Chapter 14
No-one spoke until they had parked the car out the front of the Empire State Building. "Hey Annabeth? You're probably going to need to change out of your pj's."
Annabeth's face went red. "Oh yeah. Of course," She ducked back inside the car and came out wearing a pair of jeans and an orange camp half-blood t-shirt. "Alright, let's go."
Jason tried one of the doors but the handle wouldn't budge. "Okay. Plan B."
Lachlan was confused. "What's plan B?"
Jason grinned. "The fun part." Jason wrapped his arms around Lachlan and Annabeth and they shot skywards.
Afterwards, Lachlan couldn't say that he was brave because most of the time he spent screaming his lungs out.
The tip of a giant mountain just appeared right above them and Jason soared towards it, his forehead soaked with sweat. Over the wind, Lachlan shouted," why is there a floating mountain above us?" but he had no idea if anyone had head him.
They flew up alongside the mountaintop and Lachlan saw that the whole thing was dotted with palaces and gardens.
Jason set them down on a marble pathway winding all the way up to a gold and marble palace on the summit. Lachlan spun in a circle. "Wow. This place is cool."
"It reminds me of Greece," Jason and Annabeth said together.
"You guys have been to Greece?!" Lachlan asked.
"Yeah," Annabeth said.
"Fought some Giants and stuff", Jason said.
"Saved the world", they both said together.
Lachlan let out a long whistle. "Hopefully I never have a responsibility like that."
"Me and Percy are planning on going again soon. To go to all those places, we would've enjoyed unless we weren't battling monsters every step of the way." Annabeth had a dreamy look on her face as if imagining all the amazing places she would get to see again.
"Funny, Piper brang that up but I wasn't sure if you really wanted to know," Jason said.
Lachlan cleared his throat. "Guys. Focus. The whole camp is under some sort of sleep spell."
Annabeth looked at the ground. "Oh, right."
Something caught Lachlan's eye and he whipped around grabbing his bronze rod off his back. It morphed into a sword and Lachlan turned a full circle.
"Lachie, what is it?" Jason asked, looking around for himself.
"Guys, something's been…" Lachlan looked forward and there it was.
The silver wolf.
