Chapter Two

"Percy." Someone whispered into my ear. "Wake up"

I opened my eyes slowly to see Annabeth's face right above mine. Her hair was resting on my chest. I hadn't been woken up by anyone sense I went to go see my mother during the summer. It was kind of nice. Then it hit me.

"Annabeth how did you get in here you know we're not supposed to be in each other's cabins!

"I know, I know Percy. But I felt like I had to see you, I missed you." She said smiling her gorgeous smile at me. "Is that ok?"

"Of course that's fine Annabeth." I laughed. "I just thought you could wait till I had gotten myself ready for the day." I felt a little embarrassed I'm sure my hair was a mess and I haven't even gotten to brush my teeth yet.

"Well…I can leave if you want?" she said timidly.

I stared at her for a couple of seconds feeling bad. "No, its fine. Let me through some clothes on and we can talk ok?"

She smiled crookedly knowing that she got what she had wanted. "Good. Try to hurry up. Nico and thalia are back."

I ran into the bathroom, on the way grabbing my camp shirt and some jeans. I hastily cleaned myself up. When I walked out Annabeth was sleeping in a chair Tyson had made me. It was big enough for two and it looked decent. He made it out of left over bronze and threw some shells into it to make it match the cabin.

I shook Annabeth's shoulder gently. "I'm ready. Do you have everything you need?"

She looked pretty dazed but then she realized what I was saying. She put her hair in a pony tail. "Yeah I'm excited to see Thalia and Nico."

"Well than let's get going" I said as I open the door for her to walk out. "I don't want to keep them waiting they can both tend to get impatient."

As Annabeth and I approached the Big House we were able to see a handful of people most of them Artemis and her hunters. I hadn't realized it wasn't just Thalia. We reached the patio and that's when Thalia came into sight.

Thalia came running at us. "Annabeth, Percy! I missed you guys so much. We've all been working extremely hard…and we have some interesting news."

As curious as I was, I was just happy to see Thalia again. "Where's Nico?" I asked.

"Oh...Um I think he's in the Big House with Dionysius, they asked not to be bothered." Thalia stated. "But I do have a special person for you to meet. She's really unique Percy. Her name is Amari."

I raised my eyebrows. "Hmm sounds like fun where is she?"

Dionysius just called her into the big house can I walk with you? I kind of want to talk to Percy alone Annabeth."

Annabeth shrugged her shoulders and walked off to talk to some of the hunters. I figured she'd go off and describe battle techniques and stagey she wouldn't need me anytime soon.

"So what's up Thalia?" I asked.

Thalia looked a bit uncomfortable. "I'm not all that sure Percy. This demi-god we found is different. We don't know who her parent is. She has abilities that we've never seen before."

We stopped walking for a couple minutes and decided to sit down. "Like what? I mean I'm sure it's nothing to be afraid of."

"I'm not afraid" she said. "But I'm curious, I mean about Rachael's prophecy. What if she's one of the demi-gods from her prophecy? We just got done fighting we don't need another war."

"I know" I said. "But I'm ready for whatever is necessary."

Thalia nodded and explained that I should go meet her. I summed her up on everything that had happened sense she left…well almost everything except for what had been going on between Annabeth and I. she'd have to figure that out on her own. We met up with Annabeth and braced ourselves for what was inside the Big House.
