Will's POV
My eyes open. I'm in some sort of room that is totally empty.
I look around and see a door. I knew it wouldn't work, but I still tried to open it. I turn the handle. Locked.
So much for that plan.
I then decide to search the walls. I lay my hand flat against the wall, and walk all around the room. Nothing.
Deciding there was nothing left to do, I sat down, waiting. For what, I had no idea.
After a little while, I heard footsteps approach the door. I heard a click, and the handle started turning.
A woman walked in. She had blondish-brown hair, and a Greek-style dress and sandals on.
"Ah. You're up." She said. Then I remembered something. My mom and I had been on vacation. Was she alright?
"Your mother is fine. We took her back home and told her you arrived safely at camp." She said, sounding bored. "You, however, are very much in danger. A bigger threat awaits you. Don't worry though, you're safe. For now." She was a bit crazy. Then a thought struck me.
"Niobe." I said, sounding a little bit dark.
"Oh, good job. You're a smart boy, aren't you?" I was about to punch her in the nose.
"Well anyway. I must be going. Enjoy the time you spend here. It will be your last." She walked out of the door, locked it, and left.
I curled up into a ball, and prayed to Apollo that my mom was actually safe.
Idalia's POV
Will hadn't arrived at camp yet. I was beginning to worry.
I was sitting on the grass, mainly being bored, when someone came up to me.
"Are you okay?" Leo asked.
"No. Will isn't here yet. He's usually already here by now. Percy said Will arrives before he does. Where could he be?" I asked.
"It's okay." Leo said, sitting down next to me. "Plus, Amara's not here yet. You're not worrying about her." He said.
"That's because she told me she should be here in an hour." I said.
"Last time I checked, that was an hour ago." Amara's voice rang in my ears. I facepalmed.
"Of course it was. Sorry." I said. I was going to meet her by Thalia's tree.
"It's okay." She said. She sat down next to me, and gave me a kiss. "So, what's going on?" She asked.
"Will hasn't arrived yet, and he's usually here by now." Leo recapped.
"I tried calling his mom. She said he should be here." Nico.
"So you decided to join our worrying party?" Leo asked. I elbowed him in the stomach.
"It's not a worrying party. It's just a waiting group." I said. Then I stood up. "I need to train. Leo care to wrestle?" I asked.
"If it takes your mind of this, sure." He responded.
Two seconds later, we were on the ground, rolling over each other. I finally took the lead.
"Okay. We don't wanna be late for dinner, let's go." Amara said.
We stood up, and walked to the pavilion. I don't really have trouble walking anymore. I've memorized the whole camp, so I can freely walk.
I sacrificed my food to my dad, and asked him to make sure Will was safe.
We ate our food, I led Campfire, and then we went to bed.
Since Will wasn't there, I had to call lights out. I almost forgot to, because, well, I can't see.
I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
The same nightmare I had on the way back from my quest, haunted me again. I woke up, screaming Will's name again.
A couple seconds after I sat up, Leo and Amara were on either sides of me.
I put my head on my knees and cried. I couldn't help it.
Will was missing and I have a terrible dream that he's gonna die.
After Leo and Amara finally calm me down, we go to the Big House.
"Chiron?" I said, as soon as I stepped in. I didn't wait for a response. "Will's missing and I had a dream about him dying. Can we do anything?" I asked.
"Unfortunately, we can't just yet. We have to wait until the Oracle gives a prophecy or a god assigns you a quest." He said. By this point Leo, Amara, and I were sitting on the couch.
I couldn't stand it anymore. I pulled my knees up to my chest, and held on to them, crying.
Leo, Amara, and the rest of my friends, who I didn't know were there, tried to cheer me up.
I heard the door open, someone stepped in.
"Ah" Chiron said. "Were glad you could make it, Nico. Please take a seat for the time being." I heard him shuffle across the floor, and sit down.
After a couple minutes of everyone sitting around, me, still crying, I heard a sound. I decided to ignore it though, it didn't matter.
Then everyone moved away from me, and someone sat beside me. They wrapped their arms around me, and rubbed my back.
"Idalia, I can't lie to you, Will is missing." It was Apollo. "The dream you had on the Chariot last year, and the one you've had frequently, could come true. I'm going to issue you a quest. I've already decided who's going." I put my legs down, and hugged him back. He was so warm, like the sun. Ironic, I know. But that was the best way to describe it.
I finally let him go so he could continue. He stood up.
You will go to where you were once before,
Find a secret door,
Retrieve who you came to get,
But the journey is not over yet.
Then he stopped. That was weird.
"Well." Apollo said. "That's an interesting prophecy. Sounded incomplete. Anyway, Idalia, Amara, Nico, and Leo are going to find Will. Again, I will drive you to the cave, you're on your own from there." Then he was gone. I put my head in my hands and sighed.
"Ugh, why is life so complicated?" I asked.
"Because you're a demigod." Percy said. "It's always complicated for us."
"Better go pack." Annabeth said. I stood up, and we all left.
When I got back, I told my cabin what was going on. They all gasped.
"Hey Timmy, want to help me pack?" I asked. Usually I would ask Will, but he wasn't there.
"Of, course." He said.
Hope you liked it. Please review.
Peace out.
