A/N: Okay, here it is, and I am soooooooo sorry it's so short, but I had writers block so I put in a bunch of filler. If you have ideas, ANYONE, then please send me them. I at loss for words. (Unusual for me)
Ten days later, after Percy was informed of the new quest, Mr. D finally got back, and was also informed of what was to come.
"Well, that makes sense, because what was stolen was a ring."
"Who does this ring belong to?" Percy cut in next to Thalia. She stepped sideways towards Annabeth in disgust.
Mr. D glared at Percy. "Young people these days, never patient! The ring belonged to Hephaestus, he made it specially for someone very important to him, years ago, but she died later that day from a stray lightning bolt."
Percy glared at Thalia, and Annabeth gave her an odd, but amused stare.
"What? Ain't my fault. My dad is just cool that way." Thalia defended herself.
Annabeth patted her arm teasingly, giggling.
"Well, I don't think that's funny." Percy shot in.
"Well, you don't think anything is." Thalia mimicked.
"Everyone, shut it! You'll leave tomorrow, but you leave alone this time, not by car. You're leaving at six thirty, sharp, be ready, and head to Texas." Mr. D cut in before it got too crazy, and everyone fell silent. "Now, I suggest you all sleep in the same area instead of your normal cabins, as not to disrupt anyone. Well, just all camp out tonight, all right? No complaints." With that, he left.
Annabeth rolled her eyes, and she and Thalia left to get ready for 'camping', and they got packed.
..:!!:..
As the three of them lay down on their sleeping bags, they all thought the same thing.
What if I'm one of those who die on this quest?
None of them had an answer to that.
Annabeth began thinking,
I got these two into this quest, but if I only really want one of them to die, then I guess that means I want myself to die. Right? Well, that wouldn't make sense. Well, I guess it could, cause it's saying that I would give my life for one of my friends, and I guess I can respect that. Shows that I'm brave, but I wouldn't want to die, would I? I guess it's wrong of me to hope that Percy dies. That isn't right. But I don't want Thalia to die either. I'd die for both of them. Surprisingly. Wow, lots of guesses here.
When Thalia was staring up at the starts, she was thinking of the quest too, and if it would be her who survives, Percy, or her best friend Annabeth…
What if we're taking this the wrong way? What if, when Annabeth chooses between me and Percy, it means that if she picks Percy, they both live, but I die, and vise versa? We could be causing ourselves a lot of worry, and we could be completely wrong about this stupid quest. I should suggest what I'm thinking though…maybe I will tomorrow. I hope, though, that Annabeth doesn't die. I hope Percy does, wrong as that is for me to be thinking, but it was wrong of him to do all that stuff to Annabeth, who was nothing but nice to him!
And as Thalia continued to take out her long over due anger with Percy, Percy himself was thinking of how this quest was supposed to end….
Well, if we all do find this ring, what are we supposed to do with it? Yeah, bring it to the Gods, but if there is a traitor, which is probably Thalia, then what happens if she sneaks off with it in the night? Hmmm…how could I suggest this to Annabeth, if she hates me as is? I'm sure she wouldn't be the traitor…would she? I hope the traitor is Thalia, but even then, Annabeth will probably choose her over me…who wouldn't after what I did? Or what if it's Annabeth who's the traitor? Then she either choosing one who is loyal at all times to the Gods, probably me, or one who will easily change sides, which is Thalia…I mean, her father did turn her into a tree…I would probably change sides if my father did that to me…come on, harsh punishment much? Whatever, I think it was harsh.
As Percy, Annabeth, and Thalia drifted off into three, uneasy slumbers, a dark shadow passed over them, bringing darkness with it. Slowly, as if not to wake the campers, it got smaller and smaller, until it was the size of a pea, and tucked itself into Thalia's backpack.
A/N: As I said, I'm stuck. You can see that all that up there is just filler. Ideas, I'll take them. (PLEASE) but anyway, thanks for reading my new, and crappy, chappie. Review please, with wonderfull ideas. You're all wonderfull for reading this!! (Don't forget, ideaaaaaaas) Lol
