Percy's POV

I had to get away. There was no way I would go back into that place. I ran into my cabin and sat down on my bed. I put my head in my hands. Why did they want me to go back into the Labyrinth? Why couldn't they just say Hey, Daedalus is gone, so the Labyrinth is gone. What's for dinner? But no, they have figure out what is going on.

They probably think you're crazy I told myself. I mean why would you want to go back in there. Its not like it is a perfect place to clear your mind, in fact it ruins your mind. My mind...

I mean if you've been having the dreams that I have been having, I'm pretty sure you'd go running from the room as well. I started thinking about my dreams. Flashbacks of me getting lost and going so crazy I jump into the pit Annabeth and I had to go across. Or being ambushed by Kronos's army, and there I am getting shot by a whole bunch of arrows...

A knock on my door pulled me out of my thoughts.

"Percy?" I looked up and saw Annabeth looking at me worriedly.

"Yeah I know, I'm pathetic and a wimp..." I couldn't stand to keep eye contact with her.

"Percy, you're not pathetic, much less a wimp. Percy look at me." I didn't want to look at her. Why couldn't she just go away.

"Percy, please look at me... Please..." I looked up at her. She had a sympathetic look on her face.

"Percy, you are not pathetic, don't you ever let yourself think that. Remember our first quest? You hadn't even been at camp very long, and you still decided to go to the Underworld. That is not pathetic. Do you understand?"

"Sure," I muttered. She looked like she was going to press me further for a definite yes, but then she asked.

"Percy, what happened back there?" I was waiting for her to ask that.

"You know..."

"Your dreams?" she asked.

"Yeah." This was not a subject I wanted to discuss, and Annabeth obviously noticed..

"I won't ask," she said "but please Percy, we really need you on this quest. Would you consider going?" I didn't answer. I needed time to think.

"I'll come back later, but promise me you'll have an answer." She put her hand out for me to shake it.

"I promise," I said while I shook her hand.

Annabeth's POV

I left Percy hoping he would be okay. I knew he was scared, it was written all over his face. I really hope he agrees to come with us I told myself. If he did decide to go with, I would protect him even more than I usually do, we all would.

Chiron wanted me to come back after I went to talk to Percy. He had suggested the idea of talking to Percy, but I was already planning on doing that after he ran out. I got back to the Big House, everyone was still there. Nico was having a heated conversation with Thalia, about what, I don't know. And Chiron was still sitting at the table, clearly deep in thought. Then he noticed me.

"How did it go?" he asked.

"Okay I guess. The first thing he told me was that he was pathetic and a wimp. But then I told him not to think that way."

"Did he give you an answer?" Thalia asked. She obviously had finished her argument with Nico.

"I told him that I would come back later, and that he could give me his decision then."

"But we need an answer-"

"No Thalia, we don't need an answer now. When Percy's ready to give us his answer, then-." Chiron was cut off, because at that moment Percy walked through the doors of the Big House. He said something really quiet, that I'm pretty sure nobody knew what he said.

"I'm sorry Percy, what did you say?" asked Chiron.

"I said that I'll go," Percy said louder this time.

"Are you sure, Percy?" I asked.

"Yeah," he said this quieter, so I knew that he wasn't completely positive he wanted to go, but I wasn't going to say anything.

"Thank you Percy," Chiron said, "we greatly appreciate you agreeing to go on this quest." Percy just nodded his head."Now that this quest is official, we need someone to go speak to the Oracle. Who would like to do this?"

"I'll do it!" said Thalia excitedly. "It's so fun, all that green mist, the creepy voice. Who wouldn't want to do it?" That's Thalia for you, always finding the weirdest and most dangerous things fun.

"I'll do it," said Percy. We all looked at him.

"Percy, you don't-"

"No, Annabeth, I said I'll do it." I was a little worried for Percy. First he didn't even want to go on the quest, now he wanted to do one of the most important things about the quest.

"Okay, Everyone would you all care to leave, I need talk to Percy privately," said Chiron. I didn't want to leave, but I knew that if Chiron wanted to talk to Percy, it must be important.
