*Hey people! Thanks for your comments! Four in one day is pretty awesome, even though I wrote one of them.*
Chapter 2
"You don't even know where to look for her," my mom said.
"I have to try anyway. This is Annabeth we're talking about."
"Percy, whatever you do, don't be too hasty…"
"I'm not being hasty, mom!" She had a hurt look on her face. "Hey. I didn't mean it that way. I just want Annabeth back. I love her mom."
She sat and stared at me. "Oh Percy." She smiled. "Okay Percy. Do whatever you think that you need to do."
I hugged her. "Okay mom. By the way, don't worry. I will be sure to send you an Iris-Message as soon as I find out anything about her."
"Oh, don't worry about me. I'll be with Paul. I just want you to do what you think you need to do. Just remember; I'm proud of you no matter what."
"Thanks mom."
I finished packing my bags. I only packed the necessities: an extra pair of clothes, some extra money, my wristwatch/shield that my half-brother, Tyson, had given me four years ago, some nectar and ambrosia, and my lethal ball-point pen, Riptide. As I was about to leave, Paul pulled me aside.
"Hey Percy, I want to give you this." He handed me the keys to his Prius, one of his most prized possessions.
"Really? You really want me to take this?"
"Well, not permanently of course, but for your trip, yes."
"Oh my gosh. Thanks Paul."
"Oh, It's really no big deal. Just be careful."
"I will. Thanks Paul."
I packed my bags into the back seat of the car and said my good-byes. My mom had tears in her eyes. I realized that this was the first big trip that I had been on alone. Without Annabeth.
I got in the car and was on my way. As soon as I had driven about twelve blocks, I realized something.
In the chaos, I forgot to ask where Annabeth was.
I was such an idiot sometimes. I didn't want to drive all the way back (seriously, if you lived in New York City, you would understand), and I couldn't call my mom without a monster attacking me, so I just decided to keep driving and go on to camp. I figured that someone could help me there.
Little did I know, my life was about to get really interesting.
Hey people! Keep reviewing, and I'll keep writing!
