We saw Gwen and Nathan fighting each other like a cat and dog would. I tried to look at their eyes to see if they had a golden flash, but I saw nothing of the sort.

"We gotta do something or they'll kill each other!" Piper exclaimed.

"But what?" I asked.

Soon they were both disarmed. Hazel held Gwen's gladius in her left hand and Nathan's sword in her right while she was in Frank's arms. The look on her face was not very happy.

Then she asked, "What in the name of my father is going on here?!"

"Ah, Hazel, you're finally awake!" Frank exclaimed happily.

"Camp Jupiter?" she asked. "I don't remember transporting us here."

"You didn't. We went here shortly after we got back to Camp Half-Blood." Jason answered.

We told Hazel about Reyna's condition and Percy's promise to Camp Jupiter.

"So we're basically in a gridlock situation." she concluded.

"Pretty much." Percy stated. "Reyna's dying, nobody trusts the augur, and we still don't know who stole the Golden Fleece or who mind-controlled Athena."

"Was she really even mind controlled?" Leo asked.

"Well there's no way she could be possessed by an eidolon or any other spirit for that matter." I said.

"So many questions..." Calypso said, before coughing. "Without any answers..." She coughed again.

"Are you okay?" Gwen asked.

"I'm fine..." she said, before coughing again.

"She probably just has a cold or something from the wound infection back when we were in Russia a few hours ago." Leo said.

"Now what do we do?" Hazel asked.

"Well, I don't know about you guys, but I'm so hungry I could eat a horse." Frank answered. "And what time it is anyway?"

"It's 1:35. For those of you from Camp Half-Blood, that's 4:35 with the three hour time shift." Gwen answered.

"4:35 back home. Six hours to get here. Oh boy, that means we were searching for Khione..." Percy started.

"For three hours in a barren tundra." I finished.

Piper groaned. "We haven't eaten anything since then." she said.

"You haven't, but I've been munching on various snacks on the ride over here." I corrected.

"You're prepared for anything, aren't you?" she asked.

"You could say that." I said.

Hazel gave back Gwen's gladius and Nathan's sword. "Now try not to kill each other." she said as Frank set her down.

The six of us went down to the mess hall and ate lunch. Leo took Calypso to the infirmary to treat Calypso's cold. Nathan went back to the Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus to continue his divination rituals. As I ate, I thought about my pregnancy and the risks I was taking. It had been only three days since I discovered it, and was already doing stupid things. I shouldn't have been battling Khione in this condition, but at the same time, I didn't want to be a sitting duck. I mentally sighed. I always hated feeling helpless. I wanted to cry but I didn't want anyone to see me like this. Gwen didn't even know of all this.

"So where exactly is Dakota living now?" Frank asked Gwen.

"If I could tell you I would." she answered.

"All we know is that he's in Sacramento." Jason said.

"The quickest driving route would get us there in about an hour and a half." I said.

"But would Dakota really corrupt Athena or steal the Golden Fleece?" Gwen asked.

"We don't know." Percy answered.

"All of our suspects are possible but unlikely for one or more reasons." Hazel pointed out.

"Really? And how is it so?" Gwen asked.

"For instance, we thought Khione may have been responsible for Athena's corruption because she closed down Mount Olympus and turned Aelous against me and my friends on our quest to save Hera. Yet Peleus wasn't frozen, and Leo questioned what she would want with the Golden Fleece." Jason answered.

"It seems like you wanted to blame her for two crimes." Gwen stated.

"Annabeth believes that they're the same person, but, I'm actually beginning to doubt her." Frank said.

"We're running out of leads..." I said.

Leo entered the mess hall and grabbed two slices of pizza.

"So what did I miss?" Leo asked.

"We were just telling Gwen about the former and current suspects on our list." I answered.

"So is Calypso alright?" Frank asked.

"Yeah, she's fine." Leo quickly said, before taking another bite of pizza.

"Leo..." I said.

"What's going on?" Piper asked.

"I don't wanna talk about it." he answered.

"What's wrong? You seem worried." Hazel said.

"Calypso... is terribly sick. There's no way she can continue traveling with us." Leo answered.

"Why, what's wrong?" I asked.

"She has..." Leo began.

"Stay away from us, you monster!" Nathan shouted from a distance. "You are a lair!"

"Oh no..." Leo muttered.

We all ran outside to the mess hall. Nathan was wearing plastic gloves and threw Calypso onto the ground.

"Nathan, what are you doing?!" Gwen asked.

"This girl is a liar. She claimed herself as a daughter of Ceres, but she is just a mere mortal!" Nathan answered.

"I know mortals aren't allowed here, but you have to help me. Please." Calypso pleaded.

"Why should I help you?" he asked.

"If it makes you feel any different, I was formerly a Titaness before I gave up my powers." she answered.

"Wait, you're Calypso, as in, the daughter of Tethys and Altas?! You don't deserve our help, you deserve death!" Nathan exclaimed.

He unsheathed his sword and ran towards her. Leo threw a beam of fire at him. Nathan's clothes were singed and his pants burned, exposing his knees.

"You stay away from her!" Leo screamed. He ran in front of Calypso.

"I couldn't stay too close to her. She's contagious." Nathan warned.

"With what?!" Percy asked.

Calypso coughed several times in a row. Then she coughed up blood.

"Tuberculosis." I answered.

Gwen unsheathed her dagger and ran at Nathan, yelling, "You monster! This is all your fault!"

The two were fighting once again. Gwen stabbed Nathan in the arm, giving him a deep cut.

"I'm surprised that you're doing all this." Nathan said.

He dodged her every move.

"Why would I not fight against you?!" Gwen asked.

Gwen kicked him down. I wanted to stop this feud, but I didn't know how.

"Aren't you supposed to be recovering from that personal tragedy?" he asked, getting up from the ground.

"What are you talking about?" she asked, trying to strike at him.

"Don't dodge the question." Nathan said. "I know that less than a week ago, you suffered a miscarriage."

Gwen gasped and dropped her weapon. She froze in her tracks as her blood turned cold. Then Nathan kicked her down. He raised his sword.

"Stop!" Calypso muttered. "I get the point." She coughed again. "I'm not wanted here. You don't have to kill Gwen because of it!"

"But where will you go?" Gwen asked.

"To Sacramento." she answered, standing up. "I'll go after Dakota. I'll find him and get the truth from him one way or another."

We all gasped. "Calypso, are you crazy?! You need help!" Leo exclaimed.

"They won't give me any help." Calypso said. "So why do I even try? Just give me a car and some keys and I'll get out of your hair."

Nathan handed her a set of keys. "Good luck finding the car it goes with." he said.

Calypso slapped him and walked away. Leo fell to his knees and started crying. Nathan walked away, most likely to cleanse himself of traces of Calypso's sickness. I walked up to Gwen and helped her up.

"Are you okay?" I asked her.

"I don't understand. How did he know?" she asked. "I still don't even understand how it happened, or why..."

I mentally shrugged. I wish I knew how to comfort her.

"Great. Just great. Calypso's gone off on her own, Gwen and Nathan really hate each other, and the latter is the augur, who is a big fat jerk." Jason sarcastically remarked. "Now what?"

"I have a plan." I answered. "While Calypso tracks down Dakota, I'll go after Pollux. I'll be using a hellhound to find him, and I'll interrogate him."

"But what if you get hurt?" Percy asked.

"I'll be fine." I said.

"I don't want you just going off on your own." Percy said.

"Okay. I'll take two others with me." I said. "Percy will join me, yes?" He nodded. "That leaves Frank to run Camp Jupiter, and I imagine that Hazel would want to stay here, so who's going to be the third person to join us?"

"I'm not going anywhere." Leo said.

Piper looked at Jason. "Rock, paper scissors? Loser must go?" she asked.

"Sure. I never lose." Jason answered.

"Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!" they said in unison.

Piper formed scissors while Jason formed paper.

"Scissors cuts paper." Piper said. "I win."

"Well, I stand corrected." Jason said.

Piper kissed him on the cheek. "Goodbye and good luck, mon petit ami." she said.

"Thanks." he said.

We packed up our supplies and left Camp Jupiter for the woods.
