Hazels poc

Hazel had been excited when she had found out they were going to Florida. It was the perfect place for lessons on being modern. That and she really wanted to go to Disney. But plans had changed and there she was sitting in the infirmary nursing her boyfriend after he had gotten knocked out in a fight against some rather interesting monsters. Did Disney Villains count as monsters. They weren't mortals that was for sure.

The plan had been simple. Travel to Florida. Get there three days early so they could have a few days of downtime in Orlando then on the third day pull off the extraction and head back to New York. It was a rather large group. Seven unclaimed demigods plus one son of Hermes. There were seven of them and only eight rooms on the Argo II. They would have to share. It was a minor inconvenience. Leo had showed them bunks that pulled down from the ceiling just in case. There wouldn't be a shortage of beds. Piper had said it reminded her of a cruise ship. Annabeth and Percy had agreed with her but when asked if they had been on a cruise had said no. No one had asked for further explanation.

They had arrived on time with little delay from monsters. Leo had docked the ship somewhere safe and they had headed to their various resorts. It had been Pipers idea to go to Disney. Most of them had had strange childhoods (the most normal being Frank's) and none but Piper had been to a Disney park. Leo and Annabeth on the run, Jason at camp, Percy's mom working two jobs to keep them fed (not to mention smelly Gabe), Frank in canada, and Hazel dead. To put it lightly none of them had had the time.

Hazel and Frank had been staying at Port Orleans Resort. Hazel had nearly cried when they got there. It reminded her so much of her old home. It had been a magical hour and a half. Then they were attacked. Hazel didn't really know what to think about voodoo. Or t least she hadn't. People had called her mother a voodoo witch but until now she hadn't thought it was real. Hard to ignore black magic when a voodoo witch doctor is chasing you and your boyfriend.

Dr Facileir had attacked both Hazel and Frank while they were exploring their resort. Similar things had happened to the others. Percy and Annabeth were found by Ursula, Jason and Piper by Jafar, Leo had been on the Argo II having gone back after checking into his room. They had overlooked him.

They had all met back at the ship and had quickly discussed the situation. That was when the Evil Queen showed up. the following battle ad left Piper literally speechless and Frank knocked out. The curse on Piper had worn off and the group had decided it was best to push their plans ahead and start the extraction immediately. Hazel was now waiting for Frank to wake up as they made their way to Dillards home. The arranged pick up spot.

Hazel felt them start to descend. Suddenly they plummeted and hit the ground hard. There was a very audible crunch and when Hazel looked out the window the stern of the ship was laying on the roof of a house. Hazel made a mental note never to step foot in a car Leo was driving then she headed up to the deck to see what had happened.

Annabeth was pacing the deck cursing in Greek. Hazel had a basic knowledge of the language and thought she could make out the words "little flaming idiot" and "who does he think he is Santa Claus?" Percy stood there watching her with an amused look on his face. "Leo fell overboard." He pointed off the side of the ship. "and into the chimney." Hazel didn't question how it was possible. They were talking about Leo. Jason and Piper emerged from behind Hazel. "Well then." Piper said. "We cant exactly go and ring the doorbell can we?" Hazel nodded. She was pretty sure that it would still be weird to crash a flying ship into someone's house then walk right up and ring the doorbell as if nothing had happened. "Then we'll have to follow him." Percy said.

Willa's Pov

Willa screamed. She had been sitting in front of the fireplace and when the boy had come crashing down like a tiny Santa Claus she had been showered in grime and ash. The Keepers were on their feet in a heart beat all staring at the boy who looked more like an elf than Santa himself. He was Latino with curly black hair and pointed ears. He looked around at all of them and grinned. Willa noticed his eyes stayed fixated on her for a moment longer as well as Charlene (although Willa couldn't tell if he was staring at Charlene's face or not.) Phiby must have noticed too because he pushed her behind him protectively. It would have annoyed Willa if she weren't so shocked by the boy's sudden arrival.

"Hello!" The boy said cheerfully grinning mischievously and waving at the group. Willa saw Dillard out of the corner of her eye. His face was as pale as a sheet. "L-Leo you're early. I still haven't explained the situation." He stammered. The boy Leo just grinned. "No worries man. Uncle Leo can help tell the newbies."

"Tell us what?" Willa demanded finding her voice before the rest of the Keepers. Leo opened his mouth then shut it. "Okay maybe I'm not the best man for the job." He said running his hand through his hair. Before anyone could respond more ash rained down into the room as five more people came down it. One by one each of them stood brushing soot off of their clothes and taking in the scene. Three girls and two boys all around 16. One of the girls stepped forward. She had dirty blonde curls and piercing grey eyes. She glared at Leo who scurried to stand awkwardly behind a tall blond haired blue eyed boy and an exotic looking girl with brown hair and eyes that seemed to shift colors making it hard for Willa to tell what their true color was. Dillard looked like he was going to have a heart attack. "Annabeth you're two days early!" He said. "They don't know anything." The boy named Leo put in cautiously.

The blonde looked at the others who all nodded. "Dillard it'll have to wait. We were attacked. It isn't safe in Orlando." Willa tried again. "What is going on?" She asked. Annabeth as Dillard had called her seemed to notice the Keepers for the first time. She looked at Willa with a cool calculating gaze. Willa stared right back at her. They stayed like that until the blonde looked away. "We can explain later. We need to get on the ship." She said to no one in particular. A boy with messy black hair and sea green eyes interrupted her. "Um, Annabeth. They deserve an explanation." He said placing his hand on her shoulder. She rolled her eyes but nodded. He turned to the group. "Um, Hi. I'm Percy." He said. Willa rolled her eyes. "Just tell us what is going on." She said. He nodded "Um, right. So do you guys believe in gods?"
