Hello there. My previous story "We got bored." Has gotten deleted as you may have noticed. It got deleted because I wasn't keeping with the guidelines on FanFiction so they deleted it. So I've decided to write a fanfic on people discovering Percy was missing at the beginning of The Lost Hero. It's an idea I had a while back so let's see how it goes.
Disclaimer I own none of the characters or anything that is from the Percy Jackson series. They belong to Rick Riordan.
Annabeth POV.
It was a normal Sunday night. I ate my meal at the Athena table and afterwards I sat with Percy through the campfire.
I always loved campfire because it was one of the only times Percy and I could act even remotely like a couple. During training we acted like enemies. During Capture the flag we acted like leaders of an army or something to that extent. And we rarely sat near each other for meals, so it was nice to have some time with eachother.
After campfire we got up together and went on a walk down to the lake where we had our first kiss. I was glad that he was finally here. He got off school about a week before it ended telling the principle that he was ill. We planned what we would do for the rest of the week before he went to New York to spend the holidays with his mum Sally and his step dad Paul. I had been invited too but I wasn't sure if I'd go or not.
At about 10 we decided to go to bed because we were both tired. He walked me to my cabin and kissed my cheek promising he'd come to my cabin early to practice together. I honestly doubted it. He liked his sleep nearly as much as he liked food.
I smiled as I walked into my cabin. Out my window I could see him entering his own cabin. I changed for bed and began to read for a little while before calling lights out and getting some sleep.
The next morning I was startled awake by Malcolm. He woke me to tell me we need to get to breakfast. I wasn't surprised to see Percy hadn't woken me.
"Stupid seaweed brain." I thought to myself fondly. I waited until everyone was ready before leading them to breakfast. As usual we were the seconds one's there after the Apollo cabin. I took a seat waiting for the rest of the cabins to join before breakfast started.
I kept an eye out for Percy as everyone else trooped in. It was 10 minutes after I had arrived and he still wasn't there but I thought nothing of it. He often slept in.
Breakfast was served and we began eating. I sacrificed some of my food to my mother. After breakfast I went to wake Percy up because it didn't look like he was going to wake himself up.
I knocked on the door to make sure he'd be decent when I entered. I got no answer so I opened the door slightly and looked in. I couldn't hear or see anything so I opened the door fully and opened the curtains. Percy wasn't there.
His bed was still unmade so I walked over. The bed was stone cold so he had been gone a while. I frowned and checked the bathroom. Nothing.
"Maybe he went to train early?" I thought before frowning. He wouldn't have gone without me. But I decided to check regardless because he hadn't been in his cabin for a while.
I checked all over the camp and he was no where to be found. I was beginning to panic slightly. I went to people from all different cabin's to ask if they had seen him but no one had seen him since last night.
I went down to the lake to see if he was down there. When I got there I noticed the sunlight hitting the water. Of course! I could IM him and see where he was. I raced up to his cabin to the water fountain he had in there that Tyson had fixed.
I quickly fished out a Drachma and threw it in the rainbow.
"Oh Iris goddess of rainbow and messenger of the gods. Please show me Perseus Jackson." I said clearly. The rainbow shimmered slightly and I bit my lip before a female voice spoke.
"I am afraid Perseus is unable to answer this call. He is either too far to answer or he is unconscious. Please try again later." The voice of Iris said.
My heart started to beat fast. The only place to far away to call was the underworld and that would mean he was dead. And if he was unconscious they meant unconscious unconscious so not just sleeping.
I quickly left the cabin and ran up to the Big House. "Chiron!" I shouted "I need help."
Right away Chiron was with me.
"What's wrong my dear?" He asked concerned. "Are you or any of the others hurt?" He asked me.
"No, no one's hurt or at least I don't think so. It's about Percy... I think... I think he's gone missing." I hated speaking those words out loud. It made it more real.
"Missing? Why do you think that my dear? Are you sure he's not just busy doing something?" He asked
"I've checked everywhere and asked so many people and he's no where to be found!" I said speaking quickly.
"Start from the beginning." He suggested.
"Well, I saw him last night and he told me we'd go training early so we wouldn't get interrupted. He never showed up in the morning but I wasn't surprised. He never went to breakfast so I checked his cabin. It was empty and the bed was cold. I checked everywhere and asked everyone and he's no where to be found. I IMed him and Iris told me He's either to far away or unconscious and I don't no what to do." I said speaking quickly and panic entering my voice.
I was usually quite logical and didn't panic easily but this was Percy. He had more enemies than friends and anyone of Kronos's followers could have it out for him. He could be badly injured my know or worse dead.
Chiron hmmed. "Well, that is strange. I shall contact the Gods and see if they are aware of his ware bouts. Until then maybe you should contact Thalia or Nico and see if they know? They might be able to help." He said and I nodded.
"Thank you Chiron." I said before leaving the Big house. I wouldn't contact Sally yet. I didn't want to panic her if it turned out he was fine. If he wasn't here by tomorrow I would. Until then I'd just have to search my hardest to find him.
I re-entered Percy's room to IM Nico and Thalia. They both promised to keep an eye out for him. Soon the conch went for lunch.
I went to lunch and when I sacrificed some food for the Gods and when I did I prayed Percy would be found.
Afterwards I went to Chiron to see if the Gods knew. "They told me they have no idea where he was either I'm afraid." He told my and my heart dropped.
"Don't worry, my dear. We'll find him. If he had passed away Hades would know and would have told his son at least." He said. There was still a glimmer of hope but it wasn't very big.
I sighed. He better show up soon.
So this was the first chapter of Out of Sight. Always on the Mind. I hope you enjoyed. Please leave a review and tell me what you think. Maybe it's terrible but it was an idea I had and I wanted to give it ago.
