Annabeth looked around for Percy, even though she knew he would'nt be there. She felt the lump in her throat come back and felt the tears come back. She felt one slide down her cheek. Angry she wiped it away and got to her feet.

Get up! She thought to herself Keep looking!

Annabeth stood considering what to do next. What she was doing seemed impossible, but Piper, Leo, and Jason's quest was far worse.

Taking a deep breath she grabbed her backpack and decided to head to New York City. Maybe she would find some clues.

She took off down the road in search of a ride. As she ran she remembered the night Percy went missing.

Flashback

It was windy and cold but the fire was warm. Everyone was happy that thier lives were going back to normal, as normal as a demigod's life can be. The campfire had just ended and everyone was slowly going back to their cabins.

"Night Annabeth! See you in the morning!" Percy called to her.

"Night!" Annabeth called back.

Percy kissed Annabeth on the cheek and turned away, walking back to his cabin. Annabeth waved goodbye.
