I stumbled away from the railing so fast, I almost fell over. I caught myself and got my stygian iron sword. Everybody else did the same. Leo stood at the helm trying to steer us away from the hydra to safety. We had to slice the hydra anywhere but it's neck up.
In order to do that, one of us would have to jump on it's back. When it turns to monster dust, though, whoever goes would fall. We were very high in the air. The drop alone would kill you, if the hyrda hadn't yet itself. I saw a blur of gold down on the ground. 'Great more monsters', I thought to myself.
"One of us has to get on it's back, but the drop is terrible,", I said. Then Hazel smiled like she had an amazing idea.
"I'll do it. I'll kill the hydra from it's back.", Hazel said while smiling.
"No. Hazel, you could possibly die by doing this!", I screamed at her. She just got a stubborn look on her face and pointed to the gold blur.
"Arion. He'll catch me. I'm sure. I'll be fine.", She said with determination. She wasn't going to let me win this one.
"Fine, I guess. Just try to be careful!", I told her. She nodded and jumped off the boat. She landed on one of the hydra's necks. She slid down till she was on it's back, then grabbed on and stopped herself.
We were all busy trying to distract the hydra, and when Hazel stabbed the monster, we stumbled back in surprise. It was raining hydra dust.
"ARION!", Hazel screamed as she fell to the ground. Arion was no where to be seen. Arion was never really there to begin with. I couldn't lose Hazel. I had already lost Bianca, I couldn't lose my other sister as well.
I had brought her back so she could live again. Longer than before. Not so she could die quicker than her first life. I refused to let her down.
"Jason! Fly down there and catch Hazel!" I yelled at Jason. He stood up and jumped over the edge. Piper, Leo, Frank, and I all ran to the rail and watched. Jason was falling faster than Hazel.
He quickly caught up to her. He wrapped his arms around her just seconds before she hit the ground. I let out a breathe I didn't even know I was holding. I was so relieved.
When Jason set Hazel down on the deck. I ran over to her and wrapped my arms around her. She hugged me back instantly. I was afraid to let her go.
"I'm so happy your okay.", I whipsered in her ear.
"I'm so sorry. I should've known better it's all my fault". She whispered back. Her voice sounded choked.
When I finally pulled back, I realized that she was crying. I grabbed her hand and gave it a squeeze.
"It wasn't your fault", I told her. I gave her a reassuring smile. She slowly nodded and smiled back. Then she gave everyone a hug, including Leo. She finished crying and we all headed down stairs.
Leo stayed on deck to set the coordinates and put on autopilot. He ran off and we headed to the Dining room. Several minutes later, Leo sprinted through the door and we all got food. We sat in our seats.
Jason on the right of the head chair with Piper on his left. Next to Piper was Leo. I sat next to Leo at the other end of the table, while Hazel sta to the left of me with Frank next to her. Annabeth and Percy's chair were empty.
Looking at them seemed to bring the mood down a little. Nico couldn't believe it was taking so long to get to Epirus. He wondered if Percy and Annabeth were already at the doors, or if they had even started looking for it yet.
He knew they weren't dead. He would've felt their presence in the Underworld. He had faith in them. After all they've been through he knew they were strong enough to make it out.
Coach Hedge came in and silently stood by the counter. Since Percy and Annabeth fell, he hasn't talked much. THe only time he talks is to say how he could've done more.
We keep telling him nothing could've been done, but he wouldn't buy it.
"I hope our luck gets better.", Leo said breaking my thoughts and the silence that filled the room.
"Ya, after everything we've been through we deserve it.", Piper said. We all silently agreed with her.
"But, a demigod's life is never fair." I reminded her.
Just look at Percy and Annabeth.", Jason said. " They save the world and think the next prophecy will happen in years. Then it starts almost a month after the war. They never get a break. Now there in Tartarus. Their lives have the worst luck of all of us."
That made everybody super uspet. Piper and Hazel started crying and Coach Hedge left the room. If anybody else knew what happened to Percy and Annabeth, I wonder what they are thinking.
If anybody at Camp Half-Blood knew, they would be devastated. Especially Chiron and Grover. Chiron acts like their parent and Grover is their best friend.
Sally is probably worried sick about Percy being gone for almost a year. If the Olympians knew what was going on, I wonder if Athena and Posiedon finally agree with each other, and are upset about their children.
So many things could be happening now and we would never know. We don't even how Gaea is doing. I just hope for once we'll get a little break.
"Let's all get some sleep and let the Argo II stay on auto pilot." I said. I got up and left, with everyone following close behind me. We seperated at our rooms.
I layed on my bed thinking about everything that has happened in my life watching the stars from the lantern. I don't know how long I stayed awake, but eventually, sleep took over and I drifted off to sleep.
Sorry for the wait. Here's chapter six. School starts Tomorrow and I don't want to go back. It might be awhile till the next update. I have sports and homework. I'm only looking forward to doing Greek Mythology in english and seeing my friends.
I hope you liked it. Please review! It would mean alot!
