Broken || A Riordan Universe Story

Frank POV~ "Autobots. Roll Out."

"Ow!" Magnus shouted after he kicked the rock.

     "Magnus, assaulting the rock will not help us with our problems." Sam shook her head.

     "Well what else are we supposed to do?" Asked Magnus.

     "Let's take a step back and really think about it." Said Annabeth.

"Well, maybe we need to fill it up." Said Carter.

"But, what do we use to fill it up?" I questioned.

"Water." Suggested Percy.

"It can't be that easy." Annabeth started pacing. "But I think we're on the right track."

"So we fill the engravings in with something." Said Blitz.

"Maybe we have to fill it in with its actual thing." Suggested Nico.

     "What do you mean?" Asked Leo.

"Oh my gods Nico is right." Annabeth stopped. "What he meant to say was that we need an actual feather, and three teeth."

"They could be horns too." I added.

"Wait a minute. You said teeth, right?" Sadie asked.

"Yes." Said Annabeth.

"Well we've already discovered one of those." Observed Sadie.

"I don't think that one of our teeth can fit into that." Said Magnus.

"No, you idiot. She means the tooth from the Fox that we cut off." Said Alex.

     Today Alex was a guy. I thought the whole gender-fluid thing was pretty cool.

     "Huh, that makes a lot more sense." Magnus realized.

     "It looks like it can easily fit here." Nico pointed.

"So we have to track down that monster again." Leo whined.

"And from the looks of it we have three more to track down." Percy said.

"Okay so what could these other ones be?" Asked Zia.

"Oh! Do you remember the Trolls?" Asked Hazel.

"Yes," Blitz started. "What about them?"

"Their horns! It looks like we could fit one here." She pointed.

"Hazel you're a genius." I smiled at her.

"Thanks." She blushed.

     "Two down, two to go." Calypso sighed.

     "I say we split up." Said Jason.

     "You know that part in the horror movies when people split up even though they know it's a bad idea, and then they end up dying?" Asked Leo.

    "Yeah." Jason shakily asked.

     "Well, now is one of those moments." Leo replied.

     "Oh, stop being over dramatic. We'll be fine." Said Sadie.

     "But we don't have our powers." Said Leo.

     He said the one fact that could actually kill us.

     "I've never had powers and I've survived fine. All we need is perseverance, grit, determination, and a weapon." Announced Annabeth.

"But you're Annabeth Freaking Chase." Whined Leo.

"So?" She asked.

"Never mind." Leo sighed.

     "Annabeth is right we'll be fine." Blitz said. "Hearth disagrees but it will be alright."

"Okay, let's split into three groups then." Annabeth started, "Hazel, you talked about the Troll. Who was with you when you encountered them?"

"Um, I think Frank, Magnus, Alex, Blitz, Hearth, Carter, and Walt." She counted.

"How about you, Frank, Magnus, and Alex go for the Troll." Suggested Annabeth.

"Sounds good." I said.

     "Any volunteers to go after the Fox?" Annabeth asked.

     No one raised their hand until Nico hesitantly put his up, with Reyna putting her's up right after.

     "Two volunteers? Thanks guys. Fine, I'll go with Percy, Nico, and Reyna." Annabeth sighed.

     "Way to go Nico!" Leo exclaimed.

     "I didn't volunteer though." Percy said.

     Annabeth fluttered her eyelashes while smiling sweetly, and showed Percy her left hand. On her ring finger sat her engagement ring.

     All this wedding stuff happening made me start to think. Percy and Annabeth have been together way longer then Hazel and I. I mean, I knew she was the one from the bottom of my heart, but I also knew her. I knew that she'd want to wait. It would be overwhelming if I asked now, and I knew that I wanted to wait too.

     "You're the one who proposed sweetie." She smiled.

     "And you're the one who said yes, sweetie." Percy smiled back.

     He encircled Annabeth's waist with his arms, and pulled her close.

     "We get that you're getting married and all, but please keep the PDA levels low." Alex gaged.

     "Save it 'till the honeymoon lovebirds." Piper added.

     Both of them started to blush furiously. Annabeth quickly jumped out of Percy's arms.

     "Piper!" Annabeth chastised.

     Percy scratched his neck. "Well, um. I guess that settles it. The people who aren't in a group have to be on the look out for a creature with feathers, or a horn or tooth that looks like this."

     Percy pointed.

     "Sounds good." Leo smiled. "Autobots. Roll out."

     "Can you not?" Asked Sadie.

     "The temptation was irresistible." Grinned Leo.
