and here is the next chapter, enjoy!


"Percy" Annabeth shouted hammering on his door. Why wasn't he up yet? When Percy didn't reply Annabeth started to panic.

"Percy!" she shouted again, slightly hysterical. Still no answer.

"URH!" Annabeth exclaimed as she literally sent the door flying. She ran inside but Percy was no where to be seen. Annabeth stood there for a second, her mouth open. Did Percy really do it? She wondered. Did he really leave without me? She asked herself amazed. She raised her eyes brows and had a double check at Percy's room making sure he wasn't there when Annabeth's eyes laid upon his shield. Percy didn't go many places without his shield and Annabeth knew that he wouldn't risk going all the way to visit his mom without taking his shield with him, it's elementary really. But Annabeth's mind was clouded with thoughts of Percy; she would follow him and give him his shield.

She left his cabin quickly and bumped into the one person she didn't want to talk to…Grover. Grover was the one who brought Percy here and would of course known about his plan. ~
"Why didn't you tell me?" she asked him. He looked confused.
"What are you on about? Look, something's wrong. Where's Percy?"

"He's gone to visit his mom…." She replied hesitantly,

"No, no, no….." he whispered to himself desperately," he's somewhere dark…fell through a hole in the ground…" Grover continued looking at the ground.

"He's in the Labyrinth!" Annabeth exclaimed shocked. "But wait…how do you know?" He tapped his head knowingly with a very small smile,
"empathy link remember?" he replied. Annabeth nodded, already thinking of a plan.
"Let's go see the Oracle, we are going to rescue Percy!" she told Grover.
"Rescue Percy….what's going on?" It was Nico and he unfortunately heard what was going on. Annabeth looked at Nico and groaned.
"Well I guess it's the three of us then" she said. This did not help Nico's confusion. He opened his mouth to reply but Grover interrupted him.
"Percy is trapped in the labyrinth, were going to see the Oracle to get a quest." Grover exclaimed hurriedly. Grover, Nico and Annabeth had begun to walk in the direction of the Oracle- Rachel Dare. She would be getting breakfast with all the other campers. Nico nodded and said,
"count me in then!" he told them. Annabeth tutted and replied,
"I already did dumb ass", this only caused Nico to smile and turn his head to stop himself from blushing. Annabeth noticed and turned her head away trying to suppress a grin.

In no time at all, they arrived at the breakfast hall and saw Rachel eating her breakfast. When she saw the three of them she immediately stopped eating.
"What's wrong?" she asked,
"We need to ask you a question" Grover replied in a tone which made her realise what her meant.
"Oh…go ahead" Rachel replied mentally preparing herself.
"What is our quest" Annabeth asked nervously.

At once the green mist appeared and she began to speak…

"Three shall search for what lies within,

Three attempts they will need to rescue him,

At first they will think that they have succeeded

But it turns out they have not for a god's help will be needed."

All the campers were stunned; they had not been expecting a prophecy to be told whilst eating their breakfast.

"What did I say?" Rachel asked nervously and a camper related the prophecy back to her. She turned back to Annabeth, Grover and Nico to find them walking out the door. Chiron was looking over the lake when he heard the three of them arrive.
"We are going on a quest to find Percy sir" Nico blurted. Chiron turned, that statement had piqued his curiosity.

"What do you mean?" he replied testily.

"Percy's in the Labyrinth" Annabeth told him.

"We're going on a quest to save him" Grover told him.

"How did…? Never mind. Go and see the Oracle." He instructed them. Nico smiled.
"We already did sir. She said 'Three shall search for what lies within,

Three attempts they will need to rescue him,

At first they will think that they have succeeded

But it turns out they have not for a god's help will be needed'".

Chiron was silenced for a few seconds processing this new information whilst Annabeth, Nico and Grover waited for him to speak.
"Go save him then" he eventually replied…"But be careful" All three kids smiled at Chiron and left separately to grab their weapons ready for their first attempt at rescuing Percy.

All three kids met at the entrance to the forest; first they needed to find the entrance to the Labyrinth which is much easier said than done. They searched for hours yet could not find it.
"Do you remember anything more about how he fell through the ground? Does any of this look familiar?" Annabeth kept questioning him. Grover was beginning to become frustrated.
" He stomped his right foot on the ground and yes it all looks familiar! It's trees and forest! It all looks the same!" he exclaimed madly. Annabeth sighed; it was beginning to get dark.
"Maybe we should give up for now, give it another shot in the morning?" Annabeth stated. The two boys nodded. Nico slightly shivering from the cold agreed.
"Let's go…" Grover said sadly as he led the way back to camp. The first attempt had failed, he knew the second would two, and only on the third would they find him.

Percy's POV

I woke to find myself lying on my front, on a dark and cold slab of concrete. I raised my head to see where I was. Still underground, at the same place it looked like but…maybe it all just looked the same and I just couldn't tell the difference. I was freezing, I hugged my knees. I had only left in a short sleeved top and some trousers. The air suddenly grew colder. I rose to my feet and instinctively reached in my pocket for Riptide…surprisingly it was still there. Even though someone had knocked me out, but they didn't bother taking my weapon! I am very lucky for my father wouldn't believe me if I actually managed to loose it! It does reappear in my pocket you know! I clicked the pen and it transformed into my lovely sword, I stared into it and I caught a slight movement in the reflection. Yet again I spun round to see who it was …but you guessed it, I stayed conscious. It was Agamemnon. I groaned internally. He was the titan who sent that other poor kid crazy! I guessed my fate. But I wasn't going down without a fight. I thought about running but…from a titan? No way! I would not resort to such wimpy behaviour. I prepared myself and stood in battle stance. The Titan laughed sceptically and then I striked. I was no match for a titan I knew. I managed to hit him in the eyes with water once. But this only made him angrier which wasn't good seeing as he was a god knows how tall titan! I managed to defend my self for about 3 seconds before my walls went crumbling down and his hypnotic eyes drew me in…..
