Chapter 4: my fiancee disappears
PERCY'S POV
I was dreaming that Annabeth was sitting with me at the peak of Mt. St Helens. The day that she kissed me 5 years ago. But the view was different, the sun was shining, no volcanoes exploding, no telkhines chasing us.
The view of her three years later was surprising for me. She chopped her hair shoulder length and trimmed her curls, which made her look like aphrodite. Wow.
But the expression in her face said it all: sadness. Tears ran down her face, all the fierceness gone.
"annabeth, why are you crying?" i tried to hug her but she evaded me.
"percy. We're going to meet again. And i'm not sure if i can handle it."
"annabeth, i'm not sure about live in Frisco, I in New York."
"we will, seaweed brain."
Then she disappeared and i woke up.
"meet again?" i wondered. "that's impossible."
I dressed up and called Isabel, trying to catch up with the latest wedding news. She wants one, big, pink, frilly wedding that probably now cost $1, 000,000.
But the one who answered is the operator. Wow, that's so unlike Isabel, who keeps her phone always on because of the frantic publishers and money-crazed publicists always calling her frantically.
I called her close friend, Michelle, but she claimed that she didn't see her since Isabel told her that she's going to visit an exclusive flower shop in Mayflore, Lousiana. She hasn't heard from Isabel since then.
Where was Isabel? I tried all morning to call her phone and everyone who must know about her whereabouts.
Then i got a call. I hurriedly picked it up, expecting Isabel, but it was rachel, my ex-almost-girlfriend.
"rache. Why? What is it?" i blabbed. Though that was a weird thing to say instead of hello, the only reason an oracle like rachel would call a guy was about a future she just saw.
"percy? Perce? I just saw a vision. And you're not gonna like it."
"how did you know what you just said?"
"i keep a recorder by my side always, to hear the prophecies."
"then what?"
There was a click the voice of oracle-rachel spoke:
" one mortal taken
One half-blood forsaken
The mortal held but is lost
The other in the land of frost
Two will search ,
To find things twisted but revealed by a torch"
"what's that supposed to mean?" i frustatingly cried. "i must search for Isabel."
"percy, wait!" she said. "Chiron wants you to come to camp first."
"what? Why? Isabel's in danger. Because... because of me!"
"percy." Her tone pleading. "come to camp. Please."
