So hi! This is the real chapter, not just an author's note. I have been working on it for a while, so I hope you like it! Also, tell me who's Point of view you want the next chapters to be on. Also, it may seem like a dumb story line or plot, but I actually do know where I am going with this as crazy as it might seem. :) By the way sorry if this chapter is inaccurate or something, or if I get some monsters or their traits wrong, I'm not that good at it so just go along with it, ok? Also sorry about any mistakes...
To answer an anonymous person's review: Oops I'll edit that part… and my mistake, sorry :(

Piper's POV:
We were having a great time until the gorgons attacked. Even after that, nobody's spirits were dampened. We kept laughing and joking around, almost like a family. We never expected what would happen that day.
Everyone was laughing and having fun, and suddenly I heard a noise almost like a splash. (They are going across the ocean, even though it doesn't make much sense…)
I froze, and said, "Hey guys… Did you hear that?"
Leo laughed at me and said, "Piper, stop being so paranoid! Just chill-" and he was interrupted by a huge splash, and an enormous swirling tornado came out of the ocean, causing everyone to draw their weapons on instinct. After a second, the front of the tornado cleared, and revealed someone we would have never guessed to see.
"Watch out. If you are not careful, terrible things will happen," the unexpected visitor warned, causing everyone to stare in shock.
Percy said cautiously, "Dad? What do you mean?" Poseidon shook his head and disappeared into the ocean, along with his water tornado.
"Weird, the sea god warns us about our fate? That just isn't right," Leo said, a hint of nervousness in his voice. Everyone sat down on a chair on the deck quietly, thinking about what could happen on their crazy voyage. The sun went down, everyone had dinner, and we all went to sleep in our cabins.
In the middle of the night, there was a crash that woke everyone up, followed by a yell. Everyone ran out to the deck, and quickly retreated. There was a huge storm with buckets of rain pouring down, and the waves were knocking the boat back and forth like some kind of game. Everyone grabbed any sturdy post or anything we could grasp. The clouds were dark and stormy, which was strange because in the evening the sky was completely clear. I exchanged a worried glance with Jason and Leo. Out of the clouds some creatures started hovering down. They looked like clouds kind of, and they were making chattering and clicking noises. Those strange creatures were led by no other than…
"Fleecy, what are you doing?" Percy and Frank exclaimed simultaneously. (Fleecy was working with Iris, the rainbow goddess in the Son of Neptune) Fleecy became fully human and landed on the deck, and her eyes were furious.
She looked crazy as she said, "I got no respect at R.O.F.L. My kind came and rescued me, while Gaea offered me great rewards to capture at least one of the seven. I shall never be treated badly again!"
The clouds swirled, and all of the cloud nymphs said together, so it sounded like an echo, "Surrender now or be in pain. You have no chance in our territory. Surrender if you know what's good for you!" By then, the seven already had their spears out, and got ready to fight. In an instant, all the cloud nymphs attacked, holding weapons.
They flew straight at them, and a battle raged. Frank turned into a seagull to peck at them, and be able to fly, but Leo's fire was useless in the rain. It didn't help that the boat was being rocked back and forth by the waves, and everyone was getting tired and outnumbered. I suddenly felt a sharp prodding on my back, and I gasped.
One of the cloud nymphs screamed out, "Surrender, or the girl gets it!" It grasped me tightly, and I shivered in the cold air. I realized that if I, or any of us stayed out any longer, we could get very sick. Annabeth was the first to drop her weapon, and everyone followed her example unwillingly. They all glared at the nymphs that were grabbing them, and suddenly a huge wave came over the ship, drenching everyone. While the wave was hovering right above us, about to crash down, everyone fought back, and after everyone was drenched, Percy pushed the water out of the ship with his powers, though draining his energy. He grasped his head like he was in pain, and crouched down for a second before getting up and trying to fight.
The cold was unbearable, and I could barely fight. My thoughts were interrupted by a yell. I turned to see blood all over the floor, with Frank lying there, a slash on his arm. I realized that one of the cloud nymphs must have cut Frank's wing while he was a bird, and now he was in a critical state.
Fleecy cackled, "I think our job here is done. Everyone will be in a terrible state from the cold, and it is unlikely that this one will live from loss of blood." The nymphs retreated into the clouds, while everyone ran to check on Frank. Percy and Jason went and got a stretcher, and we rolled him onto it and brought him to the ship's hospital, which we had hoped we would never use. We put him on a bed, and for the first time we could clearly examine the cut. It was painful to look at, deep with blood everywhere. The cut was on his left forearm, just above the elbow. Annabeth sprang into action, layering on some Greek and Roman medicine, and giving him nectar and ambrosia. She wrapped up his wound, and by then he was fast asleep. I was still shivering, in only my pajama shorts and a T-shirt. It felt very cold, like ice shards were stinging every point on my body. I started shaking, and everyone quickly laid me on one of the other hospital beds, and gave me lots of blankets and nectar. I started to feel a bit better, and the last thing I remember before falling asleep was Hazel sitting next to Frank's bed, Leo frowning at her, Jason sitting by me, and feeling very cold.
So what do you think? This is not particularly my favorite chapter, and don't worry, there will be more talking and emotions in the next chapter. Who's POV should it be in? Sorry for any mistakes in this chapter… Please please please PLEASE review, it would make my day! :)
