Okay, sorry that this took awhile, but you guys know the story. I'm sorry if you find this rather short, but I was still recovering. Now, ON WITH THE STORY!:


Frank

The past day and night was extremely weird for Frank. First, he had to sit and talk with Clarisse, and that was just outright awkward. Then they made him sleep in the same room as her, just because they were siblings, even more awkward! It was even awkward asking for the TV remote, mostly since Clarisse looked even tougher than him. She was also in command of the TV, Frank didn't bother to argue, so she watched Cage Wrestling matches. Frank went to sleep with the sounds of grunting men, and people being slammed into the cages, and the occasional referee yell out in pain.

And so, that concludes the previous day. Today though, this was a very different case. Frank woke up, and saw Clarisse doing sit-ups on the floor, counting under her breath. Frank was about to get ready for a shower when he heard Annabeth's yelling. He and Clarisse ran outside, and boy was it different. When they went to sleep, it was a highway next to the motel. When they woke up, they were in the middle of a wheat field. And then Jason revealed something else, the entire motel had changed locations to now, Montanna.

There was no time to ask questions, they had to get going. Frank quickly got changed, grabbing his duffel-bag filled with his armor. He quickly got his Imperial Gold armor on, and was outside with Clarisse, and she was dressed in Celestial Bronze armor, with a Boar Helmet, and her spear "Maimer". Percy came out, wearing a Celestial Bronza breastplate, a Corinthian Helmet with two Horse Hair Plumes, and riptide in his hand. Annabeth wore a Celestial Bronza breastplate, with an Owl Helmet, and her dagger in it's sheath. Gustav wore the same armor as he did, except his shield was shaped like a rectangle, while Frank didn't use a shield.

Jason, what he wore, it was shocking everyone. He was wearing Black armor, with black gauntlets and black greaves. He had a Jet black helmet under his arm, and it had two Horse Hair Plumes. He had his Gladius at his side, he looked dark and ready. "Come on, let's get to the entrance." Percy seemed hesitant, like he wasn't sure about following Jason, Frank felt the same. But finally, Annabeth pulled Percy along by the hand, and eventually, he was willingly following. Frank was reluctant, his bow at the ready, the wheat was up to his nose, so anything could be lurking in this field.

They got to a cave, it looked dark, foreboding, and everything you'd expect the entrance to the Shrine of Tartarus to look like. "I'm guessing that's the entrance?" Percy asked, "It looks evil."

"Well what did you expect! Sunshine and bunnies!?" Jason almost shouted.

"I would've liked that much better." Percy murmered under his breath, and Annabeth grabbed his hand.

"Let's go, the sooner we're done, the better it will be." Jason said, a smile playing across his face. He delved into the cave, followed by Clarisse, then Gustav, and then Frank. He could hear Percy and Annabeth whispering behind him as they got into the tunnel. They walked, and they walked, and they walked. The only difference in their surroundings was the rock types. The area shifted from stone type, to stone type, lime, sometimes granite, etc. But then, things got even better, they came to a fork in the path. There were three paths, and ironically, six people. That meant two people could go on each path.

"We'll go down the left path." Annabeth said from the back.

"We'll go down the center path." Jason said, pointing to Gustav.

"Whixh means," Clarisse said, "we'll be going down the right path." Frank felt nauseous, the idea of going into this deep dark tunnel. He wanted to leave, he wanted to feel the sun on his face. He grumbled and followed Clarisse, walking in total silence. What felt like eons later, they heard something. almost like a shriek. It went on, and then it stopped. Then they heard more shrieks, like something dark, something evil. These were high-pitched, so they made the hair on Frank's arm stand up.

They could hear shouting now, it was coming from the other side of the wall. One of the people sounded like Jason, yelling something. A deep yell sounded, and then the silence presumed. "What was that?" Frank asked, feeling himself tremble.

"I don't know, but I don't think we should linger here." Clarisse said, and she continued, him falling in behind her. Eventually they came ot a broader section of the tunnel, the walls were farther apart now. But it was still pitch black from beyond the torchlight. Now, the screams continued, much closer this time. He saw something move in the darkness, and heard a -WHOOSH-. and the torch light went out. Shrieks filled the whole area, and Frank drew out his bow. The whooshing sounds were all around them now, along with the shrieks. Clarisse's spear gave a little light, but that wasn't nearly enough.

In the lightning sparks, he could see, skeleton shaped mists floating around them. These were emitting the endless ammount of shrieks. The shrieks turned to delighted shrieks, like someone who won a prize. They struck now. Clarisse was picked up, and she dropped her spear. Frank fired an arrow into the darkness, but it didn't hit anything. Before he could draw out another arrow, he was picked up, and felt icy cold, he couldn't fight them anymore. He fell asleep, in the cold embrace of the wraiths.


Okay, so here it is. I should be updating within the next few days. SO I hope this is enough to hold you over. And As Always, Have A Nice Day!
