Annabeth's POV
I was wandering about the camp in my usual t-shirt and skinny jeans, walking toward the aroma of baked bread right out of the oven. Which really was strange since it was three in the morning.
Anyway, as I came close to the smell, I realized there was a tall blonde guy taking it out of the oven. He looked strangely familiar.
I nearly gasped as I saw a long scar going down from his eye.
Luke Castellan, ex-son of Hermes.
I snapped out of my dream, panting heavily with beads of sweat on my forehead.
That's impossible, Luke is dead. How could he be here again? And why the heck was he making bread?
The thing is, half-blood dreams usually mean something big is happening, or going to happen soon.
Then that means...
No. I don't want to think about it. Hell, I'm going back to sleep.
-4 hours later-
"Annabeth! There you are. Gee,you look like the face of death!"said my boyfriend Percy.
I blinked and shot him a promising glare as we sat in the pavilion. (Yeah, yeah, different tables, but seriously, who cares?) He shot his hands up in surrender.
"Sorry, but what's wrong?" he asked.
"I was thinking about a dream last night. A really weird dream," I told him.
"What about?"
"Luke," I explained once again.
"What?Luke?But, isn't he like...gone?"
"Noooo, he went to go have a meeting with Hades!" I explained, my voice dripping with sarcasm.
Percy raised an eyebrow. "You do know, I can go without your sarcasm."
"Yeah, but what if something happened?" I worried.
"I don't know about you, but I am here to give the one thing anyone wants the most."
"Oh yeah?And what's that?"
"Scrambled eggs for breakfast!" he grinned.
I laughed and I finally took my mind off of that dream. But I still don't know what it means.
I know what you're thinking. The mighty Annabeth not knowing something? *cue gasp* Shut up. I'd like you to tell me what it means.
Nothing? Yeah, I thought so.
Anyway, I have to admit those scrambled eggs were pretty good. I got two plates full of that amazing food. Most people stared, but I didn't really care.
Grover and Percy were still trying to decide whether Grover should stay with his girlfriend or not. I honestly say yes, since she's sweet. Percy said that, too. Grover was starting to agree also. Thank gods. That was like, Grover's longest lasting girlfriend in years.
"Good morning!" the centaur greeted.
"Morning," I replied in a rather shaky voice.
"Good morning,"said Percy and Grover."Jinx!"
I rolled my eyes as they chugged down each others drinks after they said "You owe me a soda!"
"Today is Capture the Flag. Percy, Annabeth, you are team captains, as usual."
Great. Just great. I'm pretty sure my tension got a whole lot bigger. First, the dream. Second,my butt hurts from this hard bench. And last,I have to captain Capture the Flag today!
"Umm, who is the opposing team's captain?"asked Percy.
"The Apollo cabin ," replied Chiron, "2 hours after lunch. Go get your weapons and prepare."
"Guess that's my cue to leave. Later, guys," Grover announced.
"Thanks,see you later," I replied.
The mess hall was starting to get hotter by the minute. Then I sneezed a loud sneeze. Blech, I thought.
"Annabeth? You okay?"asked Percy.
"Yeah, but I don't so feel good. Don't worry, though, I'll feel better by lunch. Bye," I said.
"Later," he waved and left to the Poseidon cabin
