Percy's last thought was that he couldn't let Annabeth get hurt by those demon ladies.
Well, he have had a lot of encounters with "demon ladies;" Furies, Fates, even 'curses' in Tartarus. Demon ladies were all the same. Old, cackling, and creepy. These demons were no different, except they looked almost like old demigods. Really old demigods, that used Imperial Gold and Celestial Bronze.
They really got the spring on him and Annabeth while they were chilling at the state park, courtesy of Grover. The ladies had sprung out of the bushes while Annabeth and I were having a picnic and talking about New Rome and Leo. After bashing me in the head a few hundred times, they had took Annabeth away.
And now Percy lay, weak and helpless as they walked away with Annabeth's unconscious form slung over their shoulder like a bag. A body bag, more like.
He reached out my senses and searched desperately for a source of water that he could gain strength from, but found none.
Like, what in Hade's? he thought. A nature state park, with no water to spare?
"Nooooooo!" Percy wailed in his head. His fatal flaw was loyalty, and it broke him inside to see his friend, his girlfriend, taken away from him.
No, no, NO!
"Percy? Percy, are you alright?"
Percy's eyes flew open and immediately was blinded by the bright light. "Wha?"
Annabeth was leaning over him, her eyes wide with worry. "Are you alright, Percy? You literally just yelled so loud I could hear you from my—"
FWOOOOOSH!
Uh oh. The toilets just exploded. Again.
"You stupid Seaweed Brain!" yelled Annabeth. One moment she was all love-y dove-y and caring, the next she was ticked off. Just great.
While she was ranting on and on, he thought about my dream. Demigod dreams were never just there. They had meaning. So what could demon ladies abducting Annabeth and me having no water to spare in a nature park mean?
Hmm...
