Makayla P.O.V
I was eating a pizza with Nico at the Hades table. We were arguing about the Jets and Patriots.
"Shut up! The Jets are so much better that the Patriots!" I shouted at him.
"You, sir, are very wrong!" he shouted back.
I slammed my fist on the table, "Che diavolo c'è di sbagliato con te? I patrioti assolutamente risucchiati in questa stagione! Sinceramente hve idea di cosa è sbagliato con voi! Eri caduto sulla testa?"
"Voglio un pugno così difficile! Senti, io sto per andare al rifugio per animali e comprarti un gattino. Vi farò innamorare con quella gattino. Poi, sono una notte buia e tempestosa, io vado a rubare in casa tua e un pugno in faccia!" he argued back.
I waved my arms over my head, "What does that have to do with anything?"
He stood up, "HOW DARE YOU!"
I stood up, "How dare me? How dare you!"
"HOW DARE YOU!"
"HOW DARE YOU!"
Leo walked past, "Start fighting already."
Nico and I were just about to start screaming when Chiron and Will ran in. Will looked like he had been crying. "Head counselers meeting in the Big House now." Chiron annouced. Each head counseler rose from their table. They all walked to the Big House, whispering. Will sniffed next to me, wringing his hands.
"What's wrong?" I whispered.
"Torrance. Torrance has gone missing. She was kidnapped. She might be…be…" he couldn't finish his sentence.
I rubbed his back. "It's okay, buddy, she's a tough girl. We will find her." I promised.
All of the head counselors gathered around the ping pong table. Chiron stood at the end. Will was sitting in the couch, biting his knuckles and trying to hold himself together. "William, will you please explain what happened?" Chiron asked him.
Will took a deep breath, "I came home and she was gone. A telekhine was in our room and it told me she was gone and is probably dead." He said flatly.
"What were you doing when she disappeared?" Travis Stoll asked.
"I was…out." He said.
"Doing what?" Conner Stoll pressured.
"Buying her an engagement ring. I was planning on proposing to her tonight." He whispered, cradling his head in his hands.
There was a collective gasp and a few of the female counselors 'awwwwww'-ed. Clarisse from the Ares cabin rolled her eyes, "You've known her for, what, four days?"
"Shut up!" Will snapped.
A flash of red and green darted through the room. Rachel Dare, the oracle, stood before us in a green hoodie and a pair of drawn on khakis. She looked terrified, pale and breathing heavily. "Oceanus has risen, he took Torrance. He is holding her captive!" she shouted.
Percy and Will stood. "Where?" Will demanded.
"Why?" Percy demanded.
"I had a vision. She was tied up and unconscious. I didn't see where. Oceanus was holding her captive. He said that if Poseidon doesn't step down, he will kill her. She looked awful; she is all cut up and has this nasty cut on her face. I looks like Luke's actually. Now that I think about it, she looks more like Luke's sister than Percy's. No offence, Percy. But they both have-."
"RACHEL!" everybody shouted.
"Sorry!"
Percy's girlfriend, Annabeth, stood up. "Someone has to get her back. If Oceanus kills her, we could have a repeat of last year. Percy, you should go." She said.
"No!" Will argued. "She is my girlfriend! I'm going."
"She's my sister!" Percy argued back.
"Break it up, ladies!" I shouted at them.
"Shut up, Makayla!" Percy shouted at me.
"Ma'am please calm down. Ma'am, would you like me to call your husband?" I said, earning a few snickers.
"I'm going." Will said.
"I'm coming too." I said, "We should probably go to the Underworld, just to be sure she is not there. And I think it would be better if I went. I think Hades would be…more understanding."
Leo stood up, "I'm going too, then."
I grabbed his hand, "Yeah, Leo's going. And Percy should stay. What if Oceanus got you too, Perce? Bad news bears. Bad news."
Percy nodded, "Fine."
Chiron stood. "It is agreed you shall leave in the morning?"
The campers nodded.
"You shall set of for LA tomorrow." He said.
"No, we will leave in an hour." Will said. "Guys, I need her back. If something where to happen to her, I don't think I could continue living."
Leo turned to me, shrugging. "Sounds fine to me."
"Same." I said.
Will P.O.V
Leo and I were loading supplies into the trunk of the Camaro. I tossed in a few blankets, pillows, my bow and quiver, and my sword. I slipped a first aid kit under the blankets. Leo was loading in weapons and food. Makayla was sitting in the passenger seat, honking the horn and screaming at us to hurry up. I wiped tears from my eyes and sniffed. Leo patted me on the back, "You were going to propose?"
I nodded, "She's just perfect. God's angel on earth. I need her. Every day of my life. I want to be with her. I can't lose her Leo. I just can't." I whispered.
Makayla honked the horn again. "Holy God, are you guys done yet? I want to be in Ohio by tonight!" she shouted.
"She's right. Let's get going." I said, getting in the car and starting the engine.
At least I knew Torrance wasn't dead. Now, if I only knew where she was.
