Chapter 1

Two people could be seen huddling together at the base of a tree. It was pitch black and you could only see as far as ten to twelve feet in front of them. Snow gently fell around them, but never onto them. Instead it created a perfect circle around them. The two continued to hold each other tightly, visibly shaking and shivering.

There was two backpacks on the ground next to them, the contents were scattered on the ground around them. One of the people reached out to the side and grabbed a spare flashlight that had been by their foot. They quickly flicked it on and angled it towards them for more light.

The figure who grabbed the flashlight was now revealed to be a man around the age of eighteen. He had pitch black, messy hair along with vibrant sea green eyes that seemed to change shades depending on his mood. He angled the light towards his companion on his right.

She looked to be about seventeen, with brown hair. She had a darker skin tone than the man, seeming to come from a Native American descent. Her eyes never seemed to settle on one color, always changing. One minute they could be a vibrant sky blue, the next they could be a dark red.

Both of their heads shot up as they heard a loud growl a little ways away. They let go of each other and started throwing the items back into their bags. The man shoved the flashlight into his pocket before continuing to throw the rest of the items in. Soon, the man finished and was putting on his bag when he glanced over at the girl.

She seemed to struggle from the cold and was still shaking. He slid next to her and quickly helped her pick up the rest of the items. He threw the bag around her shoulders and tightened the straps so it wouldn't fall off. Then he got up and pulled the girl with him, throwing her right arm around his shoulders and reaching his arm around her waist for support.

Then he reached down and withdrew the flashlight from his pocket. He quickly turned it on and angled it towards the forest. He shined it in random directions, making sure that there was no danger around them. Once he deemed the area safe, they started to walk.

The man was doing most of the walking, having to drag the girl along. She was still shaking uncontrollably, trying her best to stay still to make it easier for the man, but not succeeding. She had a sheath on her side, which used to hold her dagger. The man grabbed the sheath with his hand, which steadied her in his arms. The perfect circle of snow followed them as the walked, making sure they stayed dry.

They continued to shuffle forward through the snow for about twenty minutes. At this point the girl could barely hold herself up and so the man started to carry her. He continued to shine the flashlight in different places, looking for any threats. He then saw what looked to be some sort of structure in the distance.

As he neared the structure he shined the flashlight around inspecting it. It looked to be an old cabin, probably used on hunting or fishing trips. The roof was covered in snow with icicles hanging off the edge. As he reached the wall of the cabin, he only saw a window that was closed shut. He made his way around the corner and quickly found the door.

After gently placing the girl on the ground he grabbed the doorknob. He tried opening door only to find it frozen shut. He took a couple of steps back before ramming his shoulder into the door, trying to bust it open. The door shook, but didn't budge. He quickly backed up and rammed the door again.

Snow fell off of the roof due to the force of his hit. The door creaked, becoming weaker with each hit. Once more he rammed the door again, and this time it flew open. With the door opened he picked the girl back up and quickly stepped into the cabin, shutting the door with his foot behind him.

After taking a quick look around the cabin to make sure it was truly empty, he set the girl down on one of the chairs. She quickly brought her knees up to her chest and wrapped her arms around them, trying to stop shivering.

Shining the flashlight around the cabin, the man guessed that the cabin had probably been abandoned for quite a while.

It was a rather small cabin, with a table, a couple of chairs, a fireplace, and a set of bunkbeds in the corner. He took off his backpack and set it in the corner before removing the girl's bag from her back and throwing it next to his.

He bent down and picked up the girl and walked slowly over to the beds and placed her on the lower bunk. There were a couple of folded blankets at the foot of the bed so he grabbed those and draped them over her.

He reached out and pulled a chair up to the bed, taking a seat next to her head. She didn't seem to be shivering as much as before, but it didn't stop. He continued to watch her tiredly, fighting to keep himself awake. Soon to girl's quick breathing slowed, before settling on a regular pace.

Noticing the girl was asleep, he climbed onto the bunk above her, the bed creaked with the increased weight. Resting his head on the pillow, he wrapped himself up in the blanket that had been up there and quickly fell asleep.


Two people stood outside of a coffee shop, a car parked in front of them. One was a girl, around seventeen or eighteen with bright blond hair and piercing gray eyes. The other was a boy, around the same age, with blond hair as well, but had bright blue eyes.

Snow floated down in front of them, covering the ground. "They should've been back by now." The girl said, looking over at the boy. He had a troubled look on his face as he stared out at the forest by the road, as if waiting for something.

The girl sighed and thought about the quest. The gods had sent the team of four on a quest in Alaska, the land beyond the gods. They offered little to no information, only stating that there was a threat that they had to take care of. So, the four quest members had decided that it would be best if they split up into pairs to search for the threat.

Both groups had left after making sure that they split the supplies evenly. None of them knew how long it was going to take so they had agreed to reconvene after three hours of searching. If they hadn't found the threat by then, they would have to try again tomorrow.

That had been seven hours ago. They had agreed to meet each other here, at this coffee shop, but the other group had yet to arrive.

She couldn't help but be worried, even though they had survived tougher conditions it was still worrying when a someone was missing, let alone two. Many different things could have happened to them, they could've been attacked by monsters or even worse, a Titan.

She looked over at the boy who was still staring out at the forest. She sighed and started to pace in front of him, her mind running rampant at the thought of what could have caused them to be late.

Five Hours Later

Minutes turned into hours and there was still no sight of the demigods. The two teens sat on the ground with their back up against the wall. They were currently sipping on some coffee that they had gotten twenty minutes prior.

They both sat, their backs growing stiff after sitting for so long. Both teens were anxious to see their partners once again, and this caused unkown tension to grow between the two.

"We're going to have to go soon." The boy said, turning to look at his companion. "Even though I don't want to, the gods will make us. We succeeded in our part of the quest, that's all they will care about."

They had found the threat before they arrived. A small group of monsters that survived the war against Gaea were camped together in the forest. As soon as they had found them, they left for the meeting spot, only to be in the situation they were in now.

The girl shook her head, "I'm not going anywheres, Jason." She paused and took a shaky breath. "I lost him twice already and I'm not going to lose him again." Jason narrowed his eyes at her, lightning seeming to flash in them.

"This isn't all about Percy you know." He growled, "Piper is out there to and is in just as much danger as Percy is." The girl scoffed at the boy, who stood up in anger.

"Please." The girl started, venom seeping out of her voice, "Percy is the son of Poseidon, he has a much larger scent than a daughter of Aphrodite, which means he is a larger target for enemies."

Jason's hand went into his pocket and gripped the gold coin that was there. "Piper is your friend to, Annabeth."

That seemed to change something for Annabeth. She slumped over and sighed, burying her face in her hands. "I know," She said slowly. "I just want Percy to be safe, but I feel the same worry for Piper to." She took a deep, shaky breath before looking back up at the forest.

She threw the coffee cup to the side, the liquid spilling out onto the pathway. She reached into her bag and pulled out one gold drachma, the currency of the gods. As she was going to start the Iris message to talk to the gods, she stopped. Her hand shook as she squeezed the coin in her hand before dropping it.

They both watched as the coin disappeared and the Iris message started to form. Jason slid down next to Annabeth and wrapped his arm around her. She instinctively leaned in closer and rested her head on his shoulder. They both looked away and out at the forest, silently praying that their partners would appear.


There you go! First chapter!

Now, I have not forgotten my other story, The Son of Calypso.

This story will only be updated once for every three chapter for that story, since that one is my main priority.

Anyways… What happened to Percy and Piper? Why are they stuck out in the forest? How did they get there? You'll have to wait and find out.

Annabeth was a little possessive there don't you think?

Anyways, please leave a review, they always make my day.
