Hi guys! Thank you Mrya Irya (I Think) for being my only reviewer. I dedicate this chapter to her/he.
Jessica POV
The field definitely didn't look like much. there was an old house covered in chipped blue paint to the right. A pile of purple cables were wrapped around a giant pine tree. Above it, a yellow grocery bag fluttered in the wind. Kayla didn't seem to be impressed either. But both Annabeth and Nico gazed down proudly at it, though Annabeth also seemed sad, like the place brought unhappy memories. "Follow us." Annabeth ordered. Now that we weren't about to die, I could see her stormy gray eyes. Immediately intimidated, I followed her directions. Once I passed the pine tree, I saw everything in a whole new light. The house was now an upscale mansion. There was a beautiful arrangement of cabins in a greek omega. Normally, most people would enjoy it here. But there was an air of sadness, and sorrow. When people saw us, their faces shone with hope. "Have you seen Per-" a boy asked, but was cut off by Nico. "No." he simply said, then lead us past him. That happened a couple of times. We stopped at a picnic table, holding a pudgy man, along with a guy in a wheelchair. He questioned us, "Hello, any sign of Perc-" and Nico interrupted for the gajillionth time, "No." I could of sworn that man's eyes shone with disapointment. One look at Annabeth and I saw she looked ready to cry. If I glanced to my right, I could see that Kayla was just as confused as I was. That was about when I realized that there was an awkward silence. The guy sitting on the picnic table sighed, then inpatiently said, "Chiron, are you going to bet or not? I have to get back to Olympus soon." Chiron laid down a set of winning cards and turned to Annabeth. "You can go now. Just remember to bring Butch." he told her. For once, her face shone with excitement as she ran off.
Sorry for the long wait. I will try to update sooner. Thankyou for reading. Double thanks if you review! :)
