Thalia P.O.V
Where did those two stupid, idiots go? I wouldn't admit this to anybody but I was worried about them. Well, time to tell Chiron. I walked towards the big house ignoring the other early bird students, Good morning's and continued to walk. "Chiron." I called when I walked inside. Strange. There was nobody there. Hmm. I swear that Chiron is always in the big house unless there's another event going on. I didn't recall that there were any other events on... Right? I heard snoring from the other room. Oh. That was why, he was still sleeping. I tiptoed towards the door of this room and knocked three times, lightly. He didn't answer so I opened the door and stepped inside. "Chiron? Wake up!" I almost screamed, well, desperate times call for desperate measures. I didn't feel right to shout at Chiron but well, yeah.
"Gah!" Chiron said, immediately sitting up, "What's the matter, Thalia?"
"Umm... Chiron? Why do you have curlers in your tail?" I asked him, holding in my laughter.
"Oh... Umm... Because... I want to?" Chiron answered, a little huffy, "well, what do you want, Thalia?"
"Sir, Percy and Annabeth are missing!" I quickly explained to him what had happened, "I was walking past Percy's cabin this morning and he wasn't there! Then I went to Annabeth's room to ask her about the exercises that we were supposed to do and Malcom told me that she hadn't been there when he woke up. So I thought that they had just gone to the mess hall early, but they weren't there either. I looked everywhere for them, but I didn't find them. So I came to you to tell you." I let out my breath. I only just realized that I had been holding it in.
"Hmm... This is not the first time. So Thalia, return to your normal camp activities. If they aren't back by the day after tomorrow then I will allow you to go and look for them." Chiron answered thoughtfully.
"But-" I quickly protested, but I was cut off by Chiron with a final "don't argue tone".
"The day after tomorrow." He said a bit icily.
-No P.O.V-
After waiting all day, it was almost 12 midnight and the Percy and Annabeth hadn't showed up. So, Thalia decided to pack it in for the night and go to bed.
-That night- (Back to Thalia P.O.V)
"Annabeth! Luke! Percy!" I called desperately. "Look, i-I'm sorry for everything I did to you guys. Okay? Happy? Now please some back!" But the vague outlines of them just kept on walking. None of them looked back. I tried to follow them but it was no use. I couldn't move my legs. I looked down and saw that my legs were chained to a rock. I bent down and quickly tried to undo the chains but they wouldn't undo. I looked back up and yelled for them to stop. But they didn't and kept on walking. "Stop you stupid idiots! Don't leave me!" I looked down at my feet and when I looked back up my heart stopped beating for a second. They. Were. Gone. "Ahhh!" I screamed. I shot up and raised my hand to my forehead. It was thick with perspiration. "It was just a dream, just a dream, Thalia. Get a hold of yourself. A daughter of Zeus will not cry." I chanted quietly to myself. Still, a lone tear rolled slowly down my cheek. Why? What had I done to deserve this? Please Gods, tell me. I looked over to check the time. It was 3 am. 'Surprisingly', I didn't want to go back to bed. I decided to go and talk to Poseidon. After putting on top of jumper, I walked outside of the Zeus cabin and breathed in the familiar, fresh air of Camp Half-Blood, it relaxed me. Somehow. I walked to the beach and sat down on the shoreline, letting my toes get wet. I took a deep, shaky breath. "Lord Poseidon, please help your son, Perseus Jackson in his safe speedy return." I pleaded towards the sea. I shivered, it was really chilly in the mornings. Cold? It was summer! Oh. The cleaning harpies. According to Chiron, they started their rounds at around 3 am. Oh crap. I could see them from a distance. Ugly things. (A/N: I didn't know their descriptions, so, I made them up ) Shit. I could hear them coming! I scrambled to my feet and darted behind a bush. Little did I know that behind this very bush was the very hole that Percy and Annabeth had discovered and fallen in to the hole. And that my left foot was centimetres behind that very hole. I peeked around the bush and saw to my disgust that there was a harpy no less than 15 metres away from 'my' bush. Instinctively, I stepped backwards, away from the harpy...
Hehe. I', gunna leave you guys on a cliffie. Well, it's not technically a cliffie coz I'm sure you guys can guess whats gunna happen. ( :
