The Spy is…

Well, I don't think I should tell you yet. I'm going to wait. Anyway, The spy informed us the plans of Hyperion's army. Like the tactics, strategies, and secret weapons and hiding spots. I remember Chiron needed to tell me something at Zeus's Fist, so I went to the Big House and asked him to tell me. He replied to me by seeing him after chariot practice.

I was readying my chariot with Nico when I saw Annabeth reading a Greek book, probably architecture. Nico came up to me and put a hand on my shoulder. He patted it and walked back to the chariot. Man, that gets annoying sometimes when he does that.

I walked up the steps to Annabeth and sat next to her. It was quiet. Too quiet.

"What you reading?" I asked, breaking the silence. Not even looking up from her book she answered "A Greek myth about Athena." After another deafen silence, Chiron blew the racing horn, meaning I had to get ready.

When I got up to leave, Annabeth grabbed my wrist. I turned around and saw her misty, gray eyes. I embraced her. She moved closer into my shoulder, and I gripped her tightly. I knew that back in the old times at Camp Half-Blood, that when they used to have races; some people died. Three I think.

I kissed Annabeth, and went to get ready for the race.

I grabbed my armor and the helmet Nico and I would wear. The helmet had a gray and blue feather protruding from the top. Our chariot was from Poseidon, and the horses from Hades. I would be controlling the chariot, while Nico manned the weapons. The Chariot my father gave me was awesome.

The base coat was navy blue, and had swirls, curves, and a lot of patterns that ranged from light blue, to dark blue. Along with white and gold embodying the top, bottom, and sides. The skeleton horses were gray and dusty.

We all lined up at the starting line. The Ares cabin, lead by Clarisse, were next to us. Apollo was to the left.

People were yelling and cheering. A crowd had formed in the stands, but I could still see Annabeth aside from everyone. She waved and gave a thumbs up. It started to drizzle. Umbrellas appeared for the fans. Finally, Chiron blew the horn, signalizing the race to begin. I urged my horses to pull forward, and I swear, pardon my language, all Tartarus broke lose.

Thunder rolled across the sky, waves crashed, the Earth shook, The Gods really like Chariot races. The Ares and Dionysus cabin pulled ahead, as did we. I grabbed the reins so tight, as if it were the only lifeline holding me down in a hurricane.

I thought my arms would come off. The Dionysus cabin leaders, John Bookers, and Steve Wright, pulled to the right of us, while Clarisse did the same to our left. Steve pushed a button, and an axe swung at us. Clarisse and Chris, her boyfriend, had the same idea; but instead of an axe, a sword and grappling hook came out. The same grappling hook came out from Steve and John's chariot.

"Hold On!" I yelled to Nico, who was holding on for dear life. "I was planning to!" he screamed back.

Both chariots' hooks latched onto the side of ours. The side began to creak as our opponents chariots veered away from each other. We were coming up to the first turn fast. I don't mean race horse fast, I'm talking race car fast.

I grabbed a lever and pulled it sideways, so the wheels would turn horizontally. At the same time Nico veered the stallions to the left, making us go sideways.

(A/N Kind of what you do on Mario Cart on sharp turns.)

That force tipped the Dionysius chariot flying in the other direction. It was very difficult to practice. Nico and I had to perfect it while no one could see our strategy. Ares was completely caught off guard, but still in pursuit. I Looked to my right, somehow hearing my name. I saw Annabeth pointing to a giant screen advertising bottled water.

Annabeth! This is no time for a water break!

The hook was still anchored to our side wing of the chariot. I looked back a Annabeth, she looked desperate. She again pointed to the sign. Something felt weird in my stomach. Now I get what she was telling me to do.

I summoned my Poseidon powers, felt the familiar feeling in my gut, and made a sword of water come from the rain droplets. I ordered Nico to keep hold of the reins while I cut the grappling hook.

I slashed and swung downward, until the metal went with a clank to the ground. I thought we gained speed. Clarisse pulled right up to us, and her and I clashed with swords. I used the move Luke showed me to unarm my opponent. Clarisse didn't pay attention to Luke much, so she didn't know the move.

With a kick to the wheel mantle, the Ares chariot crashed into some hay. Nico and I won by crossing the finish line. I think all Hades broke loose as soon as we crossed the finish line. Annabeth was running towards us. She jumped up, and I had just enough time to catch her and twirl her around. "You did it."She whispered.

When I set her down, she hugged Nico. I went around, shaking hands with fellow campers, even Clarisse. It was dark when we started, and even darker when we ended. I said goodnight to my pregnant girlfriend, and went to my cabin for some much need rest.

I was dreaming. I saw the war. Hundreds of enemies and allies scattered the battlefield. I looked to the distance. I saw someone tied to a post. Somehow, I moved forward. But not with my feet, it was a weird sensation too hard to describe. When I got to the post, I gasped.

It was Annabeth.

She looked, well, bigger. Around eight months pregnant. She was sweating and coughing. Crimson landed at my feet. She looked up. "Percy…help….the...b-baby" She coughed out. The vision started to fade. She kept muttering the same thing she had said to me. I tried to run to her, but with no avail. Usually my dreams mean something bad.

"Percy." a deep voice called. "Wake up. Wake up Percy." I jerked awake, only to find Nico and a couple of people with him, including Thalia, Clarisse and Malcolm; Annabeth's half brother.

"Percy.' He said, shakily.

"yeah?" I asked cautiously.

"Annabeth's gone."

Bella- I'm sorry it's short! But I have he other chapter figured out, and I wanted to get it our of my brain!

Percy- Why is Annabeth gone? What did you do? *continues rant*

Nico- Oh here we go. Better get me some popcorn.

Thalia- shut up you too! *Slaps Percy on the head, trips Nico*

Both- Ow!

Thalia- Why don't you review and tell us how it was.

Bella- Here's a sneak peek of the next chapter!

I leaped out of bed. Thalia grabbed ahold of the collar of my shirt. "Woah. Hold your horses Perce. We looked everywhere." I shook my head. "This can't be happening!" I yelled. Nico patted my back.

"We looked everywhere. The field were we play capture the flag, the lake, Olympus, the Big House, the Athena cabin. Perce, I asked Luke if she was down in Hades, she isn't."

"Hey!" I shouted. "I need to tell you my dream." I recalled my strange dream, involving Annabet and her being tied up. Thalia said we should just wait.

"No." I replied. I bolted out the door. I ran as fast as my long legs would carry me. I ran straight to the arena where we did our chariot races; where I last saw Annabeth. I was running so fast that a crowd of campers following couldn't keep up. I prayed to the Gods, mostly to Athena, that Annabeth would be there. I broke the door, and ran inside. What I found, was...was horrifying.
