Percy Jackson was smiling in his sleep.

"Percy, Percy . . . wake up" said Sally Jackson also smiling.

Percy woke up with a huge yawn. He was really happy but he didn't remember why. Then it came to him. He was finally going to see Annabeth! She had been gone for two weeks on vacation with her mortal family. She came back last night and he was spending all day with her today. He was supposed to meet her at Central Park by "their tree" at 9. He looked at the time, it was 8:50.

"AAH, ANNABETH IS GONNA KILL ME!" Percy yelped.

Percy threw on some clothes and gobbled down his breakfast as fast as he could. Suddenly his phone rang and he looked at it in confusion.

Percy's POV

I wonder who's calling. Not a lot of people had his number because his phone was only for emergencies. Using cell phones for demigods was like telling monsters I hope you're hungry cause I taste good.

When I opened my phone it said that Annabeth was calling. Annabeth never used her phone unless it was for emergencies! Quickly I answered the phone.

"Percy they're here and they want –Aaaah!" Annabeth said into her phone.

Suddenly the phone went dead and I just stared at it in shock for about 30 seconds.

"Percy, honey is everything ok?" Sally asked him.

"Mom, A . . . Annabeth . . . Percy stammered.

"Is Annabeth ok? What happened? What did she say? You know what take these keys and go to her! Hurry! " Sally said in one breath.

My battlefield reflexes were pretty much the only reason I was already moving because I was still in shock. Oh Gods I hope Annabeth is okay. I was driving as fast as the car would go and not caring that I could get in major trouble for speeding. Annabeth was the only thing on my mind now.

Annabeth's POV

Oh Gods . . . I was surrounded by monsters. It was actually kind of funny because a lot of mortals were passing by but no one saw these scary looking monsters. It was the kind of thing Percy would have pointed out. If only Percy was here, he'd save me, he was always there for me . . . Annabeth Chase, CONCENTRATE! Wait, that voice is familiar. . .

"Annabeth just tell us where Perceus Jackson is and we'll leave you alone. There's no where to run. We know everything about you, like where you live for instance with your dad, step - mom, and two step – brothers." Spoke a voice from behind the monsters.

"Think about it. We won't hurt you if you tell us, but try and hurry because these monsters here think you look like a delicious meal!"

"I'll never tell you where Percy is!!" Annabeth yelled at the voice.

Oh my Gods! This guy has been following me around! And they're after Percy! Why did I tell him I'm in trouble! He's coming right now! I have to warn him to stay away but how?

Suddenly all the monsters and a couple of half – bloods advanced on me, closing me in. All I had was my knife. But I wasn't just going to give up. I slashed and jabbed as fast as I could, everywhere I could. But I knew it wasn't enough. They came closer and closer. Then all at once the monsters attacked. I put on my invisibility hat hoping I could sneak out in the entire ruckus. I felt a sharp pain on the back of my head and swiftly my vision started going black. I tried hard not to pass out but I was only able to stagger a few steps before I fell to the ground. My invisibility cap fell off and the last thing I saw was a blurry face above me.

Percy's POV

I got to the tree we always meet at and it was a mess. There was dirt, grass and leaves everywhere. Looks like there had been a fight here. My heart all of a sudden sunk because near the tree I saw two things: Annabeth's knife and her invisibility cap. I walked over and picked them up. I let out a gasp because they were both covered in blood.
