Hey! So I was a little disappointed on reviews :(

But, just cause I'm nice, I'm gonna post anyway! Yay for you guys! Ok, I have to say this: Percy was in big trouble when we left off! Hehe

Um, ok so I got the laptop and it's exactly 2:13 pm so yay!

Here's chapter 12!

PS- I was listening to Raise Your Glass by Pink when I wrote this :)

Haha,

So raise your glass if you are wrong,
In all the right ways,
All my underdogs,
We will never be never be anything but loud
And nitty gritty dirty little freaks
Won't you come on and come on and raise your glass,
Just come on and come on and raise your glass

Slam slam, oh hot damn…

LOL, that's my favorite line! Slam, slam, oh hot damn!

Ok, I'm done…

Hehe, now I'm listening to I will not Die by Three Days Grace! YAY!

Ok, I'm done. Pinky swear. (To me, that's more serious than the River Styx!)

Disclaimer: I don't own PJO, yadda yadda yadda,

Nate: Hey!

Me: What?

Nate: You can't just say "yadda, yadda, ya—" *gets hit with trophy I stole from my sister*

Me: YAY! The mean man is bleeding!

Annabeth's POV:

Percy's getting worse.

His fever has spiked to 103 and yet he still shivers. We've tried everything. Ambrosia, nectar, salt water, Apollo kids; I even dumped him in the ocean for 10 minutes! Nothing helps.

I sigh and slump back into the chair next to his bed. His face is as white as his sweat-soaked sheets and his face is scrunched up in pain. He's burning up, but shivers even with 3 blankets on him. He mumbles something in his sleep and coughs.

I close my eyes. "Come on, Mori, hurry up," I whisper. "Please,"


Mori's POV

The first time the train stopped, we hid behind some crates. The second time it stopped, we were going to again, but they got unloaded. This is the third time and I voted us to get off. We hop off one at a time. Chase, Carrie, Stella; Nico jumps down and catches me as I do.

I ask Carrie, "Where are we now?"

She sighs and says, "We only just entered Colorado,"

I nod. Nico says, "Why don't we just travel?"

I look up at him, confused. Then I remember the day Chase brought us to camp. "That's…actually a good idea," Carrie says.

I take a deep breath. "Stella can you light travel yet?"

She nods proudly. "Zena taught me before we left,"

I smile slightly. "Ok, Chase, take Carrie and root-travel, Stella, you light travel, and Nico and I can shadow travel. We should go very far…" I snap my fingers. "I used to live with my parents in Montrose!"

Nico cocks his head. "Montrose? What the Hades is that?"

I roll my eyes. "Montrose, Colorado. Just go there. Chase grabs Carrie and they dissolve into a random bush. Stella finds a light and with a flash, is gone. Nico takes me over to a shadow and says, "Close your eyes," I do. He kisses me on the forehead.

Suddenly, it feels as though I'm running. My hair whips behind me, but I keep my eyes shut. My feet find solid ground and Nico and I fall over with an "oof".

"Nico! Get off of me!" I say. He mumbles a sorry and rolls off. I stand up, brushing dirt off me. I stand up and learn we're outside my old house, on South Uncompahgre Avenue. My house is just up the road…

I look at Nico. "How did you know to come here?" I ask.

He shrugs. "I saw a picture on your dresser of this place."

I nod. I help Nico stand up and we start to find the others.

"Mori!" I turn around to see Chase, Stella, and Carrie running to us and sigh in relief. They catch up to us and I say, "Come on, there's a hotel up ahead."


We end up renting one, two-bed room. Nico and Chase immediately start to argue over who gets a bed. I hold my head in pain. Stella screams, "Shut up!" She rushes over to me and makes me sit on the bed while she changes my blood-soaked bandages.

Nico and Chase get looks of guilt and Chase offers to sleep on the floor. Carrie and Stella get one bed and I get one to myself.

That night, after I'm positive everyone's asleep; I quietly shoot out of bed and crawl over to where Nico's sleeping on the floor. I shake him awake. He sees me and sits up. "What's wrong?" He whispers, worried. I put a finger to my lips and help him up. I drag hi, over to my bed and we both get under the covers. He smiles and wraps his arms around me. I fall asleep with a smile on my face.


"What. The. Fudge." Ok, so Carrie didn't say fudge, but I decided to stay at least PG on that word. I open my eyes to see Carrie and Stella, wide awake, staring at Nico and I in shock. I smile. "Well, good morning to you too, Ms. Sunshine." I gingerly slip out of Nico's arms. (He's still asleep)

"What the Hades were you doing?" Carrie asks me.

I roll my eyes. "If you're insinuating we had sex, then maybe you should double-check on who your mom is,"

Her eyes slant. "Why was he sleeping with you?"

I shrug. "The floor's un-comfy?"

Stella growls at Nico.

I laugh, waking up Chase and Nico. Chase gapes at him in my bed as I plop down next to Nico.

I sigh. "Boys, go change in the bathroom," They nod and rush into the bathroom, whispering to each other.

I strip my shorts and tank top, putting on black jean shorts, my "A stranger stabs you in the front; a friend stabs you in the back; a boyfriend stabs you in the heart, but best friends only poke each other with straws," t-shirt. On the back, it has a picture of two stick-people. One is poking the other one with a straw. It's so cute!

Slipping into my Converse.

The boys come out in the same clothes as yesterday and I give them a 'Really?' look. They just shrug.

Carrie's wearing jean shorts and a pink Hollister shirt, along with her tennis-shoes. Stella has on jean shorts, a yellow shirt that says, "I live for sun," in black letters, and green Converse. They both have their blonde hair in buns, while my black hair is in a braid.

"Les go!" I say, walking out the door.

I promptly ignore all of the girls' disapproving looks.

I also have to wear a hat to hide my bandages. Walking out the door, we greet Colorado and hopefully, no monsters.

Can't my prayers ever be answered?
