Chapter 1

Annabeth's pov

"Percy" I yelled.

Percy went missing a couple of weeks ago. We have looked everywhere for him. We even have the hunters looking for him. The gods went silent so I can't ask any of them. I started to give up hope until last night when I had one of my demi-god dreams. I get them quite often now.

Annabeth's Dream

I looked up to see Hera sitting on a chair looking out a window. She turns and looks at me and gave me a small smile. Now is my chance.

"Where is Percy?" I asked her quickly leaving no room for her to interrupt.

She didn't even blink when I asked her and by the look in her eyes she new something.

"What did you do with him?" I demanded.

"I can't tell you where he is. He is part of my plan you see, to win the war. You will find your answer from the boy with 1 shoe." She answered.

I was happy that I had one clue as to where my boyfriend was, but my hopes were crushed when I realized there were so many places that boy could be.

"Can you tell me where the boy is?" I asked hopefully.

"You will find your answer with 2 demi-gods and the boy. You must wake now it is morning. Good luck Annabeth." Hera replied.

I sighed as I woke up. I got ready for the day and left for breakfast. I sat at my table and started to pick at my food, when Chiron told me that I had to go pick up 2 demi-gods and a special package from the grand canyons. I agreed and me and Butch he is a child of Iris. We took the Apollo cabins chariot and set off to the Grand Canyons. When we got in range of the sky walk I saw 3 kids 2 boys and a girl. Before we landed I jumped out and took my dagger out and ran over to the group. I took a look at the group as I ran forward. They were all demi-gods. I looked at there feet and noticed that the blonde kid had only 1 shoe. My hopes raised I looked around and saw that Percy was now where to be seen.

"Where is he" I demanded.

I stared at them with anger to find that Percy wasn't here.

"Where's who?" The blonde guy asked.

I frowned he was supposed to be the answer to finding Percy. I turned to the other two.

"What about Gleeson, your protector, Gleeson Hedge?" I asked.

The short elfish kid cleared his throat.

"He got taken from some ummmm….tornado things."

"Venti, storm spirits." The blonde kid said.

I arched my eyebrows and looked at the blonde haired kid.

"You mean anemoi thuellai? That's the Greek term. Who are you and what happened?" I asked.

The blonde hair kid explained all that happened and I found out the girls name was Piper and the elfish kid was named Leo. The blonde hair kid was named Jason. He couldn't remember anything else. I started to get frustrated he was supposed to be here.

"No, no, no! She said he would be here. If I came I would find the answer."

I glared at Jason even though he did nothing wrong I was frustrated with him.

"You were supposed to know where he was. You're the kid with one shoe, the kid I was told about." I growled as I pointed at his missing shoe.

I then turned my glare to the sky.

"What do you want from me? Where is he?" I scream at the sky.

The skywalk started to shake.

"Annabeth we need to leave now. The storm spirits might come back." Butch said.

I blew out a long breath and glared at Jason one more.

"Fine."

I walked towards the chariot when I heard Butch explaining about Percy. A couple minutes later and we were flying through the air. On the way there I explained about half-bloods and about camp when Jason said that our wheel was on fire. Butch told the horses to put on a burst of speed so we could make it to camp in one piece. When I could see again we were spiraling down and Butch was having a hard time getting the horses under control.

"THE LAKE! AIM FOR THE LAKE!' I yelled.

Butch got the horses under control for a second, but that was all we needed as he aimed them for the lake. I few seconds later we landed with a big splash. One of the mermaids grabbed me and brought me to the beach then swam back to get someone else. When I got up I was instantly hit with a blast of warm air. The Hephaestus cabin built leaf blowers that blew hot air to dry you. They built them after the time when we had to crash land in the water for practice so they built them just in case. We were then given blankets when Drew started arguing with Piper.

"Will someone please tell me what claiming is?" piper shouted.

I was about to tell her when I saw Leo being claimed by his dad.

"That is claiming."

Leo looked p to see the symbol and started freaking yelling "Is my hair on fire" as he bobbed his head and weaved as if he were writing something.

"This can't be good." Butch muttered. "The curse…"

"Butch shut up." I said. "Leo you have just been claimed by…."

"A god" Jason interrupted. "Isn't that the symbol of Vulcan?"

"Jason how did you know that?" I asked.

"I don't know." He answered.

I asked Will if he could bring Leo to cabin 9 and to his siblings. He agreed and turned back to Jason and studied him, when I looked at his arm and noticed what looked like a tattoo.

"Jason hold out your arm." I said.

"I've never seen marks like these. Where did you get them?" I asked.

"I'm getting real tired of saying this, but I don't know." He replied.

"They look burned into your skin." I commented.

"They were." He winced. "At least I think they were."

I asked Drew to take him to see Chiron. She left while I talked to Piper about how she got messed with the mist and how being with Jason was a fake memory. I then took her and showed her around the camp when we ended up at Hera's cabin. She pointed out that someone was in there so she pushed the door opened and walked in. Kneeling in front of the statue was the oracle Rachael Dare. She turned around and relaxed when she saw who was there. I said hi and we started talking when she suddenly grabbed Pipers shoulder and started speaking to her, but not in the oracles voice. I tried to pry her fingers off, but they had an iron grip on her. When she let go Piper passed out on the floor. We then brought her to Chiron's office. When we got there we swapped info with Jason about what happened to him.

[A/N I'm going to just skip to the part where they get the quest. It will not be the same as The Lost Hero because after they leave it will most likely not show up until the end.]

After they left I walked to my cabin and grabbed my bag. I checked it one more time to make sure I had everything, then walked to the pine tree and met Thailia and the Stoll's. I then took out a piece of paper the size of a business card. It was the card that me and Percy got from our meeting with Chaos. It was now a very light gray.

"Okay looks like we got a long way to go before we find their base."

I hope you like it. Please leave a review on anything I should fix and if you haven't read the first story of this please do or you might not get some things. Peace!
