Priscilla

I woke up the next morning with a red tomato nose and a sore throat  along with a bad cough.

I had grown a head cold. A cold but worst. Due to the freezing water being so cold I had grown a bad cough because of it. Not only did I have one but Zoe had one always.

Calypso took care of us. That day we gave her the name Nurse C.

She put a warm towel over each of our heads and she warm us each in a blanket as she made the both of us stay in the back and in our pajamas so we don't infect the others. 

I was snuggle up next to Zoe with my hair in a messy bun as I wore a blue t-shirt along with blue shorts as I had socks on as Zoe was next to me dressed in gray sweatpants and a blue t-shirt as she moaned and groaned. 

"I know you guys feel bad" Calypso said as she took the two thermometer from mine and Zoe's mouth.

"Yep, You two defiantly are sick. Your temperatures are 100.6" as Zoe groan and gave sickly cough.   

"Don't worry Zoe. In two days you to should start feeling much better" Calypso told us as she stir something inside a pot that smell like cinnamon. 

"What's that" I croaked as she pour it into two cups as she handed it to us.

"It's nice hot warm cinnamon tea" as me and Zoe both took big sips as our throats began to soothed.

"It's to help with your sore throats" she told us as Zoe laid down which is when our young demigod friend came over.  

"Morning Phoenix" Calypso told her as she waved as she yawn.

Phoenix yesterday had a mental breakdown about her mother but today she looked like she was better. 

Her hair was tied into a ponytail as she was still dressed in her pajamas. She was wearing a NASA Hoodie with black and white shorts on as she had on black saggy socks on her feet.

"These two got sick didn't they ?"

"Yep, Like two sick puppies" Calypso told her as I rolled my eyes at her as Phoenix yawned as she poured herself some tea along with the porridge we had last breakfast.

"You feeling better Phi ?" Calypso asked her as Phoenix replied "Yea. Just got work up yesterday."

"Just Glad we have our normal Phoenix back"   

"I know right" as she put on a big cheerful smile.

I smiled at her. 

It felt good to have our normal cheerfully Phoenix back. She sat down as she drunk her tea and finished her porridge. 

"What's on today list ?" Phoenix asked Calypso as she told "Well You and Leo are going to be taking care of the ship for the even while I take care of Zoe and Priscilla" 

"Sweet!" Phoenix said hoping up as she made her way to the back to wake up her half brother.

"Leo Wake Up !" She shouted as the son of Hephaestus groaned and said "Five more minutes."

She yanked the blanket off of Leo as he sat up and look at Phoenix and asked "What ?" 

"Calypso's putting us in charge of lookout so come on  and get up and get dress"

"Phoenix is 11:25." he said rubbing his eyes as Phoenix said "Come on Leo. Wake up " as he sighed and stood up. 

"Decides you'll be able to sleep all day later"

"You better promise to" he growled at her as he walked back to us and began  to eat porridge and drink hot tea to wake himself up. 

"Yeah, Thank you Leo" she told him.

I smirked. 

Phoenix had Leo wrapped all around her finger tips. He couldn't say no to her. He love her to much.

She kissed his cheek  as he rolled his eyes. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Phoenix 

Later than even me and Leo were taking watch.

Calypso had to take care of Zoe and Priscilla since the two had grown a nasty cold leaving me and Leo to watch the ship.

My legs were dangling as I watch the sky with Leo behind me. 

"How the sky looking ?" I asked him as he told me

"Good what about down below ?"

"Looking good to" I told him as I rose up and said "I'm glad things are clam"
  

"I know right" Leo told me.

"I wonder how Zoe and Priscilla are ?" Phoenix wondered.

"I know those two are sick as dogs" Leo said.

Then the wind increased as Phoenix's curly brown blew into her face as she put her hair behind her ear.

"What's that about ?" Phoenix wonder as she stood tall.

"No clue ?" Leo said noticing the increasing winds.

Then the two noticed a deer that was looking at them as it ran off as Phoenix hit Leo on the arm as she told "Something down there, come on !" as the two used a rope they had as they slid down.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Where'd it go ?" Leo wonder as he looked around with his little sister.

"No clue" Phoenix said. 

Then Phoenix eyes burned with fire again the same when they did when Hestia was around her.

"Goddess nearby" She told Leo as the saw the deer know in front of them as Leo looked carefully.

"I don't think that's a regular deer" as Phoenix rose from the ground.

Phoenix usually called her brother a huge idiot but Leo was right. The brown deer then started to become a woman. That woman was a goddess, that goddess was in fact Hera.  

The goddess was wearing a glowing white gown a gold crown and a peacock belt.

"Hera" Leo said with suspicion. He was right to be suspicious when around Hera because she was a sneaky goddess. 

She would be after children of Zeus mostly due to his mortal affairs. 

"What is with all your goddess showing up" I wonder.

"I have my reason Phoenix's Carson" Hera told me her voice was elegant. 

"Crap, and she know's who I am" I groaned.

"I always know who you were Phoenix ever since birth I've been watching over." 

"First off TMI and second off creepy" I told the goddess as she rolled her eyes as I told her "Look Hera, I know it's your kinda like your job to watch over us demi-gods but I already have an angel looking over me and I have to say she's doing a very good job"

"I know she been watching over you well Phoenix" Hera told me as Leo changed the subject "Anyway why are you here ?"

"I'm here to offer you a gift" Hera told me as I rose a brow. 

"From what adult say it's not nice to take gift from strangers, better yet sneaky goddess like you" I told Hera. 

"Your very sassy for a fourteen year old girl Phoenix Carson"  

" I know I'm sassy, You have to have a little attitude in you when it comes to this cruel world."

Leo never seen his little half sister so serious before, usually she's goofy but right now she was the opposite.     

"So, what's the gift Hera ?"  Leo asked her.

When asked dust began to dance in Hera's hand as she was know holding a golden sword. It was made out of pure gold honestly it would make the heart of any inventor explode just by gazing at it. 

"Wow it's beauty" Phoenix said gazing at the pure golden sword that was in Hera's hand.

"Can't say I've never seen anything like it before, Expect for Jason's sword"

"And Phoenix's Carson you can have it." Hera told me as I rose a brow and asked "What's the catch ?" 

"You know well Daughter of Hephaestus"  

"Surely Do" Phoenix told her as she stuffed her hands into her military jacket pocket. Today the two Hephaestus's sibling were matching. Military Jackets, Camp Half Blood shirts, khaki pants, suspenders, brown boots with there tool belts on there waist.  

The only difference was Phoenix's was wearing screwdriver earrings.

"Alright Hera we do what ever you want us to do and you give us the sword" Leo told Hera.

"As you wish Leo Valdez" as the two Hephaestus's kids summoned their hammers.

Then Hera snapped her fingers as the two siblings stood side by side as leaves from the ground started to form a whirlpool around them as they covered their eyes as they disappeared without a trance.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Phoenix tried to rise up to her feet but she couldn't because something was on top of her. 

It was Leo. 

For a scrawny little boy like him he was pretty heavy.

Phoenix kicked Leo in the knee as he groaned as she told "Leo Valdez Get off of me !"

Leo rose from off his little sister as he turned around and helped her up as she dusted herself off.

"Where the Hermes's are we ?" Phoenix wonder as she looked around to her surroundings.  

Wherever Hera had sent her and Leo it was like a park. It was pretty the sky was bright and they had trees everywhere. 

"Are we at a park ?" Leo asked

"No clue" I wondered.

Phoenix got up as she stretched as she got her hammer from the ground.  

"Come on where every we are we need to get out of here and get that sword" Phoenix told Leo. 

"Agree sister of mine" Leo told her. Phoenix rolled her eyes as the two marched towards the cave ahead.

Leo looked at his little sister as he noticed that she looked rather scare. I mean she had the right to be scare. They were in the middle of nowhere and not to mention nor Zoe or Priscilla were went them.

"Why you staring ?" Phoenix asked him 

He didn't realized he was staring hard core at his little sister, "Nothing, Sorry" Leo said as Phoenix rolled her eyes.

The two then came up upon a small lake as they stopped in their tracks.

"Just great" Phoenix sighed as Leo told her "Let's find out where this leads us" as Phoenix put her hand in the lake as she noticed how clear the water was.

Just like the water from Long Island Sound.

Phoenix drew in a long sigh she missed Camp Half Blood. She had been away from Camp for 16 weeks now and all in a effort to save Olympus and fix a cruse. 

"Phi ?" Leo said as Phoenix turned to him and went back to reality "Oh sorry Leo, want did you say ?" 

"I was saying where do you think we should go from here ?"

"Uh maybe we should go west" Phoenix suggested. 

"That sound like a good idea" Leo said as the two Hephaestus kid made their way west of the forest...
