The Mark of Athena

Chapter 15

Let me state the obvious, I’m terrible at updating. It’s been what? A month exactly. This is chapter 15 so I say five more than my break which I’ve kind of already done…I’m so bad at this. Oh well and yeah I have my reasons. Braces are stupid and my mouth is in pain, end of the year projects are due, etc. but summer is almost here so yay more opportunities for me to write so don’t fret.

Lovebug109: I will try to update twice a week, if not then weekly. And thanks!

athenas daughter: AW thanks!!! And me being a writer…remind me in seven years.

Kat: It’s all a surprise and I’ve mentioned this before; I will not under any circumstances kill a main character. I will say no more on the matter I won’t reply if anyone gets it right or wrong so don’t worry ;)

Jason III

Jason woke with a start. It was still dark out as far as he could tell. Something just didn’t feel right. He went to go see if Annabeth was up. She was fast asleep. Jason was worried for her; she had her boyfriend taken away from her twice, had to save the world twice, and was now going crazy. He decided not to wake her and left her tent. Jason chose to visit Leo next, as predicted the guy was sleeping too. Next, he checked up on Frank.

“Hey Frank, you awake?” Jason asked before entering.

When he opened the door to the tent apart, Frank wasn’t there. Instead, his rumpled sleeping bag lay on the floor with no Frank in sight. That’s odd, where could he have gone? Jason decided it was best to wake Annabeth and Leo. They were in trouble.

Jason strolled over to their tents went a hand stopped him. He looked up in surprise to see Thalia stare back at him. Besides her was Hazel, Piper, and…Percy.

“Percy?! Where were you? This is insane did you know how worried we were especially Annabeth I can’t believe I was so stupid to let you go!” Jason kept on going off until someone smack him on his head.

“Dude shut up for a second you woke me and Annabeth up with all your screaming. We get it Percy’s here.” Leo grumbled impatiently. Jason stopped talking immediately and took in the scene before him.

“Annabeth are you okay? You’re not even yelling at Seaweed Brain.” Thalia asked cautiously. Everyone else seemed to realize this fact too and she just shrugged not really replying but staring intently at Percy.

“Annabeth dear I love you too but I suggest we search for Frank, don’t you agree?’ Percy asked in a very non-percyish manner.

Hazel tilted her head in confusion probably thinking he was off his rocker. Thalia just shook her head while Piper, gods she was beautiful, took a step back. Leo didn’t say anything and Annabeth was still analyzing him.

“Yeah I agree with Perce, let’s go. Any suggestions on which way we should head next to search for Frank?” Jason questioned but only one person responded.

Actually they just started leading the way. Percy was ahead of everyone seeming to know exactly where he was going. Something was up. Something happened when he disappeared. The Percy Jason remembered from two nights ago was a little frazzled. Frank was a little off too before he disappeared. Hazel was already hyperventilating

Piper was trying to calm her down. Oh gods why am I so crazy in love with her? Did I just say love…I have to tell her forget Percy and Frank for a sec Jace. He forgot all of the problems and slowed down a little to be next to Piper. She stared at him for a few second before sighing and shooting Leo a look signaling him to go distract Hazel.
