"CONNOR TRAVIS!" Clarrise's voice blasted through the mess hall causing the Stoll brothers to flinch.
"Clarisse I don't know what we did" Travis started
"But it wasn't us" Connor finished, his arms up in surrender.
"Do you think this is funny" Clarisse snarled at them, waving a piece of paper in Connor's face.
"Whoa what is this?" Connor said snatching the paper out of her hand.
"I might ask you the same question"
"Connor what's it say?" Travis asked.
The color drained from Connor's face, "Clarisse" he said looking up at her wide eyed "where did you find…"
"It was at the alter"
"my brother and I pull a lot of stuff, but, we aren't as dumb as we act, The camp is preparing for war against the Roman's, The ArgoII is half way around the world, and the last time we heard, Percy and Annabeth had…had…fallen into…" Connor couldn't finish, but Clarisse, and the large group of campers who were now gawking at the source of the commotion knew what he was going to say.
Tartarus, Percy and Annabeth had fallen into Tatarus.
"Stoll, that's, Why this is not…"
"Clarisse Shut up" Travis said.
"Why you little…"
"This is no time to be fighting amongst ourselves, I know my brother, and he did not do whatever it is that you think he did"
"Then explain what that note says because I can't"
Travis peered over at the note, his eyes widened with shock. "Well whoever it was, it was not us… it says Connors name, we aren't that stupid as to sign our own prank"
"What's it say" Katie Gardener asked from where the Demeter campers stood.
"Connor," Connor said reading the note. "Give this to Rachel, This is not a joke, Don't be a moron, Love…A…Anna…Love Annabeth" The last part came out as a whisper, but everyone heard it, the entirety of camp half-blood's eyes widened with shock.
"But…But how…How could it be from…Annabeth" Malcolm said stepping forward… "Is this someone's sick idea of a joke" He sounded mad, Connor understood, if someone thought they were being funny the Stoll was pretty pissed off too.
"Malcolm… she's your sister, is this…really…from…" The boy didn't finish, as much as he wanted it to be true, he couldn't say it out loud. He just handed the note to Malcolm; the entire room was holding its breath.
"That's her hand writing" Malcolm said.
"But…but how?" Clarisse said. Looking around the room for an answer, but no one knew.
"It said give this note to Rachel" Wil Solace said, "Maybe she'll know what to do, maybe she's seen something?"
"Well then, Wil, Connor and I'll go get Rachel, Malcolm you go get Chiron, tell him we need an emergency counselor meeting, and Katie Travis, don't keep the people in here from blowing their tops after we leave." Katie and Travis nodded.
"Okay then, let's go" Connor said, and he Wil and Clarisse went off to find the Oracle of Delphi.
