Chapter 3

ugh, you guys will hate me if i put in reynico, and no solangelo. buut reynico.. ;^; oh well

reyna-

When I heard about what happened to Nico, I was prepared to murder whoever hurt him. I was completely aware of the fact that nobody knew who put him into the sleeping trance, but I would wait forever to get revenge.

"Reyna!" Hazel yelled running up to me. Fear was evident on her face. "Hazel, whats wrong?" I asked. She swallowed, "It's Frank. Something is wrong." I immediately followed Hazel back to where Frank was.

"Hazel wait! What happened?" I urgently asked. She tugged at her hair, "He's just, not moving. He is not responding to anything. But he looks awake, his eyes...they're wide open." Nobody told her about Nico yet. That means I have to tell her that both her boyfriend and brother are dying. Lovely.

"Okay... lets go." Hazel practically dragged me to infirmary. When we reached the door, through a window, I could see a limp Frank, eyes wide. A son of Apollo was attending a large black cut on his chest. "Poison" I whispered, and Hazel nodded.

"Hazel, can I speak to you?" I asked her, and she agreed. I led her to a cafe in New Rome, and decided to tell her there. It was mostly empty, which was good. I took a deep breath.

"Hazel, have you heard about the events that happened in Camp Half-Blood?" She shook her head. Why do I have to do this? I sighed, "About a week ago, a camper was struck in the middle of the night, and the same thing that happened to Frank, happened to him."

"W-who's the camper?" she asked, squinting a little. Gods, why me. "It was Nico." Her eyes widened a bit, and she put a hand over her mouth. "What is happening to them" she said quietly. "Nico, his skin. It's turning grey. Do you have any idea why?" I knew that was not the best thing to do, ask her why her brother is turning into a corpse at a time like this, but if she knew, that could be valuable information.

"No, I don't" she whispered. I swore I would make whoever did this rue the day they were even born. "Who do you think they are targeting?" she asked me. First Nico, then Frank.. "I thing they are doing it in a pattern. Greek, Roman, Greek. We need to warn Annabeth" I told her.

"Do you have any left over drachmas from Camp Half-Blood?" I pulled a few out of my pocket, and we went over to the bathrooms. She put her hand under the faucet, and water spayed everywhere. I opened a window, and sunlight shined onto the water.

"Hold on, I got this. Give me the drachma" Hazel told me, and I handed her the gold coin. She threw it into the water. "Oh Fleecy, do me a solid, show me Annabeth Chase at Camp Half-Blood." Fleecy?

An image appeared in the water. Annabeth was by the lake, reading a book written in Greek. "Annabeth!" Hazel yelled. She turned abruptly, and waved slightly. "Hey Hazel, Reyna. What's the matter?"

"It happened to Frank" Hazel said, "the same thing that happened to Nico." Annabeth dropped her book. "Oh my gods. Any way you two, along with Frank can get to Camp Half-Blood. Will Solace, a son of Apollo, found a medicine that slows the poison. But it is made out of plants that will lose their touch. You need to come quick."

Hazel glanced over at me, and I nodded. We could find a way. "But Annabeth. I believe that whoever is doing this, is doing it in a pattern. Greek, Roman, Greek, and so forth. The next attack may be on the Greeks" I told her. She pursed her lips.

"You are right. Unless they don't attack again" but she realized how stupid that sounded. "Nevermind" she shook her head and laughed. "We never get a break." but the water for the IM dissipated, before I could reply. I hope the owner won't get pissed that there is water all over his floors.

"She's right" Hazel muttered, "we never get a break." They are correct. Though, that's called being a demigod. "What are we going to do?" I mumbled, "It's not like we can drag Frank over 2,900 miles." Hazel chuckled, "Very exact. And you are right, we have to find another way. Maybe we can use one of the camps vans?"

I shook my head, "I don't thinks so, remember last time?" Hazel shivered. That was a very bad day. "Oh don't worry" a voice said, and I could hear the smirk in..his? voice. "I can take you." Ugh, why. "Leo! What are you doing here?" Hazel said hugging him.

"Um, Hazel. Frank is that way" he pointed to the camp. "Leo why on earth are you in the girls bathroom?" I sighed. He blushed, and stepped out. "Nice to see you too, Potty Praetor. You look good with your hair down." I scowled.

"And how are you going to 'save the day' oh wise one?" I asked sarcastically. He grinned, which made him look even more like an imp. "I brought a little friend. How do you feel about riding bronze dragons?"

*'*'*' [leyna is br/otp]

"Are we seriously going to carry Frank in a bed sheet?" I asked him. "Well what do you suggest, princess. Carry him in Festus's stomach?"

"Don't call me princess"

"Guys!" Hazel yelled, and she turned to Leo "How fast can Festus get us to Camp Half-Blood?" He thought for a second. "The sun is already going down, so about dawn tomorrow." I stared at him, "If it takes that long, how'd you get here in less than an hour?"

He blushed [Something he does a lot surprisingly], "I was looking for someone....again" he muttered, "But anyway. About 20 miles into the Pacific, I got an IM from Annabeth asking if I could take you guys back to Camp. So," he shrugged, "here I am." I had to resist the urge to ask who he was looking for. Not everyone's fatal flaw is loyalty. Curiosity is a big one, too.

"Okay. Thank you Leo" Hazel said. "Now about Frank" he began, "I have to drag a shirtless Frank onto a sheet, which I will have to stare at for a while which will make me feel very self-conscious." Hazel shot him a look, and he put his hands up in surrender. 

*'*'*'

"Ready" Leo grunted, "And damn Frank, you weigh a ton." Hazel rolled her eyes, and slapped his shoulder, "Just shut up and go." And that's how Leo started humming Shut up and Drive, by some lady named Rihanna. The. Entire. Time.

I'm proud of myself
