Hazel's POV

Back in the century where I used to live, ships would sail on water. However that didn't work for Argo II, the ship practically floated in the air. I guess it was a good thing since I had motion sickness. From above we could see houses, streets, and trees on a very small size. We sailed for two hours straight, there wasn't any attack which made me anxious.

Everytime I tried to forget my last dream with talking or doing activities, it made the dream become more detailed. It was like the dream was happening right in front of me even though I was awake. I saw myself lying in a pool of blood, my own blood. I cried and shouted for help, but I was all alone. I didn't know where I was, but one thing for sure was the ground beneath moved up and down in a slow pace, like it was breathing.

I talked to Frank about my dream, but his reaction made me feel worse. This mission probably had something to do with my dream. Would I die again? Like last time? I felt really lonely because Frank couldn't come on this mission. I clenched my hand into fist without realizing.

"Hey." A soothing voice came up behind me. It was the Apollo girl. She had beautiful long brown wavy hair, a total opposite of my messy curly hair. "Hazel Lavesque right?"

"And I believe you are Phoebe McGary." I shook her hand and smiled.

She smiled back. "So what are you doing right now? Gazing the clouds?"

"I was just thinking." I sighed. "Do I look stressed out?"

"Do you want me to be honest or lying but it will make you feel better?"

I frowned but giggled at the same time. "I know what you mean." I bent on the ship rails. "I was thinking about Frank," It was half true. I did think about him for a minute. "I started to date him months ago, we are always together on every mission. I feel lonely and kind of miss him."

Phoebe gave me a sympathetic smile. "I know how you feel." She darted her eyes. "Piper also can't come. Part of me wished she would be right here but I don't even know how dangerous this mission would turn out. I don't want anybody to get hurt because of me."

I felt a pang in my heart. She was right. Frank existence in this mission or not wouldn't make any difference to my destiny. I swallowed hard.

"Anyway, don't worry about it. You have us, well right now are all seven of us." Phoebe patted my shoulder. "It's my first mission but I will do my best. I'm hoping you can help me out you know?" she rubbed her neck nervously.

"Of course I will." I laughed. "Do you want to grab a snack with Annabeth?" Phoebe nodded with excitement.

Percy's POV

I helped Leo to set up some stuff in his cabin. Even though we were on a ship, it was really nice to set up your cabin exactly like in Camp Half-Blood. It reminded you of home. I didn't even know how long we would be on this ship, probably for the next few days till the real sun eclipse occurred.

Annabeth came to Leo's room, she was asking us to join lunch with the others. It didn't take a second for me and Leo exited the room and ran to the mess hall. Everyone sat down on the sofa, except Jason he was lying down on the carpet. There were a bunch of foods scattered around. Apparently everyone already got what they wanted.

Leo asked for a double cheeseburger and a giant diet coke. I didn't eat a lot this morning so I asked for a steak with blue pancake for dessert.

"Why did you ask for dessert already?" Annabeth said as she took a seat beside me. "You haven't finished your main course."
