THE DARKWOOD TWINS

Austin comes back (perfect timing, Austin)

Ariana P.O.V

Piper explained everything. Frank was trying to look brave but I can see that he was really scared.

" We'll send a small party to camp Half blood to protect it. I'm guessing he wants revenge on all demigods?" He asked.

"Probably..." I said. Through the IM I saw a furious girl with obsidian black eyes and hair stomping towards Frank screaming "Zhang! Did you take my spare quiver of bow and arrows!" Frank started sweating. we started laughing a little.

"That's Reyna! Gotta go, bye! be safe!!" he said quickly and swiped his hand through the IM.

"Looks like Zhang needs safety more than us!" I said. Everyone laughed.

"Ok, so what's the plan?" I asked. they stared at me. oh!! I just remembered. this was my quest which therefore makes me the leader..

"Ok. i have two options. 1- Me, Piper and Leo continue our quest while Aaron and Jake goes to camp half blood to rest since they came all the way from Mt. Rushmore and my brother is wounded. Healed but i could say that he's still not healed." I said.

"What! No! I'm coming with you! I want revenge as much as you do!" Aaron said.

"Well, you didn't let me finish did you?" I asked him. "Option 2- We all go to Mt. Rushmore and destroy Hyperion once and for all." I said.

"I suggest the second one. we're gonna need all the help we can get" Leo said

"yeah" Jake said.

"then it's settled. oh wait we only have 2 pegasi. Austin flew away!" I said

"Seriously. there are thousands of names in the universe and you chose Austin?" Aaron asked

"That's what Austin said!"

"hold on I'll try to call him" He said. "Austin!.... Austin!.... YO! AUSTIN!"

Suddenly Austin came over.

"Austin where were you??" I asked

"Sorry dude! I saw this big apple factory.... and well... it was love at first sight!" Austin said

Aaron stared at me.

"Why are you staring at me?"

"You can talk to HORSES???" He asked.

"Well, yeah! can't you?"

"No!"

"Maybe you can talk to owls?" I asked... I turned around to think. that's when I saw the building burning.

"Guys! look!" I pointed at the building

"There might be people inside!. We have to put that fire out. NOW!" Leo said. he sounded partially angry..... oh.... his mother...

Aaron and I went to the front of the building and started spraying water. it wasn't enough. Aaron held my hand and we sprayed water so hard if we weren't holding hands we would have been blown away. the fire finally went out. we all went inside to see if there were any people inside. thank the gods I thought. We were about to go out when we heard a sob coming from behind us... We turned around to find this big statue of... wait a minute... that was the other guy Hyperion kidnapped! what was his name again? Hello? no Helium? no... HELIOS!. we went near the statue to find a woman crying...

"uh ma'am? are you okay?" Piper asked.

"My brother... he's missing!.... wait I know you 2...." she said while pointing at Leo and Piper...

"We were two of the seven" Leo said.a

"Oh right" The woman said. She pointed at Jake, Aaron and me. "Who are your'll?"

"I'm Jake"

"I'm Aaron"

"And I'm Ariana"

"No offence, but who are you?" Jake asked

" Selena... I used to be the titan of the moon before I gave up my position to Artemis"

"Ma'am, I think I know where your brother is... your brother is Helios, right?" Aaron asked.

"where is he?"

"He is in Mt. Rushmore. Kidnapped by Hyperion..." her face turned pale.

"No! that can't be!" She said.

"Why?" Leo asked

"Well, Hyperion is our father" Selena Said.
