Chapter 5: Ginny gets a new pet.

Hazel's P.O.V.

Everyone else went back to their cabins, but I went down to check on Piper, besides Nico and Luna, Piper had been the nicest to me, she doesn't keep asking where I came from or about my mortal parent, like Annabeth or ask me how Nico found me like Percy, or ignore me like Jason, Leo is well Leo, he hasn't been talking to anyone much lately so I don't know if it was just me. Hermione was nice, but tend to stick closer to Annabeth then to anyone else, I liked Ginny, but Jason was all she has on her mind, and Ron, I like Ron a lot, earlier when everyone else left the ship, he stayed with me in my cabin, and to keep us from getting bored he found this chess board and started teaching me to play chess, though it took him a while and a lot of yelling at the pieces before he realized muggle chess pieces don't move on their own. It was kinda funny, but anyway, I had liked him for a while now, and when me and him was alone together I was nervous and jewels kept popping up all over the place. So I had to explain to him about the curse. Ron thought being able to summon jewels and metals would be cool, in till I told them they where all cursed. Now I'm afraid he no longer likes me, I saw the way he acted toward my plate in the dinning hall, like if he even looked at them he would drop dead. I just hope nobody else acts that way when they find out.

I made it to Piper's room and knocked on the door. I didn't hear anything, from the other side, so I opened the door a little and peeped in, Piper was laying on her side crying, as she looked at a pinkish-peach rose that sat in a vase on her bedside table next to a picture. Marauder was next to her, he had an arm around her waist and his head laying on her hip. I couldn't see how she could stand to be so close to such a vicious animal. I know he was Harry's pet or something, but it was a lion, an animal that was known to tear other animals apart, and I'm sure humans were included in there somewhere. It scared me when those large golden eyes looked at me. When ever Piper got real close to him, I imagined him turning on her and tearing her apart or biting her head off.

When I walked into the room, Marauder looked up at me and I felt chills go down my spin. Piper sensed someone came into her room and looked up too. She smiled a little, at how I had paused at Marauder's stare and patted the lion on the head, it raised up off her and laid down on the other side of the bed, Piper raised up and wiped her eyes.

"Was there something you needed?" Piper asked. I decided to act braver and walk on into the room.

"I just wanted to see how you were doing." I said. "You took us having to stop pretty hard, and I'm sorry to leave when I know you need all the help you can get to save... save Harry, but I really think I can help Ginny and Jason. And I swear, we'll try our hardest to make it to Harry on time I don't... I don't know if we'll make it back to you guys before then, but I promise I.. we'll try our hardest to make it in time to help save Harry." I bounced from foot to foot nervously, hoping a jewel didn't suddenly pop up from somewhere. I think that was the longest sentence I ever said to anyone.

"Thanks, Hazel." Piper said. "I know you will and I do hate having to stop or having to separate, but it has to be done, it's just so... so...why can't this quest ever be easy, I mean why couldn't we have just hopped aboard the ship and go straight to Harry without interruptions, no this had to happen or this goddess needs saved or this one." Piper wiped her eyes again. "They're immortal gods, why is it so hard for them not to get kidnapped." I smiled a little at that.

"Since Harmonia is the goddess of harmony, I don't see her as being much of a fighter." Hazel said. Piper nodded.

"What about Enyo?" Piper asked. "The women lives on carnage and bloodshed, you would think she could stop herself from being kidnapped."

"Maybe you can ask her when Harry saves her." I said. Piper smiled a little.

"Maybe." She said.

"Piper, I may not really know Harry." I said. "But I could tell I was going to like him, he's nice and I can see why you want to save him so much. I know he's a good person because Nico likes him a lot and Nico hardly likes anybody."

Piper laughed at that. "No, Nico doesn't seem to like anyone."

"I know he doesn't like Ron." I went on. "He told me so."

"Wouldn't have anything to do with a crush you have on him would it?" Piper asked. I could just feel my face turning red.

"How did you...I mean I don't." I stumbled. Piper laughed.

"I'm a daughter of Aphrodite, Hazel." Piper said. "I know these things."

"Do you think he...no don't tell me." I said. "I rather not know, it's not like I could... I don't know.. but we couldn't be together anyway."

"And whys that?" Piper asked. I shrugged, what was I suppose to do just come out and tell her I should be dead but Nico brought me back from the Underworld. After James Potter and Ignotus Peverell found me wandering around the Fields of Asphodel. I shuffled my feet again as Piper watched me. "You can tell me anything, you know that, and if you don't want anybody else to know I won't tell them. Unless of course it's Harry. I can't keep anything from him."

"I can understand that." I said. "But I don't think I can tell you. Nico said, we really shouldn't tell too many, we told Luna, and he was plainning on telling Harry, but that was it. Though Harry probably would have told you. I told Ron a little bit, but the biggest part I kept to myself."

Piper said nothing as she watch me again. Here I came in here to comfort her and she was trying to comfort me. I sighed.

"Alright I'll tell you, but you can't tell anyone, unless it's Harry." I said. Piper gave me a nod and I explained everything to her, from my life in New Orleans in the 1940s to my death in Alaska to James and Ignotus finding me and having Nico take me with him out of the Underworld. I even told her about my cursed jewels and how I can manipulate tunnels. By the time I finished telling Piper she didn't look shocked, or grossed out or anything, she just had a thoughtful look on her face before nodding.

"I have noticed the little rubies and diamonds that seem to pop up around you." Piper said. "And I figured you most be from the olden times, you don't act like a girl from this time, you seem less...I don't know how to explain, for one thing I can tell you don't like the idea of Annabeth and Percy or even me and Harry sharing a cabin when were not even married."

"I'm sorry, I'm not trying to judge you or anything." I said. Piper just smiled.

"I understand, it's the time you were raised in." Piper said. "But, Hazel, you shouldn't let that stop you, if you really do like Ron, go for it."

I shook my head. "What if I'm made to go back to the Underworld when this is all over? It wouldn't be fair to him. Besides finding a boyfriend isn't what I should be thinking about right now. I should be getting what I need ready to go on the quest with Ginny and Jason. I just came in here to see how you were doing. I'll just go get my stuff ready now." I turned to leave but Piper called to me.

"Hazel, wait." I turned back around to see Piper had stood. "I feel kind of bad that I'm taking most our friends with me, and you can only take two, but I... we need all the help we can to get to Harry, so if I let you use something would you promise not to lose it?"

"I promise." I said, wondering what on earth was she going to lend me. My eyes widen when she took off her Dragon pendant and put it around my neck.

"You know my Mother gave me that, so please take good care of it." Piper said.

"Are you sure?" I asked. "You might need to know if a monster is near by."

"You guys can use it more." Piper said. "You'll be down on the ground just walking around, you'll be in most danger of being attacked."

"Are you sure?" I asked. And I smiled and looked down at it. At the moment it was showing the egg side.

"Hazel, you're a part of Harry's family." Piper said. "And I would like for us to be friends."

"I would like that too." I said. And I meant it, I liked Piper she seemed like a good person.

She reached one arm around my shoulder and gave me a friendly hug. Before pulling away quickly.

"You better go get some rest." Piper said. "You're going to have a hard quest a head of you. Saving a goddess is not going to be easy."

"I know." I said. I turned and head toward the door. "Good night." I said, before heading out it and shutting the door behind me. I waited outside it for a moment, then I heard Piper sniffing again, she must have laid back down crying. She must really love Harry. I wished there was a way I could find someone I loved that much. But with the fact I'm suppose to be dead I don't see that happening.

"There you are." Nico suddenly appeared in front of me. He glanced at the room I had come out of, then down at Piper's pendant around my neck. "What were you and Piper talking about?"

"The quest." I said. "Went to see if she was okay, and she let me borrow her pendant, said I would need it more than her right now, Jason, Ginny and I will be at more of a risk getting attacked."

"Piper's a nice girl." Nico said. "Not like all her brothers and sisters back at camp. Anyway, I wanted to talk to you about this quest, Hazel, I really don't want you to go on it."

"Nico, I have to." I said. "Everyone else will be needed here."

Nico rolled his eyes. "We really don't need all this people. Piper, Annabeth, Percy, Luna and I can save Harry ourselves, we don't need the others, let Weasley go a head and babysit his sister, you can stay with us, Leo and his little Bookworm can go along with them. I bit Percy and I, and maybe Piper, will be the ones doing all the real fighting anyway."

"Nico, what on earth is the matter with you." I asked. I knew he didn't care for most the people on this ship, but he was acting weird. He ran his hand through his hair, making it messy. My eye landed on the ring on his right hand. I didn't like that ring one bet. And what it can. I came back from the dead, and I still found the thing creepy. It was the stone in it. When Nico had destroyed the Horcrux inside it, he was supposed to take the stone to our dad so it could be destroyed, but he kept it.

Nico had went to the Underworld after the Doors Of Death had opened, he had went to talk his other sister, Bianca to show her the open door, but Bianca wanted to try for rebirth so she refused, no matter how much Nico bagged, she wouldn't walk through the doors. So after Nico destroyed the Horcrux, he kept the ring and now used it to talk to Bianca and as long as he keeps calling her here using the Resurrection stone in the ring, she can't try for rebirth, because the ring brings her back, but not fully, only Nico can see her and she's almost transparent. And when he uses the stone to talk to her, it always ends in a fight.

Nico just stood there watching for a bit, before shaken his head and storming passed me. I sighed as I watch him go.

"Not very friendly is he?" Someone asked, I turned back around to see Ron standing there.

"He's... umm.. just has a lot of things on his mind is all." I said. "He's usually not that grumpy."

"Hazel, can I ask you a small favor?" Ron asked. I nodded. "Everyone here knows by now I don't trust that prat Jason. So you think you can keep an eye on him, and watch my sister. For some reason she's hung up on him, and I'm worried he's going to end up hurting her." I frowned, I knew of Ron's mistrust of Jason. I didn't really know the guy myself, I didn't think he seem like a bad guy. And he did seem to actually care for Ginny. But I wanted to ease Ron's worries.

"Okay, I'll keep any eye on them both." I said. "But if they go off somewhere to be alone or something, it's not like I can follow, I'll watch them the best I can."

Ron looked like he wanted to argue, but took a deep breath and nodded. "Okay, I guess that'll have to do, but I just wish I could go with you." Ron looked at me with his crystal blue eyes, I though he had the prettiest eyes I had ever seen. He made like he was going to reach for me, like he was going to put his hand on my shoulder or take my hand, but he stopped and tried to pass it off as running his hand through his hair. Something he never did.

"You need to watch yourself around Jason too." Ron told me. "I don't like how either of you will be by yourselves with him. I don't trust him." I smiled and reached out and took Ron's hand. We just stood there and stared at each other. Then Ron stepped closer and bent over I think he was going to kiss me... but then ...

"Oh, there you are, Ron.." Hermione came around the corner, and Ron dropped my hand and stepped back, his face turning red. "I've looked everywhere for..." she stopped and looked between me and him, with raised eyebrows. "I'm sorry, did I interrupted something?"

"I was just heading back to my cabin." I said, then pushed past Ron and Hermione on my way to my room.

The sun had come up before Leo found somewhere to drop us off. I had packed what I needed in the peacock designed duffel bag. Hera had given us. I didn't put as much in it, because before I couldn't even lift it. I smiled remembering Ron had carried it for me, then blushed when I remembered how Ron carried me back to the ship when that spider thing bit my leg.

We were all up on deck waiting for the ship to land, Leo found some kind of island. He was going to let us off here, but there was no way he could fix the ship here, so after dropping us off, he would go a little farther and before headed out to Greece and the orignal Mount Olympus, he would find a good place to stop and fix the ship, so once Ginny, Jason and I got off we would be on our own. Which was a little scary for me. I didn't really know Ginny or Jason, and since coming back to this world I haven't been without my brother. And at the moment he wasn't even around, so I couldn't say bye. I think he was mad at me for going, but Nico wasn't my boss, just because he brought me back doesn't mean I have to do what he says.

The ship jerked as we lowered down to the island, it jerked again as we hit the ground as we shook a bit. But than it stopped. Leo then lowered the stairs so we could get off.

"You guys be careful." Annabeth said, as we picked up our bags, and headed for the stairs.

"Don't trust anyone you might come across." Percy added. "Never know when it's really a monster or a god or...well they could be anything. If you need to get information from someone, be careful about it."

"We well." Jason said, "Man, remember I've been on a few quest myself."

"I know, just reminding." Percy smiled at him as he patted Jason on the back. "I don't like the idea of splitting up."

"Join the club." Jason told him. "But we got to do what we got to do." Percy nodded and Jason headed down the stairs. I watched as Ginny stopped and hugged both Piper and Hermione, smiled and said goodbye to Luna, but said nothing to Annabeth as Percy patted her on the back and told her to be careful as she left the ship, it was now my turn. Piper and Luna both gave me a hug. Annabeth told me to stay safe, and Percy patted me on the back like he did the others as I left the ship.

We stood a little ways from the ship as we watched it go back into the air taken our friends with it. Nico never did come to tell me bye and that hurt a little. But he needed to learn I can take care of myself. Percy, Leo, and Ron, had waved at us into they were high enough to be out of sight, and we stood there watched as the ship flew off. None of us said a thing into the ship was out of sight.

"So where to?" Jason asked, turning and looking round the island. "How do we find a Cross-Roads and how would we know it it's the right one?"

"I guess we know by the fact we will see a goddess locked up in a cage or something?" Ginny said, looking at an old key in her hand before sticking it in the pocket of her jeans. "We just have to look I guess."

"Lets walk around and look, if there is a cross roads around here I should sense it." I said. The other two nodded and Ginny took Jason's hand and we began to walk. I followed, my hand on my spear on my side, it could fold up so I could hook it to my side. We walked for I don't know how long, we had to of walked all over every inch of the island. And still didn't sense anything.

"Maybe there isn't one on this island." Ginny said. "They have to be rare right." I nodded.

"Great." Jason said. "If there isn't one on this island what are we going to do?" I chew on the inside of my jaw, trying to think.

"Maybe there is somewhere we can rent a boat." Ginny said. "They have to be people somewhere." I nodded, though I didn't really like that idea, didn't Percy say not to trust anybody. We walked on looking around.

We turned around to head back down the way we came, when suddenly from out of no where, over a dozen women wearing black pantsuits and security guard earpiece. Holding out swords and spears surrounded us.

"What the..." Jason didn't finish what he was saying, one girl hit him in the gut with the top of her sword handle, Jason grabbed his stomach and fell to his knees.

"Hey, leave him alone." Ginny cried, she grabbed her tiny sword of her neckless, but before she could enlarge it, another women grabbed Ginny's arm and flipped her on to back. She then snatched the tiny sword out of Ginny's hand.

"Get away from her!" Jason yelled, jumping to his feet. But he was stopped by the sword point to Ginny's neck.

"One more move, Lover boy, and you will see your pretty little girlfriend's blood all over the ground." She said. "Now, both of you dropped all the weapons you have or the redheaded princess here gets it."

We had no chose I tossed down my spear, and bag, Jason took out a knife he had on him and tossed it to the ground, but I noticed he didn't toss down his coin. And as they searched us to make sure we didn't have anything else one guard said.

"All clear, nothing else on him, but some old coin."

"The girl's all clear to." The one searching me said. And after checking Ginny's pockets, one girl grabbed her arm and jerked her up and shoved her next to us. Jason reached out and stopped her from falling.

"You all right?" I asked her. Ginny gave me a nod, glaring at the girl who had the sword to her throat. Then her eyes dropped to Ginny's sword in her hand. And she watched as the girl put it in her pocket.

"What do we do with them?" One asked.

"Come one we'll take him to the Queen." The other said. Then the ones behind us shoved us in the back with their swords, and we were made to follow them. As they led us up to some office building, as we walked up the front path, I noticed it had two glass doors and one word etched in the glass, Amazon. The one in the lead open the door and shoved us in.

The lobby made me feel like I was in an empty fish tank-glass walls, a glossy black floor, a few token plants, and pretty much nothing else. Against the black wall, a black stone staircase led up and down. In the middle of the lobby stood two young women in the same black pantsuits, one had long auburn hair and one had long black hair and dark piercing eyes. They both were wearing security guard earpiece. They walked toward us, the auburn hair girl's name tag said Kinzie. But the black hair girl didn't have a name tag on. Kinzie glared toward Jason. Then looked to the other girls.

"What is this? Who are they?" She asked.

"Found these trespassers walking around the island, up to no good." One girl said. The one that seem to be the boss over the others.

"We didn't do anything." Jason glared at her. "We were just minding our..." He was cut off when the black hair girl took her sword and swept Jason's legs out from under him, and then put the point of the blade to his throat.

"Hey," Ginny cried. Before she could help, the other girls stepped in holding her back by the arms. Kinzie had got behind me and held her dagger to my throat.

The dark hair girl glared down at Jason. "First rule: Males don't talk without permission. Second rule, trespassing on our territory is punishable by death."

Jason stared up at the girl and said nothing, he looked at the silver ring on the girls finger then back up at her, his sky blue eyes widened.

"Reyna?" He asked. The girl's eyes narrowed, she looked his face over, then his blonde hair and then the little scar Jason had on his lip, her eyes widened, and she lifted her sword up and backed away a little.

"Jason?" She asked. Jason raised up a little, looking shocked. Ginny looked between the two.

"You know each other?" She demanded. I could hear a slight bet of jealousy in her voice. The guards also looked between the two of them.

"We were all placed in the same foster home together once." Jason said. "Reyna, her older sister Hylla, I was only four, the foster parents was mean so we ran away, they took me with them. Even though they were kids themselves Hylla a little older than a kid, going into her teens, but anyway, we lived in an old abandon apartment building for six-years. Reyna and Hylla stole and bagged for food" Jason's face suddenly took on an angry look. "Then they abandoned me to run off with some women promising them all magic and a better life. Last time I laid eyes on her I was ten. Not long after that I was found by a policeman who took me to a boys home, I then bounced from foster home to foster home, aways ending up running away. Then when I just turned fifteen Thalia found me, and took me to camp half-blood."

Kinzie's hold loosened on me as she looked between Jason and Reyna, Ginny's face took on an angry jealous look, and everyone else didn't seem to know what to do.

"What should we do, Reyna?" Kinzie asked. "Do we kill them or..?"

"Take them to my sister." Reyna said, not taking her eyes off Jason. "Let Hylla decided." She turn without another word and headed up the stairway. The amazons then marched us down so many steps, I lost count.

Finally we emerged in a cavern so big it could have accommodated ten high schools, sports fields and all. conveyor belts wound through the room, carrying boxes in every direction. Aisles of metal shelves stretched out forever, stacked high with crates of merchandise. The only humans I saw was black-suited security women patrolling the catwalks, and some men in orange jumpsuits, like prison uniforms, and collars around their necks.

"You keep slaves?" I demanded.

"The men?" Kinzie snorted. "They're not slaves, they just know they're place. Now keep moving." We walked so far my feet begun to hurt. I though we must be getting to the end of the warehouse when Kinzie opened a large double doors and led us into a cavern, just as big as the first.

"Hogwarts isn't even this big." Ginny complained.

Kinzie smiled smugly. "You admire our base of operation? Yes, our distribution system is worldwide. It took many years to profit. The mortals don't realize they are funding the Amazon kingdom. Soon, we'll be richer than any mortal nation. Then-when the weak mortals depend on us for everything-the revolution will begin!"

Jason snorted. "What are you going to do? Cancel free shipping?" A guard slammed the hilt of her sword in his gut. Ginny tried to help, but two more guard pushed her back. "Keep your hands off her!" Jason growled, looking as if he would attack them, but was held back by sword point.

"You will learn respect." Kinzie said. "It's males like you who have ruined the mortal world. The only harmonious society is one run by women. We are stronger, wiser-"

"More humble," Ginny said. Rolling her eyes. "Well, its women like you who make must males act the way they do." A guard tried to hit her, but Ginny ducked, then came back up with her fist and gave the guard a punch that sent her flying back. More guards went for her, but Jason threw Ginny behind him and shield her. he even pulled his coin out of his pocket ready to flip it.

"Stop it!" I cried. "Didn't that Reyna girl say to let her sister decide our fate."

"She's right." Kinzie said, nodding. "And we are wasting time... time is definitely an issue."

"What do you mean?" I asked. Kinzie didn't answer she just led us on. We entered a smaller cavern that looked like a combination of loading zone and throne room. The shelves in this room were stacked with cages containing live animals-black mastiffs, giant eagles, and a red ant the size of a compact car.

At the base of the steps, several Amazons in camouflage were having a heated argument while a young women watched and listened. I saw Reyna standing by her throne. It must have been Hylla she looked too much like Reyna for it not to be. But older in her twenties, she wore a black leather jumpsuit and black boots. She wore a strange belt around her waist made of interlocking gold links. Kinzie took one look at the argument and grunted.

"Otrera's agents, spreading lies again." She said. I didn't know what she was talking about, but didn't feeling like asking, she wouldn't have gave me any answer anyway.

"Why is that poor creature locked up." Ginny demanded, she pointed to a cage being guarded by two amazon women. It was the most beautiful Pegasus I had ever seen, he was solid white, mane, tail and all. With Sea-green eyes I had only seen on Percy. The poor thing was locked in a cage and it's wings was tied down by a large rope that was wrapped around it.

"You're going to hurt his wings." Ginny said. "It's so pretty, how dare you lock up a living creature like that. You have no right."

"That princess, happens to be Pegasus." Kinzie said. "He's worth a lot of money. Took us years to catch him."

"I can see he's a Pegasus." Ginny said. "I'm not blind, and I don't care how much he is worth, he shouldn't be treated like that."

"You mean the Pegasus? I asked, awed. Kinzie nodded looking smug.

"There's prophecy about him allowing a female warrior to ride him into battle." Kinzie said. "But so far, he had not allowed any one to even go near him. That's is why he is locked up, like that he has gotten vicious."

"I would too if I was locked in cage and tied down." Ginny said.

The argument at the front of the room grew louder. Finally Hylla noticed them approaching and without taking her eyes off Jason, she snapped. "Enough!" And the arguing Amazons stopped at once. Hylla stood, her eyes still on Jason as she made it down from the throne. She stopped right in front of him, her eyes going to his camp neckless.

"Why have you come here?" She demanded. "We parted ways years ago."

"Parted ways." Jason said, outraged. "You guys abandoned me, I was only ten, I didn't have nowhere to go or didn't know what to do."

"Yes, well, sorry about that, but Circe had promised a good life." Hylla said. "But sadly, that life was taken from us, by a male demigod and his blonde headed friend. If I ever lay eyes on them again, I will kill them on sight."

"I know how you feel." Jason said. "Not long after you lift the old building we lived in burnt down, that's when a cop found me and I took me to a boy's home. I bounced from one loveless home to the next. Into I finally had enough and ran away, I was found by my real sister I didn't even know I had. She took me to camp half-blood. I found real friends there and a new brother. A brother I was on quest to save, then your little guards kidnapped us."

An older women standing with the other amazons begin to laugh. "foolish, Hylla you dare allow this male to talk to you in that way. If it was me he would be dead by the time he opened his mouth."

"Otrera," Hylla interrupted, "you're here as a guest. You are not queen anymore."

"Untill tonight." Qtrera said. "Then I shall take command."

"If you take command." Hylla said. "But for now. I am queen. my word is law."

"Whatever you say?" Qtrera said. She raised her voice. "Any of you wish to hear more about Gaea, and our glorious future with her, come with me." About half the amazons followed her out of the room. Reyna and Kinzie snorted in disgust.

Hylla sighed and looked at Jason, then to me and her eyes fall on Ginny. "Tell me of this quest?" Ginny then explained everything, started when we left camp on Hera's orders to save Hera up into we ran into Hecate and her quest she gave Ginny. Hylla frowned.

"I've heard a lot about this Heracleitus Potter." She said, then looked to her sister. "Haven't we Reyna?" She nodded with a scowl, like she didn't like Harry or something. "last time we saw our mother he was all she talked about, his power, her plans she had for him." She rolled her eyes. "All the bloodshed he was going to cause

"Your mother?" Jason asked. Hylla turned and went up and sat back down on her throne.

"Yes," She said. "Our mother is Enyo the goddess of war."

"Oh," Jason said. "Have you heard about Voldemort?" Hylla nodded.

"Otrera, is a daughter of Ares, she lived many years ago and once was the Queen of the Amazons." Hylla explained. "Gaea recently brought her back to life, hoping she would beat me and become Queen of the Amazons so they would be on Gaea's side."

"That's not going to happen." Reyna growled.

"For the last time, Reyna." Hylla snapped. "You will not interfere in tonight's battle." She turned back to us. "Qtrera has challenged me to a duel. Any Amazon has the right, it's a duel to the death and if she wins. She'll become queen again and the Amazon will join Gaea side."

"But what about us?" I asked. "I'm sorry about your duel and everything, and I hope you win. But we do have a quest to finish, we have to free the goddess Harmonia, if we don't they will be a lot more bloodshed and fights and our other friend will start fighting and never reach Harry in time to save him, and he'll die, Hera will destroy camp, and the gods will fight with each other, and Gaea will wake and win. And the whole world will be doomed."

"That does not sound very pleasant." Hylla said. "But you have to understand if I let you go I'll look weak and more will turn to Otrera and so either I execute you as trespassers, or Otrera will when she becomes queen."

"But you can't just kill us." Ginny said. "We didn't even come here on our own, we were dragged here by some of your lot." Pegasus whined and begin to hit the cage with his head. His sea-green eyes looking right at Ginny.

Pegasus seems to feel your despair." Hylla said. "Interesting. He's immortal you know-the son of Poseidon and Medusa." Ginny was looking back at the Pegasus, and then she walked toward the cage, the two guards didn't even bother to stop her as she walked up to it and put her hand through the bars. Pegasus whined and batted her hand with his head. Ginny smiled and started to pet him.

"You need to let him go." Ginny said. "He didn't do anything wrong to be locked up like this."

Hylla looked from the winged horse to Ginny. "Unbelievable, you have courage, young lady."

"My name is Ginny." Ginny said. "She stopped petting Pegasus and he whined. "You said your mother was Enyo?" Hylla nodded. Ginny looked at Jason.

"Isn't that Harry's sister?" She asked. "The one Piper said he won't be happy about having to save." Jason nodded.

"Save?" Reyna asked. "What do you mean save?"

"You don't know?" Jason asked. Reyna shook her head. "Enyo has been captured, she now holds up the sky, and Atlas is on the loose. If we don't get to finish our quest. Then our friends that's on their way to save Harry won't get there and then Harry will die and Hera will destroyed camp Half-blood and the god will fight with each other and Gaea will awake and defeat the gods and then all of us will be doomed."

"Yes, we've heard." Hylla whispered. Looking wide-eye.

"But what does this have to do with our Mother." Reyna said. "We don't need Harry, we can go save her ourselves."

"That'll be a little hard to do." Jason said. "Our buddy Leo killed Ladon, so the nymphs needed a new guard and Hera got a friend of Harry's to do the job." Hylla's eyebrows rose in question. "She will only allow him and anyone with him into the garden and got to go through the Hesperides garden to get to the mountain. And this little friend of Harry's happens to be a 100 foot long darken, by the name of Draca."

"Then how is Enyo up there?" Hylla demanded. "And the people who have her up there."

"Voldemort and Gaea is behind it." Ginny said. "I don't know how he would get past Draca, we think maybe Enyo was put up there before Draca became guard, then again it is a very power wizard and mother earth. I'm sure they know ways of getting on the mountain without going through the garden." She took a breath. "Anyway it all up to Harry to save Enyo."

The queen looked down at Reyna and she nodded.

"Kinzie." Hylla said. "What if we hold these three prisoner and hold judgment into after the duel, allow the new queen to decided their fate and say, we allow her followers to guard them. It wouldn't look very good if they, escaped before midnight would it?"

"It would be embarrassing, for her I would think." Kinzie said.

"And of course none of my guards would know of any prison break." Hylla went on.

"Of course not." Kinzie said.

"We couldn't help you of course." Hylla said. "But if you three somehow over powered the guards while they were locking you up, and you some how found your weapons and supplies in the guard room station next to the cells. And gods forbid if you made your way back to the throne room while I was off getting ready for my duel and stole Pegasus and made an escape, because you some how got hold of an amazon key card."

Kinzie led us up three different ladders, and up on a catwalk, she then tied our arms around us loosely. More guards walked down to meet us.

"All yours." Kinzie shoving Jason toward them. She then turned and walked away, as the guards led us down toward cages. We waited in till we knew for sure Kinizie was will out of the room, that she wouldn't have to come help. The Jason gave us a nod, he then jumped bringing his arms around to the front of him, then broke them loose of their bonds, but mine and Ginny's robes was loose enough to just slip off. I summoned a hundreds of brackets out of crate near by and they zimmed over and wrapped their selves around the guards ankles and dragged them upside down.

"Hazel, how can you do that?" Ginny asked.

"We'll talk later." Jason said, pulling out his coin and giving it a flip, it turned to a sword and he raised it up to one of the girl's throats. "How about giving me your amazon key cards or we'll have two headless Amazons hanging upside down." Both girls tossed him down their key card and Jason stuck them in his pocket, before taken Ginny's hand and leading us toward the guard station. There was one guard sitting behind a desk.

"Wait here." Jason whispered, then he ran in the room sword up. The guard was taken off... well guard as Jason raised his sword and hit her on the back of the head, she crumbled to the ground, and Jason grabbed his knife, Ginny's wand. and my spear, before running back out.

"Sorry, Gin Gin, but your sword wasn't in there." Jason said, as he handed Ginny her wand. Ginny nodded looking diapointed.

"We better get moving." Jason said, he led us down the three ladders. Which was easy, every time someone tried to stop us, I just made a crate of jewelry blow up on them or Ginny would hit them with some spell. We past one guard that must have been loyal to Hylla because when she saw us, she just turned and went the other way.

But then when we got to the throne room an amazon in full body armor, stood blocking the door, it was the one that had taken Ginny's sword.

"I got this one." Ginny said. Jason nodded and handed her his sword. We stepped back and Ginny stepped into battle, The Amazon jabbed at her, but she sidestepped, cut her spear in half, and then slammed the helt of Jason's sword against the guard's helmet as hard as she could, as she also pointed her wand at her crying out.

"Stupefy," The guard dropped to the floor and didn't move, Ginny knelt down and searched her pockets, then pulled out her tiny sword, and grinned as she tossed Jason's back to him, she pressed the beak on the eagle and it grow into a full size sword.

Jason smiled and stepped toward Ginny and they gave each other a long passionate kiss, before pulling apart.

"Come one, we have to get going." Jason said. He put his hand on Ginny's waist and they went into the throne room, as I was about to follow, I paused and looked to the left, I had this feeling we were being watched and I was right, there in the shadows stood Reyna, and she didn't look too happy about something and something told me it had to do with Jason and Ginny kissing.

When I finally made it into the throne room I saw Hylla had kept her word, she and her guards was gone, Ginny took a key card from Jason and went right to Pegasus' cage and slid the key card. The door opened the beautiful winged horse came walking out the best he could with his wings tied to his back.

"It's okay," Ginny told him, petting him soothingly. "I'll get you free, just hold still." To my surprise he listen to her, and Ginny pointed her wand at Pegasus and whispered something I didn't hear.

The ropes fell away at once and Pegasus reared his legs back and straight it's wings as far as they will go, while making noises like a horse. "Feel like helping me and my friends out?" Ginny asked him. He made a nose she took as a yes, and Ginny climbed on his back, Jason got behind her, and put one arm tightly around her waist then reached down to me, and I grabbed his hand and he pulled me up behind him.

"You guys hold on." Ginny told both of us. Jason put his other arm around her waist too, but I didn't feel comfortable with putting my arms around Jason, so I just grabbed hold of his shirt and held on. Ginny gave Pegasus a little nudged and he started gulping down the room, heading for an exit, I almost fall off when he stood on his hind legs to kick opening a door, he then ran through the other room, passing dozens of guards, shooting arrows and throwing spears as we ran past, we made it up to the lobby, but then Ginny pulled on Pegasus's reins, and he stopped, Pegasus flapped his wings wanting to get out of the building so he can fly for the first time, since who knows how long. But Otrera and a bunch of her amazon followers blocked our way.

"Surrender!" Otrera screamed. Ginny just pulled her wand out and pointed it right at the ex-queen. And this flappy bat things was suddenly flopping all in her face. Otrera cried out and tried to bat them away. Her followers started shooting arrows at us, Ginny held out her wand.

"Protego!" She cried, kicking Pegasus lightly in the ribs, and the wing horse begun to run, the arrows shot at us just bounce off as Pegasus spread his wings and went right through one of the glass windows and up into the air. As we got farther away the alarms soon faded.

A.N. Hope this chapter was good. I know they ran into the Amazons in SoN, but I have a reason for putting them in there, and since Ginny is supposed to be leading the quest. I wanted to give her the animal, and I use Pegasus instead of Arion the horse because I wanted it to be different, plus later on down the road, I might still give Hazel, Arion. And I know Reyna and Hylla are daughters of Bellona, but since there is no Rome in my story, I gave them to Enyo, and since there would be no Rome camp for Reyna to go to, I figured she would stick with her sister, and I still wanted her to have known Jason, so I put them being friends with him, before they went to Circe's Island, they basically abandoned him to go to Circe's island. It also gave me a chance to tell some of Jason's background before he came to camp, since he wouldn't have been at any Rome camp.
