Percy Jackson, The Path To Being A Wizard

Chapter 9

Chapter 9

Hazel's POV

"What do you mean you don't know where he is?!?!?" I yelled at Chiron, through the IM

Chiron just stared at me for a second, before I realised what I had done

"Sorry Chiron." I said softly, "It's just, Percy has almost always been there for me and Frank when we needed him. He helped us gain recognition in camp, and helped us truly find each other.... He's..... He's like our older brother, in a sense." I continued, while looking towards Frank and seeing him nod in agreement.

"It is quite alright, child." Chiron said soothingly. "And I meant what I said, Percy left camp halfblood many weeks ago, and said he was heading for camp Jupiter."

"Well, we haven't seen him." I said, before a terrifying reality set upon me. "Do you think he was hurt?!?"

"No no no. Nothing of the sort, him and Thalia can more than handle themselves, I am just worried of what is taking them so long." Chiron responded, seeming to lose himself in thought.

"Oh, ok." I said slowly, before realising something he had said, "Wait... Thalia is with him?!?" I exclaimed. "Isn't she a hunter?"

"Oh. Didn't you hear?" Chiron asked, "Thalia left the hunt back during the award ceremony, all those months ago."

"What?!?" I exclaimed, "Why would she do that?"

"Well, I don't know for sure." Chiron started, "but I believe it has to do with Percy."

"Wait, wait wait." I said, holding my hands up in a stop motion, "Are you implying what I think you are implying." I asked, with a small smirk on my face.

"Indeed I am." Chiron said simply, before the sound of shouting could be heard from his end.

I couldn't help but smirk even more, gaining the perfect blackmail for my cousin/brother, and my other cousin. And as I turned towards Frank, I saw that he was thinking the same thing.

"I best be heading out to stop whatever problem Clarisse has started.... Again" Chiron said, before rising from his wheelchair.

"Why do you think it is Clarisse?" I asked, having only talked to the girl a small number of times. Chiron just gave me the 'are you being serious?' look, before he said a quick goodbye and swiped his hand through the message.

"Well then." Frank said, "I wonder what my sister has done this time."

"Yes, maybe she is beating up another new camper." I mused, before our small conversation was cut off by the sound of a metric crap ton of water smashing down, and thunder booming, somewhere in the direction of the Caldecott tunnels.

"Lets go check that out." Frank said, before grabbing me by the hand and pulling me out of the praetor building 

"What animal do you think for today?" I asked

"I was thinking of a giant eagle. "Frank said simply, causing me to smile.

Once Frank had finished shifting into a form similar to that of our giant eagles, I climbed on his back, and we were off.

"Over there!" I called, pointing towards the little tiber. "I see someone!" I continued, mentally correcting myself to seeing three people, but that was probably unnecessary to say out loud.

Frank shifted his body slightly, before going into a dive towards the banks of the river, before he let me off his back and shifted back.

"Come on!" I yelled, grabbing Franks hand and running towards the three individuals.
