The camp had been searching for hours. Tyson and Mrs. O'Leary showed up to help as well. Annabeth Iris messaged Thalia and told her of Percy's disappearance.
"That's not good. I'm gonna tell Artemis. We'll probably start looking for Percy." Thalia smiled, but she hoped to gods Annabeth couldn't see how worried she really was.
"Thanks Thals. It's great to see you again, how's recruiting going?"
"Oh same old same old. Nobody's fallen for any boys yet, but there just haven't been that many girls who want to join. Guess the times have changed…" Thalia shrugged.
"Oh, Annabeth? Don't worry, We're going to find your kelp-brained boyfriend. You two will be back together in no time."
Annabeth smiled, but her grey eyes were filled with doubt as she swiped her hand through the iris message.
Eventually, all the campers who had been looking for Percy had either left complaining of exhaustion or not complaining due to the lack of voice. Annabeth stayed in the woods. She and Mrs. O'leary carefully picked their way over gnarled roots and monster traps, but losing faith with each step. Chiron appeared by a dying oak tree.
"Annabeth, you need to go back to your cabin. It's after lights-out."
"Not until I find Percy." She grunted at him as she walked by.
"That wasn't a request. I have a feeling that Percy isn't any where on the camp grounds."
"Then let's get a quest started! He saved the planet so many times, and this is how we repay him when he goes missing!? This was supposed to be our time off! It's not fair!" Annabeth's voice was hysterical, her eyes were brimming with tears.
Chiron stared at Annabeth.
"You need to rest." And with that, Chiron picked up a rage filled annabeth and galloped to the Hypnos cabin.
Anna beth was gently plopped onto the dewy grass. She heard Chiron get a camper out and heard him telling the camper to put annabeth into a deep sleep. Annabeth stood up, realizing what was happening.
"no."
The camper looked at Annabeth apologetically. "Sorry Annabeth. But you need to sleep." He placed two fingers on Annabeth's forehead and she crumpled to the ground.
Part of her wanted to stay asleep until Percy came back.
