Heroes Know When to sacrifice

Escaping

(7/2/19)

Ok, so the day I posted the last chapter, In the time-space where I was typing the 'thank yous' and publishing the chapter, someone favorited my story and I didn't get to thank them.

So,

Thank you 'Snowst5367' for favoriting it, and I typed this the second I realized this, (which was not long after I posted chapter two, like a minute, I promise you) I wrote this so I wouldn't forget to thank you.

I will warn anyone who follows and/or favorites my story after today, will probably not get mentioned, but I will try my best to recognize you in some way. I do appreciate this, but please don't get mad if I don't thank you or mention you.

I'm going to write most of the chapter today so I'm gonna get started.

In case anyone doesn't know what POV means, it means 'Point Of View'

Chapter #3

Escaping

Jason's POV

Meg was the first to react.

She rushed through the burned floor, barely even slowing down as she knelt at Apollo's side. The others and I followed her example. When we reached him, Apollo was awake, curled up with his knees to his chest. Dried blood was splattered on his pants and the make-shift bandage was more than a little bit charred. He was shivering uncontrollably and the scariest part of him was his eyes. They were alert, yet when he looked in my direction, they didn't seem to see me, and were glazed with unrecognition. His blue eyes that used to spark with humor and amiability, were white.

"Apollo... Apollo are you ok?" Meg queried.

"M... Meg?" his voice quivered. "I... I can't see you... is everyone ok? Jason? Piper? Crest?" he uncurled his limbs and winched as he did so. "Ow!"

"Calm down, just...stay still. We're gonna get out of here, I promise, just hold on a little bit longer."

"I can't see you... Why can't I see you? Why can't I see anything, Meg?" I could recognize he was starting to freak out when he repeated the question eight more times.

Meg turned to me. "Can't you... I don't know, blast a hole in the wall with some lightning?"

I smiled, "Hopefully, I could do more than a tiny hole, just give me a second." I stepped backward, away from the group and closed my eyes.

Dad, I thought, We could really use your help, Apollo needs help now. So, if you could help us out, that would mean a lot.

I was surprised when Zeus's answer came quicker than I expected. Electricity buzzed around the lightbulbs and lightning crashed all around the harbor. Explosions sounded outside the boat and hopefully, they were from the other Caligula's boats. I was mere five seconds before more than a dozen of the bolts started to hit boat #12, and what was once beautiful decoration, was now burning wood spreading throughout the area, sending smoke into the air, only to exit the room via a hole in the wall beside us.

When I looked back at my friends, they were staring at me in shock. Only to realize that they were wasting precious time they could spend escaping.

"Is everyone ok? That was Jason, right? Dad's not mad at me?" Apollo fired the questions at us.

"Good job Jason," Piper answered all of Apollo's questions at once without even looking at him. "Now that's done, could you fly Apollo and Crest can use his ears. Is Tempest still here?"
