(A/N This is how I think the HoH is going to turn out to be. I know we've got a long time until the real HoH comes out, but I just got so excited I decided to try and write my own. Please review! Tell me what you think! If you don't like it, please just move on. Don't review anything negative. I don't own the PJO or HoO series!)

FRANK (I)

Frank was so worried about Percy and Annabeth, he didn't even notice the giant fox land on the Argo II.

He watched as the two of them fell down into Tartarus. Percy yelled to Nico, "The other side, Nico! We'll see you there. Understand?"

Nico's eyes widened in disbelief. "But-"

"Lead them there!" Percy shouted, interrupting Nico before he could finish. "Promise me!"

When Nico promised, Percy got a strange look on his face, He murmured something to Annabeth and…let go?

Hazel and Nico were screaming their heads off, dangling from the rope ladder above the dark pit. Leo was standing there, dumbstruck. Eventually, they got Hazel and Nico up and they parked the Argo II. Jason led Frank and Hazel back to the parking lot where Percy and Annabeth but to no avail. They trudged back to the ship, their hopes gone.

Frank turned into an elephant to help load the Athena Parthenos into the hold. Thankfully the statue fit.

Then, Leo tried to convince everyone that it was his fault. Hazel said, "No, this is Gaea's fault. It had nothing to do with you. Frank didn't really get what he meant, but a look of understanding passed through them. "Leo, listen to me." Hazel then grabbed his hand, which really made Frank want to punch him, but he held himself back. "I won't allow you to take the blame. I couldn't bear that after-after Sammy..."Frank saw tears welling up in her eyes. He wished he could comfort her, but she turned away from everyone.

Then Nico limped over, leaning heavily on his sword. "Leo, they're not dead. If they were, I could feel it." A spark of newfound hope surged through Frank.

Leo didn't seem convinced. "How can you be sure? If that pit really led to…you know…how could you sense them so far away?"

Hazel turned around and shared a look with Nico. "We can't be one hundred percent sure. But I think Nico is right. Percy and Annabeth are alive…at least so far."

Then Jason pounded his fist against the railing. "I should've been paying attention. I could have flown down and saved them."

That triggered something in his mind. He could turn into and eagle. He could've have helped save the two of them. "Me, too," he moaned. Frank couldn't believe that he messed up.

That's when Piper stepped in. "It's not your fault, either of you. You were trying to save the statue."

Then Nico went and dampened everyone's mood some more. Something about how he hadn't stood a chance when he was in there and how powerful Tartarus was.

That made Frank almost angry enough to cry. "Then Percy and Annabeth don't stand a chance, either?" Frank asked, sniffling.

Nico looked nervous, twisting his skull ring, "Percy is the most powerful demigod I've ever met. No offense guys, but it's true. If anybody can survive, he will, especially if he's got Annabeth at his side. They're going to find a way through Tartarus," he said the last part as if he were trying to convince himself.

Jason asked a question about how Percy was supposed to get to the Doors of Death if Gaea's forces were guarding it. Nico's response was just, "I don't know. But Percy told me to lead you guys to Epirus, to the mortal side of the doorway. He's planning on meeting us there. If we can survive the House of Hades, fight our way through Gaea's forces, then maybe we can work together with Percy and Annabeth and seal the Doors of Death from both sides."

Leo asked a question Frank dared not ask. "And get Percy and Annabeth back safely?"

"Maybe."

Frank wasn't sure that was a good enough answer for him, but he kept his mouth shut. His brain blurred through the rest of the conversation. He heard bits and pieces. "Gaea will throw everything's she's got at us…Romans are in New York…We've got one month…We can do it…." Frank stared at Leo. Could he really be so confident? Then Leo explained about upgrading the ship and Frank blanked out again. Next thing he knew, they were leaving Rome behind. They were leaving Annabeth and Percy behind.

Hazel jolted him out of his nightmare of a mind by slipping her hand into his. He thought it was for comfort, but he was mistaken. It was out of fear. His head snapped up to see a giant gray wolf land on the deck of the huge warship. How had he missed it?

Hazel screamed and looked for her cavalry sword, which was on the other side of the deck. Thankfully, Frank had his bow. He aimed and shot one of its eyes. Unfortunately, that only made the situation worse. "What is that thing?" Frank asked, trying to shout over the roar of the roar of the giant fox. Hazel rolled across the deck while it was distracted and took up her sword. Everyone else had their weapons out as well.

"Careful, guys! This is the Teumessian fox! As far as know, no one's ever beaten it!" shouted Nico. The wind had really picked up now. He could barely hear a thing. Great, he thought. Nico has replaced Annabeth as our provider of random facts that no one ever needs to know.

The fox turned at the sound of Nico's voice. Unfortunately Nico couldn't really do more than stand there and hold his sword up in lousy defense. Jason decided to be helpful and came to his rescue, jabbing the monster with his sword.

Without thinking, Frank grabbed another arrow out of his quiver. He grinned at the thought of what he was about to do. He aimed carefully, right above the fox's head. He made sure that his aim was perfect. It had to be or this wouldn't work. He had only used this technique once before, and the result had been disastrous. He found the released the arrow, watching it as it curved right towards the fox's ear. With a yelp from the fox, the arrow hit its mark and exploded inside the ear, shattering the fox's ear drum and causing the fox to jump off of the Argo II and the wind to die down.

Frank slumped on the railing. He hadn't realized how tired he was. When he looked up, he saw his friends' faces gazing at him in astonishment.

Leo broke the silence. "Well, that was fun."
