Percy's POV:

After we sailed away from Circes island, I gave Edward the wheel and I headed down to the quarters where Jessica was at. When I got there, I noticed her sitting on a cot, her hands behind her back, her brown hair cascaded down her back and her eyes seemingly changed color every few seconds.

"Hello Jessica" I said as I walked in and closed the door behind me

"Hey Percy" She said quietly and I walked over

"Something wrong? Other than being tied up at the moment" I asked and Jessica nodded her head

"the two who brought me down here threatened me if I tried anything" Jessica said quietly and I frowned

"Don't worry, are you still a maiden?" I ask and Jessica looks at me confused "Just, humor me. Are you still a maiden?" I ask again and she nods

"Yes, I am still a maiden. And I would like to keep it that way" She says and I smile slightly

"Well, what would you say if I told you that I could get you to the Hunters of Artemis after this quest is over?" I said and Jessica's eyes brightened

"I would thank you until the end of the world" Jessica exclaims excitedly

"Well, I just so happen to have a friend who can get you to the hunter's camp easily. But, you will owe me and my friend a favor alright?" I say seriously and Jessica nods vigorously

"Anything, anything at all, just name it" Jessica says and I laugh

I stand up and pull a dagger out.

"Turn around, I will release your bonds but you must stay in here unless either me, my companions, or Blackbeard come and get you. Understand?" I say and Jessica nods as she stands up and turns around to show me her tied up hands which seem to be turning purple

I cut the ropes and take them off her while she rubs her wrists.

"Thank you." Jessica says as Luke knocks on the door and opens it

"Percy, you're needed. We're nearing the Sirens" Luke says and I nod

"Jessica, put wax in your ears or anything to block out sound" I say and turn to Luke as I walk out of the room "Luke, go and spread the word to the crew, no one is to leave their ears unplugged while we are within the Siren's range" I say as I climb to the deck and Luke starts spreading the word

I get to the Main Deck and Edward hands me some wax which I take and put in my ears. I notice Annabeth tied to the mast and I raise an eyebrow at Edward who takes out one earplug. I do the same as he starts explaining"

"The daughter of Athena wanted to hear the Siren's voices. So, we complied and took her weapons and tied her to the mast. Don't worry lad, we did not hurt her" Edward said and I smiled

"Alright, as long as she wasn't injured" I say as we put the earplugs back in and started sailing through the rocky cove

I made sure to keep the ship away from the rocks while looking at the wrecked ships. Most had been run aground, however there were some that were completely sunk for running into the rocky sides of the pass. I saw Annabeth tense before she started struggling, some of the crew decided to watch her just in case she somehow got out. That's when I noticed a figure swimming away from the ship and I noticed it was Luke.

'Blast! He must not have gotten his earplugs in' Instinct said as I ran from the helm and leapt over the side of the ship

I dived into the water before starting to swim after him. I went underwater before using the water to propel myself down for a minute before I rocketed up and grabbed Luke around the waste like a breaching Great White shark. Once we landed, I noticed that we were on shore and not in the water and I cursed as I saw a group of said Sirens landing a few yards from where we landed. I held onto a struggling Luke with an iron grip as I stood up and slowly made my way to the water. The sirens on the other hand saw this and moved forward.
