Ok here's chapter
number one:
I looked around, sensing something was wrong. There were no sounds but those of my own heart. Silently I drew my knife, from its sheath, and crept around a corner of the dark hallway . I looked forward, a feeling of dread washing over me and leaving me unable to do anything but stand and watch as i saw a teen around my age standing alone at the end of one corridor. I tried to tell him to hide, but my lips would nto move. I was aware of people coming, but I was stuck where I was. Brandishing spears and swords that were unlike those at Camp Half-blood they approached him.
*Reyna I don't think he's been tested by Lupa yet.* said a voice. the lead girl ignored it and kept going. They surrounded him and began leading him away just as my lips were able to form one word.
*Percy!*
I sat up suddenly, sweat engulfing me.
*Annabeth?* said a small voice next to me.
I jumped a little then relaxed when I saw that it was one of my half-sisters, Fiona. Her gray eyes dupllicating my own, and her blonde hair pulled back in a ponytail. I sighed and pulled my sheets off. My blonde hair- which was streaked with gray- was sticking up in funny places so I smoothed it down with my hand.
*Another dream about him?* she asked sympathetically. I nodded glumly. Trying to calm my nerves.
This was no nightmare. I knew in my gut that that dream represented truth. I also knew Percy was still out there, with people unknown to him and in unknown surroundings. I took a deep but shaky breath, and continued my conversation with Fiona.
*They all just feel so real, like I could reach out my hand and pull him back.* I pondered it for awhile.
*This was different though. The people felt so real. Like the Reyna person...*
I could have sworn that I had heard that name somewhere before. After thinking for a bit I realized that Fiona was still there waiting for me to say more. I thought about asking her, but decided against it. I would talk to Chiron later.
One thing was for sure though. Some one had beaten me to Percy, and some one was going to have an angry daughter of Athena on their hands.
I knew that I would not be able to go to sleep now, considering what I had just gone through. I took out some of my blueprints for Olympus, trying to put together an image for every Olympian in their statues. I was in the middle of Aphrodite, trying to decide whether she wanted her hair up or down or however she wore it, when Fiona came over again.
*Why dont you ask Piper? I'm sure that she would be able to tell you what to design on her mom so that she's satisfied.* she said knowingly.
I pulled out a yellow post-it note and wrote myself a little reminder to talk to my friend Piper mclean who was in charge of the Aphrodite cabin. I stuck it in my section of the corkboard on the wall. I gazed at a different note up there. It was from last summer before we had left camp:
"Hey wisegirl have a great time at your school! Don't fall in love with another dude ok? Hopefully we will both stay out of trouble this year! ;)
Signed, seaweed brain
I sighed again. It seemed like that was all I ever did since Percy disappeared. How could I be designing little statues when he could be in danger? The fates it seemed were making an extra effort on making me feel like a loser. Then I noticed Fiona staring curiously at me, so I gave her a questioning look. She tapped her chin and said
*He's not like, dead or anything right?* I ran my hand through my hair and said,
*I don't know, but I wish I did. You know how I feel about not knowing something right?*
*Annabeth, we all know it bothers you, but I know we will find him. What's more, is maybe he hasn't forgotten you, maybe he's looking for you.* she looked at me for a second like she wanted to make sure I was listening,
*all i can say, is, we know where he is right, and if other demigods are there too, then he is fine. All that we can do now is work on the boat, and sit tight.* I gave her a weak smile and said,
*I hope ur right.*
*Hey we're Athena's kids. We have to be right. There isn't another choice.* I chuckled half-heartedly, then spent some tiime going through my drawings. Nothing stood out to me as somethung to get my mind off of Percy. After a while, I fell asleep on the desk. No dreams came to me, but I was thoughtful when we went to breakfast. Sleeping helps you think, just ask Clovis.
Later on I led my cabin to the dining pavilion where the nymphs handed out platters of french toast, and magical goblets that served whatever drink we wanted as long as it was non-alcoholic. I asked for orange juice in my cup, then walked over to the braziers with everyone else. When it was my turn I said,
*Mom, please help me find Percy, and give me some wisdom and answers. I'm sorry that you don't approve of our relationship but...* there was nothing else I could think of saying, so I sat back down and ate my food.
I went through everything easily. Archery? Easy. Javelin-throwing? Kids stuff. Even the climbing wall? Please.
During freetime I wandered around, trying to figure out a strategy or plan worthy of Athena to get me out of the mess I was in.
Remembering the reminder, I strolled over to the hot pink lace-curtained cabin that was Aphrodites. I tapped lightly on the door and was greeted by Lacey, one of Piper's nicer sisters. She probably knew that I was here for Piper, as she said,
*Piper is by her bed. KK?*
I nodded and walked over to where Piper sat polishing her mirror-like dagger, Katoptris, until I cleared my throat loudly to let her know I was here. She looked up at me and grinned saying,
*Hey Annabeth, what made you want to drop by?*
*Need help on one of your mom's statues if you don't mind* I said.
She stuck her dagger in its scabbard and stood up dusting her hands off. She motioned towards the door, and I led her to my cabin. She gasped when she stepped inside, and I realzed that I had never brought her in here.
After a quick tour I handed her my drawing. She gazed at it, then added some things, then wrote some ideas down on a sticky note. Silently she handed the note, and drawing back to me. I looked at it amazed at how life-like it now looked now.
*Piper I never realized you were an artist.* I said to her.
She smiled sheepishly and looked at the floor.
*Had a lot of time to practice with my dad gone.* she said.
I put the papers on the corkboard, and we sat there in silence, both of us unsure of what to do next.
