Aj: I'm blowing off my homework so here's the next chapter!

Bianca, what did the prophecy say?

Bianca's P.O.V.

We had just planned to go to Vegas when Annabeth asked me about the prophecy. How could something on Earth possibly sound so evil? "Four shall go to rescue a friend, Only to a trap at the hands of a traitor,

Losing another at what looks like the end, and

The one who forgot will be forced to remember.

The truth was I made the last line up because the other two freaked me out. Annabeth seemed suspicious but didn't say anything…yet. "Let's go get Thalia and get going." Grover suggested. We agreed and I went to my cabin to see if Thalia was done packing. When I arrived Thalia was listening to Green Day at max volume. I really wish Artemis would take away that cd! I went up to her and turned the stereo off. "Hey! What was that for?" Thalia asked. "Skeleton warriors are going after Percy, we need to save him now!" I informed.

I'm not going to lie. When Annabeth told me her dream I was grinning madly on the inside. Percy was a great hero and now that he was alive, I didn't feel so guilty. I still felt guilty, just not as much. Thalia jumped off of her top bunk and followed me out the door with her green backpack in her hand. She slung it over her back and I grabbed my light blue one from my bunk. In it, was a picture of Percy that I took from Annabeth's millions. I knew that she blamed me for it. I blamed myself also. Now I was going to get him back though. Thalia and I went out the door to Artemis' cabin and found Grover and Annabeth easily. We were about to leave camp on the Pegasus. Annabeth hadn't let anyone ride Blackjack after Percy 'died' so I bet he was happy that he was being ridden again.

It must have been hard losing your best friend and not being able to say goodbye to him. I don't now what I would've done if I lost Nico or Nico lost me. It would definitely suck! Especially if it would've have happened if one of us got kidnapped. I was mad at Nico at first because he made Percy promise to protect me and it got him killed. I had just forgiven him two weeks ago and now I was leaving him again. I looked at the little figurine that I took from Hephaestus' junkyard. I now noticed the resemblance he had to Nico and I; he was our father after all. The figurine was Hades, figures.

I had boarded a Pegasus named Chrysler, Grover got one named Numb chuck, Thalia chose Death wind (She thought the name was cool.) Annabeth took Blackjack hoping that he would be able to bring memories back to Percy, if he was alive of course. Before we took off Nico ran up to me. "How come I can't go?" Nico asked wanting to help Percy. "It's too dangerous Nico, you're only ten." I answered. "Bianca, what if Kronos sent you and Annabeth those dreams to lure you guys into a trap. What if he's really….dead?" Nico asked not able to say the last word. (Remember that Nico is still the same annoying little kid because Bianca never died.) "What if it's real Nico? I maybe cost Percy his life, I have to see." I answered. He nodded understanding the importance of the matter. "Just promise me you'll be careful." Nico demanded. I nodded. "I will." With that we took off into the race to save Percy. I just hoped those skeleton warriors were slower than last time.

"Percy's" P.O.V.

Something felt wrong about The Lotus Hotel and Casino, definitely wrong. First of all, I kept seeing these visions of what I guess was me two years ago along with a blonde haired girl about the same age, and a boy with curly hair and a goatee. In the visions we were at The Lotus Hotel and Casino, but the weird thing was, everyone there looked exactly the same as they did now. I decided that I would leave and try to figure out my past. I walked out the door ten minutes after I had walked in and saw the barren desert landscape.

I checked my pockets to see if I had any money for a taxi or something, but all I had was this weird pen. I uncapped it and it grew into a three-foot long sword. I soon saw me as a twelve year old on some hill along with the other two that I saw earlier. A man was also there but he had a horse's body! "What am I thinking? Horse Dude cried. "I can't let you go away without this."

He pulled the same pen out of his coat pocket and handed it to me. "Gee," he said. "Thanks."

"Percy, that's a gift from your father. I've kept it for years not knowing who I was waiting for. But the prophecy is clear to me now. You are the one." So I guess my name was Percy.

He took off the cap and the pen grew longer and heavier in his hand. In half a second he held a shimmering bronze sword with a double-edged blade, a leather wrapped grip, and a flat hilt riveted with gold studs.

"The sword has a long and tragic history that we need not go into." He told me. "It's name is Anuklusmos."

"Riptide." He translated easily.

"Use it only for emergencies," The man said, "and only against monsters. No hero should harm mortals unless absolutely necessary, of course, but this sword wouldn't harm them in any case."

I then broke out of the vision and looked at the sword again in surprise. There had to be some way that I could get my memories back, there just had to be. "I can help you recover your memories Percy." A cold voice that sent a chill down my spine said. "How?" I asked suspiciously. "I know you, I know what happened to you. I know who caused you to lose your memories. I know how you can retrieve them." The voice answered. "Who are you?" I asked curiously. "I am Kronos." The voice answered.

"Are you sure you know how I can get my memories back?" I asked not knowing if I could trust them. "Of course I'm sure, after all, you used to work for me as my 2nd in command." The voice answered. 2nd in command? He had to be joking. I didn't answer and just kept walking to who knows where. The only true thing I was sure of was that I couldn't trust him. I just felt as if I hated this person. I don't know why though. Also, for some strange reason, I had this feeling that he wasn't even a person. I had a feeling that he was more powerful, much more powerful.
