Leo

Leo woke up from a nap and examined the control panels. Oh, Gods, He thought. Did I really just kiss Nico? He shook his head, and when he looked closer at the controls, he realized where they were. They were flying over the Sea of Monsters, or what regular people called the Bermuda Triangle. He brightened. Everything made sense now. He didn't like Nico; it was just the Sea of Monsters messing with his head. Weird things happened here. But he didn't love Nico; he didn't even like Nico. He had the hugest crush on Calypso, who wanted to marry him. And so what if she did? They'd have to wait a few years before Leo felt comfortable settling down, but Calypso wouldn't care; she loved him. Leo smiled. Everything could be normal.

Jason

Calypso and Jason stood alone in the room where everyone normally ate meals. The large breakfast table with chairs all around it occupied most of the room, with screens showing scenes from Camp Half Blood covering the walls. Jason wasn't sure why Calypso had called him in here, but he did know that he didn't trust her. Jason was generally a good reader of people, so he trusted his instincts against Calypso.

Calypso smiled sweetly. Jason could see why Leo was so into her; her hair beautifully framed her face and flowed over her shoulders and down her back. Her dress was loose and reminded Jason of whispy clouds floating across the sky when she moved. And to be honest, she was just overall hot. Still, Jason didn't find her attractive, if that makes any sense. He had Piper, and he didn't like the feeling he got around Calypso.

"Do you know why you're here?" Calypso asked. Jason shrugged. Calypso looked disappointed in him, as if he should know.

"What did I miss?" Asked Jason. Calypso shook her head.

"Jason, I'm disappointed. I thought you were good at recognizing monsters." Her voice dropped low on the word "monsters".

Jason tensed up and closed his fingers around his sword. Calypso smiled.

"Oh, that's cute," she almost sang. "You think you can use that puny little sword to fight a Minotaur!" Her voice became monstrous and low on the word "minotaur," and she grew until she was seven feet tall. Her body widened and she sprouted short, coarse-looking fur. Her face morphed into that of a bull's, and she was no longer wearing a beautiful dress, but bright, white Fruit of the Looms. She was a giant bull, and she was missing one horn.

"GUYS!" Jason yelled.

Jason stood across the table from the Minotaur, and the thing leaped onto the table and roared in his face. This was confusing. Wasn't the Minotaur supposed to have horrible sight and hearing?

There was no time to question things. There was only time to fight. Jason slashed at the monster's stomach, but the Minotaur disarmed him. He was helpless and cornered, and would've died if Piper and Frank hadn't run into the room.

"Hey, ugly!" Screamed Piper. "Get away from my boyfriend! He's taken, and way out of your leauge!" The Minotaur quickly turned around and jumped from the table onto Piper, but Frank turned into a rhino before they collided and the two began to fight like animals. They rolled onto the table, which split in two, and Frank tried to stab the Minotaur with his rhino horn. Though it bought Jason and Piper some time, it wasn't getting them anywhere, except for maybe out of that room. Jason and Piper bolted, and Frank noticed his friends leaving and fled too, turning back into a teenaged boy as he ran. The three of them stood on the deck in front of the room, just as the Minotaur burst out. Piper screamed and aimed her cornucopia at it, and Frank turned into an eagle and started clawing at its eyes. Jason kept it back with his sword, and Nico, Percy, Annabeth, Leo, and Hazel ran to join them. As soon as the creature saw Percy, it lost it. It put all of its weight into a forceful lunge at him, and it took all seven of his friends to hold him back, plus Coach Hedge, who was wildly swinging a baseball bat. Percy pulled out riptide and was about to swing, when Hazel leaped in front of him and pulled out a sword of her own. "I wouldn't do that, Jackson."

Amazingly, the Minotaur stood behind her and didn't attack her.

"I'm sorry, Percy," Hazel said as she drew her weapon.

Then she swung at Percy and the two demigods began to fight, and their friends stood there dumbfounded but then shook off the shock and fought back against Hazel and the Minotaur in the swirling confusion of betrayal.
