The Tale of The Lost Warriors a PJO/HP Crossover

Prison of Fear (Frank)

Hazel and I were sitting at the top of a huge hill in New Rome looking at the city. We'd decided to have a picnic.

Hazel was wearing a cute sundress. It was dark purple and had boho style to it.

She looked more beautiful than ever. I loved her so much.

"Frank?" she asked me. I hummed in response, "Do you feel like something is wrong?"

I wrinkled my forehead, "What do you mean?"

"I don't know. It probably sounds stupid...but I've just have a really bad feeling...like we should be doing something," she tried to explain.

I understood the feeling, I didn't have it though, "It's probably just post war nerves. Worrying that it isn't really over. But we defeated Gaea. Everything is okay."

She looked at me, "I know...but...why can't I remember how we did it?"

"Huh?" I asked.

I shifted to her knees and sat on her ankles looking at me, "Think about it. How did we defeat her. Can you remember? Because I don't remember the exact details. Like I know we weren't on the quest and stuff...but what happened?"

I thought really hard and realized no one ever explained what actually happened...to be honest thinking back on it...it felt like a fever dream.

"I hadn't thought about it...but for some reason...I'm a little glad I don't know all the details. Just that it is over. You know?" I surmised.

Hazel sighed and shifted again so she could lean on. me. "Yeah, as long as it is over. It crazy to feel relaxed though, with no looming threats hanging over our heads." We laid back and her head rested on my chest and we laid in comfortable silence.

I played with her hair and soon her breathing became very even. I knew she was asleep, I smiled.

But even though I told her I was glad I didn't know all the answers, her question and thought made me really think and I was honestly disturbed by how little I remembered about what happened last summer.

The more I thought about it the more I tried to think of who might remember. Then it hit me.

Vivian Goldstone.

Daughter of Veritas, the Roman Goddess of Truth.

Maybe she would know...or at least have some answers

*4 ~spicy~ hours later* (in the sponge bob voice thingy)

Finally, after searching for what felt like forever I found a head of short, curly, purple hair. She was sitting by the temple of Pluto, meditating....why? I have no clue.

"Hey, Vivian?" I asked calmly so I didn't scare her. She slowly opened her eyes.

"Hello, Franklin," she smiled sweetly at me. My name is not Franklin but it is what she calls me.

"Hi, I was wondering if I could ask you some questions concerning what happened last summer," I briefly stated.

Her face twisted into a frown and her eyes filled with fear, "I'm so sorry...I don't know if I can help you."

"What do you mean? I just want to know what happened...because...I can't remember, neither can Hazel. It feels like my memories and what I can remember aren't real. Please help me."

Vivian continued to looked more scared by the minute, as if she was watching a horror scene inside her mind and she couldn't escape. She looked at the sky then back at me.

Along with the fear, she look apologetic and sad, "Franklin...I'm so sorry I really am...but...I can't."

I studied her for a moment and realized that she was trapped...trapped in thoughts and fear...something was going on.

"Vivian...what is the date of my birthday?" I asked simply...I've never told her this.

Her face calmed and she looked at me sweetly, "June 5th, 1995."

"Vivian, I've never told you that before...why are you not able to talk about...the previous thing." I didn't say the actual event...not wanting to trigger her.

Her eyes widened a little bit, but since I hadn't actually asked her she began to bring her hand up pointing to the sky, the. she brought her hand to her lips and gestured like she was putting a lock on them.

She said one word simply.

"Fear."
