Hola! Another chapter! I'm posting this one a little early, usually for Friday updates I post really late Thursday night so you can read it first thing in the morning but I'm kinda afraid I might fall asleep before I do it tonight so here you go! I hope you enjoyed the last chapter because this chapter deals with the aftermath and showing how everybody deals with each other on a quest. Enjoy!

(Silena POV)

One hour after they beat a hasty retreat away from the Roman camp everyone that was conscious gathered around Leo, who was flying the ship. Charlie was sitting on the floor leaning against his dad, who was on the ground with him rubbing his back as he grimaced in pain, Zack kneeling behind Charlie wrapping a bandage around his injured left shoulder. Thankfully Annabeth had been able to help Zack stop the bleeding and he healed it to the point of it being a deep cut instead of the almost bone deep slash it had been.

Annabeth was next to the three of them, a slight wince on her face at watching her son's own pained expression. Lily was next to her dad helping him, Emily along with her father was a few feet away having a quiet conversation and Ethan and Silena were next to each other, silently waiting for the meeting to begin. Piper was downstairs taking care of Silena's still unconscious father with Coach Hedge.

Zack finished wrapping Charlie's shoulder and stood up, popping his back and walking over to Ethan and Silena, taking on their silent stance. Percy rolled to his feet and dragged his protesting son with him.

Charlie gave a sigh "Alright, I guess we should get this meeting started. We can fill anyone not here in later."

Everybody nodded and moved in closer, creating a misshapen circle. Percy started them off with a question.

"How did three Romans get passed you guys?" He directed toward Lily and Zack causing both of them to scowl.

"Hey, I was checking the engine room and Zack was switching the cabins from a single person room to two-person rooms. If you want blame someone blame Hedge, he's the Satyr." Lily said indignantly.

Charlie immediately jumped in. "Oi! We aren't blaming anyone for this except Gaea, alright? She is the only one at fault for this got it?" he gave glares to the younger three. They reluctantly nodded.

"Good," He then whirled around and glared at Percy. "And you! Were you really going to blame these two for the camp? Cause that would a serious dick move, Dad."

Percy had the decency to look ashamed. Annabeth gave her son a proud look and smacked her boyfriend/future husband on the back of the head and chided him for trying to play the 'blame game'. Percy winced and promptly apologized to Lily and Zack who, after making him sweat it for a few seconds, happily accepted.

Frank shook his head and bemusedly said "We need to find somewhere to land so Hazel can come aboard." Emily nodded her head in agreement.

Leo threw his two cents in next. "We also need to get celestial bronze, lime and tar so Lils and I can fix the ship. I already had Festus search the area and we can get all three in Utah."

Annabeth nodded and asked "Where?"

"The Great Salt Lake." Lily responded.

"Alright, Silena do you mind flying down and telling Aunt Hazel to meet us there?" Charlie asked looking at Silena. She bit the inside of her cheek and mentally ran a few calculations through her head before nodding.

"Yeah I can do that. We finished?" she asked Charlie, not even bothering to look at Annabeth.

Charlie gave a sharp nod and motioned for her to go. Silena gave him a thumbs up and walked over to the railing of the ship and quickly jumped it, smirking at the loud cries from the Parents. She forced the wind around her to catch her body and propel her toward Hazel.

Silena smiled brightly as she shot through the air, she had always loved flying and the rush it gave her. Looking around she quickly spotted Hazel to her left and aimed herself toward her. Flying down next to her, Silena waved at her aunt while she gaped at her in shock.

"Hello Auntie!" Silena cheerfully said, smirking as Hazel continued to gawk.

Hazel shook her head in disbelief. "What are you doing?!"

Silena's smirk grew more pronounced as she said "I'm flying! I also was told to tell you that we're landing in Utah at The Great Salt Lake."

Hazel sighed "Alright, I'll meet you there. Just…. don't die going back to the ship please."

Silena mock pouted "Of course I won't die! You people have no faith in me, I swear." she grumbled as she ascended back toward the ship.

Silena pushed the wind to get her there faster and she landed on the deck of the Argo ll twenty seconds later. She started giggling as she walked over to the group. It seems that when she jumped over the railing she had given the 'adults' heart attacks. All four of them were panicking while the kids were trying their hardest to calm them down.

"She's right there!" Silena's cousins all yelled, pointing behind the parents at her, completely done with them.

They whipped around and exclaimed her name, rushing toward her, Leo tugging her into a tight hug and berating her for scaring him half to death. She just smiled sweetly and patted his back.

Charlie let out an annoyed breath. "Now that you've seen that she's alive, can I go to my cabin and sleep this off?" motioning to his injured shoulder.

Instantly his parents turned around again and ushered him downstairs, Annabeth saying she 'didn't even know why he was still up'. Charlie took it like a champ and just allowed his parents to baby him.

Ethan and Silena chuckled at them and walked a few feet away to spar with each other while Lily and Zack sat down on the ground to watch them. Leo glanced at the two of them curiously but stayed where he was, piloting the ship. Emily and her dad had gone downstairs as well to the mess hall to hang out.

The two cousins went through a few stretches before settling into their stances. Lily rolled to her feet, got in between them and raised her hand.

"The rules of the fight are tap out or count out. No weapons except your bodies and no permanent injuries what so ever. Clear?" She asked, making sure they knew the rules. The two gave a sharp nod.

She grinned manically. "Alright, then FIGHT!" she said, bringing her hand down and diving out of the way.

They grinned at one another and lunged for each other.

OoOoOoOoOo

Silena tried to keep her balance as the ship landed roughly, still mock pouting about losing her and Ethan's spar. To be fair though he had pulled a good move, tripping her after she threw a kick, forcing her leg above her head and pinning her. Ethan grinned triumphantly next her as he barely moved from the landing.

Silena's scowl turned real as she grumbled "Damn ninja." Ethan just laughed at her.

She turned around when she heard Hazel land on the deck, smiling as she heard Leo exclaim. "We're in the middle of a lake! Can that thing fly?"

Hazel gave him a half-annoyed look as Arion whined angrily. "Arion can't fly but he can run across just about anything. Water, vertical surfaces, small mountains- none of that bothers him."

"Oh." Leo stared at the horse in disbelief. Hazel scrutinized him, obvious to the kids that she was searching for any difference in his face from Sammy- Leo's maternal great grandfather and Hazel's best friend before she died. It was kind of awkward to be honest.

Thankfully Coach Hedge broke the staring by coming up and saying "Valdez, does this count as an invasion?"

Leo immediately yelled "No! Um, Hazel, you'd better come with me. I built a stable belowdecks, if Arion wants to- "

"He's more of a free spirt." Hazel interrupted him while slipping out of her saddle, causing him to give her a slightly disgruntled look. "He'll graze around the lake until I call him. But I want to see the ship and my daughter so, lead the way."

Leo nodded and gestured for her to follow him. Slightly curious, Silena followed them down, passing her dad's cabin. The door was open showing her mom sitting next to Jason, who was still unconscious, holding his hand while he snored with an ice pack on his head.

Silena waved when Piper looked up while the three of them passed her. She gave Silena a soft smile in return before putting a finger to her lips, telling them to be quiet. They continued on to the mess hall, finding the others- Zack, Emily, Percy, Annabeth, and Frank. The Terrors were taking turns telling some story from their childhoods while the parents listened intently, smiling whenever they said something stupid they did as little kids.

She walked in and ruffled Zack's hair. "Are you brats telling them all our secrets?"

They instantly smirked and, in unison, said "Of course."

Percy shook his head and muttered to himself about how creepy the two of them were. Zack and Emily turned and flashed him innocent smiles, Percy just gave them a suspicious look that Silena knew the two of them delighted in.

Deciding to let him off the hook lest the Terrors completely freak him out, Silena asked "So, we've landed. What now?"

Frank answered. "Figure out the prophecy? I mean… that was a prophecy Ella spoke, right? From the Sibylline books?"

Leo blinked in confusion "The what?" Frank quickly explained about Ella and her impeccable memory for books.

"That's why you didn't tell the Romans," Leo guessed, frowning at the conclusion he had come to. "You didn't want them to get ahold of her."

Percy stared longingly at the image of Camp Half-Blood on the wall. "Ella's sensitive. She was a captive when we found her. I just didn't want…" He clenched his hands. "it doesn't matter now. I sent Tyson an Iris-message, told him to take Ella to Camp Half-Blood. They'll be safe there."

Leo looked doubtful but kept silent. Annabeth laced her fingers and looked at the Terrors and Silena with a serious expression. "Can you tell us anything about the prophecy?" They glanced at each other and shook their heads.

She sighed in disappointment but nodded in understanding. "Alright, then I'll think on the prophecy, but right now we have more immediate problems. We have to get this ship fixed. Leo, what do we need?"

He answered instantly. "The easiest thing is tar. We can get that in the city, at a roofing-supply store or someplace like that. Also, Celestial bronze and lime. According to Festus, we can find both of those on an island in the lake, just west of here."

"We'll have to hurry," Hazel warned grimly. "If I know Octavian, he's already spun the story to blame us and is searching for us with his auguries. The Romans will send a strike force after us. It's a matter of honor."

"If they do find us we'll be ready for them." A voice said from the door. Silena turned around and saw Charlie standing there, leaning against the door frame, a clean shirt on and looking refreshed from his catnap.

Percy scowled. "You are supposed to be sleeping!"

Charlie shrugged nonchalantly. "I got thirty minutes, I'm good."

Zack, Emily and Silena stared in surprise. It was after all nearly impossible for Charlie to sleep more than ten minutes during the day and six hours during the night. If he slept for thirty minutes than he was more hurt than he had let on.

Annabeth shook her head. "That is not enough sleep for the injury you had, Charles Lucas Jackson!"

Charlie gave her a look for the use of his full name and pulled his T-Shirt down, showing off his previously injured shoulder. The wound had healed to a small scar running from the top of his shoulder down to his collarbone.

"See," He gestured at it. "It's fine. Now, can we talk about who's getting what materials we need? Please?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.

Annabeth studied him and nodded albeit slightly annoyed. He let out a breath and motioned at Leo to continue, walking to the table and sitting down next to Zack.

He hesitated for a second before speaking. "I was thinking we could use the buddy system. Nobody goes anywhere alone. We can leave Piper, Coach Hedge and the Kids on board to guard the ship and Jason while he's out. Send one team out to get tar. Another team can go after the bronze and the lime."

Percy looked worried. "Split up? That sounds like a really bad idea."

Charlie and Silena shared a look, instantly deciding that Leo's idea was a good one and she spoke up. "It'll be quicker this way. Besides there's a reason a quest is usually limited to three demigods, right?"

Annabeth nodded at her logic. "You're right. The same reason we needed the Argo ll… outside camp, seven demigods in one place will attract way too much monstrous attention. The ship is designed to conceal and protect us. We should be safe enough on board; but if we go on expeditions, we shouldn't travel in groups larger than three. No sense alerting more of Gaea's minion's than we have to."

Percy still didn't look happy about it but conceded to their point. "As long as you're my buddy, I'm good." He told Aunt Annabeth.

Charlie snorted quietly at his statement causing Percy to shake his fist at him in a mock threat. Charlie just stuck out his tongue at him, Zack snickering next to him.

Hazel smiled "Oh, that's easy. Frank, you were amazing, turning into a dragon! Could you do it again to fly Annabeth and Percy into town for tar?"

Frank looked conflicted. "I... I suppose. But what about you?"

"I'll ride Arion with Sa- with Leo, here." She quickly corrected herself making Charlie and Silena exchange another look, this time planning on how to keep Frank and Leo away from each other when necessary. "We'll get the bronze and the lime. We can all meet back here by dark."

Frank did not look happy with that plan but before he could say something Emily pinched his arm hard and gave him a warning look. He kept his mouth shut thankfully.

"Leo," Annabeth kept the conversation moving. "if we get the supplies, how long to fix the ship?"

Leo tilted his head thoughtfully and said. "With luck, just a few hours."

She nodded and made the decision. "Fine, we'll meet you back here as soon as possible, but stay safe. We could use some good luck. That doesn't mean we'll get it."

Everybody nodded in agreement and started to disperse. Frank, Percy and Annabeth all got up and left the room to go do their task. Charlie looked like he was thinking hard before he dashed to the door, whistled loudly and waited a few seconds. Footsteps rushed downstairs and Lily appeared through the doorway looking expectantly at Charlie.

"Can you go with Aunt Hazel and your dad? I figure two firecrackers are better than one." He grinned at her. Lily huffed at him but agreed.

Charlie clapped his hands together. "Awesome, then you three can go and the rest of us will guard the ship. Where's Ethan?"

Lily pointed upwards. "He's on watch."

"Good, can you send him down here while you leave?" He asked while he ushered them out. Lily gave a thumbs up and followed the parents upstairs.

He slouched in a chair next Zack and lifted a hand to rest on the younger boy's head. Zack gave him a vaguely annoyed look but let him continue to rest his hand there.

Emily piped up next as Ethan came into the room. "So, what now?"

"Now, we make a schedule for keeping watch. Who's getting first watch?" He asked, looking between the four of them.

Ethan raised his hand. "I'm cool with first shift."

Silena raised hers next. "I'll take second."

Charlie nodded. "I'll take third and if we need a fourth we'll put you Terrors on it at the same time." he looked at the aforementioned Terrors who nodded in agreement.

"Alright, then let's go." He said cheerfully. They all climbed to their feet and walked out, all thinking the same thing.

Things just got real interesting. The worrying part was that none of them knew if it was good or bad.

At least they were together, right?

Yay! Chapter Twelve is done! Hope you guys enjoyed! Also, I'm kind of curious if you guys would be interested if I made a deleted scenes thing that shows you missing moments and such? Like Ethan's talk with Reyna and Percy's reaction when he actually gets told about Charlie for the first time? Let me know in the reviews!

Anyway! I wonder what will happen while the two teams are gone? And how will Lily change the mission to get the Celestial bronze and lime? And how will Nemesis react to Lily?

Find out next time on Fated to Save! Comic Out!

RosettaQueen20- I think you know the plan too, and yes Percabeth and Jiper will be absolutely furious when they realize what their kids do. I'm glad you like my OC's! I tried to make them as human as possible so yay! And I have plans for Reyna that you'll find out later. And this fanfiction may seem full of fun and games now but there is a lot of angst and family drama to come as well as a ton of Hurt and Comfort, just you wait.

Didi (Guest)- Wow I can't believe I made you faint! *fans face* And I'm glad you liked what I did with the Octopus as you put it, funny name btw. I couldn't figure out how else to do it since the Kids had their parents on lock down. Octopus, killer of stuffed animals is a liar who lies, so its going to a while before the Romans figure it out. Thank you my dude/dudette!
