Frank


Unlike the others, Frank landed on his feet. Calypso and Leo fell on top of each other. If Frank didn't know any better he'd say they did that on purpose.

He studied his surroundings. They were back in Camp Jupiter, there were Romans everywhere.

Frank saw a boy who looked exactly like Jason. Except younger, and less determined.

Leo and Calypso stood up, "what is this place?" Calypso asked.

"Camp Jupiter," Leo said grimly, "they hate me."

"Why?" Calypso asked.

"I attacked them," Leo said.

Calypso didn't press him, but she looked slightly confused.

"What are we doing here?" Frank asked.

"Dunno," Leo said, "maybe we should go in."

"Are they dangerous?" Calypso asked.

"No, I'll protect you." Leo said, Calypso smacked him, and Frank rolled his eyes.

"Come on," Frank muttered, he was about to walk into Camp Jupiter when Hephaestus appeared.

Frank and Leo bowed but Calypso glared at him.

"You!" She hissed.

"Yes, me," Hephaestus said.

"What are you doing here?" Calypso said rudely.

"I'm here to tell you that you can't go in there." Hephaestus said.

"Why not?" Calypso asked.

"Because it would change everything." Hephaestus said, "you have to stay away from there."

"Why-" Calypso started, but Frank cut her off.

"Yes, Lord Hephaestus."

"Oh, and Leo?" Hephaestus said, looking at his son. "Beware you powers, they may lead to her doom," he said indicating to Calypso.

And with that he disappeared.

Voices came from Camp Jupiter.

"We should go in." Calypso said.

"No." Leo said firmly, "we'll camp out outside Camp Jupiter and wait to see if anything happens."

Frank couldn't argue with that. But obviously Calypso could.

"Why?" Calypso asked, "he's just trying to get us killed! We should go into the camp and see what happens, and why he doesn't want us there!"

"Calypso," Leo said in a soft tone, "look, I know you loath my dad. But, you have to believe him. It may be our only chance."

"It's not!" Calypso yelled angrily, "it is not our only chance!" And then she stormed off.

Leo sighed "we might as well follow her."

"Yeah," Frank said.

And they walked after her.

Leo was worried. They had looked everywhere, but they still couldn't find Calypso. They had looked everywhere, from the cafe to the forest.

"Leo, I honestly don't know where she is." Frank said.

"We have to find her." Leo said, "this is all my fault."

They looked for another half an hour (at which point Leo had burst into flames) and still no luck.

It was getting late. Too late.

"Leo, monsters are going to find us." Frank said.

"We have to find her." Leo said.

Frank looked up, "found her."

Calypso was sobbing in a tree. Somehow she had managed to climb a tree while crying her eyes out.

"Come on Calypso, we have to build a camp." Leo said.

Calypso sniffled and jumped down. Leo was pale.

Calypso and Leo were really good at building camps. Frank easily fell asleep.

Frank was in Camp Jupiter, Jason and Reyna were discussing something. This was when Jason was the praetor, so a while ago.

A small ball of light appeared and went out the door. Frank followed it outside, there he saw Leo, Calypso, and himself sleeping.

He realized that dream wasn't in the past. It was in the present.

Frank woke up to the sound of battle.

"About time you woke up!" Leo yelled, he was throwing fire at hellhounds shielding Calypso who didn't have any weapons.

Frank grabbed his bow and shot one of the hellhounds, and sent it to Tartarus.

More hellhounds appeared.

"We have to retreat!" Leo yelled.

"To where?" Frank yelled back.

"Camp Jupiter!" Leo yelled, "it's the only way we'll live!"

"Come on!" Frank yelled running toward camp.

They barely made it in. Frank lost his shoe to a hellhound at the last second. Luckily before he could become dog-chow, a group of Romans appeared and started fighting the hellhounds.

"Follow me!" Frank said to Leo and Calypso, "and keep your voices down!"

They snuck into an old weapons shed Frank knew no one ever went in.

"What's all this about?" Leo asked.

"I know what's going on!" Frank whispered, "we went back in time! This is when Jason is praetor!"

Leo and Calypso gaped at him as if he were crazy.

"You're kidding," Leo said.

Frank shook his head, "we have to stay out of sight or else we might accidentally destroy the world."

"One question," Leo said, "why did we get Jason's past? Why not Percy's? Percy's life is much more epic."

"I'm not going to answer stupid questions." Frank said.

"Well how about this question," Calypso said, "why is a giant right outside the door?"
