Chapter Five: Frank (I switched...sorry)

Frank was royally confused. A woman in her thirties had just walked up to them, on their flying boat, at one in the morning.

The woman was wearing jeans, a long sleeved red top, and a sword strapped to her had darker hair ( He couldn't really tell what color it was) and stormy gray eyes like Annabeth. And, other than the wine bottle, she also held a metal disk like the one Annabeth found in Charlestown.

Though, something told Frank that the similarities between the mystery woman and Annabeth stopped there.

"Well?" She demanded, "Where is my wretched sister?"

"Um, we don't know who you're talking about," Leo said, his voice getting smaller at the end of the woman walked up to Leo and got right in his face.

"Annabeth. Chase."

"She's, um, unavailable," Piper tried. The woman started to walk around the group of five. No, stalk is the right word. She made a 'come-at-me' gesture to Piper.

"Oh, unavailable," She said with a laugh after what seemed like an hour of silence, "Do you think I came all this way, stole a dragon from Gaea for Zeus' sake to hear 'unavailable'?" She asked Piper.

"Oh, that was your dragon?" Leo mused as he scratched his head. The woman glared daggers at Leo.

"Yeas, you idiot. How do you think I got up here?" She said, while talking through her teeth. Leo didn't answer. Smart of him. For once he used his brains.

The woman closed in on Hazel.

"Where is that idiot blonde?" She asked Hazel. Hazel balled her fists and looked her straight in the eye.

"For you information, Annabeth is really smart. And maybe if you would introduce yourself and be nice, then we might help since you aren't, I'm not helping you," Hazel said slowly. She turned on her heels and started to walk to the cabins, but she stopped midstride. The woman's hand was raised and her eyes were glowing a bright gray. She then stalked over to Hazel.

"Leave her alone," Frank said. The woman turned to him. She looked extremely frightening. Her eyes were glowing and she had the expression of a woman possessed.

"Why should I?" She spat. "Gaea won't. And she's definitely not going to leave that little blonde alone. I'd be doing her a favor. And I'd get my revenge."

"Revenge on what?" Jason demanded. A look of extreme anger crossed her face. She flicked her hand and Hazel went flying. Frank immediately ran o her side to help her.

"Revenge on that wretched Child of Athena! How did she find the statue? I was supposed to find it. Not that poor excuse of an Athena child. What child of Athena goes and hooks up with a son of Poseidon? They're absolute idiots!" The woman was shouting now and her lip started to quiver. "And, who goes and falls into Tartarus, of all places?" The woman put her head down in shame and walked over to the bow of the ship.

"I was supposed to be the one to find her. I was supposed to find it and use it as proof that the Romans stole that statue," Se muttered.

"No! We need to use it as a token of peace!" Piper argued, "We need the Roman's help to defeat Gaea!" The woman turned and stared at Piper.

"Why would I want the Roman's help? What did they ever do for me besides downgrade my lineage? What did they ever do for me besides tell me I'm unworthy and unimportant?" She snarled.

"But- but it's the right thing to do," Piper said in a small voice. A triumphant smile crossed the woman's face.

"Let me tell you something, daughter of Aphrodite, you aren't going to get very far in life doing things because it's the 'right thing to do'. Was it the right thing to do when you tricked Jason and Leo and led them straight into a trap to save your father, whom you barely know?" The woman asked with an eyebrow raised. Piper's face went ashen. Frank was surprised. He didn't know the extent of that story.

"And you, Son of Mars, was it the right think to do to just let your grandmother die?" She quizzed. It felt like someone just punched Frank in the gut. He obviously felt bad about that. The event haunted his dreams almost every night.

"I could go on about each and every one of you not doing the right thing, but I don't have time for that. Where is Annabeth Chase?" She demanded once again.

"Wait, how do you know so much about us?" Jason asked as he pulled out his sword. The woman smiled.

"Athena told me."

"Why?" Piper asked, charmspeak coating her voice. Frank raised his bow and arrows.

"Annabeth Chase has a bounty on her head," The woman said simply.

"But, you're her sister!" Hazel exclaimed.

"Oh, didn't she tell you?" The woman asked with fake astonishment" She was disowned by our mother. She's cursed. "
