Big Shout-out to Starburst for reminding me this still existed! I shall be dedicating this last(Sniff sniff) chapter to you mostly because everytime I look at my reviews you are there.
But, seriously guys. You have made this so incredibly amazing and beautiful.
If I give ya'll the URL to my original story will you read it?
Not redoing it FYI. Just review and tell me if you want me to continue it or do a whole different HoH altogether.
But how bout that HoH cover? I personally am not a fan but I am excited that it's finally the Percabeth cover!
Why do I not like it you ask? Several reasons:
Percy looks like he has mascara running down his face.They still look like they're twelveWhat in the name of samhell are they wearing? It looks like they took fashion advice from one of the Gorgons.Annabeth has a ribbon tied around her hair. She's not 8, John Rocco.Lastly, the MoA cover was absolutely fabulous and this one was really just a letdown. I mean, come one. The HoO covers have only gotten better, this one is honestly just not doing it for me.I am so sososososososososososososososososososososososososo sososososososososososososososososososososososososo sosososososossosososososso
So so so so SOOOOOOO SO sorry.
This is the last chapter:'(.
Just look for my new HoH on my profile!
Jason
Jason watched with amusement as Percy paced and ripped his hair out in front of the entire Mess Hall. h
"Dude, it's okay," Travis started.
"Yeah, denial is one of the stages of grief," Connor continued as they sat him down at one of the tables. Percy looked at them as if they were speaking Mandarin.
"Yeah I think it's Step 2," Travis said.
"No, it's Step 3!" Connor argued. At that point at least twenty different people started yelling out which step it was.
"No, idiots, it's Step 1. Don't get your panties in a wad," Clarisse interjected. At that point the mess hall went silent as she turned to the camp.
"Look, I know it's a shock that Princess died-"
"She didn't die though!" Leo whined.
"Anyway-"Clarisse said, shouting him a glare, "We need to stop focusing on that and start focusing on the problem at hand which is the fact that we have no plan whatsoever. I know Annabeth made the plans before, but we have an ENTIRE cabin of strategists-"
"Who aren't here," someone grumbled.
"That would gladly come out of hiding if we stopped acting like babies and asked them."
"DUDE!" Travis yelled, hitting Connor on the arm.
"OW!" Connor snapped. "Whadya want, woman?"
"Clarisse is totally like the Triceratops from the Land Before Time!" Travis yelled. Jason couldn't help but nod in agreement as Clarisse chased him out of the Big House. Percy then stood up the same time Piper did.
"Guys, she's not dead. We spent the past two weeks with her on a boat," Piper told them.
"Yeah, she just disappeared when we landed," Percy grumbled as he looked out the window, no doubt looking for his girlfriend.
"Because ghosts are afraid of people," Connor butted in.
"Connor, maybe they're telling the truth," Katie suggested. Connor snorted and went back to being silent. Thank the gods.
"But, maybe it was just a trick!" Someone yelled. Jason really had no idea who it was.
"Regardless of whatever our opinions are we need to make a plan," Jason spoke up, "Clarisse is right. We can't just sit around and wait for Annabeth to come back or not comeback. We have the Romans getting ready to attack us, a crazy psychopath on the loose, and Gaea rising up sometime in the near future."
"Who's the crazy psychopath?" Miranda asked.
"The chick who 'killed' Annabeth and made her insane. She's with Gaea and she doesn't like us," Piper answered.
"Can we try to, like, talk Reyna out of trying to crush our camp into smithereens, or?" Leo asked Jason.
Jason shook his head. "No, I-" The slam of a door interrupted him. Audible gasps could be heard as a blonde with stormy gray eyes and a sadistic smile on her face sauntered in.
"Annabeth? Where were you?" Percy asked, reaching for her.
"Well, while you all were arguing with each other over what to do, I was busy making a plan," She said matter-of-factly, the creepy smile never leaving her face.
"Why are you smiling like the Joker?" Leo asked her.
"Because I have a plan, Valdez," She said cheerily. She grabbed Leo's shirt collar, Hazel's hand, and motioned with her chin for Nico to follow her. "Lead them to the Bunker, Leo," Annabeth told him. Leo nodded warily and led them out the Mess Hall.
"Annabeth, what are you doing?" Percy asked her, worry etched all over his face.
"Stay focused. Please," She pleaded quietly as she hugged him fiercely. A girl from the Aphrodite squealed. Jason rolled his eyes. He watched as she let him go and took a roll of paper out of her back pocket. She looked around.
"Where's Malcolm?" She demanded, smile gone.
"Your entire cabin is isolating themselves," Katie bravely answered. Annabeth nodded and turned to Piper.
"Try and find Malcolm to do this but no matter what happens, follow this to the letter," She told her, never waving her gaze from her eyes. She nodded as she unrolled it. She scanned it quickly and then looked up at her, her eyes searching her face frantically.
"Annabeth, this is...crazy," Piper said to her. She nodded.
"Yeah, but it'll work if you do exactly what this tells you to."
"But-"
"Promise," She begged.
"Fine, promise," Piper agreed as she hugged her.
"Okay. Bye, guys. See ya soon," She said, quickly fleeing from the Mess Hall. Jason sighed as he looked at Piper.
"Alright, what do we do first?"
Reyna
Reyna looked at Annabeth as if she lost her mind. She had just explained her plan and Reyna didn't even know how to begin to complete the first task.
"Annabeth...that's-just-" Reyna stammered.
"Brilliant? I know," She grinned wickedly. Then her face turned utterly serious. "But, you can't tell anyone or else it won't work."
"But, why?" Reyna asked. Annabeth wasn't listening, she was busy walking over to the window and examining whatever was going on outside.
"I have to go. The Camp doesn't know I'm here and I don't want them to freak out. You're fine getting out by yourself?" She asked while walking towards the door.
"They think you're dead!" Reyna stammered. Why couldn't she get a grip?
"Whatever. Meet me on the roof at eleven. Don't open the door on top until you hear a bang!" Annabeth yelled while running down the hallway. She was gone, but she left the door open.
Reyna ran through the door and down the long, narrow hallway. She didn't know exactly where she was going, but she knew what she was trying to find.
She ran up a flight of stairs, coming to a small landing with two hallways leading in opposite directions. One was open and when she looked down it, there were rows of lockers and classrooms. Not what she needed. the other hallway was small and dark with desks stacked on top of each other and piles of empty boxes. The door was stamped "Maintenance". That was just what she needed.
She wandered down the dark hallway that was filled to the ceiling with extra desks and chairs on the left, leaving a narrow strip that Reyna shuffled down. She found the door labeled 'Roof Access' and pushed on the handle, praying to every god she could think of for it to open. It did. She silently thanked whatever god watched over locked doors and rushed in. She walked around, not really sure of what she was looking for. She finally located a small door with stairs leading up to it. She saw a clock out of the corner of her eye, reminding her that she had to wait until eleven. It was ten, now. Reyna decided that securing her position would be best, so she backtracked, locking or blocking the doors to the best of her ability. She then sat in wait do be a pawn in whatever the Greek had in mind. Hopefully her desperation wasn't the getting the better of her.
Leo
Leo decided at that precise moment that Annabeth needed to go to a psychiatric ward.
"What is it, Leo?" Hazel asked him, perking up from her spot by the drawing board.
"Blondes aren't dumb. They're just flat out psychotic. Whoever made that stereotype was seriously delusional," Leo grumbled as he tried to decipher Annabeth's spelling. He keeps forgetting that she was dyslexic as well.
"What does she need us to do?" Nico asked.
"Nothing yet," Leo told them as he struggled through Step 4 on the sheet of paper that was waiting for them on a workbench when they got there.
"Well, what's going on?" Hazel pushed on.
"Well, so far she wants Hazel to make a super deep tunnel that she wants Nico to unleash an army of the dead and she wants me to...make, no mark... I don't know. I give up. Who reads dyslexic?" He said. Hazel rolled her eyes and took the paper from Leo. Her brows furrowed.
"Leo, this is weird. It's almost a pattern," Hazel said under her breath. Nico looked over her shoulder as Nico started to pace.
"What do you mean?" Leo asked.
"I don't know but everything that's spelled wrong is spelled the same every time the word is in the paragraph."
"What's so weird about that?" Nico asked.
"Well, Percy is dyslexic and when he spells stuff wrong, it's spelled differently every time. It's weird," Hazel mumbled as she flipped the paper. "Oh, there's something on the back."
"What is it?" Nico asked.
"Just gibberish. It has a Delta symbol then a bunch of other Greek letters that I don't know."
"A Delta?" Leo perked up.
"Yeah, why?"
"There's a Delta symbol on the back of Annabeth's laptop. She got it from Daedalus. It had a ton of inventions and programs on it."
"Yeah, but didn't she lose it in the underworld?" Nico asked.
"Yeah, but she copied some of it down on paper in case something happened to it," Leo said, his eyes lighting up as he ran towards a filing system towards the back.
"Hazel let me see the code."
After about an hour of searching through Annabeth's crap, Leo finally found a small envelope with the matching gibberish on the outside written in Annabeth's neat handwriting.
Leo ripped the envelope open like it was a Christmas present and unfolded the paper inside of it.
"What is it?" Nico asked.
"We have a lot of work to do," Leo answered, as he pulled a whiteboard out of nowhere and started to decipher Annabeth's code.
Jason
Everything was set. Each cabin was in the place Annabeth assigned, ready to do what she told them to. Jason could clearly see the Romans in their ranks, marching straight towards the Greeks. It appeared to them as if the camp was empty, but Jason knew differently. All the campers were hiding amongst the trees; as if they were playing Capture the Flag. But, the Seven (Besides Annabeth) were hiding in a crack in Zeus' fist.
Leo had returned with Hazel and Nico about an hour before, looking exhausted. Frank had asked what happened, Hazel shook her head and told him that they couldn't tell them. Jason thought that was interesting. The Seven were divided and keeping secrets from each other, when Annabeth was the main candidate for sharing secrets with each other when they started off on this voyage.
"Where is she?" Percy asked for the hundredth time.
"She's doing something," Piper asked, rolling her eyes.
"What?" He whined.
"I don't know!" Piper said defensively.
"Yes you do!" He argued.
"Yeah, well, I'm not supposed to tell you."
"But-"
"Percy?" Hazel asked.
"What?"
"Shut up."
Jason smirked, silently cheering Hazel on. Suddenly, something caught his eye, distracting him from the bickering going on around him.
"Guys shut up for a sec, look," Piper whispered, passing Jason the binoculars. What Jason saw shocked him. Octavian was leading the army, holding what looked like two prisoners at his sides. Jason adjusted the binoculars further to see one blonde, curly-haired head on the right and one pitch black haired head on his left.
"Guys, he has Annabeth and Reyna."
"What?" Percy exclaimed, almost shouting.
"Shut. Up. Percy," Hazel whispered as she took the binoculars from him.
"What do we do?" Frank asked Piper as he took his turn looking through them.
"We wait," Piper said.
"GREEKS!" Octavian shouted. "I HAVE YOUR CAMP LEADER!" He taunted, forcing Reyna and Annabeth to kneel. One their knees hit the ground two guards behind them drew their swords.
"Guys, we have to-" Percy started urgently.
"No!" Piper whisper-shouted, "We have to wait for the signal."
"COME AND SURRENDER OR WE'LL KILL THEM!" Octavian shouted as the two guards raised their swords.
"Piper! We have to go save them!" Percy said frantically.
"NO. Signal."
"ONE."
"I'm not watching her die again, Piper!"
"TWO!"
"Keep it together, man," Leo said, slapping Percy upside the head. Jason could visibly see campers inching out of their hiding places, unsure of what to do.
"We aren't really going to call his bluff, are we?" Jason asked her.
"Just trust us," Hazel pleaded. The guards stepped closer to the two girls, swords raised. Something groaned underneath them, but they ignored it. If Jason didn't know any better, he could of sworn he saw Annabeth smile.
"THREE!" Their swords slashed downward.
And all hell broke loose.
The End.
