Chapter 14:
I turn around to see Blackjack coming towards me. I knew I should be exited but I wasn't. What was he talking about? What kids? Who took them? I wanted answers right now. "Blackjack what's wrong?" Blackjack landed besides me and he explained everything to me. He told me he had been looking for me for days. All the pegasi kids had been kidnapped. He told me he followed a trail of them and it stopped at the Cerro Alto Mountain. Boss you have to find them and help them. The thought of them being at the Cerro Alto Mountain scared me a lot. I knew I had to save them. I couldn't let anything happen to them, but what was I going to do? We had to save the Hippocampi. What had Bobby said? He said he thought the giant was going to eat it. Maybe if we got rid of the giant we would have more time to get the Hippocampi, or maybe there was something else that was going to eat it. I didn't know what to do. I was going to think about it and decided not to tell anyone until I was sure about what to do. By now Lupa was gone, so I didn't worry about someone listening to the conversation.
"Don't worry. I will do something. Do you have enough energy to keep flying? I don't like asking but it is needed." I said. I tried to keep the worry from my voice. "And Blackjack, calm down. Try to forget about it right now." I was hoping no one noticed but obviously the other Pegasus did. They obviously didn't like the news about all the children from their kind missing. I had to keep them from getting nervous and I had to keep Rose from talking. I turn to all the pegasi and say "I will take care of it. I don't want anyone talking about it with anyone. Trust me." They all nodded. I eyed Rose and when she met my eye I knew she understood she shouldn't say a thing. I climbed on Blackjack and told everyone it was time to go.

The horses had enough energy to get us to a small town in Nevada. I knew not what town but I didn't mind. The pegasi probably did anyways so I didn't worry. We landed on the forest and made a camp just by the highway. Everyone was getting along with its ride great. Blackjack had gone back to his usual self when he heard that Oak had gotten a donut. Boss, why did he get a donut? You have known me for a long time and I don't get a donut. Do you have another one? Because you know I like donuts. I started laughing at this. It actually brought back memories. He probably didn't know I didn't remember anything so I stopped myself from telling him. He probably would freak out and start telling me of all the things he ever asked me to give him. Probably all of them were food.
It didn't surprise me Grover was getting along with everyone. I knew he actually wanted to spend more time with me, but I didn't really want to. I didn't want to be with him and don't remember all the things he was talking about. I knew everyone here but I wasn't close with anyone besides Grover, who I didn't remember fully so it didn't count. I wondered if what Reyna said was true. That I had something to do with this boy's disappearance. Something told me I did. I decided to go ask her about him. I look around the fire we did and see her sitting down in front of a tree looking down at something. "Hey Reyna. What's that?" I asked as I sat down besides her. I glanced at the picture. It was her and Bobby with another guy. He had blonde hair and blue eyes. They all looked about ten though. They looked dirty and tired, but they looked happy. "oh," Reyna said. "It's a picture of when we came back from when I first came here. Me and Bobby went to the same school but totally hated each other. One day out of nowhere a hellhound came to attack us. We probably would have died if Bobby hadn't made a plan and Jason had come to our rescue." I looked at Reyna. She looked sad remembering this.
"So, what's your story?" I asked next. As soon as I said it I thought she wouldn't tell me anything but she simply sighed and started talking. "Well we met when he saved us from being eaten. He got along with Bobby just fine, I really didn't like him then. When we got to the camp, every girl was sighing as he passed. They all waved and he winked at almost all of them. I forgot to mention I hated Bobby because he was the only one that outsmarted me when I tried to play a joke or steal something from him. Well anyways, he started giving us the tour. As soon as he mentioned the Minerva cabin the hologram appeared. No one looked surprised when this happened. They were probably used to it. This gave me enough time to pick Jason's pockets to try and find out something about him or about the camp. I found a coin that struck me as odd, there were also some other kinds of golden coins, then there was a pack of mints and lastly notes from many of his admirers as I liked to call them. I put them back while he was still explaining to Bobby that Minerva was his mother and all of that. The only thing I kept was the coin. When Bobby went inside the cabin Jason turned to look at me and winked. I just ignored and asked where I should go. Just then I heard some fighting. I had seen some practices when I got in but this was different they really sounded mad.
I ran to it because I wanted to see what that crowd was all about. I come to see two girls fighting and saying Jason was theirs and stuff like that. I turn to Jason to see if he would stop it. He was actually enjoying it. I knew he was a womanizer but this was a lot more than that. Everyone was paying attention to the other fight, so I didn't think they would notice me yelling at Jason. I looked at him straight in the face and told him a lot of things. He started to get angry and I saw this. At one point he took out one of the golden coins and flipped it through the air. Nothing happened and he noticed it wasn't the coin he was looking for. By know some of the crowd of the fight had turned to look at us. I heard him mutter, it should come back soon. I realized he meant the coin. I was still holding it in my hand. I later understood that because I was having contact with it wouldn't disappear. He looked over my head got red. He told me, stupid daughter of Hermes you took it didn't you. He looked like he would kill me in an instance but I was so mad at him because of the way he acted I simply opened my hand and showed him the coin. As soon as he saw it he flinched. I didn't hesitate before flipping it.
I saw him do it to the other coin so I assumed that was what I had to do but I didn't expect what happened next. A blade appeared and landed on my hand. I was shocked but Jason was really angry. Suddenly over us rain cloud started to appear. Give it to me you stupid girl, he said. I told him I would as long as he apologized to the other girls and as long and he swore to leave him alone. This of course made him madder and lighting started flashing around me. Somehow I knew it was his doing so I moved fast. I notice lighting had just struck where I was sitting and I thought he crossed a line. I ran to him and tried to slash him. He moved and avoided it but I tried again as another lighting almost got me. I finally slashed him in the arm. I thought I was dead for sure. But suddenly he started laughing.
I thought he had gone crazy so I dropped the sword to the ground and ran away. From that day on he tried flirting with me; I obviously just rejected him as hard as I could. One day I noticed he started to change he hadn't cause a fight between girls anymore. He hadn't he flirting with all the camp at once. And he had been more and more nice and romantic with me. One day, after a lot of years, two months ago actually we started dating. He changed for me and I don't want anything happening to him." She was crying hard by now. I was about to comfort her when I saw her stiff. I turned around to see our next challenge.
I'm sorry for the short chapter. I know it's really boring and I took a long time writing it. But between soccer semifinals and ONU thing I didn't have the time. But I promise the next chapter will be epic AND long. Actually I would LOVE to recommend another fanfic called Daughter of Athena its AWSOME! Well I guess that's all I have to say. REVIEW! Or not lol.
