Hey Guys it's me Gina! I'll be doing the Roman chapter's xx Hope you enjoy this chapter!
Disclaimer- I do not own PJO or HoO but I and Katie do own the plot.
Hazel leaned over the p the large round table, with exotic foods and smells upon it, and peered at Lupa. The wolfish form appeared to be heading to the Roman Temple. The purpose was to hold boring, sorry, important meetings between the cabin leaders, not that she'd go anyways. Jason had told her about the meetings and they sounded snore worthy.
Of course, knowing Jason, he thought the meetings were great.
Shaking them distracting thoughts from her head, darn ADHD, she was just in time to see Lupa slip away into the temple.
Before the smart and realistic side of Hazel's brain could tell her otherwise she leapt up from the Mercury table and crept towards the temple. Everyone else was busy stuffing their faces and being slobs, their food dribbling down their faces, so no one noticed the disappearance of a single person.
She pressed her ear to the door and listened. Voices were heard but they were too quiet and muffled to work out the words.
"I wonder who she's talking to." Hazel thought.
Slowly the voices were raised and Hazel could hear the conversation.
"Chiron, I am not going to help find one of your campers. I have nothing to gain by doing so."
"Interesting, I wonder who this is." Hazel thought.
"But Lupa, you must understand. Leo is one of the seven in the prophecy. He is vital in preventing another war."
"Wow, Leo is missing? Man, we need to do something."
"If he dies I can always just get one of my campers to replace him."
There was silence, as if Chiron was taking the time to frown at this suggestion.
"I don't find that necessary Lupa"
Hazel giggled and slipped away. Someone from her table was bound to notice she was gone by now. Then again giant herds of people were leaving so they would just assume she had finished her tea. Her stomach rumbled, she'd only managed to finish a pear before her eavesdropping endeavour.
She skipped towards the cabins, hoping to find to find some of her friends. And not meaning to brag, but she was rather popular. Who wouldn't want to be mates with the amazing Hazel?
She jumped across the stepping stones and rang the Cupid cabin.
"Ding Dong" Hazel sang.
Silence followed, no one answered the door.
"Dakota's not in today it seems." Hazel thought.
"Unless he's avoiding me... Or, he's planning a surprise party. That's it!" Hazel danced away; she was in a good mood today, though Leo's incident dampened it a bit. An idea was already brewing in her mind though it involved risks but hey, they were necessary.
She jolted out of her thoughts and saw she had ended up in front of the Pluto cabin; she peeked in through the window and saw a dark shadow skulking about. That was enough evidence for her to know someone was inside. She banged her fist on the door and waited impatiently. After a moment or so the door opened to reveal a teenage boy with dark hair, dark eyes and was wearing a fluffy green dressing gown with frogs on. He raised his eyebrows and said:
"What brings you to my humble abode?"
Hazel grinned cheekily "Well you see..." She went on to tell him about the conversation with Lupa and Chiron she had overheard.
"Whoa..." Bobby whispered. He was in shock. He hadn't known Leo very long but Leo was a fun guy and the two of them got on well. The thought of Leo out there in danger was scary.
"I know but I've had an idea. We should go out on a quest to save him!"
"WHAT!" Bobby exploded. "Are you crazy? Lupa would never give us permission for a quest. Besides we have no idea of Leo's whereabouts."
Hazel responded slowly "Yes, however we can always just see the oracle, get a prophecy and sneak off. The prophecy may give us some clues to where Leo is as well!" Hazel grimaced, "Hopefully" she added in an under tone. Bobby seemed to consider this.
"I guess so, we have to do something to help I suppose."
Hazel clapped Bobby on the back in agreement.
"How about we tell Reyna? She's still in her cabin, I know" Bobby suggested.
Hazel said yes and the two of them popped round to the Minerva Cabin which was barely a minute away. They rapped the old fashioned knocker; they didn't have to wait long. This cabin was quite populated. One of Reyna's older brothers, Aiden, answered the door, and he was pretty hot. He invited them inside and they thanked him. The two of them walked over to Reyna's bunk, with the person in question lying on her tummy reading a book about Geography; she felt a large shadow pass over her and looked up.
She greeted her two friends with a warm smile. It was rare that Reyna got visits from friends, not because she was disliked, but because not many people liked the atmosphere in there. Some of the children were snobs and rude, they liked to remind everyone of their smartness and loved to make others fell stupid. But that was only a small percentage of the cabin.
When Reyna asked the reason of their visit they explained the plan. She questioned the holes in plan, as it wasn't very thought out, but they had no answers. They just rely on the fates and hope they were sending out good vibes to them.
After chatting more and playing monopoly- darn Reyna had won, they parted ways and said they would tell the others. Reyna still wore a dazed and thoughtful expression.
Let's just hope she has a plan.
A good one.
Hey guys! I hoped you enjoyed the chapter, this is a little longer I hope. I'm trying my best to make long chapters. I changed this frequently until I was satisfied. The next chapter (that is mine) will be the prophecy. I've already done the chapter but the prophecy needs tweaking and I need to rewrite it. Hope to see you soon!
