Percy's POV

After saving my sister from that stupid boat, I wanted to go back just to torture Luke with my bare hands. How dare he try to make my own sister turn against me! It broke my heart just like the day she left when she had explained Luke's plan of turning her against me. I would never lay a hand on my sister, my twin sister. I mean wouldn't that be like hitting myself? And mom would disown me if I would of beat her up. What was Luke thinking?

Looking around in this stomach on Clarisse's boat, I was at a total loss of ideas on an escape route. I looked around the boat itself as the zombies worked on the boat as the engine had failed and all. Clarisse was yelling at them like she would anyone but I had a suspicion that she was mad at something else.

"Clarisse? What happened to Ichneutae?" I asked.

"Oh him? We ran into another monster before this one and his last words were 'I got this dude'." She explained rolling her eyes. I nodded as she went back to yelling at the zombie confederates.

"Who is she?" I hear a voice whisper beside me. I look over to see Lily beside me.

"That's Clarisse daughter of Ares. She's a bit of a egotistical kind of person. Bossy too as you can see. Lily most demigods spend years trying to find ways to make their God parent(s) proud. Some, like Luke, take it all a little to far, and most, like Clarisse, make sure that others don't forget how important they are." I explain.

Clarisse had been the only person who didn't care that Lily was missing this summer at camp. Some might of not cared but the look of pity I got from every persons eyes was enough to know who cared and who didn't. All I saw in Clarisses eyes were 'you might of saved Olympus but your still the weakest link here'. So definitely not friendly and definitely not a person. You want to be in a monsters stomach with.

"So Clarisse, what is your plan here?" Anabeth asked.

"Well if these idiots would get my engine back up and running then the planning would start but so far my crew says it won't be done anytime soon." She explains.

"Ill go help them I'm sure they need a non flammable down there." Tyson says as he follows a zombie down to the engine.

I looked around Clarisse's ship again and saw a huge gun on top so I pointed at it.

"Clarisse? Does that thing work?"

"No Jackson it's just for decoration, I even thought of painting it pink! Of course it works stupid! Why?" She snipped.

"Well I was thinking about giving this monster a stomachache." I stated proudly with a good plan. I've got to show my sister that I care about her and what better way to do it then save us all!

"Percy! That's a great plan! Once the engine is back up and running then everyone can get below while you and Clarisse get us out of here. Clarisse you can steer this thing right?" Annabeth asked.

"Of course I can! And this is my mission so any thoughts or ideas have to be ran by me!" She points at one of the zombies and yelled at them to load the machine gun while yelling at another to check on her engine.

I walk over to Lily and tell her about the plan as soon as she understood the boat came to life as I could hear the engine roar underneath my feet.

"Alright! All hands below deck! Jackson! Get on top of that gun before my anchor snaps! This monster wants us for dinner and I am not having it!" She screams. I salute her sarcastically earning an eye roll from her as everyone heads down below and me climbing into the seat of the gun.

"Alright Jackson! Let's give this monster a stomachache!" Clarisse shouts at the wheel on the boat. I load up the gun with a click and aim the gun high as I hit the buttons watching the bullets fly. The monster roared loudly in pain is it has figured out that something is definitely wrong. It's stomach was filling with water as I shot a hole right threw its stomach. I climbed down from the gun and ran to Clarisse closing the door to the captains deck.

"This better work or else this is your idea and all your fault." She said charmingly.

"Of course it is now move this damn steam boat!" I shouted. She glared at me as she started to steer it into the hole of the monsters stomach. The boat wasn't made to be a submarine so hopefully I can float us to the top in time before the water pressure gets threw the glass of the captains deck.

Once we hit open ocean water I start moving the boat up with my abilities. This boat was nothing like Luke's where I had to make a few waves. Now we are totally underwater so it adds more pressure against me. I didn't notice how slow the boat was moving up until a surge of water went threw the glass.

"Jackson!! Hurry up or your going to kill us all!"

I pushed harder and the boat soared up. Another kick was added to the push and I automatically knew Lily was helping me. Together we both got the ship to the surface with a splash. I sighed in relief as we climbed out of the captains deck where the other climbed out from down below. I met up with Lily and hugged her.

"Thanks for the help. I knew it was you the minute I felt it." I said to her.

"Everyone down there was getting worried about how slow the boat was going up so I nodded to Annabeth and started to help. Percy I didn't know how much I was capable of until this. Thanks bro." She said with a smile. I smiled back and then was attacked with another hug by Annabeth.

"Percy you did it! Well I guess you both did but I'm glad we are out of there." She said. Clarisse barged in between us and put her hands on her hips.

"Let's save the thank yous and hugs for later people. We have a fleece to find. You there! What is our coordinates?" Clarisse asked one of her colonel zombies. He rattled off some number but it seemed wrong to me.

"Annabeth isn't that close to where we just were?" I asked she nodded and I sighed. I looked over the ocean seeing nothing but blue water when I started to see lines and degrees and arrows.

"Ugh guys? I think we are heading back to the coast."

"What's do you mean Jackson you calling my shipmates liars?" I shook my head and looked at Lily.

"Do you see them to?" I asked her. She looked over the side and then after a few moments she gasped and nodded.

"It's like a map. Longitude and Latitude with degrees." She said.

"30, 31, 75, 12." I mumbled. "Clarisse tell them to head 30 degrees, 31 minutes north, 75 degrees, and 12 minutes west. That's were the fleece is." She looked at me suspiciously but barked the order at her crew and nodded to me.

"This better work Jackson or its on your head." I nodded and leaned against the rail next to Lily.

"Now onto saving the camp." I said to her. She nodded I watched the water below.

Lily's POV

I nodded at Percy's statement about saving the camp since they filled me in on what Luke had done. I should of known Luke had left the boat he always smelled different each time I came a crossed him. I shake my head. Lily don't do this to yourself. Luke is bad and will hurt you if he gets the chance. I didn't want to give him this chance but if he gets in front of Percy I will save my brother. Or Tyson. I couldn't believe he was my brother! He's like a giant teddy bear. But with one eye.

I turn to Percy and lean into him putting my head on his shoulder.

"We make a great team bro." I said. He smiled and nodded

"Yeah we do sis."
