House of Hades

Chapter 11-Frank

Frank

You know when you go to a funeral of someone you didn't exactly like? You where mean to them, talked back and when they are dead you regret everything? That is how I felt right now. Leo, the guy who I was a constant jerk to is now crazy. O! But there is more! When the guy I was a jerk to got possessed he shared some more wonderful information with me; my mom is supposably alive! My mom; the women who practically raised me and was missing in action is alive!

She was my best friend when I didn't know I was a demigod. I had no friends; except my my mom. She was the one that kept me sane all these years.... She was now alive? Is this one of Gaea's tricks? Is she using my mom is a way to lure me into a trap? Because if she was; it was working.

I paysed back on deck. Gods, my mom was alive...

"Hey Frank," Hazel said walking up to me. She looked sad.

"What's wrong?" I asked her.

"Nothi-," she paused and sighed.

"Leo... He's so sad and angry...," she sighed.

I nod in response and look at the ground. I feel Hazel take my sweaty hand.

The whole 'Leo' subject really bothers me. I mean, we gotta find someone to heal him... I mean right now he's a mess...

"Frank, relax. Him being angry isn't your fault," Hazel said looking at me.

I snarled and looked at the ground.

"Hazel, he was angry at me BEFORE he got possessed. Obviously he's going to still be mad at me," I sighed.

She didn't say anything. She studied my face with her big brown eyes.

I sighed and released my untwined hands from her grasp. I ran my hands through my hair and breathed in and out.

"I'm sorry.... It's just... A lot has been happening....,"I sighed.

She nodded at me.

"I understand," she said before walking below deck. She understood that I needed some time to think. Mostly about Percy and Annabeth.

Percy and Annabeth falling into Tartarus. I guess you could say I'm in some weird morning stage right now. Pretty much I'm thinking that Percy and Annabeth are away somewhere. Not in the depths of Tartarus and ready to be destroyed by potentially thousands of monsters.

Yeah... They are just at camp, I thought. Not about in a place that can drive your sanity out in a second....

Yeah... They are just at camp, I thought. Not about in a place that could drive your sanity out the door in a matter of minutes. Sure, I thought. "Camp."

The second thing is Leo. Leo- the guy I was competing with Hazel for is now insane. I now knew that Leo wasn't really an enemy... He was now more of a broken person that needed help.

'You should straiten things out with you two' said a voice in the back of my head.

I cursed to myself and knew that voice was right; Leo will just stay angry at me until I talk to him. He needed to be at truths. I sighed and took my hands off the rail of the boat which where firmly grasped to firmly grasped to.

"Hey Leo. Can I talk to you?" I called up to him on deck.

He grumbled in response. I shrugged and walked into the control room.

"Hey Leo can I talk to you?" I repeated politely.

"Mmm mmm," he responded his eyes locked on a touch screen in front of him.
