I know that Will was not really himself last chapter, but I would like to see something below that sunny smile.
Jason POV
I pounded on the door, and Chiron let me in. He gave (still sounded like an order) lemonade to me. I sipped it, and sat down, trying to calm down my anger.
Chiron watched me and asked, "Leo, please. Tomorrow. It's nearly midnight, and unless it's extremely important, it can wait until tomorrow when we are awake." I left, knowing that my presence wouldn't help his temper when he would find out who I would accuse of. Tomorrow, Leo would be able to come here, and we would need to form a plan together.
-Time skip: The next day-
I woke up at around three in the morning, drenched with sweat. I had that awful nightmare about Gaea killing someone's parents, although I had no idea who it was. I told a cold shower to wake me up, before drinking some water. Then, I looked at the door, and opened it.
A knife was immediately at my throat, "What are you doing boy?" I looked and saw Andrea.
I replied casually, "Opening the door to get some fresh air in."
She lowered the knife, "It's a machine shop, there isn't much fresh air around. If you want fresh air, I suggest that you change out of your pajamas, and open a window, or go out the front door."
I looked down at the fiery pajamas, "Oh." I had completely forgotten to change out of them. Oops.
Andrea rolled her eyes, "Boys." I turned back, and changed into a Camp Half Blood shirt. I walked out the front door, with the girls following me.
I turned around and snapped, "Can you just stop following me?"
Sara smirked, "Our company being too much for a boy like you? And I thought that you looked so awesome! Not."
Andrea was a bit more practical, "We won't do that Leo." I stopped in my tracks, seeing something heading towards this way. It looked like an orange mist speeding towards me. I jumped backwards, knocking myself onto the girls who insulted me. I didn't really pay attention though, since my eyes were still on the misty thing. I opened my mouth to ask the girls if they see something, before the orange mist surrounded me. It went through my mouth, my eyes, and I felt it go into me. I staggered back, before shaking my head and continuing to walk. I knocked on the door to the big house.
Chiron opened it and said, "Hi Leo. I'm talking with a few people right now. Come back tomorrow please." I was going to retort but something stopped me. I smiled and nodded instead. I walked to my own cabin and knocked. Someone opened the door.
Leo said, "Hi Leo. What can I do for you?"
I grinned, "'Sup Jase. It's lunch time right?" Why in the name of Zeus did I just say that?
A nagging voice in the back of my head replied, 'Since you've switched bodies.'
Leo nodded, "It is indeed lunchtime. I recall that you want all the tacos." Gods, why was Leo as stiff as a board? Maybe he was uncomfortable around those Hunters like I was. I began walking to the Big House and Leo followed me. We sat at our appropriate tables. Rachel waved at me and sat down.
She asked, "Leo?"
I asked, "Yeah?"
"For some reason, I don't believe that it was you who killed Thalia. It's just a small hunch. Anyways, I've got to talk to Chiron about something."
"Okay."
Chiron stood up after a few minutes, "I believe that I have found out who has taken both Florence's and Gloria's life away. It is Leo Valdez. Let's face it-"
Rachel began to spew green smoke, "The threes from the unlikely genders,
One with fire and one with water,
The sirens call shall be blended,
The fire and the plants will flip and flop,
The skeletons surrounding the beautiful voices,
Who can't be stopped with wax or other noises,
The unlikely mist rises from above,
And the switched will have something to prove of."
She wobbled and collapsed, but the Hermes twins were already ready to catch her. Connor laid Rachel onto the couch and Travis sent Chiron a thumbs-up, to signal that Rachel was okay.
Annabeth stood up, "Since I'm the head of the Athena cabin, I'll analyze it. Unlikely genders would be girls and boys I think. Three female, and three male. Fire would probably be Leo and the water should be Percy. Plants... I'm an expert at plants and their remedies, along with their medicine. I'm going. Piper is a great healer so she should also go. Frank can turn into things and he'll be useful. It'll be unlikely for Romans and Greeks to go so he should go. So we need one more person."
"I'll go." Everyone turned and stared at Drew.
Drew looked up, "What? I would be useful and I should be immune to the siren's charmspeak. It is obvious that it's the sirens right? Beautiful voices? Which monster had a beautiful voice besides them?"
Annabeth rolled her gray eyes, "There are empousai, and-"
Drew rolled her eyes back at them, "They don't affect me. Trust me, this will be great." She winked and Percy and Leo, no doubt hoping that they would ditch their girlfriend or crushes and follow her instead. Annabeth took out her dagger,
"You will not steal my boyfriend."
She giggled, "You'll let me have Percy." Her voice dipped and felt like honey. It was soothing and relaxing. It had the rhythm to obey... obey... obey...
The gray eyes clouded over slowly, "I-I will let you have Percy."
Piper stood up, "Snap out of it Annabeth." She focused her voice on breaking the spell that was upon the girl.
She shook her head, "What happened? I don't remember-wait... Drew!"
Drew smiled, "See? I can be really charming if I needed to."
Chiron interrupted, "That may be true, but you forgot that they are also immune to charmspeak."
Drew blew on her fingernails, "I am going on this quest."
I was certain that Leo needed to go to the quest too, "I think that Jason should go too."
They stopped their conversations, "Sorry, but it's decided. Leo, Drew, Annabeth, Piper, Frank, and Percy will go on this quest to kill the Sirens."
"No. That's not what Fate has decided." They turned to see a girl walking towards their way. Percy and Nico immediately bowed, recognizing her. I sensed a presence that was strong.
The girl said, "The ones chosen by a goddess are-"
Annabeth interrupted, "How can you tell?"
She smiled, "I am Hestia, goddess of hearth."
