Chapter 1
Annabeth flinched as the thunder boomed outside, yet it was not the thunder that made her blood run cold. It was the silhouette that was illuminated in the lightning...
Annabeth blinked, it couldn't be him, could it. The silhouette was gone but Annbeth still felt chills down her spine, it definitely wasn't him.
He wouldn't be here even if he could come back. The memories of him brought tears to those eyes that everyone knew so well, and Annabeth bit back a sob.
Because she would never see her Seaweed Brain again. Percy Jackson was long gone.
Rain pelted Annabeth's face as she hurried across towards the Big House, anxious to tell Chiron what she had seen, but suddnely slammed into a hard force as solid as rock.
And hand was extended from a hooded figure, which she took and was pulled sharply to her feet and was about to thank her savior but he, (she assumed it was a he due to the immensely firm grip he had had when he pulled her up) had already turned and was walking towards the Big House.
Annabeth hurried after the hooded man, as he walked with an amazingly quick pace. A large crowd of campers had come to see the newcomer, as word of him had spread through the camp like wildfire. Undoubtedly due to some gossiping nymph.
The stranger greeted Chiron at the house and whispers spread through the crowd. Did Chiron know this man? Apparently not.
He stepped out and addressed the camp. " I go by the name of Sigma, I am second in command to the Chaos army, but I believe…that you know me by another name."
The man stepped forward into the firelight as he pulled off his hood. Annabeth gasped as her own eyes met those of the boy she had been desperately searching for these past months.
He grinned at Annabeth, " Missed me?" said Percy Jackson.
