HEY! I am back! I did not lie when I said I would post today! I did post today! YES! So compared to the last few chapter this one is relatively small, but that's okay because I shoot for 1,000 words, minimum. This chapter is 1,968 words. So I think I did okay. Is kind of crappy sorry, it was rushed...

Jason POV

July 22-23

Stupid Jason, I thought, You should have brought weapons for your dead friend so she could fend for herself.

I mean, if I had know I was going to run into Annabeth, I would have come prepared with daggers, and swords, and… other stuff. That way when I go scout ahead I would know she was protected. But she told me she hadn't fought a monster since she "died" so I thought was safe.

Stupid, stupid Jason!

We were walking east hoping we ended up somewhere because at the moment we saw nothing but trees. Lots and lots of trees.

"Maybe I should go ahead and see if there is a road before we continue walking in the forest." I suggested.

"Yes, please, go get lost in the woods so we never have to see you again." Sara whispered.

Ignoring Sara, Annabeth said, "Yeah, sure."

I flew off following darkest part of the sky. Going the opposite direction of the sunset. I passed trees. I wasn't even sure we were in California anymore. Maybe I just haven't been in this part before. The trees made me homesick. They all reminded me of the woods in Camp Half-Blood.

Especially all the pine trees.

Gods, I hadn't even thought about Thalia's tree and what it had become. On our way out, we had grabbed the fleece and (as it was his duty) Peleus followed. A few counselors, grabbed stuff out of the attic as we were leaving. I know everyone was allowed drawstring bags but nothing bigger, as we couldn't fit everything in the vans. Everyone smashed as much as they could and got out of there. Piper had to charmspeak the Aphrodite campers into only grabbing the essentials. Otherwise, they would have brought the whole cabin. I knew some of the campers, at the time had trunks at Camp Jupiter. Piper and I, for example, spend our school year over here in California, so a lot of our stuff is in Camp Jupiter. A few kids have families over here.

Thinking about this, made me think of Piper. Which made me think of Camp Jupiter. And that made me think of Camp Half-Blood. And the cycle went on and on and on.

Until I heard a scream.

I recognized that screams as Sara's.

Well, like I said before…

STUPID!

...

When I got back, I was amazed.

Nate was sitting by Sara, who only had shirt rolled up. Nate's hands were also covered in blood, did I mention that?

But that wasn't what I was amazed about.

Annabeth was nuts.

She faced a Hellhound head on, with no weapons.

"What are you doing!?" Annabeth yelled as she punched it in the face, "Waiting for the grand finale!? Help me, guy with the sword!"

The Hellhound was already charging and Annabeth jumped out of the way. She was right I did have a sword. I flew down next to her and handed the sword to her, "Take this, I'll get Sara out of here and come back to fight."
