A hot breeze was blowing and I was standing in the middle of the desert when I spotted twelve animals standing on a wet palm beach. All of them were extremely powerful and beautiful that I wanted to knelt down and weep. Behind them stood six men and six woman all dressed in full armors, tension was growing and the people was standing so still that they looked like statues." The twelve olympians", I thought. " whoever did this, return my property now and perhaps I will spare you!" A firm man's voice boomed. " Zeus." I thought. " Perhaps, brother. Should return my property." another god's voice said. " there will be war than." A firm woman's voice said. " There will be war."

I woke up with a start as I stared up my bedroom ceiling than I realized I was clenching tightly to my pillow and that go. There was a major conflict going on in Olympians, I know that. Something important seemed to be stolen, actually not thing but " things", and I have a really bad feeling that I was involved , worse: suspected crime.

"Percy, come on." there was a gentle knock on my door and my mom ringed. " It's time to get up, you'll be late for school. Paul made breakfast." " Coming." I groaned. Today is the first day of school, and I am going to Goode Highschool despite of the fact that I Have accidently blew up their drum room , Paul- my stepdad had comvinced them to take me. I lamely got dressed but I couldn't shook my mind of the the dream I just had. The Gods are having a war, at least they are going to have one. Sooner or later. I picked up my backpack and slid Riptide into my pocket than trotted slowly down the stairs.

Mom and Paul was both sitting near the dinning table. " Morning," I grumbled and sat down. " DO you like my bake strawberry soup?" Paul asked as soon as I sat down and offered me something that had white soup with a few red dot on it . " Sure, Paul." I said. Normally, I would have protested but today my heart just wasn't in it. I was about to take a slip of the soup when something pounded against the door, my mom stood up to answer. THe door was pounded again and again. Just when Mom was reaching the door knob, when we heard a fresh " CRASH". The window near the dinning room was pounded open and six large figures hoped in. Kangaroos, I thought. Green Kangaroos. The Kangaroos ran to Paul and punched him in the stomach. Paul crumbled down on the floor. " PAUL!" my mom shouted as she rushed toward him but was swapted away by a large Kangaroo. " Perseus JAckson." A cold voice swept. " I have been awaiting you for a long long time."

I shivered and did something that is very unherolike, I screamed. " Aw, I see a little coward." the voice sounded amuse. " they don't really make heros like they used to, do they?" " let Paul go." I said, trying my best to swallow my fear. " Who are you?" " Who am I?" the voice said. " Who are you?" That's when an arrow came shooting at m direction. I jumped and drew Riptide and backed up. " Well, well well. I admit that you are fast, but maybe not as fast as I am." The voice said and that's when it appeared. After what it had did to me, I expected to see a mighty monster roaring at me but what I saw took me off guard. Standing in front of me was my friend Annabeth, her hair in a perfect pony tail standing with an arm of kangeroos.

" Annabeth!" I shouted, my blood seemed to froze. She smiled, and her eyes twinkled that's when I noticed that she have blue eyes, since when did she have blue eyes?"

" Hello, Percy." she said as she walked towards me. " How's my honey cake doing?" honey cake? She must have meant a dog or something but she was looking straight at me. " who?" I managed to say. " You, honey cake. My love." Annabeth said, and stared right into my eyes. Her new blue eyes are icy and sharp. I tried to search for the familiarness in them but found none. What the heck?

" You like blue don't you?" she asked and stepped close to me so that we are only one step apart. " I did this all for you." Her hair smelled like lemonade and she seemed to glow faintly. But there's something about her, something about her that seemed to remind me of something, or someone unkind.

I held riptide in front of me and she stepped back in surprise, " What was that?" she demanded, her voice now was brightened up with fear, the old and real Annabeth would never do that, scared of a blade which meant she can only be one thing- a monster.

Without thinking, I charged. " Very well, if you don't want love godling." the ex-Annabeth growled as she leaped to dodge my blade. " I will give you what you want!" than she started to change, her body melted into a shimmer of golden light and when the light died down a woman was standing right in front of me. She had flaming red hair and icy blue eyes and she smelled like roses. Everything else faded away and all I can see is her flaming red hair floating gently down her shoulders. She smiled at me and I felt dizzy.

" things don't have to be complicated, Percy." she said softly. " drop your sword." I did as I was told. " You're life had been totally unfair percy, but you can change that." " how?" I asked dreamily. She beamed, " It's simple, you see we just need to..... aw!" She exploded into dust.

I starred in awe at the monster dust and a roar of anger exploded in my chest, I was so mad that I didn't even remembered what had happened. But when I regained my ability to think, the whole room looked as if it was swept by a tornado and mom and Paul was not in sight. " Mom! PAUL!" I shouted as loud as I could. No reply. " Mom! Paul!" " Percy, over here." I heard my mom's voice and I ran to her. She was lying very still as if she was dead except for the fact that her eyes were opened and she was talking. " Mom, are you okay?" I asked her than shut my mouth, of course she's not okay. " Percy, find Paul." she said weakly and tried to stand up. " Wait here." I said quickly and turned to search.

The whole dinning room was broken up and I searched. Paul wasn't anywhere to be seen and every once in a while, I'll have to answer my mom's impatient calls of asking me weither or not have I found Paul and I'll have to fake my voice so my mom couldn't hear how broken up I was. Finally, I collapsed down with my back near the wall and felt more hopeless than ever. Think, I told myself. Paul couldn't just be gone, unless he's kidnapped.....kidnapped. THe kangeroos! Oh man, I was so driven mad by the ex- annabeth that I didn't even noticed the kangeroos area gone! What am I suppose to tell mom? Her love was now taken away from her, again and it's all my fault.

" Percy! Found Paul yet?" Mom shouted from the other side of the , I grabbed a chair and threw it at the window, it broke with a clang. " PERCY!" my mom shouted. I threw the TV to the wall and it broke with a large BANG. " PERCY, WHAT IS HAPPENING?" Mom shouted again and I forced myself to not break something else before seeing her again.

" Percy, you found Paul?" she asked as soon as she sawed me, but I think my expression gave the truth away. Her eyes filled with tears than she let out a horrible scream and covered her face with both of her hands. I stoof and watched her cried, not knowing what to do. Her crying slowly turned into sobs and she quiet down. " Mom, I'm sorry." I said finally. She shook her head, " Percy, that was a monster. A love sick monster, it's doing it's affect on you. Don't blame yourself." That just made me felt even worse. " You saved me." I said stupidly. She gave me a forced smile but since she was so upset the smile looked more like a deep frown. " I only did it by throwing a vase percy, that's the only thing I can do."

I stared at her crumbled face , I've put her and Paul in danger. They both knew it, but they still welcomed me with opened arms. I had made my mom suffered again, first she had to put up with this awful guy name Gabe now she loss her true love. I couldn't do this to her, at least not again not after what I've done.

" Mom, I'm sorry." I said again than swung opened the door and ran out all the way into the streets of Manhattan.
