Ok...So I've written a few other stories. I hate them! Hopefully this one will be a lot better! I have a lot of faith in it! I don't have the best grammar, but I'm trying my best!
I'm quite surprised at how much a friendship can grow between people. A few years ago, I was friendless and lonely. Frankly, I thought I was going to stay that way forever. But the gods
have blessed me with a wonderful best friend. I don't really deserve her, but then again, the hero of prophecy does deserve something. Doesn't he? I saw my blond haired friend sitting in
her room reading something in Ancient Greek. She was smiling at the book. I stared for a few seconds, then left and gave her her privacy.
"Percy, what did you need?" Annabeth asked. I turned around to find her annoyed face. It was hard not to laugh because she tried her hardest to put on a look that would scare me. She
would try so hard that her face would get all scrunched up. "Just seeing what you were up to. Why?"
"Well Seaweed brain, I was reading!" I smiled. " I was just leaving to give you your privacy!" She checked her watch and swore in Ancient Greek. "Archery started 10 minutes ago. Those
Apollo kids are gonna kill me!" She set a bookmark in her book and set it on her desk. She then, grabbed her bag and ran out the door. I don't know if it was ADHD or just curiosity, but I
went over to Annabeth's book and looked at it. It was called Ρωμαίος και Ιουλιέτα, Romeo and Juliet. I opened the book to the page she was at. Her book mark fell out. It was a picture of
Annabeth and I laughing with our arms each other. I smiled at it. I set it on the bed and sat down.
"Δεν Romeo. Thy δεν μπορούν να φύγουν. Twas την αγάπη μας, που έσωσε την πόλη! Παρακαλώ αγαπητέ Romeo, σου δεν μπορεί να με αφήσει!" (No Romeo. Thy can not leave. Twas our
love that saved the town! Please dear Romeo, you can not leave me!) Annabeth hated romances. That's probably why she was smiling. It made her happy that Juliet couldn't have
Romeo. If I was reading it, I probably would have smiled too. Why was Annabeth reading this though in the first place. She walked in all sweaty! Her face went red.
"Erm...Silena is forcing me to read it and finish it before the 12th or...! She said If I didn't..." She changed her voice to a sad impression of Silena's. "You'll regret it!" She took the boofrom
my hands and smiled. "Now you have archery, because I have to take a shower." Although I didn't have archery, I did have to respect her privacy, so I left. Before I left though, I said to her,
"Annabeth, I just wanted you to know that you are an awesome friend!" She smiled. "Ditto!"

The next day, I sat with Grover by the lake to just chill for a bit. "Whats up with Annabeth?" He asked. I become suddenly confused.
"What do you mean?"
"Man, you know what I mean!" He said. I looked through my mind of all the events that happened with Annabeth. She did seem kinda angry at me. Then I thought of something.
"A couple days ago, I canceled something with here to go hang with Rachel before she left on her cruise." A look of realization appeared on Grover's face.
"I guess I'd better go talk to her..." I said.
"Ya think?" He sarcastically replied. But before we could make it down the hill, Katie Gardner ran up to me. "Chiron needs you! Stat!" She said out of breath! I ran to the big house to find a
worried Chiron. "What's wrong?" I asked worriedly!
"Silena, She's missing." I was shocked. "We also did an accounting to make sure everything was here. The only thing missing was Annabeth's copy of Romeo and Juliet." Then something
hit me. "Erm...Silena is forcing me to read it..She said if I didn't finish it by the 12th, I'd regret it!" I looked at the calender on the wall. July 13. Crap. Annabeth was at the end, but she
wasn't finished. "I need You, Annabeth, and Thalia to go on a quest to get her back. Can you handle that?" I nodded.
"Where's Thalia?" I asked.
"She should be here with the hunters any minute now." I nodded and headed toward the stairs for the 2nd floor. Up there, I found the oracle sitting on her stool looking scarier then
ever. Green smoke slithered from her mouth as she spoke the prophecy.
3 shall go on a quest, but be joined by another.
Complications will occur from a young girl's mother.

that turns and takes ones voice.
