Chapter 1:

As she stepped out onto the deck of the Argo II wind hit her like a slap in the face. It whipped her golden blonde hair behind her as she walked over to the side of the massive boat. When she looked out over the railing she saw clouds and when she looked down she saw houses and fields whizzing by. Judging by all the fields and farmhouses we're most likely in the Midwest. She turned her head to see Piper making her way over to her. "Hey, Annabeth, you okay?" Piper asked tilting her head slightly. Annabeth didn't respond. She looked at the wooden floorboards analyzing every detail intently. Bent nail there, great job, Leo. "Annabeth," She repeated. Annabeth looked up at her for a second then turned back to look at the scenery. "You know you can't ignore me forever," Piper tried again desperately. She walked over and leaned on the railing next to Annabeth.

"Watch me," She replied dully. Annabeth looked over at Piper and she could tell Piper was probably giving her some lecture because of the way her mouth was moving up and down. A smile briefly crossed her face at the thought that in a few minutes Piper would realize she was talking to herself. But then grief and sadness overwhelmed her and she was once again lost in thought. There's a lake… Percy. There's a horse… Percy. There's a cow… Hera... Percy. It went on like that for quite a while… and Piper talked to herself for quite a while. Finally, Annabeth decided to put Piper out of her misery. "Piper, there's nothing that you could tell me right now that would possibly make me feel any better."

"Ugh, you're so stubborn," Piper teased shaking her head.

"I got it from my Momma," Annabeth said pausing to smile just a little. But then Annabeth felt something. It was a searing pain located in… her brain? She immediately placed her fingers on her forehead and began to rub it. The pain just became worse. The scene before her faded and she couldn't hear anything but her own heart beat. A picture began to surface in her mind. It was fuzzy for a few seconds but then it came into focus. Annabeth's heart nearly stopped. Percy was running out of a large tunnel with an old woman in his arms. Another kid around Percy's age that Annabeth didn't recognize was running in front of him towards a large camp-like area. Then the tunnel Percy had just come from exploded and a young dark-skinned girl around the age of thirteen came running out. They were all in a dead sprint toward the large river that separated the camp from the area around it, when two gorgons busted through the rubble and continued to pursue them. The trio finally reached the river but Percy hesitated to cross. The old woman said something to Percy but he didn't seem to care and crossed the river anyway. Once across he turned and used the river water to destroy the gorgons. He turned around to see that the old woman had turned into Hera. The vision stopped and blackness consumed her once again and the only sound she could hear was the dull thumping of her own heart. Then she sat bolt upright gasping for breath and coughing.

"Guys, come quickly! She's alive!" Piper called out from beside her. Jason and Leo rushed to her side to see Annabeth gasping for air and looking like she'd seen a ghost. "Annabeth, what happened?"

"I-I-I…" Annabeth faltered. She'd seen him. Sure it was a crazy vision that came out of nowhere but she'd seen him.

"Piper, I think she needs some rest," Jason said looking worried.

"Jason, we'll be there in about an hour! She has no time!" Leo exclaimed waving his hands sporadically around his head to emphasize the point.

"Fine, just make sure she doesn't do that again when we get there," Jason said while rubbing his head as if he had a headache.

"Don't worry, Jason, I'll handle it," Piper said gently. Jason nodded to her thankfully and went off with Leo to steer the boat. Annabeth looked up at Piper with a glazed over expression.

"P-P-Piper," She rasped out. "I saw Percy." Annabeth then explained to Piper her vision not skipping over any of the details. The area that Percy had been in reminded her of San Francisco. She was actually pretty sure that the camp he had been running to was Camp Jupiter. That's where the Romans were. That's where they were going now. To do what she'd been attempting for almost nine months now, to find Percy.

How was it? I'll never know if you don't tell me so... review!
