Son of Neptune Fanfic

 JASON

Ever Since I arrived from my quest I have remembered pieces of my past. The faces of my friends, battles with monsters and most of all the deaths of a lot of people I once knew. Of course nobody knew these details, especially Piper. It’s very confusing liking a girl when you know that in your past life you may have a girlfriend, who you love. Anyway everybody is pretty damn busy around here, helping the Hephaestus cabin make the Argo II, but nobody is as busy as Annabeth and Leo. They ate, slept and practically live in the construction site.

-Jason- called Thalia driving me away from my thoughts

-Mmmm- I answer

-We have a meting, five minutes- And with those final words my annoying sister left the cabin. Ever since she and the hunters came to camp, the Argo II construction have improve and since she is the leader of the hunters she is the also the Artemis cabin counselors.

I put an orange camp T-shirt on and head out of my cabin to the Big House. As soon as I enter the Big House rec room I knew something big was going on. This was because Leo and Annabeth were there and in the lasts council they had send replacements.

-Good you are here-Said Chiron. I sat in my sit next to two empty chairs, the Hades and Poseidon’s counselor’s ones. –So now that Jason is finally here we can hear the progress in the Argo II. - With that final words of Chiron Leos stand up.

-Well as you guys know since the hunters join our cause the Argo II have improve a lot, I call this meeting two inform you all that in four days we may leave to the roman camp.

Everybody in the council smiled and congratulated Leo. I was going to see Bobby, Gwen, Hazel and Reyna. I was finally heading home.

 JASON

As soon as Leo finished, Anabeth talked about our strategy, that was practically head to San Francisco, find the roman camp without any fucking idea how, get their trust and Percy, head to Greece and kick Gaea’s damn ass. After the council I went to Zeus fist. There I fell asleep and of course I got a lame, stupid dream with the devil, I mean Juno.

-Jason, you most leave for your home in four days, but be careful cause’ the way may be dangerous. - Mrs. Captain Sunshine told me

-Not to be rude but I figured that out myself, a lot of demigods traveling for a forbidden place to destroy Terra… let’s say she won’t just sit and enjoy the trip- I told her

-Just be careful, our future is in your hands now- And with that the Queen of the Gods let me sleep in peace.

After what felt like a century I woke up with a creepy sound in the bushes. It was already dark; I must have slept all day. After all, this was the first day I had only one dream. The other nights I had all this strange dreams of battles. I stand up and got out the new sword Leo had made me.

In a minute I was pointing at the throat of a twelve year old boy. He had black hair, white olive pale skin and black clothes.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Whoa…back off- he said in a boring angry tone

<p style="text-align:justify">-Who are you… a spy? - I ask threateningly. In the moment I asked he disappeared. I couldn’t believe I let him escape. I turn around and this time I was the one with the sword at my throat.

<p style="text-align:justify">-What the hell? - I said

<p style="text-align:justify">-Loose your sword, before I see you in the underworld- he said. I threw my sword. In that moment Annabeth came by.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Nico! - she yelled. The boy put his sword down and hugged her.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Hi, how is everything around here? - The boy asked innocently

<p style="text-align:justify">-You know, as always, Percy’s in trouble, I rescuing his sorry ass, a war coming, save the world before human race disappear, you know the usual.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Is good to be back then- he smirked

<p style="text-align:justify">-Is good to see you again- Annabeth said

<p style="text-align:justify">-Mhm- I said

<p style="text-align:justify">-Oh, sorry, Nico this is Jason son of Jupiter, Jason, Nico di Angelo son of Hades- Annabeth said

<p style="text-align:justify">-Mmm sorry about before everything is tense around here, you know- I apologize to Nico.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Don’t worry men, Annabeth, did you just said son of Jupiter? Does that mean that you guys already know about the roman camp? - He asked

<p style="text-align:justify">-What? You knew? - She asked incredulous

<p style="text-align:justify">-Of course I knew, I’m the son of Hades, in the underworld they don’t go as romans or greeks, they go as death demigods- Nico answered as if it were obvious.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Why didn’t you told me? Nico, Percy’s there? - She yelled at him

<p style="text-align:justify">-I know- he sight leaving Annabeth and me speechless.

<p style="text-align:center"> PIPER

<p style="text-align:justify">I know I should be happy, the ship is almost finished, we are finally going to saved the world, weeee, but that also mean that soon Jason was leaving. He was going home, where he has friends, possibly a girlfriend and then I might not see him again. So yeah life sucks.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Piper, are you okay? - Mitchell asked making me jump.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Yeah I’ m fine- I answer walking out the Aphrodite cabin

<p style="text-align:justify">I walked to the forest and sat near the river, thinking about my dream. In my dream Jason and I were holdings hands and then my mom came and told me to fight for what I want and then…. then I saw Jason holding hands with a girl with messy brown hair, hard eyes and muscular body. If I hadn’t saw her face I had swear she was Clarisse. Maybe she was his girlfriend, Aphrodite told me to fight but I couldn’t do that to Jason he had a right to chose.

<p style="text-align:justify">I stand up and walked to bunker 9 looking for Annabeth. If I had staid on more second thinking I would have gone crazy. If Jason wants to be with me he will, if not well I will pretty much die.

<p style="text-align:center"> PIPER

<p style="text-align:justify">I found Leo working with the Argo II. He was greasy and had major dark circles under his eyes.

<p style="text-align:justify">-What’s up beauty queen? Came to help? - He asked

<p style="text-align:justify">-Actually I’m looking for Annabeth. Do you know where she is?

<p style="text-align:justify">-She went to the forest, but now that you are here. I want to show you something.

<p style="text-align:justify">He got up and walked to a cabinet. He started searching for something and when apparently he found it came over.

<p style="text-align:justify">-This is for you- he said and gave me a beautiful bracelet. It was silver and had a charm of a dove.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Gee, thanks Leo, is beautiful- I said a little jealous, why Leo gave me a bracelet and Jason a super cool sword.

<p style="text-align:justify">-It is, but that doesn’t matter… what matter is this- he pressed the dove and the bracelet turn into a shield.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Oh my God Leo that’s super cool- I said turning it again in a bracelet.

<p style="text-align:justify">Then someone yelled in the forest, someone yelled like if his life depended on it.

<p style="text-align:center"> LEO

<p style="text-align:justify">Before I could tell Piper that it wasn’t a big deal someone yelled in the forest. Piper and I ran to the forest and saw Annabeth attacking a twelve year old, that had a big cut in his arm by the way, and Jason between them.

<p style="text-align:justify">-I’m going to kill you, why didn’t you tell me? - Annabeth yelled at the boy

<p style="text-align:justify">- I couldn’t, if I had Jason wouldn’t be here and Hera’s plan would have fail- the boy yelled back, apparently he wasn’t scared of Annabeth. Believe me if that girl look at me the way she was looking at that guy I would have been calling for my mommy.

<p style="text-align:justify">Annabeth stop struggling and Jason got out of the way.

<p style="text-align:justify">-You are right I’m sorry Nico- she apologize

<p style="text-align:justify">-No problem, I would have reacted the same way- he said back and pat her in the back friendly.

<p style="text-align:justify">-What the hell is going on here? - Piper asked

<p style="text-align:justify">-Oh, Piper, Leo, this is Nico di Angelo son of Hades, Nico that’s Piper daughter of Aphrodite and Leo son of Hephaestus- Annabeth said introducing us.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Hey- the boy said.

<p style="text-align:justify">-So, what’s going on? - I asked a little confused. Wasn’t this Annabeth’s friend, then why was she attacking him?

<p style="text-align:justify">-Nothing, Nico here just told me that he already knew about the roman camp and Percy being there- Annabeth said with a trace of anger in her voice,

<p style="text-align:justify">-WHAT? - Piper and I yelled at the same time

<p style="text-align:justify">-Look Annabeth I couldn’t tell you that Percy was there, you would have run to him, probably get you both killed and the rest of the human race too and that’s thinking you ever got there, since Hera would have done everything in her power to prevent you from getting Percy, you would have probably be now with Luke, Michael, Silena, Beckendorf and my sister - Nico said controlling his anger without breathing once.

<p style="text-align:justify">-It’s okay- she said and hugged him. After they separated I asked- How do you knew Percy was there?

<p style="text-align:justify">-Oh, I talked with on of the roman campers- he answered

<p style="text-align:justify">-What? - Jason asked – How?

<p style="text-align:justify">-Well… she kind of died, so I met her when I went visit Beckendorf and Silena- Nico said choosing his words carefully.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Who was she? - Jason asked scared

<p style="text-align:justify">-Gwen- Nico whispered.

<p style="text-align:justify">In that moment all hell broke loose. Jason collapsed in the floor and started screaming and shaking.

<p style="text-align:center"> LEO

<p style="text-align:justify">I carried Jason to the infirmary where he continue shivering and muttering. Piper was crying and Annabeth and Nico ran to get Chiron. After an hour or so Will Solace, child of Apollo, got out of the infirmary and told us that he was going to be all right, that he was slepping and nedded to rest.

<p style="text-align:justify">I walked to bunker nine and there to my surprise was Annabeth with Nico.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Hey guys- I said

<p style="text-align:justify">-Oh hey Leo, How’s Jason? - Anabeth asked

<p style="text-align:justify">-Will says he’s going to be all right, he just need to rest- I said. Annabeth nodded.

<p style="text-align:justify">-This is awesome- Nico said pointing at the Argo II. –Is better than Princess Andromeda

<p style="text-align:justify">-What? - I asked. Princess Andromeda what’s that.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Luke’s ship or Kronos. I don’t know, it’s till confusing- Nico answered.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Oh- I whisper. I have heard from that Luke. Nyssa had told me that he had betrayed us, then Kronos became him and the he killed Kronos and himself becoming a hero.

<p style="text-align:justify">-So where’s Rachel?- Nico asked.

<p style="text-align:justify">-She’s coming tomorrow; you know she had to go to school- Annabeth answered

<p style="text-align:justify">-Cool, I haven’t see that trouble maker since you send me to find Percy- Nico said

<p style="text-align:justify">-What did you did all these time anyway? - Annabeth asked

<p style="text-align:justify">-Oh, I went to see Bianca and the others, also I kept an eye on Percy- Nico answered

<p style="text-align:justify">-What? - I asked. – You know where the roman camp is?

<p style="text-align:justify">-NO, I don’t, by keeping an eye on Percy I meant keeping an eye on his soul, you know checking he doesn’t come visit me the hard way- Nico said

<p style="text-align:justify">-You can do that? - I ask impressed

<p style="text-align:justify">-Yeah, but is not as cool as I thought first- he said

<p style="text-align:justify">-What do you mean? – Annabeth asked

<p style="text-align:justify">-Well, is kind of creepy that the dead appear to you asking for directions- He laugh –But I’m already use to it, after all, besides Annabeth, Percy, Grover, Rachel, Tyson and Chiron, the living doesn’t talk to me- he added trying to hide any trace of sadness in his voice.

<p style="text-align:justify">-That’s not true- Annabeth said

<p style="text-align:justify">-Come on Annabeth you know that I scare the hell out of this people- He said sad. I waited for Annabeth to say something but she didn’t so I said –Come on I just met you and I already think you are cool and not creepy, no offence but Annabeth is the only one here that scare the hell out of me.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Me, why? - she asked

<p style="text-align:justify">-Have you seen yourself in the mirror when you get mad? - I asked with a smirk pretending a shiver. In the meen time Nico was laughing so hard I didn’t hear when Piper came in.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Leo, Jason’s awaking- she yelled

<p style="text-align:center"> JASON

<p style="text-align:justify">After I collapsed a lot of memories of me and a Gwen came to me. My head hurt like crazy. Gwen had been my friend since I enter the roman camp. She was a beautiful and smart daughter of Venus. She also was Bobby’s girlfriend. Oh my God, Bobby must be crushed. After a lot of memories came to me, Juno also came.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Jason, you need to be strong, remembering is only going to get worse, you need to control it or it will be our doom- she said and I woke up. I was in the infirmary and Leo, Annabeth, Piper and Nico where in front of me.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Hi- I said a little woozy

<p style="text-align:justify">-What happened, you scared the crap out of us? - Piper said. Her eyes were red and puffy. She had definitely being crying. She was so beautiful, I wanted to kiss her but what if I had a girlfriend then I would have crush to hearts at the same time.

<p style="text-align:justify">-I’m fine, I just got a lot of memories of Gwen, too much for my brain to handle, I guess.- I said resisting the urge to kiss her.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Sorry, I’m usually the bearer of bad news- Nico said

<p style="text-align:justify">-It’s okay… so how did she die? - I asked him.

<p style="text-align:justify">-She, mmmm, she was killed by the anemoi thuellai in the Grand Canyon- He whispered.

<p style="text-align:justify">-She was looking for me, wasn’t she? - I asked

<p style="text-align:justify">-Yeah, she was with a daughter of Mars, a son of Apollo and … a guy- he answered. But I could feel he was lying, he was nervous and sweating.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Nico? - Annabeth asked before I could say anything else

<p style="text-align:justify">- Oh Gods, I forgot, I need to talk to… Bianca- He started shadow traveling but Annabeth grabbed him –What? - He asked innocently

<p style="text-align:justify">-What aren’t you telling us? - she asked with her knife at his throat.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Annabeth don’t be ridiculous, first you would never kill me and second I’m not afraid of the death, I know them better than the living- he said but I could see that he was nervous

<p style="text-align:justify">-Nico di Angelo tell me in this moment or you will be visiting your father sooner than you think- Annabeth threatened him.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Percy was the other guy that was there- he said

<p style="text-align:center"> JASON

<p style="text-align:justify">Nico told us how Percy didn’t have any clue of who he was. He didn’t remember his name, father or anything. Everyone thought he was a roman and he was still staying in the Mercury’s cabin. He had become friends with Bobby, Dakota, Hazel, Reynna and of course Gwen. They had gone looking for me, when Reyna got a dream of my fight with the ventis. Annabeth was now sobbing in Nico’s shoulder while he told her he was sorry. In that moment Chiron and Rachel entered the cabin.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Nico!- Rachel yelled and hugged him

<p style="text-align:justify">- Hey crazy girl, I thought you weren’t coming ‘till tomorrow- he said after she led him breath.

<p style="text-align:justify">-I wasn’t but…..What happened to you? - she asked me worried.

<p style="text-align:justify">- I got defeated by my own memories- I answered her

<p style="text-align:justify">-I see- she said with a trace of green in her eyes

<p style="text-align:justify">-So why are you here? - Piper ask

<p style="text-align:justify">-Oh, as I was saying I came because I got a prophesy- She said in a mysterious way.

<p style="text-align:justify">-This can’t be good- I said sitting up

<p style="text-align:justify">-Well it is a prophecy for each one of you- She said

<p style="text-align:center"> PIPER

<p style="text-align:justify">We were in the rec room around the pin pong table waiting for Chiron and Rachel. Clarisse had her boots on the table, Nico was talking with Thalia and Annabeth about their death friends, Leo was playing with some wires, everyone else was trying to wake up Clovis and I....well I was watching Jason. He looked so sad, maybe he liked Gwen, maybe she was his girlfriend …. oh if only I could talk to him.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Everybody listen- Chiron said entering the room –Mrs. Dare brought us some interesting prophecy. Rachel...

<p style="text-align:justify">Rachel walked in and green smoke start surrounding her. Then the terrifying voice of the oracle spoke threw her:

<p style="text-align:center">Children of the sky

<p style="text-align:center">Together you must fly

<p style="text-align:center">With winsome and strength

<p style="text-align:center">And death if I most say

<p style="text-align:center">The dove and forge will helped you

<p style="text-align:center">Find the way to your home

<p style="text-align:center">But beware the lost one

<p style="text-align:center">Since he doesn’t know

<p style="text-align:center">Who is he and where his from

<p style="text-align:justify">After that spooky lines Rachel collapsed and Nico grabbed her before she hit the floor. Seconds later Rachel woke up and sat in her usual sit.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Well, now it’s time to discussed the prophesy- Chiron said

<p style="text-align:justify">-Well obviously the children of the sky are Thalia and Jason- Lou Ellen from the Hecate’s cabin said.

<p style="text-align:justify">-I agree- Chiron said

<p style="text-align:justify">-Winsome is a child of Athena and strength from Ares- Leo said

<p style="text-align:justify">-I agree- Clarisse said –That’s why I think is Annabeth and myself

<p style="text-align:justify">Everybody nodded then I said- Does death symbolize that someone will die?

<p style="text-align:justify">-No- Annabeth said. Everybody was surprised except Chiron

<p style="text-align:justify">-I agree- Nico said. –Death is me- Everybody was chocked but all of us knew he was right.

<p style="text-align:justify">-That leaves us to the dove and forge, who obviously are Piper and Leo- Will Solace said. Once again everybody nodded. Then nobody said anything, but everybody knew what the next lines meant.

<p style="text-align:justify">-The lost one is Ppp….Percy, and he is the one we have to beware because he doesn’t know he is a Greek. - Annabeth finally said breaking the silence

<p style="text-align:justify">-I agree- Everybody then said.

<p style="text-align:center"> PIPER

<p style="text-align:justify">When I entered my cabin the most monstrous thing crossed my path. Of course I’m talking about Drew.

<p style="text-align:justify">-So, what did the mortal freak girl had to said? - She asked me trying to make me mad.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Nothing that you cared, but since I am going away in two days I will warned you that if you try to take over this cabin I swear to the Gods that you will pay and Mitchell you are in charge.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Yes, Piper- she said. After I came from my quest Mitchell had surprised me. She wasn’t scared of Drew anymore and neither vulnerable of her charm speaking. I put my PJs and fell asleep and of course I had some pretty nice dreams.

<p style="text-align:justify">In my dreams a lot of soldiers were fighting, then I focused on one soldier, he wasn’t wearing armor. He had black hair, green dazzling eyes and muscular body. He was very good with his sword and fought better than anybody I knew including Jason and Clarisse. He must have been Percy Jackson. He was fighting and then everyone stop. The girl I had seen in my last dream with Jason came running with a blue flag. Then I notice that they were playing the capture the flag game. Percy Jackson ran toward the girl and hugged her, and then all their teammates united to the hug. I woke up exalted, I knew what the last line of the prophecy meant and I also knew that Annabeth had realize this since she first heard the prophecy. Percy Jackson did gain the roman trust but since he doesn’t remember anything he thinks we are the enemy.

<p style="text-align:center"> LEO

<p style="text-align:justify">I was adding final details to the ship when I noticed that Annabeth was sleeping in the floor. She had extreme circle under her eyes and dry tears in her face. Why had she being crying? She was supposed to be happy, after all in two days we were going to the roman camp. In less than a week she was going to see Percy again. That’s when it hit me. How stupid I was. Percy wasn’t Percy; he was a stupid roman experiment. He was being train to think and act like them. To hate his family and his girlfriend, he was becoming one of them. Oh, how much I hate Hera. First she ruined my best friend life, then she destroys Annabeth’s and Piper’s hearth and now she’s destroying Percy. All she cared when she made this stupid plan was about her sorry ass. She didn’t see the major risks of this plan. She was as stupid as Drew. In that moment Annabeth started moaning and make a face that said to me HELP. I saw her terrified face for a couple of minutes and then without standing it anymore woke her up.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Annabeth, are you all right? - I asked her

<p style="text-align:justify">-Yes, I’m fine… I was just dreaming about the titan war. - She said sad

<p style="text-align:justify">-So… are you ready for Capture the flag tomorrow? We have to beat the hunters... if they win again, I swear Nyssa is going to kill them- I said to her trying to cheer her up. Of course it didn’t work. Since I met Annabeth I haven’t cheer her up once, now that’s a shame.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Yeah... sure, see you tomorrow- she said and left to her cabin.

<p style="text-align:center"> LEO

<p style="text-align:justify">I went to sleep to my cabin after weeks without even step in. Everything was how I had left it. All my clothes was on the floor, designs of the Argo II all over the place and a lot of tools. I took a bath, changed my clothes and lay in bed. I fell asleep immediately. I had a weird dream, I was in the Empire State building and there was Annabeth, a satyr, a dead demigod in the floor and two other demigods fighting. One of the demigods that was fighting had black hair, green eyes and a celestial bronze sword, the other one had blond hair and golden eyes. Then the image vanished. Once again I was in the same room but this time there were giants in it, I saw my dad so I soon realize they were the Gods. Percy Jackson one God in a Hawaiian T-shirt said; after a lot of appreciation of the Gods he was granted immortality and he didn’t ACCEPT IT. Was he crazy! Who the hell was showing me this? Then the Queen of the Gods appeared.

<p style="text-align:justify">-I am- she said like if it wasn’t obvious.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Why? - I asked her

<p style="text-align:justify">-So you could see why my plan will work. - She said.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Still don’t get it- I said

<p style="text-align:justify">-AHHH, Percy reject our offer because he wanted to stay with Annabeth, he loves her, there’s no way in hell that when he sees her, he wouldn’t remember her.- she yelled at me angry

<p style="text-align:justify">-I hope you are right Hera, now let me sleep! - I yelled her back and enjoyed the rest of my dreamless night.

<p style="text-align:center"> JASON

<p style="text-align:justify">It was capture the flag an Annabeth was like crazy telling Nico and me the strategy. She would use me as bait, since Thalia will think I will be the one guarding the flag. The part of the plan that confused me was that Annabeth was letting Nico guard the flag ALONE. Was she crazy? I know that he can shadow travel and fight but even if he could disappeared that wasn’t helpfull if at least two hunters came for you.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Annabeth- I called her after she finish talking. –Can we talk alone?

<p style="text-align:justify">-Sure- she said and we walk to somewhere nobody could hear us.

<p style="text-align:justify">-I know Nico is a good fighter but, don’t you think is a bit risky he guards the flag alone?

<p style="text-align:justify">-Oh Jason, you don’t know what that kid is capable of, he could beat all of us including the hunters alone-. Then she left leaving me speechless. That wasn’t possible, it’s not like he have an army under his sleeve.

<p style="text-align:justify">When the game start I went to my place and as Annabeth had said in less than five minutes, Thalia was beside me.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Hello little brother- she said and then froze when she noticed the flag wasn’t with me

<p style="text-align:justify">-Why are you so surprised sis? - I asked teasing her

<p style="text-align:justify">-Oh, Annabeth you haven’t chance a bit- then she yelled. –Hunters, Nico is the one guarding the flag, first group go there!

<p style="text-align:justify">At least nine hunters including my sister ran toward Nico. I knew Annabeth said that Nico could take care of apparently an army but I wasn’t taking my chances so I ran after them. Boy I was wrong. When the first hunter get to where Nico was I saw the weirdest thing ever. When the hunter pointed him with her bow, instead of fighting her, Nico nail the sword in the ground and yelled SERVE ME. In that moment all Hades break loose, literately. Twenty death warriors attacked the hunters. Nico was pale but fight too and when more hunters came more death warriors he summoned. I jump in the fight and minutes later Annabeth had the hunter’s flag. We had won, after all these years we had won.

<p style="text-align:center"> JASON

<p style="text-align:justify">After we won the game, the death warriors disappeared and Nico collapsed. Now we were in the infirmary and Thalia was still speechless. I saw Annabeth for the first time laugh genuinely.

<p style="text-align:justify">-We won; in your face Thalia- she told her for the fifteen time.

<p style="text-align:justify">- I can’t believe it, I’m going to kill this kid, I can’t believe we save him from the manticore so he could then defeat me- Thalia said still in shock. Annabeth and I were laughing at her expression. –It was worth it tough- she then add.

<p style="text-align:justify">-What? - Annabeth asked confused

<p style="text-align:justify">-Well, I missed your smile- Thalia said hugging her.

<p style="text-align:justify">-I wish Percy could laugh at you to- Annabeth said then

<p style="text-align:justify">-Yeah, Percy and I don’t have good history in Capture the flag- Thalia said

<p style="text-align:justify">-What do you mean? - I asked

<p style="text-align:justify">-Well, before I became a hunter, Annabeth had been capture by Atlas, so Percy and I make the strategy to defeat the hunters, we loose because Percy didn’t did what I said and I kind of electrocute him- Thalia said. –And then he kind of hit me with the hold creek- She add laughing

<p style="text-align:justify">-Wow, you guys must have been pissed at each other- Leo said

<p style="text-align:justify">-Nah, we fought all the time, it was just because we had differents way of thinking- Thalia said

<p style="text-align:justify">-Yeah, you didn’t kill each other that day because the crazy mommy oracle came to talk with Zoe- Nico suddenly said making all of us jump. He sat up and stretch.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Since when you are awake? - Piper ask

<p style="text-align:justify">-Oh, I have heard it all, I just couldn’t move, I was to drain, guess I’m out of practice

<p style="text-align:justify">-What do you mean? - Leo ask

<p style="text-align:justify">-Well, I shouldn’t have collapse. I have summoned a hundred more before, without getting evem tired. - He answered

<p style="text-align:justify">-Why would you summon hundreds of death people? - Piper asked confuse

<p style="text-align:justify">-For the titan war, obviously- he said

<p style="text-align:justify">-Oh- Piper said

<p style="text-align:justify">Then in that moment Clarisse enter the room with a wild expression in her face.

<p style="text-align:center"> PIPER

<p style="text-align:justify">Outside the infirmary a creature with enormous orange paws and a tail was attacking the camp with missiles.

<p style="text-align:justify">-You both had to mention it, didn’t you? - Nico told Annabeth and Thalia

<p style="text-align:justify">-What is it? - Leo yelled

<p style="text-align:justify">-Is the manticore- Annabeth answered

<p style="text-align:justify">-Oh great- I whispered

<p style="text-align:justify">We took our weapons out and start fighting it. He quickly turned and looked at us.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Well, well, well, isn’t that my favorite student, now I should have my revenge- he said and charge straight at Nico. Nico jumped out of the way but Annabeth wasn’t so lucky. The manticore held her in his paws while she was trying to hurt him with her knife.

<p style="text-align:justify">-This is not happening again- Thalia yelled and charge at the monster. Leo was trying to burn him but got knock out with the tail, he was out. Jason tried to get Annabeth by flaying but got hit by a missile, he was out as well. Nico had collapse for summoning the death and Thalia and Clarisse were in a pretty bad shape. That only left me, a stupid daughter of love that only had a stupid knife. So as stupid as I am I charged at the monsters, after what felt like an eternity Jason was beside me fighting as well.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Piper control him- Annabeth yelled

<p style="text-align:justify">-How? - I yelled back

<p style="text-align:justify">-Use your powers- Jason told me and so I did. I put all the power I had in me when I yelled STOP!

<p style="text-align:center"> PIPER

<p style="text-align:justify">Good news the manticore stopped. bad news he collapsed in the Zeus cabin. The cabin was completely destroyed. Annabeth got out of the manticore’s paws and stabbed him in the hearth, immediately it turned to dust.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Stupid monster- she said as she cleaned the dust off her.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Jason, I’m so sorry. I have destroy your cabin, I am useless- I said crying, begging for forgiveness

<p style="text-align:justify">-Hey, you save us all, you are not useless, and you are a hero. Besides that cabin was creepy anyway- He said hugging me. I felt myself blushing and quickly we separated.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Great, Gaea is already sending monsters after us to prevent us from destroying her sorry ass- Thalia said

<p style="text-align:justify">Jason got Nico and Leo into the infirmary where Will Solace start healing them.

<p style="text-align:justify">-They will be as good as new in the morning, now go rest, after all tomorrow is your quest, the world is in your hands- Will said an our later to us. The only think I could think of was, Great we have in our hands the power to decide whether the world keep existing as we know it, Yay!

<p style="text-align:center"> LEO

<p style="text-align:justify">After Will let me leave the infirmary, I set foot to bunker 9, so I could inspect every single detail of the Argo II, after all I didn’t wanted the ship falling of the sky. I checked every part of it. Thankfully it was in perfect condition for tomorrow’s trip. Annabeth and her cabin had helped us design everything. Inside were over fifteen rooms, with at least five bunks each, a kitchen, a war room (where we were going to planned strategy), a room with all the weapons and of course an infirmary. The infirmary had all ready being filled by the Apollo kids with nectar, ambrosia and other curative equipment. Of course the Ares cabin had work on the weapons room and Athena’s one in the war room. The war room was definitely the best room in the entire ship. It had a shield that could reflect scenes in other places, weapons, maps, plans and a lot of Greek and roman mythology books. We had all being trained to fly the ship, except from Nico, who arrived this week. Everybody was eager to fly the Argo II except for Thalia, that swore being sick during the entire trip. How can the daughter of the sky God be afraid of heights? Anyway, since the ship was perfect I headed to my cabin so I could sleep before our long trip to the roman camp.

<p style="text-align:center"> LEO

<p style="text-align:justify">I was waked by my alarm clock at seven am, though we didn’t leave ‘till eleven, but I wanted to make sure, once again, that everything was perfect for our quest. I got out off bed, dressed, grabbed my backpack and tool belt and left to the bunker. When I enter bunker nine I almost dropped dead. The ship wasn’t there, the Argo II had disappeared. I got out running to tell Annabeth, but realize that the ship was in the coast. How the hell? W e were supposed to get it out of the bunker at ten- I said myself. I walk to it and saw a note attached to it. Thought you guys might need help, love Hera- I read.

<p style="text-align:justify">-How did you get the ship out? – Annabeth asked behind me. I handed her the note and heard her whisper, it was about time she did something useful.

<p style="text-align:justify">It was already eleven and we were all saying our goodbyes. The activities had been canceled and everyone was in the coast to wish us well, then Chiron told us it was time to leave. I was very nervous, What if it didn’t fly? What if it falls? What if…

<p style="text-align:justify">-Are you okay men? - Jason asked, driving me away from my nonsense thoughts.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Yeah, sure, oh by the way, I was thinking that you could control the winds while I started it off.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Yeah, sure. - He answered. And so we did, I start flying the Argo II while Jason controlled the winds. It worked, the ship was perfect. I felt awesome and successful for the first time in my life.

<p style="text-align:center"> JASON

<p style="text-align:justify">We have been flying for an hour now. Annabeth was telling me her newest strategy, that changes every half hour, and I was just not listening. Leo was flirting with Thalia while she talked to Clarisse and Nico, I could see that if Leo keep it up he was soon going to be blast off the ship, literally. Then I noticed Piper all alone in a corner.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Yeah Annabeth that’s perfect- I said to Annabeth, leaving her talking alone and walk over to Piper.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Hey, are you all right? - I asked her.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Yeah- she answered in a whisper.

<p style="text-align:justify">-What’s wrong? - I ask her seeing how she was drowning in her thoughts.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Nothing, is just that...

<p style="text-align:justify">-What? - I ask her once again losing my patience

<p style="text-align:justify">-I was thinking about Percy Jackson

<p style="text-align:justify">-What about him? - I asked confuse

<p style="text-align:justify">-Well, Nico said he doesn’t remember anything and I had a dream in which he was playing capture the flag with the romans like if it was normal.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Still don’t get it- I admitted

<p style="text-align:justify">-Don’t you see, when you awake in that bus and came to camp half blood you always had the feeling you weren’t supposed to be here, but Percy looked in my dream like he didn’t feel this way.

<p style="text-align:justify">-And that’s a problem why?

<p style="text-align:justify">-Oh my God you are dumb, what if instead of trying to get the Romans to like Greeks he becomes one of them, then he would think of us as the enemy.

<p style="text-align:justify">-I see your point, but Juno did this, so the camps cooperate with each other I’m sure she has everything under control- I said to her but it sounded like I was trying to convince myself. If Percy Jackson think of us as the enemy we are doom. That’s when Leo yelled driving me away from my thoughts, like I had predicted he had been blasted by my big sister.

<p style="text-align:justify">- Thalia, what did you do? - I ask taking the wheel of the ship

<p style="text-align:justify">-Im sorry, my powers got out of control- she apologize worried.

<p style="text-align:justify">-He’s ok, just unconscious- Nico informed and took him to his room. We all start laughing at the scene when three old winged ladies appear in the boat.

<p style="text-align:center"> JASON

We all drew our weapons and pointed them at the old ladies. I was about to ask them what they wanted but Annabeth cut me off.

-What the hell are you three doing here? - Annabeth asked furious. The old ladies smirk and Piper ask, what are those?

- Kindly ones, Hades’ chief servants and tortures, the furies- Clarisse answered with disgust in her face.

- That’s right and now to answer Jackson’s puny friend question, we come as the lord of death messengers- The one that seemed to be the leader answer.

- What’s the message Alecto? –Thalia asked the creature.

- It’s a warning actually- the one in Alecto’s right said

- What is it already? - Piper asked and I could feel the power in her voice.

-Don’t you dare try to charm speak us silly girl, or you will visit our home.- I stood closer to Piper protectively and ask the Dirae, furies in roman mythology, what was the warning.

- Okay, the warning is: “Daughter of Zeus if what happened to my child in your presence happens this time, you shall feel Hades wrath once again and this time you won’t be able to return.”- The fury in the left said and I knew she was the one that avenge murder. I look at Thalia, wondering what the hell the Dirae was saying, and saw that Thalia was white as chalk and trembling. In that moment Nico came back and flinch when he saw the scene.

-Alecto, what the hell are you doing here? - Nico said with an angry tone.

-Our work here is done- she said before the three of them fly away.

-What the Hades just happened? - Nico asked to nobody in particular.

-The furies where just delivering a message from Hades, nothing important- Annabeth answered but I could see she was pale too.

-What message? - He asked

- Nothing, just that we make sure to defeat Gaea- Annabeth lie but it wasn’t good enough, and if I noticed I’m sure that Nico, that knows her since he was ten, notice too.

-How’s Leo? - I asked him interrupting his next question and saving Annabeth and Thalia from who the Pluto knows what?

-He’s fine, should wake up in half hour or so- he answered giving up.

-Oh, good, mmm…Thalia may I talk to you a sec? – I asked my sister. We walked to my cabin and waited ‘till she sat down to ask her what the warning meant.

- It’s nothing- She whispered

-Thals, that old freak just delivered a death threat, it’s something! I know that we don’t know each other very well but you are my sister and I care about you, I want you to trust me. Please, talk to me. – I said to her lifting her shin, so she would look at me.

- Do you remember when I told you when Annabeth was kidnapped by the manticore while we were trying to save Nico?- she asked in a whisper

-Yeah, sure- I answered

-Well, besides Nico we saved his sister too, Bianca

-The one that’s death? - I asked

-Yes, when we came to camp we got a quest and Bianca came with us… she died in Hephaestus junkyard. - Thalia sobbed

-Hey, its okay, Nico won’t die and Hades won’t send any monster after you again- I said hugging her

- Bianca was so brave, she gave her life to save us- she whispered again

-She was a hero then, I’m glad you told me

-Me too, you are a great brother- She said smiling –By the way, this doesn’t mean I won’t kick your ass now and then- She added with a smirk.

-Good- I said.

<p style="text-align:center"> PIPER

<p style="text-align:justify">Annabeth was driving the ship while I talk to Nico and Clarisse. Nico had tried to get the information of the furies out of us but Clarisse threatened him with her spare. Now they were talking about the titan war. I didn’t knew what to say, so I was thinking about him, what else is new. I loved the way he protected me from the furies, he was so sweet.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Hey guys we are having a meeting in five minutes- Jason said coming up with Thalia. I remembered how pale she and Annabeth had been when the furies told us Hades warning.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Ok, I will put someone to drive the ship but it won’t last for long- Nico said summoning a death ship captain and giving him instructions.

<p style="text-align:justify">We were all in the war room waiting for Jason to bring Leo. When they finally arrive we start the reunion.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Well as you all know, in approximately 8 hours we will arrive San Francisco- Jason started. -The plan is to go there and try to find some kind of magic that will lead us to the roman camp. Anabeth?

<p style="text-align:justify">- That’s right Jason, since he haven’t got any help- she said looking at the sky – We will try to find magical clues. I have also been studying places where Greek demigods have disappeared and found nothing. - She added a little ashamed

<p style="text-align:justify">-That’s okay, also I have been worried because Juno warned me in a dream that we would encounter a lot of monster and nothing has passed. It’s weird that Terra hasn’t tried to stop us. - Jason said

<p style="text-align:justify">-It is, I have thinking of that too, maybe is because Gaea only have power in the Earth and we are in the air- Clarisse said

<p style="text-align:justify">In that moment something hit the ship making it tremble, why did he have to mention it?

<p style="text-align:center"> PIPER

<p style="text-align:justify">We all ran outside and what we saw make me trembled. There in the sky was a huge dragon.

<p style="text-align:justify">-What the Hades is that?-Leo yelled

<p style="text-align:justify">-Oh my Gods is Python, Gaea’s daughter and Typhon’s mate. - Annabeth yelled back and I could see she was scared, not a good sign.

<p style="text-align:justify">-How do we kill it? - I ask

<p style="text-align:justify">-We don’t- Clarisse yelled. Now I was truly scared, if Clarisse admitted she couldn’t face it, we were doom.

<p style="text-align:justify">-I though Apollo had slain her and got her power of prophesy- Jason yelled

<p style="text-align:justify">-Well obviously, she came back- Nico yelled back. In that moment the dragon landed in the Argo II turning into a half maiden snake.

<p style="text-align:justify">The monster charge at us and we run out of her way. Thalia and Jason start throwing lighting at it but she didn’t seem to notice. Nico had summoned an army of hundred soldiers, he didn’t faint, but the warriors weren’t useful either. I tried to charmspeak, but the monster was not vulnerable to my powers. Leo was throwing fire at it but like the lighting it didn’t work. Since our powers weren’t working we took our weapons out and unite to the fight beside Annabeth and Clarisse.

<p style="text-align:center"> LEO

We were death. We had scratched the monster a little but it was too strong and fast. We were all bleeding and Piper had been knock out by the monsters tail. It seemed that the most we fight the stronger it got.

-This is useless, we need a plan- I yelled

-I am trying to think, but only a god can defeat it- Annabeth yelled

-Okay then- Nico said and then yelled- You better help or I will kick your ass when I die dad-

-You are not going to die- Thalia yelled with such determination that Nico got distracted and push by the monster.

-Everybody start praying, is our only hope- Annabeth yelled

-Mmm... dad a little help here- I start praying but Clarisse start yelling

-IF YOU GUYS WANT US TO SAVE YOUR LAME ASSES FROM GAEA, YOU BETTER HELP-

We wait but nothing happened. Piper and Nico were coming back to the fight when an intense light left us all blind.

<p style="text-align:center"> LEO

<p style="text-align:justify">Right in front of us appeared out of nowhere a golden bow and arrow. We all saw the confusion in the monster’s face and maybe a little scare.

<p style="text-align:justify">-It’s Apollo’s - Thalia yelled taking it.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Guys I have a plan- Annabeth yelled – Thalia do your thing as we distract it. We all charge at the monster at once from different directions, then Thalia release the arrow that went through the monsters heart making it a pile of sand. Piper run and hugged Jason then they pulled apart realizing the scene they were making. Apollo’s bow had disappeared leaving a note that Thalia read out loud.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Hope it helped cousins

<p style="text-align:justify">Ps: When you visit Olympus asked me the sonnet I maid about this fight

<p style="text-align:justify">-Well that was fun- Clarisse said leaving us with our jaws on the floor –What? We survived, didn’t we? - We all started laughing and retelling our battle with an indestructible monster.

<p style="text-align:center"> JASON

<p style="text-align:justify">Since we decided to land the ship to make sure the dragon hadn’t made any damage to it, we are in a coffee shop in Los Angeles. Thalia was in line with Nico and Clarisse, Leo was with Annabeth checking the Argo II and I was with Piper making guard outside the shop. I could not help noticing how beautiful Piper looked. Her hair was tied in a ponytail and she was wearing her traveling clothes. She had a small cut on her face and a black eye as a souvenir from our confrontation with Python, but she still looked perfect.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Why are you staring at me? - She asked with a little smirk.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Oh, nothing- I said looking away

<p style="text-align:justify">-You are weird- she decided after studying me for a couple of minutes. –So, did Thalia tell you what the kindly ones meant? - She asked, after five minutes of awkward silence. I was going to answer her but Thalia and the others arrived with our coffee and we start walking back to the ship. As soon as we arrive we knew something was wrong. Leo’s tool belt was on the floor besides Annabeth’s knife and they were nowhere to be seen.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Annabeth, Leo! - Thalia yelled

<p style="text-align:justify">-Where the hell are they? - Clarisse asked with her spear, ready for an attack.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Nico are they…- Thalia start but Nico shook his head.

<p style="text-align:justify">- I can’t sense them, they are still alive- Nico said, but I felt a chill in my spine for the way he said still.

<p style="text-align:center"> JASON

We divided to search for them; Piper and I went east and north, Clarisse and Thalia west and south and Nico went way downstairs. We agree to meet in an hour in the ship and send an Iris message if we find anything. Piper and I search everywhere but found nothing. At the end we went back to the Argo II, where the Thalia and Clarisse were waiting for us.

-Find anything? - Thalia asked. The hope in her eyes banished when I shook my head.

-Where the hell could they be? – She told herself scared

Nico arrived and he had a worried expression in his face.

-What? - Piper asked

- I found a kid that told me that he saw them been taken by a hundred hand creature.

- But the only Hekatonkheires that exist is Briares and he would never do something to Annabeth- Thalia said

-I am getting tired of saying this but obviously Gaea’s other hundred handed ones sons came back- Nico answered

-Where they were heading? - Piper asked

-Into a house near the coffee shop, come on- Nico said and we ran after him.

<p style="text-align:center"> PIPER

<p style="text-align:justify">So we are running to save Annabeth and Leo from a creature with 100 hands without any idea how, great. We enter the house quietly and saw Leo and Annabeth unconscious and tied upside down.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Here’s the plan- Clarisse started –Nico hide in the shadows and distract him, Jason and Thalia attack, while Piper and me untied those idiots.- She said and so we did. Nico hide in the shadows and start yelling at him: Hey idiot, what do you think you are doing? Clarisse and I started untying Annabeth and Leo, while Jason, Thalia and Nico attacked the creature. Jason and the others were defeating the monster as we tried to wake up Annabeth and Leo; the plan was perfect, things were going great, so of course everything got screwed up. In the door another hundred hand one appeared and rapidly lunged over my friends. It grabbed Thalia’s neck and threw her to the other side of the room.

<p style="text-align:justify">- I’m Cottus, son of the Earth and Sky, AND NOBODY attacks my brother or me and live to tell about it- the new monster growled and Clarisse and I attacked it. We fight with the monsters for a long time but we didn’t have the surprise factor anymore and they were strong and gigantic. From the corner of my eyes I saw death warriors and lighting.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Hey uglies- I heard Leo yelled suddenly and he threw fire at the monsters. It didn’t affect them but the distraction was enough, Clarisse immediately nailed her spear in Cottus body, he dissolve in sand as well as his brother when Jason cut his head off with his sword. We all ran to Thalia that was bleeding from her forehead.

<p style="text-align:justify">-She’s fine, but we need to get her to the ship and cover that cut- Nico said. We all nodded. Jason picked up Thalia, Nico picked Annabeth and Leo was supporting in Clarisse and I, throwing that fire after being unconscious had affected him. When we got out from the house a lot of people stare at us, but we were used to be stared as if we were freaks, after all we were not normal kids, we were heroes.

<p style="text-align:center"> PIPER

I was on guard with Clarisse while the other slept. I got to admit that I didn’t like the idea of flying the ship at first, but now that I’m doing it is great. An hour passed and Clarisse was flying the ship now. I was bored. Two hours had passed since the others went to sleep and Clarisse hasn’t said a word.

-What are you thinking? - I finally ask her, my ADHD kicking in.

-Nothing, just thinking about the things I missed from camp- I frowned, Clarisse was a bully, what the hell would she missed about camp, doing wedgies.

-What do you miss?

-Chris

-Who is Chris? - I asked her, I have been at camps for months and haven’t met anyone called Chris.

-My boyfriend, he is staying with his mom and going to school, he is staying two weeks in camp, now I won’t see him - I listened to her said with my jaw dropped. She saw this and start laughing, yeah Clarisse actually laugh. –That’s the same way my father reacted when he found out, he couldn’t believe that I was in love, less of child of Hermes that had betrayed us and gone insane.

-Betrayed, insane?

-Long story, I just told him that he had also betrayed us by keeping the lighting bolt- she said confusing me –You should sleep a little, for a daughter of Aphrodite you look terrible. I laugh at this but didn’t protest; I was super tired. From the moment I lay down I fell asleep. I woke up with the sound of a scream.

<p style="text-align:center"> LEO

<p style="text-align:justify">I was enjoying my dreamless night when I heard the scream. One night, is that to much to ask- I though running out of my room. Everyone was running out of their rooms to the surface and when we got there, we saw a huge eagle dragging Clarisse in the air.

<p style="text-align:justify">-You better get of me or I willsend you to Tartarus- Clarisse was yelling. Piper was trying to help but the eagle was too high.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Let me guess, that’s another son of Gaea- I told Annabeth.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Actually that’s the Caucasian Eagle, son of Typhon and Echina, it used to feed of Prometheus' liver. - Annabeth answered

<p style="text-align:justify">-Gross- Thalia said

<p style="text-align:justify">-Sorry for interrupting your interesting chat, but MY liver is about to get eaten by this stupid eagle, so if you might shut up and give me a hand- Clarisse yelled

<p style="text-align:justify">-Ok, how do we kill it? - I ask

<p style="text-align:justify">-Oh, this one is easy; Heracles killed it with an arrow, so Thalia if you might...- Annabeth said.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Well, of course- Thalia drew an arrow and in seconds the monster was no longer there.

<p style="text-align:justify">-I’m going to sleep- I said turning around to return to my cabin.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Actually, you and I are on guard now- Jason said looking at his watch. -Oh perfect- I thought.

<p style="text-align:center"> LEO

<p style="text-align:justify">We were already in San Francisco and Annabeth was giving us a speech about how arriving here was the easy part, even if we almost die three times, and now the hard part came, which was finding the camp while we were in Gaea’s territory.

<p style="text-align:justify">We walked for hours in the street and didn’t find any sign, helpful ghost or, gladly, any monster.

<p style="text-align:justify">-I can’t see anything magical in here except mount Othrys- Thalia said kicking a rock. –Annabeth, why do you have that evil look, as if you have a plan, I won’t like? - she asked looking at her best friend.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Because I know who is going to tell us the camp location- She said smiling

<p style="text-align:justify">-Please don’t be them...- Thalia repeat over and over with her fingers crossed while we just stand there confused.

<p style="text-align:justify">-We are going to ask the Hesperid nymphs - she said

<p style="text-align:justify">-Of course we are- Thalia said giving up

<p style="text-align:justify">-Will someone explain to us what the plan is? - Piper asked

<p style="text-align:justify">-We are going to the Garden of the Hesperides- Annabeth said pointing across the bay, past the Golden Gate, in the distance, a single mountain rose up above the cloud layer.

<p style="text-align:justify">-We have an hour to get there- Clarisse said

<p style="text-align:justify">-Why? - I asked

<p style="text-align:justify">-Because the hesperides are the nymph of sunset, we can only enter the stupid garden as day changes to night- Thalia answer with a hateful voice.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Why do you hate the hesperides? - Piper asked

<p style="text-align:justify">-They are partly responsible for Zoe’s death- Nico said

<p style="text-align:justify">–Zoe was their sister and they force her to fight Ladon, the dragon guarding the apples of immortality, alone; it poisoned her. - Thalia said sad.

<p style="text-align:justify">-How are we going to get there so fast? - Piper asked

<p style="text-align:justify">-With the ship obviously- Leo said

<p style="text-align:justify">-Ok, here we go, to the place I swore never to step foot again- Jason whispered but we all heard him.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Why? - Clarisse asked.

<p style="text-align:justify">- That’s where some of my friends die, where I defeated the titan Krios; that’s Atlas home.

<p style="text-align:center"> JASON

I hated going back there again. I had visions in my head of the war and couldn’t control them, I almost screamed twice.

-Are you okay? - Piper asked me while we got off the ship.

-Yeah, just a headache- I answer, giving her half smile while pressing my temples.

-Here we are- Annabeth said pointing at the fog.

-Great- Thalia said sarcastically

We walk into the mist and then the fog cleared. I was still on the side of the mountain, but the road was different. There was a path in front of us that lead us to a meadow of shadows and flowers. The garden was beautiful, but I knew better. Even at this distance I could feel the power Atlas Mountain radiates and there was also the dragon guarding a five story tall apple tree. Then four women appeared from the shadows

-Well, well, well, I knew you will come back… the temptation of immortality is too much for you- One of the silky black hair girl said, giving us a dangerous smile.

-We didn’t come here to get any apples or fight- I said stepping beside Thalia in the front.

-How is it possible that this has not killing thee yet? Another friend perhaps…- Another Hesperid said pointing at Thalia.

- Déjà vu - Thalia said giving the hesperid a smile full of hate. -As I said last time, is tempting sometimes, but no, thanks. He’s my brother. - Thalia said

-So the romans and greeks have been united, you will killed each other eventually, is nature’s law- The first hesperid said and then added- And as I said last time, there are no friends here daughter of Zeus, only enemies. Go back before you have our sister’s faith hunter.

Annabeth grabbed Thalia by the hips so she wouldn’t attack the hesperid, but nobody grabbed me. In five seconds my sword was at the hesperid throat.

-Jason, put your sword down- Piper tried to charm speak me, but I fought it. -Now- she said again with more power and without knowing what I was doing I put my sword down.

-We only want to know where the roman camp is- Leo intervened

-And what makes thee think we will tell you? - One of the girls said.

-We will accept any challenge- Annabeth said glaring at them. The hesperides talked among themselves and then came back.

-We will tell you the roman camp’s location if the hunter grabs an apple from the tree without getting killed and without any help- the hesperid that seemed to be the leader said.

-No way- I said but Thalia cut me off

-I accept- she said

-Thalia no! - Annabeth said –Ladon can’t be defeated

-Luke did it- Thalia said with confidence

-He is Hermes son, he is a thief

-Heracles was a son of Zeus, like me, and he did it

- He had Zoe’s help, you are alone- Annabeth whispered with tears forming in her eyes

-I will be fine- she said ending the discussion

-Thals…- I started

-Jason I will be fine- she said looking at me in the eyes. -Swear on the river of Styx that you would keep your promise. - She added looking at the hesperides

After the hesperides swore on the river of Styx, my sister, the only family I had in the world walked toward the dragon. <p style="text-align:center"> JASON

<p style="text-align:justify">I hated myself for letting my sister do this. The dragon was huge; his skin was thick and had more heads that I could count. Thalia walked confidently towards it and started saying. - Hi Landon, I know you like lamb’s meat. The dragon looked at her hissing. Then she attacked the dragon confusing him and taking it by surprise. The dragon recovered fast and pushed her with its tail. I led out a whimpered, but Thalia stood up with Aegis in her arm and started attacking the dragon again. It was no use; she couldn’t defeat it and less by herself.

<p style="text-align:justify">-She can’t do this- I whispered to Annabeth

<p style="text-align:justify">-I know Thalia, she has a plan- she said but it sounded like if she was trying to convince herself. The dragon pushed Thalia and she hit her head with a rock. She was bleeding but stood up and I could see she was pissed. Then something strange but amazing happened. Thalia started glowing in blue and lighting erupt from the sky, hitting Ladon and leaving him unconscious - The blessing of Zeus- I heard Clarisse whispered. Thalia ran for the tree, grabbed and apple and ran back. I hugged her until the hesperides came back; they were shocked. Thalia started laughing and gave the apple to them.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Take this I don’t need it, I’m already immortal, I am a hunter- Thalia said to the speechless nymphs, with a great smile.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Now, where is the camp? - Clarisse asked them, pointing her spear at them.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Golden Gate Park...- an hesperid start saying but I interrupt her

<p style="text-align:justify">-Through the waterfall- I said remembering the location

<p style="text-align:center"> PIPER

<p style="text-align:justify">We are camping at the corner of the waterfall in Golden Gate Park, since we decided to arrive the camp in the morning, “Only an idiot would attack in the morning”- Jason had said.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Ouch! - Thalia said while Annabeth cleaned her wound. –You have good timing Jason, you could have remember before I almost suicide, that would have been nice- She said to her brother with smirk. Jason was in front of her pressing his temples.

<p style="text-align:justify">-I’m sorry- Jason answered

<p style="text-align:justify">-No biggie- She said shuddering again while Annabeth apologized.

<p style="text-align:justify">-So, how are we going to enter the camp? - Leo asked.

<p style="text-align:justify">-We fly with the ship through the waterfall- Jason answered

<p style="text-align:justify">-Oh, getting wet is going too be awesome- Clarisse said sarcastically. <p style="text-align:justify">-We don’t get wet. The waterfall is an allusion created by the mist; if you concentrate you would realize it. - Jason said. I look at the waterfall and then realize it wasn’t there anymore; instead there was a path leading to mountains in the back. <p style="text-align:justify">Jason and I took the first watch: we were in silence. I was happy that we have found the camp but sad of what it represent. I could see Jason eagerness. He wanted to return to his old life, and we were only a chapter of it.

<p style="text-align:justify">-What are you thinking? - He asked making me jump.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Nothing, I am just happy we could help you find your home- I answered, hiding the pain in my voice.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Yeah, mmm….but to tell you the truth I’m a little scared- he said, surprising me.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Why? - I asked confused

<p style="text-align:justify">-Well, I still don’t remember anything … it will be weird to be welcome by people I once knew.

<p style="text-align:justify">-I’m sure you will remember everything once you step foot in the camp. After all the intention of Hera erasing your memories was to unite the camp.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Yeah…- he answer lost in his thoughts –Listen, you should sleep. I will wake you if something comes. I stared at him but in the end went to sleep.

<p style="text-align:justify">I had the same dream of Percy Jackson and that girl in capture the flag. He looked so comfortable, for a guy that lost his memories.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Brace yourself- I voice that I recognize to well behind me said, making me jump.

<p style="text-align:justify">-What? - I asked my mom

<p style="text-align:justify">-Honey, you have to be strong or the world as we know it would disappear. I cant believe I’m saying this, but in this occasion, there are things more important than love. - And with those last words the goddess of love let me sleep.

<p style="text-align:center"> PIPER

<p style="text-align:justify">-Okay, everybody hold on- Leo yelled as he started driving the Argo II through the waterfall. We all close our eyes when he drove us through the waterfall, but like Jason said we didn’t feel anything. When we flew pass the mountains we saw the camp, it was amazing. It was a lot like ours except that it didn’t have the basketball court or the rock climbing wall, but the fighting arena was enormous. While everybody was amazed I glanced at Jason and saw him pressing his temples.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Are you okay? - I asked him worried

<p style="text-align:justify">-No, my head hurts like hell- he said giving up and passing out. We laid him down as he muttered stuff.

<p style="text-align:justify">-His okay, just remembering- Nico said but I was ‘till worried.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Guys- Annabeth yelled from the mast. We run to the rail and saw hundreds of demigods prepared for an attack and in front of them was Percy Jackson. Leo landed the ship in front of them and we start getting out with Jason supported by Nico and Leo.

<p style="text-align:justify">-Percy! - Annabeth ran to him but immediately stop, as her boyfriend, the guy she loved pointed her with his sword at her throat.

<p style="text-align:justify">-One more step and you are death- He said
