I don't own anything.
Annabeth couldn't stop thinking about what happened last night, Percy hadn't kissed her in months, they didn't mention what happened but every time Percy looked at her she looked away shyly. "well, it's going to be a long day." Leo said, after all, all they were doing today was hiking up mountains and listening to Leo's lame jokes. Once they were done packing Jason got the water bottles out and filled them up with water from the stream, later they would clean the water by having Leo heat it up. "which day do we go?" Leo couldn't read a compass to save his life, "West" of course Annabeth new, she was the smartest one at camp.
The mountain they had to climb first was really steep, Jason slipped on wet mud a few times, that's when his flying came in handy. Half way of the mountain they heard a noise, the noise didn't sound like any animal Percy has ever heard, "Duck!" if Jason would have said that a second later they would have all been crushed by a soaring boulder, "thanks" Leo said. they heard the noise again, "what is that?" they all said together, a cyclops appeared in a tree. The Cyclops threw a spear at Percy, he ducked and then unclicked riptide, Jason dodge rolled behind a boulder right before the second spear hit the exact spot Jason was just standing. Percy started slashing riptide around trying to hit the cyclops but it was to fast, Annabeth tried to get close to the horse with her sword but every time she tried, the horse would vanish then re-appear somewhere else, Annabeth distracted the cyclops while Percy cut the Cyclops's leg, gold liquid started pouring out. The cyclops vanished and then re-appeared right next to Annabeth, "Help!" Annabeth screamed, the cyclops grabbed Annabeth's leg and started dragging her away, Annabeth started slashing the cyclops with her sword but it was no use, every time she would cut the cyclops, the skin would always cover up the wound. Percy, Jason and Leo started chasing after Annabeth but by the time they could even register what happened, the Cyclops had already dragged her far. "Percy!" Annabeth screamed, although it was really faint, Percy heard Annabeth's voice calling for him and then her voice was gone, Annabeth had been taken.
