I don't own any of the Percy Jackson characters, but I do own Paulien, daughter of Aphrodite (: It's based on my little sis', she's a real beauty ;o

Annabeth POV

I wasn't really suprised when I saw that everyone went on with their normal camp activities. We lost a lot of campers these days. Some died, some followed Luke and some where just lost. Plus we had to be prepared if Luke invaded camp.

The only one he didn't seem to care at all that Percy was gone, was Clarisse. Big shocker.

Instead of training, I just hung around the beach all day thinking about everything.

The hours flew by and before I knew it, it was night. When I went back to the Athena cabin, my bunker was totally cleaned up and there was a plate filled with food on my bed. Malcolm must've done it. I need to thank him when I see him, I thought to myself.

When I'd finished my dinner, I cleaned the plate and laid in front of my cabin. The harpies probably take it.

I had a dreamless night and slept well. So I did some sword fighting, archery, ... But archery didn't go so well. I wasn't very focussed, hit a tree and because of that I had a mad dryad yelling at me all day.

That evening while I was in the woods ( "playing capture the flag" ) I had talk with Juniper. I mean like, I was talking, she was crying. I reassured her Grover was just fine, but even I didn't believe that lie. After comforting her for an hour, capture the flag was over and I went to the campfire. I didn't sing-along, but it was nice to have some friends around me.

When I got tired and went to my cabin, I found Malcolm reading on his desk.

'Hi', he said. Feeling any better?'

'Yeah, just a bit... Thanks for the food yesterday. And for cleaning –'

He didn't let me finish; 'it's alright, you're welcome' he smiled, 'but actually , you have to thank Paulien, she gave me the idea.'

'The new girl in the Aphrodite cabin?' I asked.

'Yep...' He said a little dreamy.

I fell asleep quickly after Malcolm said his 'Sleep tight' and I was back on that island of two night ago. Percy looked a little bit better. He was not lying in a hammock anymore, but in an actual bed in a cave. He was moving in his sleep like crazy, mumbling words. I couldn't hear them so well, but I saw what he was mumbling right know.

He mouthed 'Annabeth'.

If could smile in my dream, I would.

I couldn't enjoy the moment very long, because suddenly I was in the Labyrinth again. I ran through the Labyrinth for hours, without having a clue of were I was.

I was scared to death. And really happy when my nightmare ended.

My dream about the Labyrinth made me think. It was hopeless, but I checked all the blueprints I had about the Labyrinth. If my blueprints were right he was now somewhere in Europe. But there they don't have island like the on in my dreams, right?

Later in the afternoon I went to the sword fighting arena and had some practise with Clarisse, she won. Five times is a row. I decided I needed more practise so I asked Clarisse to meet me here tomorrow after breakfast. I wasn't really used to the fact that I was friends with her...

At diner that night, I did something crazy: I prayed to my mom to help me with finding Percy, even I knew she wouldn't. She doesn't like Percy so much. But I had to try.

I know it's really short, but I'm already working on the next chapter ^^
