Saving the Fleece...Again!

I don't own Percy Jackson (I wish!)

Percy's Pov

There I was, Monday morning, enjoying breakfast, when of course something out of the ordinary happened. Not that unordinary things don't happen a lot at Camp Half Blood, I mean they do all the time, but this was really weird, even for me.

"The golden fleece is gone!" Lee Fletcher, a camper reported.

"What!" I yelped! How the heck did that happen?

"But, how?" Annabeth asked? "Who could get past Peleus?"

"Yeah", I reliped, "He's like a 6 foot dragon!"

Chiron frowned. "I think the question is not as much how, but who?"

"We need border patrol!" Annabeth shouted. There she was thinking strategy as usual. "If the golden fleece is no longer strengthening the borders, we are going to need as much protection as possible."

"Indeed", Chiron agreed. "Clarisse lead the Ares cabin on border patrol! Everyone else back to your cabins, except the cabin leaders, meet in the big house!" Everyone scrambled, except for me, Thaila, Annabeth, Silena, the Travis brothers, and the other cabin leaders.

As soon as we got into the Big House. Annabeth jumped into a series of rapid plans. What we should do, battle patrol duties, etc. However Chiron cut her off. "I do believe we have a bigger problem at hand." Chiron explained. He never got to finish his sentence, because right then and there, Thaila fainted.

Annabeth and I leaped toward her, knocking over many chairs in the process. After we had gotten her to the infirmary, Annabeth started to cry. Oh great sympathetic Percy time, Lets just say I wasn't great at comforting people.

"Oh Percy, what are we going to do, first Luke now Thaila." She cried.

"What do you mean, Annabeth" I cautiously asked. "Thaila will be fine, she probably just was dehydrated or hungry."

"Don't you understand anything Seaweed Brain?", she asked tears falling everywhere. I didn't like where this was going. "The fleece is what healed Thaila from a tree back into a person, with the fleece gone, she will become weaker and weaker until she….she…."

"Dies?" I asked quietly. Annabeth nodded. Oh great, another quest, I thought. "Do you want me to consult the oracle?" I asked. She nodded again. Oh wonderful, back to the mummy.
