anyone. I knew I shouldn't keep it from my friends, but Nyssa had said that Hephaestus kids with that ability always ends up burning whole cities down, I was going to have to be careful.
I patted my hippogriff on the back of his neck, I decided to call him, Torch, The name seemed to fit.
About two hours after leaving Quebec, we stopped to eat, it was than Harry explained why his scar had hurt him, I felt bad for him, I couldn't imagine how it would feel being connected to someone like that. We also talked over what to do next, and it looked like we would be going to Chicago, to hunt down storm spirits, so after we ate it was back up in the air. We couldn't be on the ground for very long anyway.
As we flew, I suddenly started feeling, colder, and it suddenly got more dark, to my left I heard, Harry say.
"No, it can't be," and when I looked to him he pulled out his wand, and he had a scared look on his face, as he looked around him. Than to Harry's right I heard,Piper scream. I craned my neck to see what was wrong.
And in front of her was this thing in a rob, it was leaning in on her, and she was leaning back so far she was about to fall off her hippogriff, then Harry pointed his wand at it, and yelled something, and out of the end of his wand came a silver stag, and the thing flew away.
"Holy, Hephaestus, what was that?" I yelled at him, Harry looked at me after he saw that Piper was alright.
"That, Leo," Harry said. "Was a dementor, and we need to get out of here, I think they might be more."
Not long after he said that over a dozen of them came at us.
Harry kept shooting silver stag after silver stag at them, and Jason got out his sword, and Piper, who seemed to have recovered from her first attack, had pulled out her dagger, so I reached in my tool belt, and pulled out a screw driver, that happened to be made of celestial bronze and stabbed it, which everyone got close to me, out of the corner of my eye, I saw Harry abandon throwing spells at them and twist his wand into a sword, and begin to stab them like we were.
There was just too many we had to get away, and our hippogriff were getting scared and were starting real back, I heard Piper scream again and looked in time to see her fall. Harry reached to grab her but that just resulted in her pulling him with her, Jason jumped off after them, and before I could think of anyway of helping them, Torch suddenly reeled back and throw me off to.
"Not, cool." I screamed on the way down, a hand reached out and grabbed me. It was Jason, he was trying to control the air to keep us up, I saw that he had Piper, but I didn't see Harry anywhere.
"Hey, man where's my uncle?"I demanded, a pained look crossed his face, and Piper, looked to be holding back tears.
"I couldn't catch him." Jason said. "He was falling too fast."
"Oh, don't worry, Jas," I tried to comfort him. "I'm sure, he's alright."
"We're falling, like forty feet, Leo." Piper said. "How can he be okay, remember the prophecy, a death will unleash Hera's rage, Annabeth was right, Harry should have stayed at camp."
We all fell silent, as Jason was trying to get us on the ground safely, but then a big gust of wind blow, and we went falling down, right throw a glass roof. We landed right on the top of a metal staircase, we slammed down on it hard.
"Piper, Leo, you two alright?" I heard Jason somewhere to my left.
"Man, that hurt." I called back to him. "But, I'm in one piece."
"What about you, Piper?" Jason said, no answer. "Piper."
"I'm fine." I heard her squeal out, she sounded like she was in a lot of pain. "I think my ankle is broken."
"Just stay where you are, Piper." Jason said. "I'm coming over to you." I heard mental crack as Jason stood up, I opened my eyes, I had them closed since we landed, and I looked up, there was snow falling through the broken roof, the sun was coming up making the glass look like it sparkled, I rolled over to my side off my back, and then stood up, and I caught sight of Piper, and Jason, she was sitting at the top of the stairs, and Jason was pulling what looked like a lemon square out of a Ziploc bag and handed it to Piper.
"Leo, you sure you're not hurt anywhere," he asked. Looking up at me. I took a step forward and I stepped on something, and heard a crack, I looked down to see what it was and found a pair of round black glasses. I picked them up and realized they were Harry's glasses, I broke them in half when I stepped on them.
"I just stepped on Harry's glasses." I told them, looking around to see if I saw Harry.
"What?" Piper called. "Do you see him anywhere?"
Then I saw him, he was laying on his stomach, his head turned facing me, his eyes were close, and there was blood running down his head, and a little pile of blood on the floor next to him.
"Found him." I called, and instead off walking over to Piper, and Jason, I walked over to him. I got on my knees beside him, and gently rolled him over, and let out a big sigh,, I could see his stomach going up, and down as he breathed. I put my head to his chest to make sure. I could hear his heart beating.
"He's a live." I called to them.
"Thank the gods." I heard Jason say.
"Help me up, Jason." Piper demanded, as I looked Harry over I couldn't see anything wrong other than his bleeding head.
"You can't move on that foot." Jason was telling Piper.
I pushed Harry's hair back to see how bad he was cut, and it wasn't good, the side of his head was covered in so much blood from where he was laying in it, I couldn't tell where the blood was coming from, and he was really pale from losing so much.
"Guys, Harry doesn't look so good." I let them know.
"Come on, Jason." Piper said. "I have to see him."
"Fine." Jason said. I heard the sound of metal as Jason helped Piper up.
I pulled a wash cloth out of my tool belt, and a water bottle, I poured some water on the cloth and begin to wash some of the blood off his head, so I could see how bad his head was cut. Then jumped silently when Piper cried out, and there was the sound of someone falling.
"Piper." Harry moaned, moving his head from side to side .
"What's going on." I said, looking over at them in time to see Jason helping Piper back up.
"Piper stumbled and fell." Jason explained.
"Just help me over to Harry." Piper said. With in seconds, Jason was helping Piper to sit on the other side of Harry, she laid his head in her lap, not caring about all the blood, and grabbed the cloth from me, and starting washing off the side off Harry's head.
"Oh, gods that deep." Piper said, as she got most the blood off and I saw she was right the cut on his head was really deep, and blood just kept pouring out of it.
"We have to sew it up somehow or his going to bleed to death." Jason said.
"How about some ambrosia." Piper said. Jason went back over to Piper's bag and came back with the lemon square, Piper took them, and I helped Jason raise Harry's head, so Piper could put a piece in his mouth, she rubbed his throat to get him to swallow, then we laid him back down.
"The cut closed some, but it's still bleeding pretty bad." Piper said. "Think we should give him some more?"
"We can't, Piper, too much well burn him up." Jason said.
"We got to do something." Piper said. I looked through my tool belt then brought out some needles, thread, and a flash light.
I threaded the needle, then handed Jason the flash light, with our shadows falling over Harry it was a little hard to see his cut, so if I was going to do this I needed more light.
"Here, point that at his cut and make sure you don't move." I ordered. "And Piper hold Harry's hair back, and keep his head still."
"What are you going to do." Piper demanded.
"I'm going to sew him up." I answered, I took the cloth from her, and cleaned his cut off, then held it closed with one hand, and with the other I sewed it up.
"We need a bandage or something to cover that." Jason said.
"I reached back in my belt and pulled out some bandages, and duct tape. I cover his cut with a piece of bandage, then put duct tap over it.
"That should help keep him from bleeding." I said.
"I hope so," Jason said. "But I'm sure, Harry would rather you didn't use his head to play dress-maker."
"Very funny." I said. Rolling my eyes.
"Where are we?" Piper asked, she wasn't looking at either of us, she was looking down at Harry and running a hand through his hair, the part that didn't have blood caked on it. He looked as if some color was returning to his face, but what he really needed was a doctor or at least someone who knew how to help him. It would not be a good thing if Harry died on us, he was my friend/uncle or whatever, but he was a good guy, cool, and kind; I liked him, and didn't want him dead, and Jason was starting to think of the guy as a brother, and with the way Piper was acting she would be crushed, not to mention he's a good friend of Percy Jackson, and if Harry died and for some reason Percy blamed us for not saving him, will I didn't want to think of what he could do to us.
"I don't know where we are." Jason said, he looked around and his eyes fell on a logo that was on the wall I looked over to see a large red-eye with the stenciled words: MONOCLE MOTORS, ASSEMBLY PLANT 1.
"Closed car plant." I said, "My guess, we're in Detroit."
"Did either of you see where Harry's bag went?" Piper asked, "Or his wand?"
"I don't know about his bag, but his wand, which is a sword at the moment is laying over there." Jason said, pointing toward the right of me, I looked and laying about five feet away was Harry's wand/sword.
Harry moaned, and moved his head. "Where... Piper." He choked out, but his eyes didn't open, but they did move like he was turning to open them.
"I'm fine." Piper told him. "Just rest."
Harry's eyes flew open, and he looked around wide-eyed.
"Dementors." Harry choked out.
"They're gone, babe." Piper said. "No, don't move." Harry had tried to sit up, "You've hurt your head pretty bad, Leo had to sew it up."
"Were...were any of you hurt?" Harry asked, but his eyes were closing back, and he was trying to fight to stay awake.
"We're fine." Jason said. "Don't worry about any of us."
"My head hurts." Harry's eyes closed again, and this time he didn't open them back up.
"We need to find Harry's bag." Piper told us, going back to playing with his hair. "He's got this mirror in it..."
"Wait," I interrupted her. "I know you're an Arophdite kid and ever thing, but isn't it a bad time to start worrying about your looks."
Piper glared at me, "It's a magic mirror idiot." she snapped. "Annabeth has one too, Harry's godfather, Sirius gave them to them, if we can find his bag, then we can get a hold of Annabeth with it, maybe she knows what to do about Harry's head, because the thread isn't going to hold for long, and she might be able to tell us how much ambrosia we can take, before it burns us up, something we should have asked before we left camp."
"Calm down." Jason told her. "I'll go see if I can find it."
"And I'll go outside and see if Torch or any of the other hippogriff are around." I said, getting up then going down the stairs. I went out side and looked around, but I couldn't find any off them.
Havey snow was now coming down, I heard flipping of wings, and looked up to see Torch landing in front of me. I smiled and ran to him.
"Hey, buddy." I patted him. "Have you seen any of our friends"? I asked talking about the other hippogriff. I sighed and summons fire to warm my hands that were getting cold. I couldn't keep that little ability from my friends for much longer, Harry already knew about it. When he woke up, I was going to have to ask how he found out, I was so sure I had been careful with it.
I had been the first one since 1666, when London had burned down, if people knew no one would want me around, I wouldn't be welcomed back to camp. I had to shake my self from these thoughts. I had hippogriff to find.
The next hippogriff I found was Buckbeak, I found him on the other side off the building. He was munching on a dead rat when he looked up as he heard me coming I almost got sick from the sight of it hanging out of his mouth.
It took me almost an hour to find the bronze one, Jason had been riding, but I couldn't find Piper's anywhere.
I was heading back to the factory when I heard a crash that sounded like two dump trucks slamming together. Metal crumpled and groaned, the noise echoed across the yard. I knew that my friends most be in some kinda trouble, and with Harry as badly hurt like he was, this wasn't good.
I reached into my bag, and pulled out a three-pound club hammer with a double-face head the size of a baked potato, and went running toward the warehouse.
I stopped at the door and tried to control my breathing, I took a deep breath, and peeped inside, I could make out a catwalk above, the dim shapes of heavy machinery along the assembly line, but no movement. No sigh of my friends, I almost called out, but something stopped me something that was wrong, then realized it was the smell something smelled wrong, like burning mortal oil, and sour breath, something not human was in that factory I was certain. Somewhere on the factory floor, Piper's voice called out,
"Leo, help!"
But I held my tongue, I knew, Piper wouldn't have willing got off the catwalk and leave Harry by himself in the shape he was in, plus, Piper's ankle was hurt it would be hard for her to do.
I slid inside, and ducked behind a cargo container. Slowly, gripping my hammer, I worked my way to the center of the room, hiding behind boxes and hollow truck chassis. Finally I reached the assembly line. I crouched behind the nearest piece of machinery-a crane with robotic arm.
Piper's voice called out again. "Leo." Less certain this time, but very close. I peeked around the machinery, On a conveyor belt sat a truck chassis, and clustered around it were three dark shapes the size of a forklifts, Nearby, dangling around from chains on three other robotic arms, were three smaller shaps-and two of them was twisting around as if they were alive.
"Told you it was nothing," One of the forklifts size shaps rose and I realized it was some kind of giant. The other one most likely a giant too called out in Piper's voice "Leo, help," then it changed into a masculine snarl. "There's nobody there, No demigod could be that quite, eh"
The other monster, "If he knows what's good for him he ran away, or the girl lied about another one, let's go cook."
A bright orange fire light sizzled to life -an emergency flare, I ducked behind the crane, and my foot hit something, I looked to see Harry's backpack laying there, I took another look up, and realized the three smaller things dangling from the crane arms weren't engines. They were Jason, Piper, and Harry. Piper, and Jason hung upside down, tied by their ankles cocooned in with chains up to their necks, Piper, and Jason were flailing around trying to get free, they were both gagged, but looked unhurt, but Harry looked even worse did before, He just hung there not moving, he had even more blood on his head, which had come back open, I could see the thread hanging from it, and blood was dripping down from his cut on to the floor, for some reason he had been left unchained, I guess, it was because he was out cold.
On the conveyor belt, the bed of the unfinished truck was being used as a fire pit, a big metal pole was suspended over the flames which meant this was a cooking fire, but the most terrifying of all were the cooks. Three massive humanoids gathered around, they were standing stoking the flames. The largest one crouched with his back to me. The other to were each ten feet tall, with hairy muscular bodies, one of them wore a chain mail loincloth, {something I could've went without seeing}, and the other one wore a ragged fuzzy toga made of fiberglass insulation, other than that the monsters looked to be twins, each with a brutish face, and one eye right in the middle of their foreheads, the cooks were Cyclopes. (where's Tyson when you need him)
The worst was they were planing to cook my friends for dinner. I was terrified, I could hardly think. I had to do something I just couldn't let them eat my friends, and If I didn't do something soon, Harry was going to bleed to death. I slipped off my backpack, and started to quietly unzip it, as one walked over to Piper, who squirmed and tried to head-butt him in the eye.
"Can, I take the gag out now, I love it when they scream." He said, he had asked the third cyclops who must have been the leader. who grunted, so he took that as a yes, and removed the gag from Piper's mouth.
Meanwhile, I found what I was looking for in my pack: a stack of remont controls. The robotic crane's maintenance panel should be easy to find, but how to without being seen was the problem. I moved my foot and knocked Harry's bag over, the top which didn't zip, but only had a button to keep it close, popped open, and his silver cloak fell out. I had seen it before, he once said it was the only thing he had that belonged to his dad, which is why I thought he held on to it, but maybe that wasn't the only reason, when it fell out, it fell on my foot, and my foot was now gone. I picked it up and threw it around my shoulders, and my whole body disappeared.
"Sweet." I whispered, then tossed it over my head.
Like I thought was easy to find the crane's control panel, and I slipped a screwdriver from my belt, and got to work, I had to be sure not to make any noise the head cyclops was only twenty-feet in front of me.
The cyclops in the toga poked at the fire.
"Scream girl." the one in the loincloth snapped at Piper. "I like funny screaming."
"Mr. Cyclops, you don't want to kill us." Piper said to it. "It would be better if you let us go." loincloth scratched his head and turned to his friend.
"She's kind of pretty, Torque, maybe I should let her go."
"I saw her first, Sump, I'll let her go," Torque growled, then they started fighting and arguing over Piper, something I didn't think Harry would like very much if he was awake. Thinking that made me glance up at Harry, and I had to stop my self from crying out, because his eyes were open and he was watching the Cyclopes.
"Fools." The third cyclops yelled, making Harry close his eyes, and I realized he must have been awake along.
"She's Aphrodite spawn," the cyclops said, and I realized she was female, "She is charmspeaking you." She stumped over to Sump, and pushed him aside, then started yelling about how stupid he was.
"I should've thrown you in the streets when you were babies, like proper Cyclops children, maybe you wold of learned something and, now stroke that fire, Torque, and Sump you idiot, my case of salsa is in the other warehouse. Don't tell me you expect me to eat these demigods without salsa."
"Yes, ma, I mean no ma." Sump said.
"Then go get it." she picked up a truck chassis and slammed it over his head, Sump crumbled to his feet, I was sure it killed him, but he managed to push the chassis off his head, and got to his feet and ran off.
Now was the time, while they're separated, I finished with the second machine and moved toward the next, but Harry's cloak caught on something, and for a slip second my feet showed, thank gods the Cyclopes didn't see me, but I'm pretty sure Harry did, because when I looked up at them again Harry was staring right at me, then he closed his eyes so the Cyclopes wouldn't see him awake.
I forced myself to get back to work, if I was going to beat these monsters, I would have to do it before Sump came back with the salsa, I was running short on time, and the last part was the trickiest, from my tool belt I summoned some wires, a radio adapter, and a smaller screwdriver and started to build a universal remote. Harry's cloak was getting in the way so I took it off. I wanted them to see who kills them anyways.
"I thought Cyclopes made weapons for the gods." Jason asked, speaking for the first time since he got chained up. "I thought you were good guys." I guess he got that from the way Tyson acted, he was the only cyclops we had meant into now.
"I'm good at eating people." female cyclops said, "good at smashing, and good at building things, but not for the gods, that's our cousins the elder Cyclopes, they think they're so much better because they are a few thousands years older." she turned back to Torque "Now go slay the raven hair boy first, before he dies on his own, I like my meat fresh."
"NO!" Piper screamed. "No, please." As Torgue walked toward Harry.
"Oh," the female Cyclops said, "Do you have feelings for the boy?"
"You keep away from my brother." Jason yelled at Torque, but he just ignored him, and begin to unhook Harry.
"Your brother," the female said. "You two don't look like brothers."
"Please, you don't want to kill him." Piper said, "He's a wizard, he wouldn't teast very good."
The female Cyclops laughed. "You think you're the first one to try that," she turned to her son who now had Harry thrown over his shoulder and was carrying him back to the fire. "You remember, that wizard in the weird robs, and wearing a mask that looked like a skull?"
For some reason Piper went pale. "Skull mask you say."
"Yes, said he was so full of magic potions that it would poison us" female Cyclops said."Then he tried to threaten us with someone he called the Dark Lord."
"I remember him," Torque said, laying Harry down on the ground."It was only about a week ago, he had a some kind of accent, and was looking for a boy."
"Did he say who?" Jason asked. I didn't know what Jason, and Piper was getting all worked up about, I guess they knew something I didn't.
The wires sparked in my hands and the Cyclopes froze and turned to me, Torque picked up a truck, but before he could throw it, Harry held up his hand and whispered something and a jet of red light shot from his hand and hit the truck, and it went flying through a wall making a loud crashing sound.
"Torque, you fool! female "Can't you throw?" I guess she hadn't noticed the red light that came out of Harry's hand.
I stood up, Torque barreled toward me. I frantically gunned the toggle on my makeshift remote. Harry staggered to his feet, he may have been awake, but looked as if he was going to black out any minute, but yet he still had a determined look on his face, as he raised his arm in front of him, and held out his hand .
"Incarcerous" He yelled and thick robs came out of thin air and wrapped around Torque, who was caught by surprise and he fell to the ground, before he could recover a robotic hand grabbed him by the leg and hurled him straight up. The ceiling was too dark to see what happened, but judging by the loud clang, he hit one of the grinders, he never came back down, because he disintergrated.
The female cyclops screamed in rage, "My son...you...you," she turned to Harry. "This is all your felt, you were suppose to be out of it. Harry staggered and almost fell. I guess using his magic was taking a lot out of him, but he still looked scary, with the dry blood on his face and head, and the glare he was giving the mama cyclops, if he was glaring at me like that I would run.
Then Sump came walking in carrying a case of salsa. "Ma, I got the extra-spicy-"
He never finished what he was saying, I spun the remote's toggle, and the second robotic arm whacked Sump in the chest, the salsa exploded, Sump went flying backwards, knocking him into my third machine, and the third crane's arm slammed down on the flour, and he exploded into dust.
Two down, and one to go, Harry was staggering over to where Jason and Piper was hanging, as the last cyclops lucked her eyes on me.
"You busted my boys," she yelled. "Only, I can bust my boys."
Harry bumped a table knocking some metal things to the floor, she turned around and narrowed her eye at him.
"This is all your felt," she screamed, then went at him, Harry raised his hand and said.
"Stupefy," she looked stunned for moment then just shock it off, and walked closer to Harry, who was now having a very hard time staying on his feet. I punched a button, and two remaining arms swung into action, she caught the first one and tore it in half. The second arm smacked her in the head, but that only made her madder, she grabbed it by the clamps, and ripped it free, she swung it like a baseball bat, It missed Piper by an inch. Then she let it go-spinning it toward me, and I yelped, and rolled out-of-the-way, and it demolished the machine next to me. I looked to Harry in time to see his eyes roll in to the back of his head and he collapsed to the floor.
"HARRY!" Piper yelled.
I was on my own with an angry mother cyclops, which I wasn't going to beat with a remote and a tool belt.
She stood twenty-feet from me now next the cooking fire.
"Anymore tricks demigod?" she demanded, I glanced up at an engine block suspended on a chain, if only she would take one more step forward, the one link on the chain, my senses somehow told me there was metal fatigue.
"Heck, yeah I have tricks." I raised the remote control. "Take one more step, and I'll destroy you with fire."
She laughed at me, "Cyclopes are immune to fire, idiot, but if you wish to play with flames." she scooped up red-hot coals with her bare hands, and flung them at me, they landed at my feet.
"You missed." I said, she just grinned and picked up a barrel next to the truck, I just had time to read the word kerosene on the side, before she threw it. The barrel split right in front of me, spilling it everywhere, coals sparked, and I closed my eyes.
"No!" Piper and Jason yelled, as a fire storm erupted around me. When I opened my eyes I was bathed in flames swirling twenty feet into the air. The kerosene burned off, dying down to small fiery patches on the floor.
Piper gasped and Jason said "Leo."
Mother Cyclops looked astonished. "You live." she took that one step forward I had been wanting her to take. "What are you?"
"Leo Valdez, son of Hephaestus," I told her. "And I warned you, I'm going to destroy you with fire." I pointed one finger in the air and summoned all my will, I had never tried to do anything so focused or intense before, I shot a bolt of white-hot flames at the chain suspending the engine above her head, aiming for the link the that looked weaker than the rest, fire died down and nothing happen. mother Cyclops laughed.
"Nice try son of Hephaestus, it's been many years since I've seen a fire user, you'll make a spicy appetizer."
I heard someone whisper something, I looked to see light fly from Harry's hand, hitting the same link that I had, with the fire, and spell was too much for the chain sanpped and the engine block fell, deadly and silent.
"I don't think so." I told her, she didn't even have time to look up. smash no more mommy Cyclops. I looked at Harry who was out of it again. I to felt completely drained I hadn't used that much power before, and it took me a long time to get Piper and Jason down from their chains, Piper immediately ran to Harry.
When Jason had given her bag back after finding i,t she poured a little nectar into Harry's mouth, his cut closed a little more, and he groaned, and his color came back to his face, but this time he didn't wake up.
"Harry's going to kill me when he comes too." I said, as I once again sewed up Harry's head, this time though, it wasn't as bad as it was before, with him having drunk nectar on to of the other he had alrady taken, but it still needed sewed together, so it wouldn't start bleeding again.
"Why's that?" she asked.
"You know that silver cloak that belonged to his dad?" I asked Piper and Jason both nodded. "If you put it on it makes you invisible just like Annabeth's cap, that's how I moved around without being seen, but it was laying by me when I caught fire." I looked to were his cloak should have been burned up and saw it laying there the silver sparkling in the sun light.
"No way." I said, going over and picking it up.
"Most be fire-proof." Jason said, as I smelled it.
"That's weird it don't even small like kerosene." I said.
"Speaking of fire." Jason said. "Have you always been able to you know?"
"Yeah," I said, walking over to grab Harry's bag. "Sorry, I never told you."
"Sorry," Jason said. "You saved our lives, that was awesome."
"Harry, helped." I said, giving his bag to Piper, for she could hold on to it. Jason had already got his sword, and turned it back to a wand, and put it in his pocket to give back to Harry once he woke.
"Yeah, but you did just as much if not more than Harry did." Jason said. I smiled then frowned, when I noticed the ground at Piper's feet.
"They're forming again." I said. "Look." I pointed at the ground, and Jason stepped away from the dust, but Piper stayed sitting by Harry's side.
"How's that possible, Annabeth said it took a long time for them to reform."
"No body told the dust that." I said. I watched as it collected into piles, then forming a shape.
"Boreas said something about monsters not staying in Tartarus." Jason said. " The earth yielding up horrors, or something like that."
"Come on guys we need to get out of here." I told them, "The hippogriff are just outside, but maybe Harry should ride with someone so he don't fall off, and Piper will has to ride with someone, I never found hers, she most of kept flying when we all fell.
"Harry can ride with me into he wakes." Jason said " Piper can ride on Buckbeak for now.
"What about calling Annabeth?" Piper asked, she had taken a little silver mirror from Harry's bag.
"You can do that when we get far from here." Jason said. "Harry's cut isn't that bad anymore, and we have to get out of here before they reform."
Piper nodded, and stood up, "How long do you think we have?" she asked putting Harry's mirror in her front pocket, I just noticed that the top of her jeans, and the bottom of her jacket were covered in Harry's blood, she was able to wash it off her hands with a water bottle I had pulled from my belt, but there was nothing we had she could get it off her jeans, and jacket with.
"I don't know how long we got." Jason said. "But we need to go now." With that me and Jason carried Harry outside, I was surprised how light he was, as we got him up on Jason's hippogriff, he climbed on be hind him, and once, Piper got on Buckbeak, and, I got on Torch, we took to the sky again, if all went will, next stop would be Chicago.
