Percy POV

Annabeth and Percy were lying on the beach completely exhausted. They were fast asleep. Percy was awakened by the touch of the cool ocean in their thighs. Percy sat up and saw that the ocean' tide has risen a lot since sunrise. He woke up Annabeth. Her eyes fluttered open revealing her thoughtful, deep grey eyes. She jerked straight up and looked at Percy.

"How long have we been out." Annabeth asked looked at the ocean. She must have noticed the tide as well.

"A couple hours at least." Percy admitted. Percy got up and brushed off his sandy jeans and camp shirt. He stuck out his hand for Annabeth. She took it and cleaned of her clothes as well. "You look beautiful." Percy said. His sea green eyes looked loving and trusting. Annabeth couldn't help but smile. She grabbed a hair tie from her wrist and slung her hair into a messy bun.

"We should probably find the others. We need to get going." Annabeth said. Percy nodded. They ran together into the center of the cabin semicircle. "I'll get Hazel and Piper. You get Jason, Leo, and Frank." Percy nodded and ran. He first entered the Hephaestus cabin. He saw Leo and froze. That was Beckendorf's bed. Percy looked at it for a moment and a chill went down his spine. He thought of the time when he and Charles were on the Princess Andromeda. He had killed himself to save the world. Then Percy snapped back to reality and shook Leo. He didn't want to wake the others but Leo kept grunting. Finally Leo shot up and looked at Percy. Percy signaled to the door and Leo nodded. They both quietly left the cabin.

"I'll go get Jason. You get Frank." Percy instructed. Leo nodded and they ran to the different cabins. Percy barged through the door to find Jason fast asleep in his bed. Percy ran and shook Jason. Jason's hair started to stand up. Percy stepped back, and Jason's hair fell back to normal. Percy shook him again, but this time he got a shock that went through his body. Percy was beginning to get annoyed. "Hey Jason get up!" Percy yelled. "Jason!" Jason didn't move. Percy grunted and saw a small bottle of water under his bed. Percy grinned maliciously. Percy bent and grabbed the water bottle. He uncapped it and drenched Jason with it. Instantly Jason shot up and opened his eyes.

"Dude, what the-" Jason was cut off by Percy's look. "I did it again didn't I?" One time at Camp Jupiter Percy tried to wake Jason up and the same thing happened. Percy nodded. Jason sighed. "Dammit."

"You could hate on yourself later. We need to get going." Percy said. He ran out the door and Jason trailed behind him.

"Where?" Jason asked.

"Rome!" Percy exclaimed. He was still a little ticked off from the shock Jason gave him. "We need to leave soon. I have a feeling time isn't on our side." Percy admitted. They both quickly ran to the ship to find everyone waiting there.

"What happened?" Annabeth asked. "Why did it take so long?" Percy looked at Jason.

"Technical difficulties." He and Jason gave a small laugh. Everyone else looked at them confused. "Anyway…" Percy said trying to change the subject. "When are we leaving?"

"As soon as Chiron gives us the all clear." Annabeth replied. "He just wants to make sure there aren't any stray campers in a fifty feet radius to the ship. Percy nodded. He didn't know what half those words meant but he figured it was important.

"So are we actually sailing to Rome?" Hazel asked. Annabeth nodded.

"We are going to follow the path of the other heroes. We are going to fly to the edge of Long Island, and sail through the North Atlantic Ocean to Rome. A pretty straight forward route. Percy, you and Leo will take shifts sailing."

"Uhhh Annabeth." Leo started. "About that… If I sail I will run us into an iceberg." Leo admitted. Annabeth shot him a stern look. "But I doubt if there will be any icebergs the route we're sailing." Leo said trying to please Annabeth. She gave a satisfied look.

"But don't you thing we might encounter more monsters in the sea than in the air?" Frank asked.

"I'm pretty sure we will come across about the same amount either way." Annabeth said.

"Also it would be pretty nice to have Khione out of our hair." Leo confessed.

"Agreed." Piper grunted to herself. She had her hand on where the ice dagger hit her. She was standing next to Annabeth. Then Percy heard the sound of galloping hooves behind him. Percy turned around to find Chiron heading toward the group. Jason automatically stiffened. He must still be annoyed about not mentioning the giant.

"The area is all clear." Chiron announced.

"Thanks Chiron." Annabeth said gratefully. "Let's get going." They all climbed aboard and Leo gripped the steering wheel. "All set Leo?" Annabeth asked.

"Yep! Ready for take-off!" Percy took a deep breath and smiled. He took a look at his home. He wondered if this would be that last time he saw this place.

"Let's do this!" Percy exclaimed. A cheer went through the ship. All the campers were standing outside their cabins. Percy felt a sharp jerk and the ship began to rise. A cheer went through the crowd of half-bloods. They were waving goodbye to all their friends on the ship. Percy's green eyes were still glancing at the camp. He couldn't believe he forgot all of this.

"Percy?" A small voice asked. Percy turned to find Hazel behind him. She walked to him. And planted her feet nest to him by the railing. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Just hard to believe I forgot all of this." Hazel nodded. They both stared at the camp until it was out of sight. Then they soared to Percy's true home; the ocean.
