After leaving the Big House, I went to my bunk, put on my Yankees cap and went to Cabin three. I sat there on Kelp Face's bunk. Next to Percy's bunk was Tyson's. 'Holy Athena' I thought. Mourning about Kelp Face's disappearance, I forgot about Grover and Tyson. I had to find them too. Percy, return already. I'll die missing you. We have to look for Tyson and Grover too. /span/p

A beautiful, caramel- haired girl, dressed in a Greek gown was taking care of Percy. His clothes were tattered, but he didn't look seriously hurt. I wanted to scream and run to Percy and take his care, but this girl simply won't leave his side and even if she did, I couldn't do anything as that was my dream. The dream faded and I woke up. My mind started thinking. Probably that was Ogygia. Calypso's island. NO! it couldn't be. What if he does not return from there? No Annabeth think positive. He will come back. /span/p

I wasn't even in my bunk. How is- Uh, I came to Percy's bunk for the night. The night was clear and it appeared to be around midnight. I left Cabin 3 and crash landed on my bunk and cried almost the entire night. /span/p
