OLD JUDGEMENT

Chapter 2

The trip on the subway

My dream started when I was standing on a hill looking out to a beautiful ocean and a forest layered with mist wrapping the small hill as I was admiring the scenery trying to figure out where I am. (Because I don't even know what ocean I was looking at). "Ahhhhhhhhh" a man was running at me with full force away from what seemed like a tentacle. The tentacle finally caught up tripping him and pulling him back into the strangely mysterious forest "ahhhhhh –"

I sat bolt right up in the bed almost waking up Annabeth. Two campers were walking by the cabin window when I realized it was morning "(ting-ting-ting)" Grover was at the door I quickly ran to the door slipping on my pants in the process "hey Percy have you seen Anna–" he said looking to my bed "oh my gods Percy –" he said as I yanked him into the cabin "you have to be quiet, and no we didn't, she just wanted to sleep in here with me"

"Oh thank the gods" he said with relief in his voice "you guys didn't show up for diner last night I got a little worried so I came to check on you and now here I am"

"Ow" I complained "these underwear aren't really comfortable" I stretched out my pant and looked inside expecting to see my underwear but I wasn't wearing any. I quickly ran over to the bed "Annabeth"

"Oh good morning guys…wait its morning we completely missed dinner!" she started looking really worried, and tried to get out of bed but I forced to stay down "Annabeth" I shouted and she stopped struggling "are you wearing any clothes" she looked underneath the covers with a suspiciously scared face "Percy how could you" she ran into the bathroom with the blanket wrapped around her and started to cry "um I just gonna leave you to" Grover said as he ran out of the cabin. "Annabeth can you come out here so we can talk"

"NO" she bellowed "I didn't do that I promise I woke up and thought I was still wearing underwear but when I put my jeans on I wasn't.

"Really" she said still crying "yes, I would never do that to you" she slowly opened the door "well then where are they" she said wiping a tear from her cheek.

"I have no idea" she looked at me wondering if she could still trust me "you can get me some new ones" I looked at her to see if she was serious.

Yep she was serious. I just got the fact that it's not easy arguing with Annabeth she will always win I guess that's what I get for dating a daughter of Athena.

As I was walking out of the Athena cabin with a bag of Annabeth's clothes I saw Chiron lecturing Travis and Connor Stoll. I'm sure it was one of there pranks. I had to jump behind the fire pit which was normally on but for some reason only a small flicker of ambers were sizzling I had to lay behind the fire pit for eight minutes before he finally went to the big house to play cards with our camp director Mr. D.

I rushed into the cabin but Annabeth wasn't sitting on the bed like she was earlier I looked back at the bathroom the shower was running and the lights were on so I went into the bathroom and placed her clothes on the sink ledge when I was about to walk out Annabeth called "Percy is that you" as she cut off the water "yeah, its me"

"Can you hand me a towel"

"Um… sure, wait I can dry you off" I slowly walked over to the shower "give me your hand"

"Um…okay whatever" she gave me her hand with a ("splash") she was dry

"Wow I didn't know you could dry other person that's amazing"

"I know I know" I said with a very selfishly proud smile "yeah shut up and get out"

Today is the last day of camp for the regulars I had to go back home with Annabeth I was so excited to have Annabeth stay with us and on top of that she was sleeping in my room with me

I spent most of my morning cleaning and packing so that when the cleaning harpies come to check for final inspection they won't eat all my stuff like the Minotaur horn I got first year. After I was done packing I was on my way to the camp van but I saw that the stand was open so I decided to stop and get some flowers for Annabeth unfortunately it came with a pink vase I am assuming was because of Aphrodite because as soon I touched the vase I felt all warm and fuzzy inside.

"Hey hurry up seaweed brain" Annabeth was standing on top of the hill waving down at me waiting next to Argus and Grover.

"Hey, I'm ready where's Chiron"

"The party ponies sent out a distress call he went to help" Argus said

"oh man I wanted to say goodbye to him that sucks" Annabeth said as she quivered her bottom lip "not to fear Grover's still here" we all laughed and gave our luggage to Argus who just threw them in the back of the camp van

We talked for about 5 minutes "don't worry I will get him back safely" Annabeth said snickering wildly" "yeah, yeah whatever" I said as me and Annabeth walk to the van "I'll miss you Grover" she shouted "me too" I said as we waved good bye

It didn't take to long to get to Manhattan, but Argus dropped us off at the lower east side subway entrance so in case we didn't want to walk we had another choice other than a cab

"So what, do you want to do walk, cab, or subway" Annabeth pondered the choices for a moment "lets take the subway" as she picked up her suit case and duffel bag and started walking down the steps into the subway station she seemed disturbed about something I couldn't quite put my finger on it but I knew something was off. I followed her down into the subway and as I walked towards the ticket kiosk and Annabeth. I heard a low throaty growl that shivers down my spine I turned no one was there except a homeless man looking into an old coffee cup I proceeded to the stand where Annabeth had already bought a ticket and was waiting for me. "Hurry up seaweed brain!"

We were waiting for the subway, Annabeth was taking a strange liking to ticket kiosk she liked a lot of architectural building not normally kiosk but apparently they hired the right guy or girl to build it. I started thinking about what it would be like with annabeth staying in my room in my bed! Suddenly a tall man wearing a pure black trench coat and a black & white rimmed fedora. Now I like the hat but this guy I freaking me out I was so focused on his hat that I didn't notice he was walking strait towards me and Annabeth I stood up defensively and pulled my pen out of my pocket putting my left hand o the cap ready to release riptide

The man flinched and continued to walk now if that's not I'M A MONSTER TRYING TO EAT YOU sign I don't know what is. "Calm down Perseus Jackson, I'm just here to say congrats" he said pointing to annabeth who hadn't even realized I had got up from the bench she just mindlessly stared at the kiosk "wait, what who are y–"and it just struck me who he was. Dr. Thorn, as the sub way approached a flash from the lights woke Annabeth from her trance as she looked in Dr. Thorn's direction he vanished just like he did when annabeth disappeared but she was still here I put my pen back into my pocket letting my tense shoulders relax Annabeth came over and touched my back "are you ready" she said with a sweet innocent tone "yeah, hey did you see anything"

"What are you talking about" she said with a confused look on her face "never mind, let's just go" we started walking into the first subway car

We waited for about 5 minutes before we felt the jolt of the acceleration from the engine and starting to move down the tunnel me and Annabeth were talking about how she bets my room wouldn't be clean I knew it wasn't but I opposed her anyway, after a while of arguing I started getting sleepy Annabeth had already passed out I looked around and realized everyone that was in the car had fallen asleep except for one person who was standing walking in our direction this was way to creepy I tried to stand but in the process I found myself falling to the ground as I looked up towards the person the last thing I saw was a hand reaching to cover my face.
