I got up from the bed. My fatigue had disappeared, at least, for the moment. I had to admit, the Poseidon cabin interior was very well painted and decorated. I looked at myself in the mirror. For a brief moment, I saw a 12 year old version of myself, but it soon disappeared in the blink of an eye. I was 22 years old now, as was Percy. The other five demigods who were part of the Prophecy of Seven were in their twenties. My head started to ache. Not again, I thought. I had known Percy for ten years, dated him for six, and...

"Annabeth?" a voice asked.

I saw Chiron there. He was in his wheelchair. Everyone knew that Chiron was really a centaur and his wheelchair fooled others into thinking that he was a human.

"Oh hello Chiron." I said.

"Is everything alright?" he asked.

"I'm fine." I answered.

"Are you sure?" he responded. "You've been acting rather strangely since yesterday."

"I said I'm fine. Please, just leave me alone." I said.

"Remember Annabeth, if there's anything that's troubling you, you can tell me about it." Chiron said, before rolling himself away in his wheelchair.

In reality, I wasn't fine. Nothing was alright. I couldn't tell anyone what troubled me. I got out the small box underneath my pillow. I looked at the test again. I remember the results after seeing it. I creaked open the door of the showers. We were here visiting Camp Half Blood after not having stepped foot in this haven for years. Percy stood outside the showers with his foot against the wall. I sighed and exited the bathroom.

"Well, what's the result?" he asked.

I knew he was going to ask me that. Why did I feel nervous?

"I'm pregnant." I answered.

"Now what are we going to do?" he asked. "When your mother finds out, she'll..."

"I'll what?" said a voice behind them. They turned around. Percy gasped as I widened my eyes in shock.

"Mother?" I asked.

"Athena?" Percy gulped again.

Percy gulped. He had every right to be worried. My mother, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, was not pleased. Her hair was black and wavy. She stood wearing a blue chemise dress where her feet couldn't be seen. She wore a black thread and purple ribbon charm bracelet around her left wrist. Her eyes were grey and full of anger.

"Uh, how long have you been standing there?" Percy asked.

"Long enough." Athena answered. "I can't believe you had the nerve to do something so... despicable and reckless!" She grabbed him by the collar and threw him onto the ground a few feet away from us.

"What was that for?!" Percy asked.

"Don't play dumb, young man. I know that you raped her, and now look what's happened!"

"What?!" we both asked in unison.

Athena threw him against the wall of the showers.

"I never raped her! I would never do that!" Percy exclaimed. "What makes you think that I would ever commit such a crime?"

"I knew you were trouble Perseus Jackson!" Athena yelled, grabbing him by the collar.

"Mother, stop it!" I yelled. She turned towards me. "Percy never molested me. You're the goddess of wisdom, and the Greek/Roman god personality disorder was cured long ago. Why would you be jumping to irrational conclusions?"

"I did not jump to a conclusion." she answered. "Someone told me this. Now confess to the truth, and I might just let you live."

"I never did anything." Percy calmly stated.

"Fine then." Athena stated. "Meet me on the roof of the One World Observatory at sunset. If you don't show up, I'll find you, burn you, and bring trouble to everyone in this camp who is not descended down from me. The other cabins will burn and this area will be destroyed first!"

Then she disappeared. Percy was stunned.

"Percy, I..." I tried to say, sounding all choked up.

"I gotta go." he said.

He dived into the lake and he never came back up. Since he was a son of Poseidon, and therefore, could breathe underwater, it was impossible for him to drown. So the real question is where did he go, and when will he return? I was glad that Percy was the only resident here, as I didn't think I would fit in the Athena cabin. Mother probably told my half-siblings what she thinks happened. And those events occurred yesterday. Tonight, Percy was going to face her on the roof of one of New York City's tallest buildings in an area with no water for him to use his hydrokinesis powers. This was very very bad.

"Annabeth?" Malcolm asked.

Malcolm Pace was my half-brother and head of the Athena cabin when I wasn't around.

"What are you doing here? Why aren't you with our fellow demigods?" he asked.

"Did Chiron tell you I was here?" I asked.

"No, but still, why are you here?" Malcolm asked. "Is it because you miss Percy?"

"You could say that." I said. "He left and he never told me where he was going."

"Why don't you Iris-message him?" Malcolm asked.

"To be honest, I hadn't even thought about that at all." I said. I created a rainbow and tossed in a golden drachma from the fountain. "Oh goddess, Iris, accept my offering." I stayed silent for a few seconds. "Show me Percy Jackson."

An image of Tyson formed in the rainbow. He was in the Forges of the Cyclopes.

"Oh, Annabeth! I haven't heard from you in ages." Tyson said.

"Where's Percy?" I asked.

"He's with daddy asking him for advice." Tyson answered. "I heard he has to fight Athena. Don't know why..."

"Is Percy in the Palace of Poseidon?" Malcolm asked.

"Last I looked, which was about 30 minutes ago, Percy was training to fight Athena." Tyson said. "Do you want me to try and find him?"

"If possible, yes." I answered. Then a paper wad was thrown at his head.

"What's this?" Tyson asked. He picked it up. "'If Percy's lady is asking you where he is, he just left. Now get back to work!' I guess he left. I gotta go before the boss blows a fuse." The cyclops waved his hand through the rainbow, cutting off the connection.

"What time is it, Malcolm?" I asked.

"It's ten til two," he answered.

I looked at the window. The sun would set completely by 6pm.

"We don't have much time." I said.

"I don't think you could stop a fight between Percy and our mother." Malcolm said.

"I know," I answered, turning away from the window and looking back at him. "And that's what worries me. Even if Percy survives, what will happen afterwards?"

"I wish I could tell you, Annabeth." Malcolm said.

He walked away, leaving me in despair. There were very few campers due to it being late fall (and soon to turn to winter), but even then, I didn't want to see anyone unless it was Percy or my mom. I knew it seemed hopeless, but I wanted to believe that I could talk her out of this fight. I knew it was a long shot. I'd probably just get the power from my Yankees Cap taken away again. That only happened once after I got into an argument with my mother in her Roman goddess form, Minerva. She wanted me to leave Percy to die because he was with the Romans. Now Athena wanted him dead again, albeit for a different reason. I got out the Yankees Cap and put it on. So the magic wasn't gone. I stepped out of the Poseidon cabin and saw a small bit of snow fall past the borders of Camp Half Blood. I felt terrible. Percy was about to fight my mother and I was powerless to stop it.

"What am I do to?" I asked myself.
