POV- Annabeth

"Alright. I'll talk to him." I said sadly into the phone. Rachel had called my cell phone- Grover had been in the forest when a tree fell on him.

I walked out of the Athena cabin and over to Percy's. I knocked on the door loudly- knowing Percy he was probably sleeping. Sure enough, he came to the door in pyjamas with his black hair in more of a mess than normal.

"Hey Ann." he said as he yawned

"Don't call me Ann." I said sternly before remembering why I was here "I need to talk to you, it's important."

"Okay, come in." He walked back inside the cabin and motioned for me to do the same. I did. "What is it?"

"Well, It's Grover." I said, not knowing how to tell Percy. I knew he'd be upset when he found out. Plus we had all had enough stress from Gaia to last a lifetime.

"Is he okay?" He asked, panicked.

"A tree fell on him"

"Is he alright?" Percy got went to his closet to get a fresh shirt and pair of jeans.

"Not really. He has a broken arm, a lot of broken ribs, and he's still unconscious." I figured Percy would just get mad if I sugar-coated it.

"Where is he?"

"The infirmary"

"Alright, bye." With that Percy ran out the door without even changing.

"Percy wait!" I yelled as I ran after him. He didn't answer me, so I kept running after him- straight to the infirmary.

When I got there he was standing over the bed Grover was in. Rachel was already there, along with Thalia and a son of Apollo. Thalia came over and hugged me as soon as I came in, then she went back to sitting without saying a word to me. I looked over to Percy, who looked like he was about to die. I walked over to and started rubbing his back. He grabbed my hand and pushed it away.

"Are you okay?" I asked him softly.

"Do I look okay?" I didn't answer him. Instead I went to sit with Thalia and Rachel.

"Is he going to be alright?" Thalia asked hopefully. The Apollo camper answered.

"Most likely not." He replied honestly, I wished he would have said something else. Even If it was just for Percy. "You guys should go now, I need to see if there's anything else I can do" He shooed us out the door.

Thalia and Rachel got up and left, I grabbed Percy's shoulder and dragged him out the door. After we were all out Percy stopped off to the lake. Rachel walked away, probably going back to her room in the big house.

"I officially hate trees even more." Thalia said. I weakly smiled trying to keep from running after Percy, who was sitting on the beach.

"Me too." I gave her another hug.

"I've got to go. Jason needs help moving into the Zeus cabin." She ran to her cabin.

"Bye" I yelled, but she was too far away to hear.

I decided just to walk around camp for a while and think things through. I hoped Percy would be fine. He looked really upset, but then again I was too. Grover was also Percy's best friend, which made matters even worse. Thalia was sad to, I could tell. She didn't show it, but I'd known her for long enough. Rachel hadn't really said much in the infirmary, but when she called me she had been crying.

Before I knew it I was back at the Athena cabin. I didn't want to go in yet, but I had to be there for inspections today. I walked inside, at first everyone looked up to see who it was. When they saw it was me they all looked around, like they were scared to make eye contact with me. I went over to my buck and picked up a few books before Piper came in for inspections.

"Hello, done cleaning?" She asked as soon a Malcolm (One of my half-brothers) opened the door for her.

"Yeah, I think so." He smiled and let her in.

"Alright, I hate this job, so let's hurry." She started looking around, marking things off on her clipboard. After a few minutes she wrote down a number. "10, as always. Good job." She gave me a sorry look and ran out of the cabin.

Since inspections were over I decided to go see Percy, hopefully he was feeling a little better. It didn't seem likely, but I could hope as much as I wanted. First I went down to the shore, I didn't see Percy. Either he was swimming, at the arena, or in his cabin. I went to the arena and didn't see him there either. I walked to his cabin. Well, I tried to.

Somewhere between the Arena and the Poseidon cabin I stopped paying attention and starting just wandering around. I ran straight into Nico. We both fell over, on our backs. Apparently he wasn't watching where he was going either.

"HEY!" he yelled as soon a he fell. Nico quickly recovered, got up and looked down at me, glaring. I got up and straightened out my clothes.

"Yeah?" I asked.

I wished it hadn't been Nico that I had run into. Honestly he was scary looking with all the black clothes and the sword strapped to his belt. When Nico came up in conversation between Percy and I, he always said that Nico used to happy and innocent. It didn't look like he had ever been happy, he just looked bitter and emotionless. I guess I do feel a little sorry for him, about his sister dying and everything. I decided to take a chance.

"Wait!" I yelled at him. He turned around looking confused.

"What?" He walked back over to me.

"Do you know where Percy is?"

"No." he turned again.

"Alright, if you see him, tell him to find me."

"Okay."

I ran the rest of the way the Poseidon cabin. When I got there I knocked on the door and got no answer. I went in, it was a mess. Clothes were scattered all over the floor, food wrappers were on tables and there was a almost smashed buck in the corner. I guessed the smashed buck was Tyson's. I hadn't noticed the mess this morning- I wondered why. Percy wasn't in his cabin.

I went back outside and to the dining hall. The bell rang about five seconds later, kids starting rushing there for dinner. I was glad it was dinner, Percy would be here soon. I sat at his table and waited for him. After about twenty minutes I went to my table and got a plate. I hoped Percy had found somewhere else to eat. He never skipped dinner.

After dinner I went to my cabin and went to sleep early, even though it wasn't nighttime yet none of the others bothered me. Some even went to bed to, thinking I had called lights out. I was lucky that night, I had dreamless sleep. It was nice, no memories of the Tartarus haunting me. I was having a good night, before there was a loud knocking at the door that woke me up.

I went and answered it, the Apollo kid from this morning was at the door. Which meant something was wrong with Grover.

"What happened?" I asked.

"Come on." He starting running to the infirmary. I followed him.

By the time we got there Percy, Thalia, Rachel, Chiron, and Mr. D were already hovering over Grover. Thalia was starting to cry (She never did that), Chiron looked over him sadly, Percy was just standing there. I don't even know how to describe him, he was just standing there. There were a lot of differences from how he normally looked, but there were impossible to describe.

"He's gone." He said simply. "Gone" He looked over at me, so I could see his face.

His normally happy, bright, sea green eyes were darker and sadder. His shoulders were slump and his head went down almost instantly. He walked over to me, making me think

he was going to hug me. Instead he pushed past and walked right out the door.
