(Annabeth pov)

How could I have been so stupid? I thought he was right behind me! But when I got to the other side of half blood hill and looked back...he wasn't there. I raced back up the hill and all I could see was a black van speeding away. I couldn't believe it. After all we've been through you get captured by dog people and a scientist. I ran as fast as I could to the big house. It's light blue paint peeling off in the breeze. Mr.D was sitting at the table playing cards with some saytrs. None of which I recognized.

"Whare's Chiron?" I asked Mr.D bitterly. I never really had been nice to him since he hated pretty much everything on the planet. I mean honestly Mr. D is a jerk to everyone. I wish Zeus would realize he isn't only making Dyonisis unhappy, because he's actually making EVERYONE unhappy. I wish he would recall Dyonisis's punishment.

"Watch your tone unless you want to be a madwoman flailing around because you think spiders are crawling around inside you killing you by the second...watching your loved one diets the same fate...Oh and I think the old centaur is inside with a camper or something. I'd tell you not to bother him but I really don't care." said Mr.D barley even looking up from his game. I really hate him.

I dashed inside to see Chiron in his wheelchair talking to Thalia. The huntresses had been here for about a month now. Artemis had been called to Olympus for the summer solstice and was helping her father with the preparations. Chiron looked up noticing the door open

"Hello Annabeth." He said with a smile. Then realizing the panicked look on my face he corrected "Is something wrong? What happened? I thought you were with Percy." I almost broke down right there. I had lost him once about a year ago and he was missing for eight months. I couldn't let that happen agian. I explained everything that went on. Chiron was a good listener. His old brown eyes intent on my every word his eyebrows inching up by the second as if he couldn't believe it. Thalia stood by mortified. She looked stiff and sad...very very sad. When I has finished my tale Thalia came over and hugged me. Today must be a dream, it must be there is no way Thalia ever hugs anyone. She hates hugs. I fealt hot salty tears leave their streaks under my eyes traveling down my face. At first it was one or two then they spilled out overflowing my sight, making it blurry so I could only see splotches of color dancing across my vision. I couldn't believe this had happened. I should have ran after the van. I could've saved him...right? Or I could've been captured too. Then the situation might be worse. No I had done all I could.

"Annabeth we'll find Percy. Hera can't be hiding him this time. Mortals can't hide him as Hera could it will be easier to find him than before." said Chiron trying to make me feel better.

"Yeah and I'll have some of the huntresses look, Reyna can send a group of Romans to scout, some campers here can go out and look, Nico can ask some gosts or something, and you can look with Hazel, Frank, Leo, Piper, and Jason. Don't worry I know we'll find him sooner than you think." said Thalia. I knew she was only trying too cheer me up. I knew she really didn't think that. I just wanted to know whare he was. I wanted my seaweed brain.
