The 6 After The 7

Eleven

Here (Well, Almost)

As I woke up, I felt a pair of arms wrapped around me. I turned around to see Noah with his eyes closed smiling at me. I smiled back, giving him a peck on the lips and started to play with his curly, short hair. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, before we left, he cut his hair so now it's short and curly instead of it being long. 

Anyways, we just laid there for a while until Nico knocked on our door, telling us that we were about 10 minutes until we got to Greece. We changed, me wearing all black and Noah wearing all white.

We walked downstairs to see everyone eating. I sat down and got a croissant and iced tea. A bit old fashioned, but oh well. As we finished eating and I went into my room, I got an Iris message from Piper. "Hey, Pipes!" I said. She smiled as I noticed she was in the Zeus cabin.

 "Hey, Kuuipo. I had a dream last night that the giants were in Rome, not Greece. They plan to attack you guys in a couple hours. If you guys don't get there in time, they're going to kill their hostage. It's-" she was cut off as if someone didn't want us to know who it was. Soon the connection came back and she said, "But anyway, then the dream changed and it was of the titans and that they were slowly getting to New York, about a few weeks away. Some force is slowing them down, we don't know what, but if you guys get back in time, you can help us."

I nodded as Nico yelled from below, saying that we were here. We ended the IM and I walked out to the deck to find out that we just had to stock up on supplies. I explained to them that we had to go to Rome instead, which would take at least 3 hours. I told them what Piper told me and how we could get back to camp in time to help with the other war. 

Nico, Noah, Logan, and Daniel decided to stay on the ship as me, Callen, and Jyoti went to get supplies. Earlier, Leo pinpointed a store, explaining that it was a demigod friendly shop with ambrosia and nectar. We had to get some more since there wasn't much when we first came on Argo II. 

As we walked through Greece, I admired all of the buildings and Jyoti and I talked about the most random things. Callen tagged along about a couple of meters away. We got to the store, which was pretty obvious, since it had a glowing omega sign on the front. We walked in, and quickly grabbed a few packs of ambrosia and a couple bottles of nectar. 

As we got up to the cashier, she smiled at us and explained how she was a daughter of Demeter back in the day and how she decided to leave to live in Greece a couple of years ago. Callen and her got along great, since he technically was her nephew. They talked for a little while and found out that she was actually close with Callen's mom. 

We soon left, only to be stopped by monsters. A couple of hellhounds and a few dracanae. Oh shit. I brought out my stygian iron sword as the rest got out their weapons as well. Smirking, I looked over to Jyoti and Callen, nodding, knowing that this would be easy.

Quickly, we slashed at all the monsters. I mean, there weren't many, but they put up a good fight. Soon, we were covered in blood and golden dust. I looked over to see Callen stumbling around and about to pass out. Jyoti and I both immediately ran towards him and kept him upright. I looked over my shoulder to see his sword and grabbed it. It was a celestial bronze 20 inch sword and about 7 lbs. We then carried, well practically dragged, Callen all the way back to the ship.

As we got there, Daniel ran out, along with the others and screamed, "Callen?! Nooooooo what happened?!?" I just rolled my eyes, smirking. "Well hello to you too, twin brother." He looked at me as if I was crazy and took Callen inside to the small 'infirmary room', if you can even call it that. It was one of the spare rooms that we had. Not that big. It had 2 cots and a drawer full of ambrosia, nectar, and mortal healing supplies like bandages and wraps.

Facepalming, Noah helped me to my room, as Logan did with Jyoti, and tended our wounds. Just a few cuts and scrapes here and there, nothing much. But as I looked down, I noticed a huge gash across my stomach. I didn't feel it, so I was surprised it was there. Only then I noticed there was a huge blood stain on my shirt. Way to go, Kuuipo. Great observation skills.

I gasped and winced in pain as rubbing alcohol was placed on my cut. I ate ambrosia drank a few sips of nectar as the pain turned into a dull throb and the cut slowly stopped bleeding. We then walked up to the main room and decided to discuss our plan. As we got up there, we sat down around a round table with our significant other (Well, except for Nico), and got food.

"So we should be getting to Rome in about 20 minutes." Nico said. He looked pretty bored and tired. I mean, he has to take care of us and we're pretty crazy. All of a sudden the Argo II started to shake. "Aw fuck."
