I slowly turned around. Pasiphae appeared in front of the doorway. With a flick of her hand a door appeared, and slammed shut, locking us inside. Frank squeezed my hand, and I stepped forward. "Pasiphae, we require your assistance." I told her. Pasiphae cackled. "What make you think I will help, foolish girl." She sneered. I ignored the jibe and continued. "Our camp is in danger. The giants have taken it over. The only weapon that will defeat them is in your Labyrinth." "What would that be?" Pasiphae asked, suddenly looking curious. "The scythe of Kronos." I said. The room seemed to drop 20 degrees when I said it. Pasiphae looked shocked. "How do you know that it the scythe is in the Labyrinth?" she asked. "Athena came to Percy. She told him of the scythe, and how it is in the Labyrinth." Annabeth spoke up. Pasiphae looked us over, like she wanted to figure out the most painful way to kill us. "I will help you on one condition." She finally said. "What would that be?" I asked. She smiled cruelly. Before she could say anything, the door that she made appear on the entrance was blasted off of its hinges.
Thalia and Nico stepped into the room. Thalia was armed with her bow and arrow, and Nico was armed with his Stygian Iron sword. Pasiphae looked shocked. All of the Big Three's children were standing in front of her. I knew she was thinking of an escape plan. "About that condition?" I asked her. "You will need to defeat me, and alas that is impossible." Pasiphae said in a cool voice. I looked at the others. Frank looked at me and gave an encouraging nod. I gulped. "Deal." I said weakly. Pasiphae gave me a wicked grin. "You think you can defeat me again! You had Hecate helping you! She is no longer here you foolish girl!" she hissed at me. I thought a heard her voice quiver when she said it. Please Hecate, help me! I prayed to her. I looked at Pasiphae and I knew a plan. "Stand back guys!" I said. Pasiphae looked bewildered. I concentrated on all of the riches beneath me. I felt a hum of energy. I screamed, and thousands of jewels flew at Pasiphae, burying her.
Pasiphae dug her way out. She looked at me with pure loathing. "My turn." She hissed. She raised her hands, and black mist poured from her. She pointing her finger at me, and all of the mist slammed into me. I saw my worst nightmares come to life. I saw Frank dying, Camp Jupiter being destroyed, and worst of all I saw my mother's last moments. I screamed, and the mist slammed into the walls. Pasiphae looked at me with amazement. I smirked. Her amazement turned into an evil grin. She looked at Frank, and summoned more black mist. It swirled around Frank. I just about collapsed in horror. Instead, I began to think. I called some white mist. I shot it toward Frank. The black mist evaporated when it came in contact with the white mist. Frank collapsed on the ground. I scrambled over to him. I sighed with relief when I heard him breathing. I made the white mist swirl around everyone for protection. I unsheathed my spartus, and slammed into her with so much force, that she fell, with me on top of her. I held my sword at her throat. "Are you done yet?" I whispered to her. She spat in my face, but I didn't back down. I pushed my sword a bit deeper into her neck. She looked at me with pure loathing. "Use the Fleece. It will point the way." And with that, she disappeared from under me.
"She is a coward!" Thalia said, as she put away her bow. Annabeth ran to Thalia, and gave her a bear hug. "What are you doing here!" she asked Thalia. Percy had told me about how Annabeth got to camp a few months ago. Thalia and her were like sisters. "Well, Artemis told me of your quest, and I wanted to come help. I met Nico on the way, and well…here we are!" Thalia told us. Nico put his sword away, and came over to me. "How are you?" he asked. "I've been better." I admitted. Nico smirked. "I bet." Then Percy came up to Nico. "Hey man, how are you?" he asked. "I'm okay." Nico told him. Percy grinned. "I hate to interrupt your little chat." Annabeth began, as she came toward us. "But, we need to get out of here." "Why so quickly?" Percy said, as he put his arm around her. She uncoiled herself from him. "We need to sneak into the camp to grab the Fleece!" she said. Annabeth looked at us with that fire in her eyes "Your right Annabeth, we should go." I said. Annabeth nodded. She turned away, and started toward the Argo II. Percy rolled his eyes, and followed her.
Frank, I thought. I spun around. He was still on the ground. I ran over to him. "Frank! Come on, wake up!" I told him. Tears were threatening to spill from my eyes. "Frank!" I screamed in his face. He still didn't move. Tears started rushing down my face. I covered my face in my hands, and cried. "You didn't think I would leave you that easily, did you?" A voice said. I looked down at Frank. He was smirking. I tackled him with a hug. "Oh," he gasped. "Can't breathe!" "Sorry!" I said, as I let go of him. I helped him to his feet. I made him lean on me for support. He was still woozy from the mist. I turned to Nico and Thalia. "Would you guys want to come with us?" I asked hopefully. Thalia looked at Nico. "We wouldn't miss it." She said. With that, we exited the Parthenon.
What will they do now? Comment please!
