Hi everyone! :)

....I don't know if I actually improved it though... XD
I am quite gutted at how short it is... :/
Here it is, anyway:

Chapter 41

Percy POV

The wind whipped through my hair as we flew across the country. The amount of stars in the sky was tremendous, I had never seen so many. Halyptia was flying ahead of me, on her grey pegasus. Piper was to my right, talking to me quietly.
"...I think there's something wrong with Halyptia." She confided. I looked towards Halyptia, then turned my head to Piper. I nodded.
"I think so too..." I confessed.
Halyptia began to change since we met Sophia. The way she put down an object, as if she loathed it. The way she answered our questions quickly and vaguely; we irritated her. At least, it seemed that way. It was probably the stress of the quest getting to her, so I never tried to pry. I wasn't sure what else it could be.

"Do you want to stop?" Piper asked. I could tell she was really tired. She had begun to get dark circles around her eyes. They were beginning to get puffy.
"I know we haven't slept much in the last few days, but we're so close!" I said, trying to sound enthusiastic. "...and the quicker we finish, the closer we are to the real beds back at Camp.." I finished persuasively. Piper shot her eyes open wide.
"Let's go! Hurry Beauty!!" She yelled eagerly. I grinned.
"You named your pegasus, Beauty?" I asked.
"Well, you call your pegasus 'Blackjack'!" She countered. We began laughing.

Boss! It's urgent! Blackjack said.
"What happened?" I asked worriedly.
I need to go!
"Go where? We're in the middle of a quest!" I exclaimed. He couldn't just leave.
I need to go... to the little pegasus's room! Take the hint, Boss!
"Oh..!" I replied, trying not to laugh. "Okay, we'll make a stop now, for half-an-hour or so?"
Thanks! Blackjack replied, quickly shooting down, straight to the ground. The others copied.
Halyptia looked quite shocked by the sudden change of direction.

As we landed, I realized that it was much colder than it seemed. I hugged my jacket, which I bought at the village we stopped in a few days ago. I was wearing Camp clothes and over that, I wore my armour and the jacket. Halyptia wore the same thing. Piper was wearing her armour under her clothes, and she wore a ski jacket.
We had landed in the middle of a deserted town, in the middle of nowhere.
Halyptia took out her sword and shield, and we copied.
We walked up and down the streets to find a place where we could rest, but every building was empty. There was no sound, but the wind. There were no lights.
"Creepy..." I whispered to the two girls, as we walked together.
"I know..." Piper replied in a hushed voice. "Where is everyone?"
"I have no idea..." Halyptia whispered back. That was the first time, in a few days, that Halyptia talked without being prompted to. If things weren't so freaky, I would've been glad.
A very light whisper reached my ears. It could've been mistaken for the wind. I looked at Piper.
"Did you hear that?" I breathed.
"Yeah..." Piper replied softly. She was nervous.
I turned to Halyptia.
"Did you..-" I began silently.
"Yeah." She replied in a shaky breath, cutting me off.
We heard it again. It was muffled and hushed, but it clashed with the wind.
It seemed to be whispering 'Hello?'.
The three of us looked at eachother.
"Let's quietly leave and find the pegasi, quickly" I whispered.
"Anyone there?" I heard the muffled voice again. It was as though they were trying not to attract attention and trying to get help. I had a strong suspicion that it was a monster.
"Who are you? Help me.." The quiet voice was behind us.
We got our weapons ready.
Quickly, we spun around, soundless.
It was a boy.
About seventeen. He was seriously injured all over. Blood covered him from head to toe. I could see some dangerous wounds.
"Help me.." He whispered weakly, about to collapse any second.
I wasn't sure if this was a trick or not. Piper looked shocked and Halyptia was frozen still. We didn't know what to do.
Halyptia finally spoke.
"Who are you?" She silently asked, cautious. She had beads of sweat on her forehead and her hands were shaking. I felt numb against the cold, and my legs hurt badly. Piper was shivering.
"I... Z-Zachary Romero.."
