A/N-Happy after Labor day for those in the U.S! I had time to write a chappie or two, so here you go! Happy reading!

Persia Pov-

"Annabeth, what do you mean?" I repeated, shaking the girl's shoulders. "Come on, you can't just drop a huge bomb on me and clock out like that."

Annabeth looked up, still shaken up. "I tried to tell Percy before but we had this fight and I think it has something to do with him but…I don't know."

I exhaled slowly, gently taking Annabeth's hand. "Just tell me what you know. Okay?"

Annabeth wiped her tears away and smiled. "So we were on a plane-to come get you-and I started to see this key…"

Frank Pov-

"Hi." I said, sitting next to Hazel.

"Hey, aren't you supposed to be in archery class?" She asked, looking around the creek area.

"Chiron said I could take off. What are you looking for?"

"Huh?" Hazel asked, looking past my shoulder. "Oh, not what, who. Leo and I."

Of course. Leo Valdez, the fire and fix-it-Felix demigod.

"Oh," I murmured, my voice filled with bitterness. "What's so great about this guy anyway?"

Hazel's hair whipped around faster than a hurricane. "Frank, he's my friend."

"And so was I."

"What's that's supposed to mean?

"I mean I used to be the one who came to with your problems now I feel like you're avoiding me and running off with flame boy." My tone became cold and harsh.

"Frank." Hazel said, her gold eyes reflecting in mine. "You're not jealous, are you?"

I looked down, dreading her answer. "I am not jealous, Hazel." I gulped. "U-unless there's a reason for me to be. You two aren't together, right?"

"Umm…." Her voice trailed off, smiling as she looked over her shoulder. "Leo's here. We'll talk later, kay?"

Suddenly the blood rushed to my head and I was furious. I yanked down on Hazel's hands as she began to stand up and wrenched her down. I heard a loud pop and I knew I had broken one of her bones.

"Sit. Down." I growled in her ear.

The daughter of Pluto screamed, clutching her right hand. "You're sick, Frank! What's gotten into you! I don't even know who you are anymore."

"Is there a problem here?" Hazel's perfect boyfriend ran over to us, his eyes staring into steely.

"I was just leaving," I said curtly, getting up. After getting a few yards away, I saw Leo examining Hazel's hand. "Oh and Leo? Have fun fixing your tool."

3rd Person Pov-

Gaea sighed, turning off the projected that had just shown the titan's new soap opera, Camp Half-Blood.

"Tsk, tsk. Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance." Gaea turned the battered teenager.

His head lolled back as he smiled, blood dripping to his chin. "Buddha?"

The titan frowned. "Well, that daughter of Athena taught you nothing."

Percy laughed, his tone unamused. "Maybe she would've taught me something if you hadn't kidnapped me."

"Oh please, Jackson." Gaea scoffed. "I am not the bad guy here. Have you forgotten about you beloved goddess, Hera, and how she wiped your memories and sent you away for months."

Although Gaea was just earth, Percy could feel her breath in his ear. "Or is that okay because they're the gods?"

Percy said nothing.

"Think about it, Perseus. It all started when stepped five feet near that wretched camp. And what happened then? You were accused of being a thief and you were thrown on a quest."

Percy still did not speak, he stared bluntly ahead, his arms hanging limp over his chains.

"And what have the gods ever done for you? Name one thing the gods haven't taken away from you?"

"My sanity," Percy rasped. "But I have you to thank for that, right?"

Gaea laughed coldly. "You just never know when to shut up, do you?"

"Not really."

"Do not fret, Jackson. You will know better soon." She whispered. "Guards!"

Immediately, a pair of giants arrived in the command room, awaiting their mothers' orders.

"Take him back to Tartarus and let Kronos deal with him. Tell him to do what he wants-spear him, hang him, crucify-but I want him back barely alive."

The two giants then began to unchain the boy, one slinging him over his shoulder.

"Oh goody," Percy laughed. "Another field trip to hell. I call shotgun."

The giants then proceeded out of the room, sending Percy the Underworld.

A/N-Wow. I actually think this is one of the best chapters I've written for this fic yet. So I need to get everybody going on the quest because this might be a really long story and I try to end a fic under thirty chapters so it doesn't drag on. Don't forget to take my improvement poll on my profile, it'll only take a few minutes and really help out. Please review, favorite, and follow! Bye!
