Percy's POV
I was at the arena, playing with Mrs.O'Leary after more than a year. It felt good to be at camp, carefree, my family safe and everything back to normal.
I tossed the shield and shouted"Fetch girl!"
I watched in satisfaction as she bounded off with the shield. I had a relaxing week ahead of me. Annabeth was going to be arriving any moment now. Then, Chiron had given us permission to go to the city. We would grab an ice-cream and go to the movies together. And then, Paul, Mom, Annabeth and me would go to Montauk to spend a week in the beach cabin we had always been going to for ages. It was a perfect plan. But then, why did I have a nagging feeling that I was surrounded by enemies. The voices in my head were telling me to run. I was knocked out of my thoughts by a blonde who wrapped her arms around me.
Annabeth, can't breathe!
She let go and muttered "Sorry, I missed you"(AN:Percy's lines are in italics)
"Yeah, me too"
"So,you planned anything?"
"Well, I have the perfect day planned"
"Percy Jackson has plans? Any other surprises?Cuz i'm impressed!"
"So, my mom will pick us up in about half an hour to go to the city and we'll start to Montauk tonight"
"Sounds good to me. Well, I'll be in my cabin. "
An hour later we were sitting in 10below and chatting away. Annabeth told me about San Francisco. She had topped the college again (duh) and they had been organizing special classes for her. The waitress arrived with our ice-creams. Annabeth started talking about her new plans for Mount Olympus.
As usual, I zoned out. The voices come back. They told me that I had to get up and run. I threw some cash on the table for the waitress and dragged Annabeth out onto the street and broke into a run. Hardly a minute later we saw a fire engine going to the ice - cream parlor It had been electrified and all the people were dead.
Now that was a close call
But the voices weren't done yet.
They kept urging me to run.
And that's what we did
