Chapter 1: Strange Dreams
Percy POV
Percy Jackson... son of the sea god... your camp will soon perish. All demigods will burn.
I sat up so fast that I banged my head on the bunk on top of me. That voice... I heard it before, in dreams. Ah, the side effects of being a demigod really suck. I could do with some breakfast, though.
I clambered out of bed and found myself completely alone in the room. Hm, strange. Did I sleep in? Usually here at Camp Jupiter, the college teachers would wake us all up. Nah, never mind. I brushed my teeth, combed my hair, and got dressed. Time to meet Wise Girl.
There she was! Beautiful in her new purple Camp Jupiter T-shirt and casual jeans, Annabeth stood waiting for me at a pillar, studying me with stormy grey eyes like, Why did this guy get up so late?
"Hey Wise Girl!" I waved at her, trying my best not to waver at her fierce look.
"Seriously? Percy," she sighed. "It's 9 a.m.! You've been sleeping for the whole one hour that was supposed to be breakfast!"
"Sorry..." I muttered sheepishly. "But before we head off for lessons, I have some more news to share."
(((((LINE BREAK)))))
Annabeth POV
"So... you've had dreams about this figure that threatens to destroy camp," I repeated. "Sounds like every enemy we've met."
"But this is different!" Percy insisted. "This one was sure. It wasn't just an empty threat like Gaea or Kronos."
I pursed my lips. "Look, Percy, as much as I'd like to return to our hero work, our life is happening here, now. If we go back to save the world from this stuff, we might miss semesters. You remember, our quest to stop Gaea took months. If this is another quest to fight gods or Titans, or even primordials, this may take away a lot of our school life."
"Pwease? At least go back to warn them?" Percy pleaded, looking at me with his adoring 'puppy eyes (more of a seal, actually)'. I couldn't bear to look at those eyes. They always got me. However, as other Roman demigods shot us strange looks, I raised my hands in exasperation. "Fine."
"You're the best!" He kissed and whooped loudly, pumping his fists in the air. "When do we leave?"
I considered this. Reyna and Frank would understand this, but how would we get to Camp Half-blood soon? Or maybe...
(((((LINE BREAK)))))
Annabeth POV
In a flash, a hole burrowed in the ground and Grover leapt out, skidding to a halt.
"You on this job, man?" Percy asked, patting our old friend on the back. "By the way, nice bunny entrance right there."
Grover shivered. "Bla-ha-haaaa! Bunnies! Such bullies!" He started muttering about celery, and bunnies being evil creatures that tortured poor, innocent satyrs.
"Okay. Focus." He gathered himself, then said, "I can get you both to camp, yeah." He looked around him. "I mean, like, the other camp."
"Nice!" I smiled. "How about we get there ASAP? Percy has some news for Chiron."
"What is it, Perce?" Grover asked. "You can tell me."
"Percy's been having some bad dreams," I explained. "Now, we gotta go!"
"Hold up." Percy snapped his fingers. "We gotta tell the praetors. C'mon, guys!" He sprinted off, with me and Grover closely following.

Percy POV
"We can allow you to alert the other camp, yes," Reyna agreed. "But not to go on another life-risking journey to prevent the world from being destroyed."
Frank nodded. "Maybe Hazel can help you out there, but she's really busy training right now, so I'll ask her another time."
I grinned. "Thanks, guys! We'll be right back!" I nodded at Grover, who tapped his hoof at the roots of a nearby tree, which dug into the ground and formed a hole, just big enough for a person to fit through.
Reyna glanced disapprovingly at the satyr. "You were the one who called me RARA?"
Grover pretended to ignore her and said, "Let's go!" He leaped into the hole and disappeared.
"I'll go first," I decided. Then I climbed in and felt myself drop, slide, twist directions, slide... Basically, a very nauseating experience.
After a few seconds, I was thrown out of the underground joyslide and landed with my face in the dirt. Grover bleated, "Percyyyyyy! Get up and away!"
Before I could question, Annabeth flew out of the ground and landed on top of me.
"Ouch," I grumbled, as she slowly recovered her wits and got off me.
"Sorry," she mumbled, pulling me up. "But you probably should have moved first." After I brushed all the soil off me, Grover said, "Welcome home, guys!"
That's it! Hope you liked it, remember to review :)
