Lily's POV
I pull away from the embrace and smile softly, before realising something. This feeling...I've only felt it once before - with Thalia...but she joined my mother and the hunters, after Zoe died...something about Jason reminds me of her...reminds me of Thalia...like they're connected somehow...

"Lily, you okay? What are you thinking?"
I blink back to reality and look at them. "Yeah, I'm okay. I'm just thinking...it's nothing. Where to next?"

I can feel their eyes on me, questioning my answer, but to my luck, they don't ask. And instead, Leo answers with "Good question...we don't know."

"We landed in this fenced off area after you...after you died. We don't know where we are, or where to go next."

I look at Jason as he says this, hearing the slight hint of hesitation in his voice, as if he thought he'd lost me forever. "Okay, we'll figure something out." I look at piper and Leo. "For now, let's get back into the air. We're not safe on the ground."

The three of them agree and we climb back onto Festus, Jason sat at the back, me sat in front of him, and Piper and Leo sat in front of me. We take off into the sky, heading for out next destination, when - PEW! A streak of red hits the dragon, and we start plummeting.

Jason's POV

As we fall from the sky, I grab Lily, Piper and Leo, and pull them off Festus, using my powers and floating us to the floor. We get to the floor and Leo looks at Festus's head, that got shot off by the beams (Festus's entire body got shot to pieces and is now scattered over the garden), and kneels down next to it. He promises to use his head for something in the future, I can see Lily getting confused about what Leo means. A gust of wind lifts the head off the floor and takes it somewhere.

While this happens, I look around, seeing turrets on the top of the fence. "Lasers..."

They all look at me as I continue. "Festus must've triggered them...and took the blasts..."

We all look at the mansion that we landed next to and decide something. I look at the others. "It's getting late, we'll stay here."
We start making our way to the door, not knowing what dangers we could face.
