The Mark of Athena

Chapter 8

Sorry for the wait, writer’s block. Okay finally I was able to sit down and write, had like a million auditions and schedule cards, etc. this is Hazel next is Annabeth, their quest starts now and thanks for all the subscriptions/story alerts guys! Plus sorry if my prophecy sucked, it is really easy to figure out…oh well!

Disclaimer: I don’t own anything Rick Riordan does end of story.

Hazel

Hazel was freaking out. She did confess everything to Leo but she was still attracted to him. He was exactly like Sammy. Frank didn’t like him; it was as simple as that. She was pretty sure he was attacking Leo before the girls interfered their boy bonding time. He did it once. Enough about boys Hazel! I have bigger things to worry about like the apocalypse… instead, Hazel thought back to the time she spent with Annabeth and Piper. They got off to a great start talking about their boyfriends, school, family, and basically normal girl talk. Hazel could get used to that. She was stuck with Percy, the most clueless guy Hazel had ever met, and Frank, the guy she liked.

Great way to start a conversation. Anyways, Hazel was on her way to Hades’ Cabin. It was obsidian black with the torches lit with green fire. Nico got to design it and he did a pretty good job. The inside was clean and dark. One bunk looked slept in probably from Nico’s many outings. The prophecy burned in her mind.  Percy seemed spooked as well he even pushed them to their cabins as quick as possible. He didn’t even let Annabeth talk even though she was important somehow. It’s time to go to sleep, I can’t worry we have a big day tomorrow. We’re off to Rome…

“Rise and shine Hazel!” Percy bellowed. He barged in the cabin without a care in the world. He was smiling as if this mission was one long relaxing vacation. The other five were right behind him still not dressed and groggy. They were loathing Percy as he said each word.

“Why do we have to get up at four in the morning?” Leo asked sternly.

“Well meeting our doom is best to be saved while the sun is still shining, am I not right?”

“You’re a freak, you know that?” Piper mumbled.

“Yes, I’m told so every day. Now come on and get dressed. Breakfast will be ready soon enough.” With that everyone dispersed.

Hazel entered the dining pavilion and found to see Percy all alone at his table. She started to go his way but shook his head quickly. Hazel was hurt but Annabeth guided Hazel towards the Hades table. Apparently the Greeks sorted everyone by their godly parent. After a quick breakfast, Percy stood up on his table silencing everyone.

“Now the seven are heading to Rome today and we need you guys to guard the camp. Camp Jupiter is doing the same. We don’t know if anyone will attack but we need to do this. Better safe than sorry right?” no one moved an inch,”well that’s basically it so bye guys and hopefully we’ll survive to tell the story!”

The seven walked towards the ship slowly. Mainly it was because the Greeks were all trying to hug Percy and Annabeth. Soon they were all on board rising in the air thanks to Jason.

“That was one inspiring speech Perce…” Frank chuckled.

“Well I do my best.”

“Yeah of course you do.”

“Zhang what is that supposed to mean?”

“Nothing, nothing at all.”

“That’s what I thought.”

“Gods you can’t go one day without arguing can you?” Annabeth asked.

“It’s a habit; the Romans have that effect on you.”
