[A\N] hey people! I am currently trying to finish this chapter after doing a crap load of homework. I mean geez its so hard to juggle sports and tution and schoolwork these days. Anyways, I wanted to say that i'm gonna do a new story on Minecraft, which will be called Tales of Kingdoms, based on my favourite youtuber, Paul. That's not really related to this so...

...Taken Chapter 2...

Percy was in despair. He had gone to sleep, thinking that tomorrow would be perfect, instead this pleasant dream had turned into a real nightmare. Annabeth gone! Percy knew Luke was the culprit and his blood boiled at the thought of him. He swore that he would get Annabeth back, safely, no matter what.

"Percy!" yelled a worried voice, jerking him from his rage. "Where has Annabeth gone? She...she was here the night before! I didn't hear anyone come into the room!" Malcom cried, upon seeing Annabeth's empty bed. Percy ignored him and noticed something on the floor. He bent down to pick it up, realising that it was Annabeth's favourite Yankee's cap, the one that made the wearer invisible...but it was torn to shreds and useless now.

"Luke..." Percy muttered, gritting his teeth and clenching his fist so hard then when he released it there were deep fingernail cuts. "Luke?" Malcom asked. "He was the cause of this mess?" he shouted, getting angry as well. By the time we had spent trying to vent our growing anger, the other camp members had crowded around, mumuring among each other.

Suddenly, Chiron galloped into the scene. His white stallion body was skittering around like he was jumpy, and his brows were furrowed deeply. "Everyone take a step back!" he ordered. "Even you, Percy." Percy hesitated, but obeyed after a few moments. "We must not panick. No one must jump to the conclusion of somebody breaking into the camp and kidnapping a member without evidence." Percy spoke. "I know she was taken. And I know who did it." The campers gasped and chattered as he told Chiron about him dream.

Chiron's face darkened even more, and he paused before continuing. " This is not good," he muttered, tail flicking nervously. "All campers except Percy please leave. We need to talk, privately," he added to the said demigod. After everyone had left the room, Chiron turned to him and said, "Percy, I know you're extremely concerned about Annabeth, but we ahve to take it slow, firstly, we would talk to Rachel. She might have a phrophesy to give." Percy's insides had twisted into knots. Annabeth, he thought feverently, please don't die.

They entered the dark cave, littered with bones and skulls on the floor, creating an eerie atmosphere. Poping out of her hideout was a girl with a mop of frizzy red hair and freckles on her face, which was currently written with worry. "Percy! I heard about Annabeth! She'll be okay, we'll find a way to rescue her right Chiron?" The centuar didn't say anything, which wasn't very comforting. Rachel frowned at his negative response, and turned back to Percy. "I'm guessing you'll need a quest right?" Percy nodded glumly, then steeled his courage to find out what was in store for him.

Green smoke suddenly spilled out of Rachel's mouth and snaked around her. She began to shudder, and chant in a raspy and old voice that was largely unlike the way she normally spoke.

The son of the sea will venture into the Underworld's gloom,

Guided by the Dark Lord's son,

Aided by the strength and courage of the follower of the moon,

Will face terror's of the Dark One,

Joined my three others, one along the way,

Another would save and the last will betray.

As soon as Rachel uttered the last word, she collapsed into Chiron's sturdy arms, green mist fading away. Percy thought hard, repeting the phophesy over and over again in his head, and spoke in a low voice. "The first line is pretty obvious, I'll have to travel into the Underworld where Annabeth is found." His stimach twisted at the thought of that dark and dank place. Many bad memories were associated with it, and he was so happy that he'll have to go down there once more.

Chiron frowned, lost in thought. "Guided by the Dark Lord's son, I presume the Dark Lord is Hades, and his son is-" "Me." came a familiar deep voice. The Son of Hades stepped into the cave, making percy jump. He was as pale as ever, scraggly hair that had grown long over the past year messy and wild, with his aviator jacket and gleaming stygian sword at his side.

"Nico! Where did you come from?" Percy cried in dis belief. He hadn't seen him in a long while, becuase he was constantly travelling in the Under and Over worlds trying to contact his lost sister, Biancia. Nico sighed. "From the Underworld. She's gone now. Choose to be reborn. I'll never get to see her again." He looked so sad that Percy felt sorry for him, even though Nico hadn't exactly been nice to him as he blamed him for his sister's death. "Nico, I'm really so-" Percy began, only to be cut ofd. "I know. She already explained to me that it wasn't your fault, told me I had to help you again. She gave you and me the same vision didn't she?"

"The nightmare I had before Annabeth was taken? That was from Biancia?" Percy asked, astonished. "Yep," sighed Nico once more. "Let's get moving. I know where Annabeth's held, and it isn't a very nice place," he cringed. "Wait," Chiron interrupted. "The rest of the phrophesy. It says you'll be aided by 'the follower of the moon." Just then, a sharp howl cut through the air. A wolf's howl. "That's me."

Thaila grinned, stepping into the cave much like Nico had done. By this time, Percy's brain was about to explode. "Where the hell are all you people coming from?" he demanded. "I got the same message as the two of you, and Artemis has already given me the sitrep on my mission. So give me some baddies, and I'm ready to rock and roll!" Thalia annouced proudly. Then she noticed everyone starig at her like she'd gone mad. "Oops sorry," she smiled sheepishly. "Probably played to much call of duty games. Do you know Black ops II finally came out?" she said before realising she had wandered off the point. "Sorry, anyways, what I was trying to say was I already know what to do." she explained, slinging her silver bow across her shoulders like it was some sort of machine gun.

"What about the three others?" wondered Nico. Chiron spoke. "They would join you on your journey, I know. It is time to begin. Best of luck to all of you, and I hope you aall come back alive."

With that the mission started.

The mission to save Annabeth and possibly dying a terrible death in the proccess

[A/N] Alrighty guys thats the end of Chapter 2. I know some of you would be thinking what the hell happened to Thalia, but I just played Black OpsII with my cousin before I wrote that paragraph, and what she said was for my own entertainment. Hope you all enjoyed it, and see you next time in...Taken.
