XIII
Frank
I never thought of Leo as brave. This completely changed my perspective of him. He was taking on Polybotes with a hammer. Alone. Hazel nudged me, and I snapped out of my trance. We charged in to help Leo. I changed into the biggest thing I could think of, an elephant. I roared, which came out as at trumpet, and charged Polybotes, knocking him to the ground. "Frank! Remember we are only causing a distraction! We can't beat them without Krono's Scythe!" Hazel yelled to me. I nodded, and turned back into myself. I whispered in Leo's ear. "Knock him to the ground, and then we need to leave." Leo nodded, and fire erupted from him hitting Polybotes straight in the chest. Polybotes flew backward, and hit a tree. He fell to the ground moaning, and cursing. Leo grinned, and grabbed my arm. We ran across the sword fighting arena, and I grabbed Hazel's hand on the way. Annabeth was dragging Percy to the Argo II. I stopped to help her. Once we were all aboard the ship with the Golden Fleece in hand, Leo raced to the control panel to start it up. I looked back at the camp. The giants were coming, and they weren't happy. "Leo! Take off! Take off!" Annabeth screeched. Leo took the throttle and yanked it up. We shot straight up into the sky, almost throwing me off the ship.
I made sure Hazel was okay, and walked over to Annabeth, who was slapping Percy's face, begging him to wake up."Annabeth"? Can I do anything?" I asked her. She turned to me; her eyes were puffy from crying. "If you can somehow get him to wake up." She said. "My grandmother taught me first aid." I admitted. I sat down, and examined Percy. His breathing was labored, and his heartbeat was getting slower by the moment. "Okay, Annabeth, you need to keep talking to him. If he stops breathing, I might have to do something that looks sick." I said. She nodded and started talking to Percy. I checked his pulse, and sure enough it was getting stronger. I smiled at Annabeth, and nodded. She broke into a grin, and kept talking to him. A couple minutes later, he was awake, and talking to Annabeth. She thanked me, and I left.
Hazel was in her room, staring at the wall. "Can I come in?" I asked. Hazel nodded, but didn't look at me. I walked over to her and sat down. I skittishly put my arm around her. "What's up?" I asked. She didn't look at me, but replied. "I just keep thinking about the prophecy. I couldn't bear to see Annabeth lose Percy. The prophecy basically says he will die." "Hazel, I overheard Annabeth, and Leo talking. Percy was dead for an hour, while we were sleeping in our cabins." I said softly. Hazel stared at me in horror. "My point is, I think that part of the prophecy is over. Let's just focus on getting the scythe." I said. Hazel nodded, and started to stare at the wall again. "Hazel look at me!" I commanded. She turned toward me, and said, "What?". I grabbed her shoulders. "We will get through this prophecy okay?" She met my eyes, and hugged me. Everything seemed sharper. I don't know how long we sat there, but I knew I wouldn't be the first to let go.
"Meeting in the dining area!" I heard Annabeth say over the intercom. I broke away from Hazel, and we walked down to the dining area. When we entered, I knew that something was wrong. The group looked deep in thought. "What's up?" I asked, breaking them of their thought. "Well, we aren't sure how to use the Golden Fleece. We need everyone thinking of ways it might show us where the Labyrinth is." Percy informed us. Annabeth shot straight up. "I got it!" she said. We all have to hold it, and imagine the Labyrinth!" "You're a genius Annabeth!" Percy exclaimed, kissing her. Sighs filled the room, and I smirked. They broke apart, blushing beet red. "I'll go grab the Fleece!" Leo said. He looked like he wanted to find a way to escape the room. Annabeth nodded; looking thankful he changed the subject. I just about laughed. Leo scurried out of the room, and we all broke down laughing.
Leo came back a few minutes later, holding the Fleece. "Okay everyone, gather around!" he said, holding the Fleece out. We all put our hands on it, closed our eyes, and imagined the Labyrinth. When I opened my eyes, the Fleece was glowing a fierce red. I gasped, and pointed, as it started drawing a map on the surface. "It's incredible!" Annabeth said when the light died. I nodded, and looked at it. "Look! There is an entrance in the Sea of Monsters!" Percy exclaimed. "I guess we know where to go now." I said, with a grin on my face. Annabeth went deathly pale. "Percy, isn't that where Polysemous lived?"
