When Chiron had told Annabeth to IM the seven and Reyna, Sam had to admit, he was confused. He thought IMing was 'instant messaging' and he hadn't seen anyone in Camp carrying a phone, nor had he seen any electronics in the Big House. He looked at Annabeth to ask her about it, but hesitated. Nothing much scared Sam anymore, but something about the daughter of Athena unnerved him. Maybe is was the way she carried herself, as if she had to be strong, as if weakness wasn't an option. Maybe the way she spoke as if she had survived something that no one else had, or maybe it was the way she held her dagger as if it was a lifeline. But one thing was for sure, she was not someone to mess with.
Sam's thoughts travelled to when they first met the blonde, mere hours ago. She had tackled Dean and was ready to slit his throat if they made another move. Before she was sure they weren't going to attack her her home, or her family. The more he thought about it, the more she reminded him of himself. Before he was able to think more about it, Sam's train of thought was interrupted by Annabeth snapping in his face.
"Sam, were you listening?" The teen crossed her arms, glaring up at him. As Sam shook his head she rolled her eyes.
"Fine. I'll just show you instead then." Annabeth shoved the door she had stopped at open, revealing a table holding a spray bottle of water, glass prisims, a desk lamp, and a small stack of gold coins. The younger Winchester looked at Annabeth, sure this was a mistake but she moved forward.
"We need to make a rainbow." She told him, picking up the bottle and handing it to him. "Normally, I'd get Percy to make one but as he isn't available, you'll need to spray. And do not stop." The daughter of Athena's voice broke when she said Percy, but otherwise stayed strong. Sam did as told and started spraying, creating a shower of mist. Annabeth set up the lamp and a glass prism to the light created a rainbow with the mist. Then, she picked up a gold coin and tossed it in.
"O Iris, goddess of rainbows, please accept my offering. Show me Reyna Ramirez and Frank Zhang at Camp Jupiter." For a moment, Sam considered making a break for it, but then an image shimmered to life in the rainbow. A girl with dark glossy hair pulled back in a braid and purple robes was bent over a desk by another teen with a military hair cut and a quiver slung across his back, who was wearing matching robes.
"All I'm saying is take a break Reyna. Percy's strong, probably the most resilient demigod I know. And he'll never forgive you if you die while searching for a way to save him." The boy said, resting his chin on his hand.
Annabeth interrupted the girls response with a cough. Both heads swiveled towards Annabeth and Sam.
"Annabeth!" The boy's face broke into a tired smile that immediately melted when he saw her face and Sam beside her. "What's happened and who is that?" The girl who Sam assumed was Reyna sat up straighter in her chair, assuming a regal but lethal stare, similar to a wolf's.
"Frank, Reyna, this is Sam Winchester. He's a hunter." Almost instantly, both of the other demigod's expressions became guarded.
"Are Hazel, Jason, Piper, and Nico in Camp? This is important."
Reyna nodded. "I'll call them up."
In less than 3 minutes, a small crowd of demigods had assembled on the other end of Iris Message. Sam was so intrigued by what was happening, he didn't even think about how much his arm was going to hurt. On the other end, Reyna and Frank sat in two high backed chairs, while a girl with choppy hair and multi-coloured eyes sat in front on the desk, holding hands with a boy who had blonde hair and electric blue eyes who sat next to her. Next to Frank was a girl with dark cocoa skin and gold eyes, fidgeting with… was that a diamond? The final demigod, Sam almost didn't notice. He had dark brown, almost black eyes and the palest complexion Sam had ever seen. Even through the IM, the boy radiated death and power. All of them held weapons, mostly swords along with a few daggers, save Frank who had his bow and quiver.
Quickly, Annabeth introduced everyone and then started explaining what happened up until this point. Everyone at the other end listened intently to her story, glancing at Sam whenever Annabeth mentioned him, Dean, or Cas. When the daughter of Athena had finished, it was so silent that you could have heard a feather drop. The first one to speak was Nico, whom he had learned was the pale boy.
"So, do you know where he is now?" Nico spoke softly, but deadly (no pun intended) serious. Annabeth shook her head.
"No. He just disappeared." She waved her hand helplessly. The girl's hand rested on the hilt of her dagger as she spoke. "He isn't fully Percy anymore. Something happened to him." One of the girl, Piper Sam thought, spoke next.
"Annabeth, don't worry. We will get him back." Piper's voice was soothing and inviting, relaxing Sam and calming Annabeth, but only a little.
"Without Leo we don't have any way to build anything to track him, or even find him." The other blonde spoke, Jason, and the mood became even more somber. Sam remembered Chiron's story, and realized Leo must have been the demigod they lost in the final battle. And judging by everyone's saddened faces, he must have been a close friend. The golden eyes girl, was it Hannah, or Haeley, no, Hazel, broke the silence.
"Do we need to get down there?" Annabeth thought for a moment and then nodded slowly.
"Yes. Percy said Camp Half-Blood might be attacked if the angels knew he was here." Sam noticed how she spoke the word carefully, as if she still couldn't believe that Percy used to be an angel.
"Okay. We will be leave now. Brina, our new augur, will run Camp in Frank and I's place while we are gone." Reyna finally spoke, tossing her braid back over her shoulder. Her voice held such authority, Sam wasn't surprised she was the leader. Annabeth nodded, a little bit of the tension in her shoulders leaving.
With a few final parting words, the group dissolved. Annabeth swiped her across the image and it dissolved. Sam dropped his arm and set the spray bottle down.
