The House of Hades

Chapter 4- Sticks and Stones

Jason

"Jason, you down here?" called a voice. . Sweet and Meldous. Piper.

"Yeah,"

Piper came down the stairs, cradleing a drachma. Greek Money.

"Hey Sparky," she said, taking a seat next to him and Leo, who was still asleep. "Um, we kinda made a decsion. The drachma is for an iris message to Camp." Panic welled inside Jason.

"Okay."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

20 minutes later, the had awakened Leo, who was wide-eyed. The 5 demigods and Nico gathered in the Galley, to use the sink.

Piper held up the coin. "O iris, goddess of the rainbow, accept my offering," she threw the coin in the sink. "Show me, show me Chiron at Camp Half Blood."

The mist thickened, showing the Ping POng Table at Camp. All the head counciliers were there, along with Chiron. Great.

Just great.

"Hello Leo, Piper, Jason. You two must be FRank and Hazel. And it's nice to see you again Nico." Chiron welcomed. He gazed behind the demigods. "Where's Percy and Annabeth?"

Here we go.

"They're not with us, at the time." Leo muttered.

"You mean they're dead?!" Clarrise barked.

"Um, worse then that, actually." Nico stumbled.

"Could you be more descriptive?"

So they all explained what had happened ever since New Rome. They explained Frank's stick, Hazel's gems, Percy, Hazel and Frank's quest, the firing of new rome, everything leading up to Tartarus.

"Oh," Chiron uttered. "That is quite-"

"STUPID!" yelled Clarisse. "THOSE IDIOTS! I KNEW THEY-"

"Woah, Clarrise, calm down." Piper charmspoke.

Clarrise sat down and wept. That was a surprise.

The other counciliers were stunned. Will ran out to inform the Campers. Jake Mason had tears spilling out of his eyes. He gazed at the picture of Percy and Annabeth on the wall.

"Well, I should-" *BOOM* Chiron was interuppted from a cry from outside. A girl stumbled inside with a bow. Her red hair had sparks in it. Probably from the Apollo Cabin.

"Chiron," the girl gasped. "It's, it's..."

"Atlanta, what's wrong?"

"It's the Romans."

Another boom shook the Big House and the connection disslolved.
