Last chapter:
Annabeth saw something strange. There was a note on the ground. She pointed it out to Jason and they walked over cautiously. It was folded up so they would have to touch it to open it.
It didn't look dangerous. It was just a piece of paper that looked slightly dirty and old. Annabeth picked it up and waited for something to happen. When nothing did she opened it and started to read.
When she had finished reading she looked confused. Jason was curious and worried about what was in the note. "What does it say?" Annabeth handed it over and thought about what was in the note.
Jason began to read it out loud.
"Seven of the Prophecy I hope you know,
of what awaits you, friend or foe,
The Doors of Death will only close,
to someone brave at heart who knows,
No good or evil, black or white,
Someone who isn't afraid to fight,
If it's Wind against Water, or Fire against Death,
Then everyone will die fighting with their last breath,
If Wind, Water, Knowledge and Beauty,
Fire, Death, War and Duty,
Can work together,
Then this fight will only get better,
But beware, remember your strengths,
Because only then can you prevent,
The war history will never know,
Because the gods will never show,
That they aren't as powerful as they believed,
Fight hard and don't be deceived
R.E.D"

Jason
"I get most of it, but why is 'Red' on the bottom of it. And is it a prophecy?" Leo was talking a mile a minute and it didn't look like he was going to stop any time soon.
Jason shook his head. While Leo was a great friend, sometimes Jason felt like knocking him upside the head.
"Leo!" Piper said angrily. Leo stopped and looked around. "What?" he asked. "Nothing" Piper sighed. Annabeth spoke next "Let's concentrate on the note. I'm sure most of you are confused about what is on the note"
They all nodded and Annabeth continued. "It is mostly about working together, using our strengths and the categories you have to fit to close the Doors of Death.
The last part, R.E.D, means Rachel Elizabeth Dare. Our Oracle. It isn't a proper prophecy, just some rhyming clues."
Most people nodded in understanding but Leo still looked confused. "I understand that, but how did it get on the boat, and how did the fire appear?" he asked.
Jason, and the rest of the room, looked at Annabeth for answers. She shrugged. "I'm as in the dark as the rest of you"
Travis and Connor gasped and pretended to faint. 'Well, probably pretended' Jason thought to himself. 'With them, you never know' Jason concentrated on the conversation going on around him once more.
Leo seemed to be in a state of shock, Piper looked a bit shocked but shrugged it of and started to poke Leo on his arm.
Clarisse wasn't surprised, and Thalia was the same. Clarisse had just continued to insult Annabeth and Thalia hadn't reacted at all. Jason himself was rather surprised but didn't let it affect him.
No one could know everything, and Annabeth certainly didn't. "Well I think we should concentrate on getting to the Roman camp alive first" Thalia suggested.
When everyone had agreed to that someone noticed the time. "Guys, it's pretty dark out. Does anyone have a watch?" It turned out Travis and Connor had some watches in their pockets.
It wasn't hard to figure out where they came from. "Hey, that's my watch!" Jason shouted when they had taken all the watches from the Stolls.
He had spotted it in the small pile of other watches. It had been on his wrist and he hadn't noticed it was missing until he had gone to check the time yesterday.
Well, now he knew what happened to it. Luckily, or unluckily for him, Jason's watch had been the only one that had been stolen on the boat. The others were from people at camp Half-Blood.
When they looked at the watches they found out it was twenty-five to eleven. They decided to go to bed and get some rest. Jason had a feeling they would need it.
Somehow, he knew tomorrow wouldn't be a very good day. When he finally managed to fall asleep, it was full of nightmares. When morning finally arrived, he felt like he had only gotten an hours sleep. He got changed and walked into the kitchen to get some breakfast.
Everyone else was awake and the only person that looked like they had gotten more sleep than him was Clarisse and even she didn't seem ver awake. Jason was staring to get worried. If they were attacked they wouldn't be able to fight to the best of their abilities.
If the person or thing that attacked them was strong, there wasn't much of a chance of them surviving. Later, he would think to himself, fate was a b**ch.
Sorry it's so short. I wanted to post something fast, but I promise the next chapter will be longer. Please review if you like it.
