When Worlds Collide

Chapter Thirty-Six

 Annabeth laughed as she looked up from where she was leaning on Percy in the Big House, waiting for Hiccup, Astrid, Gale, and Clarisse to enter so that they could begin the meeting. The Hunters and Vikings were in opposite corners, while the cabin counselors were were situated around the room. Annabeth almost laughed harder when she saw that Travis and Connor were sitting in front of Clovis, the son of Hyperion, got in trouble for trying to draw on his face to see if he would wake up.

"Well, let's hope he learned his lesson." Percy said to Annabeth, making them both snicker a bit. She had just been telling Percy about her little "problems" with Peeta. They stopped when they saw Astrid storm in, going to join the Vikings without talking to anyone. Hiccup followed in soon after, red-faced and obviously upset. Whatever had happened after the sing-along must have gotten both Astrid and him worked up.

Clarisse came in just moments later, arguing something with Gale behind her. Katniss followed behind them, laughing.

"Can we get this over with and just get Posy please?" Gale asked, coming to a stop beside Katniss. At just the mention of her name, Gale's voice wavered.

"It's late as it is, so we are probably going to leave early tomorrow, but we can begin the meeting now that everyone is here." Chiron answered calmly "So, where is it that we are planning on attacking then?" He asked, going straight to what they needed.

"We believe that Posy, Gale's sister is-" Annabeth began, but Piper surprisingly broke through.

"She's at an island that Gale recognized from earlier on in their adventure." Piper told them "Surprisingly, when we had looked at my blade earlier, it actually worked with showing that it is where she is being kept at, rather than at this place you call 'the Capitol.'"

"Alright, and where is this place at?" Chiron asked, pulling out a map of the United States. Annabeth came over and pointed at an area right near North Carolina.

"From what we know, it is somewhere around here. It is most likely uncharted because it had no human residence anywhere on it from what we saw." Annabeth told him, going back to sitting next to Percy.

"There may not be any humans, but there are some things there that can beat the living daylights out of you." Gale said, putting a hand to his chest. Clarisse muttered something to him about using something on those wounds later, but he just rolled his eyes. "Not important." He mumbled. "Posy's my top priority right now, not my condition." This just made Clarisse roll her eyes.

"Okay, so we are going to need to leave early morning if we are going to get there in time." Chiron noted.

"What about Camp Jupiter then?" Someone to the side asked. Until then, no one had taken much notice to where a place had been made that mist was pouring out of to create an Iris-message to Camp Jupiter, the Roman camp, showing a man and a woman in with what Annabeth knew as praetor clothing over their Camp Jupiter.

"You guys can probably lead an attack on on the Capitol. It's not that far away from you by car and pegasus, since it's right in the Rocky Mountains." Annabeth told them.

"No, no attacks on the Capitol until we know that Paylor isn't able to handle it." Gale said, looking at the floor. "I heard word that she has a group of rebels stationed just outside the Capitol building, we could get Beetee to rally the districts, so more rebels may join her."

"Alright, maybe instead we can have Reyna and Hazel ride Arion there and I can fly behind them. If Camp Jupiter is needed there we can head there, you'll just have to send us an Iris-message" The guy offered. A few nods came from within the group, though Clarisse just looked annoyed by their presence.
