Here is the next Chapter thank you for all of the review I loved them and on with the story.
I in no way own PJatO or HoO
When I awoke we were back in the van, my head in Piper's lap, her hair was murky as if she had been dipped in mud, and she looked down at me and smiled.
"What happened?" I asked trying to sit up; she frowned and held me down. I relented and continued to lie down. "How long have I been out?" I asked again she frowned looking out the window then back at me.
"A couple of hours." She replied. I nodded slightly wishing I hadn't, I wanted to throw up.
"Oh thank Zeus, Prissy is awake." I heard Clarisse from the front, followed by the sound of a high five.
I knew who would have high fived Clarisse the next sentence just seemed to confirm it.
"Yeah you go sis'." I rolled my eyes ignoring both of them.
"You never answered my question."
Leo's head popped up from the seat in front of us, his hair seemed more dishevelled than usual. There were scorch marks covering his face, and I couldn't help but notice a long gash just above his forehead.
"You look like crap Percy." He said a goofy grin on his face.
"Same goes for you fire boy." I replied he poked his tongue out at me before climbing over the seat landing on the floor of the van with a loud thud.
"Leo what in Hades name do you think you're doing?" Annabeth whined from the seat in front of us.
Leo sat up stretching his back. "I am moving from that cramped space to this space here." He replied, and then he whipped his head around to face me. "Get up Percy."
"Leo, you can't say that he has been passed out for almost ten hours." Will spoke, turning around, his once blonde hair was now an ashen gray.
"Do I want to know what happened?" I asked shifting my legs so that there was a spare place for Leo to sit, Piper must have been tired from holding me down because she gave in easily with a loud sigh.
Everyone seemed to ignore me.
"Piper, why aren't you stopping him?" Annabeth spoke turning to face us. Piper held up her hands in signalling she had given up.
"You try holding his head, especially when you have tweedle dum over there driving, and bloody flame boy constantly making wolf whistle noises and then so called 'sea weed brain' drooling on your pants." Piper glared at Annabeth for a moment, dark circles under her eyes.
"Whoa guys chill." I sat up fully looking over the seat, wishing I hadn't as my stomach began to churn. But once again everyone ignored me.
"I have taken care of him before." Annabeth replied coolly.
"You love me and you know it." Leo said a suggestive grin on his face; Piper caught half of it and punched his arm before continuing to glare at Annabeth.
"I think Travis drives quite well." Connor replied earning a 'Whoop' from Travis.
"Guys." I tried to keep the peace but all Hades had broken loose, Piper and Annabeth were arguing, Clarisse had punched Connor in the Face causing Travis to swerve the car around like a maniac, Leo was then arguing with Will about Zeus only knows what, meanwhile Liam sat in his chair a smirk on his face.
"GUYS!" Finally everyone turned to look at me all with shocked expressions. "Thank you. Now can someone PLEASE tell me what happened?"
Leo looked down into his lap like he didn't want anyone to talk about it. The whole van went silent.
"He came for us Percy." Annabeth spoke; she looked at me with sad eyes.
I knew who she was talking about; he told me I couldn't hide from him. "When?"
"I don't know, I remember waking up, you were lying on the floor, I thought you were dead. Then they came, Percy he came, I could recognize his gold eyes anywhere, he had his body. If it weren't for Leo we wouldn't have made it out alive."
I looked at Leo who had a slight blush across his cheeks. "What do you mean? What did you do Leo?" I asked he looked out the window.
"I got scared and it just happened, the whole room went up in flames, he said I was the perfect weapon, he said he was going to take me back to her, Percy he was going to take me to Gaea." Leo looked out at the fields closely as if one would spring to life and take him.
"Leo, we won't let that happen." Piper spoke soothingly; she reached over and gripped his shoulders. Leo continued to look out the window, but from the reflection I could see a slight smile.
"Leo I promise to you that she will never get her hands on you." Leo turned to look at me, and I could swear he was about to cry.
"Thanks, Perce." He smiled and looked at Piper, who was still gripping his shoulder, and his smile grew a little wider.
By the time we reached camp Jupiter Will had healed the gash across Leo's forehead and a few cuts on Connor and Clarisse, even a cut across my arm.
We all walked through the tunnel, I had to use my powers to separate the water of the little Tiber, which was exhausting, but, being Chaos' champion I rebounded, although it took a little longer than usual, but that was probably because Chaos had left earth, for now anyway.
Piper walked in behind the rest of us, she looked around nervously, straitening hr back and brushing her fingers through her hair.
"You okay Pipes?" I asked hanging back. She like the rest of us still had soot covering her face, but unlike the rest of us she still looked pretty.
"Yeah, it's just that, you know, Jason." She looked down at her feet her hand holding her other arm.
I pulled my arm around her shoulder and pulled her in a comforting hug. "It's alright; he doesn't know what he is missing." I replied, I was trying to cheer her up but it didn't seem like it was working very well but soon Leo spotted us, he smiled at us and walked back.
"Hey what's up?" he greeted eyeing Piper.
"Nothing much, just talking." I answered.
He raised one of his eyebrows. "With your arms around her shoulders." He smiled slightly, but I could see it in his eyes, the jealousy.
"Why? You jealous Leo." Piper smirked I was sure she knew.
Leo frowned punching Pipers arm. "No." Piper and I both smirked before I removed my arm.
The whole story with Jason was difficult, he had two girls after him and in a way he cared for both so he took the noble choice and choose neither, instead he focused on his job as Praetor, so far that I knew Dakota and Reyna were camp Jupiter's new power couple.
We walked in through the gates with a small wave to the soldiers manning them, it turned out that they knew we were coming which kind of creepy and well was disturbing. If they knew we were coming then we had been watched by an enemy which the Romans had caught, or we were in more serious stuff than we thought.
"Hey guys." A stocky looking boy stood in front of us with short buzz cut, hair.
I looked up at him and smiled. "Hey Frank." I greeted giving him a 'man-hug', we all smiled as we introduced, Conner, Travis, Will, Clarisse and Liam.
Frank smiled at his Greek siblings, before introducing himself as a son of Mars causing his other siblings to smile and talk about some weird new sword. Which Frank surprisingly smiled and continued to talk to his siblings.
We didn't need to tell him where we needed to go because he led us there. Inside the Principia sat Jason and Reyna concerned looks on their faces.
"What is wrong guys?" Annabeth spoke Reyna looked up at Annabeth then towards the rest of us, her face cold and hard.
"Thank you Frank, you may leave." Frank nodded his head and waved goodbye to the rest of us before leaving.
"Reyna, what is it?" Piper asked, Reyna looked at her, her face hardening before softening just a bit, they both had been hurt by the same guy, but it was better than just one being hurt more than the other.
But Reyna didn't speak; she sat back down Aurum and Argentum sitting beside her eyeing us carefully.
"Krios has risen." That was all he had to say for us to realize that we were in a far deeper problem than we realized.
Hope you all enjoyed if not Sorry but I had fun writing this chapter, I don't know why but I did.
