Hello, i know i left the last chapter on a cliff hanger but it was screaming for one. It wasn't much of one but in a sense. Well i hope you like this chapter! It is sort of going to explain stuff...maybe. I have to think about it.

Disclaimer: Trust me i don't own PJO i swear on the River Styx! Ka-Boom!!!

Chapter 7:

I don't remember being taken out of the water but when i woke up i was laying, face up, on the beach. It was dark outside except for the moon that felt like a night light. I was trying to get up but when i started to sit up there was a throbbing pain in my head. I said back down and started to moan. That was when i realized there was some one with me.

I looked up and to my surprise is was Lord Poseidon.

"Annabeth? Are you alright?" Poseidon said standing knee deep in the ocean.

"I-i don't know. What happened?" I asked.

"Well, i found you unconscious at the bottom of my kingdom," Poseidon said seriously.

That is when i remembered everything that happened. Percy getting taken by a shark thing. Then it hitting me with its tail and passing out. Percy yelling at me to swim.

"Where is Percy?" I asked scared of the answer.

That made his face fall and i could see the sorrow in his eyes.

"No, i don't know where he is."

I felt like crying. It had all happened so fast. Where could Percy be? Somewhere even a god didn't know. That thought worried me. At least Percy could breath underwater, if that was where he was.

"But your a god how can you not know?" I asked curiosity.

"Well, that was what worried me. Will you please tell me everything you remember?" He asked moving closer to me.

"Of course, um, we were going swimming and he put an air bubble around us. Then a big shark like creature came and took Percy then knocked me unconscious," I said struggling to sit up.

"Here let me help you," Poseidon said coming over to me and helped me sit up.

"Did he tell you anything before he..." Poseidon said not able to finish his sentence.

"Yes he said, and i quote, 'Annabeth swim' yeah that's it," I said almost crying.

"Oh," he said. I don't think i have ever seen a god so concerned about their child but Poseidon look as worried as my father did when i got lost in the theme park that one time.

"I'm sorry," I said putting my hand on his shoulder.

"It is okay, child. I am just worried," he said sitting down next to me.

"I didn't know that gods cared so much about their children," I said hoped that didn't come out rudely.

"Most don't; some do," he said smiling.


As i was walking back to camp i kept replaying Lord Poseidon and mine conversation in my mind. I stopped thinking about that when i realized that i had to tell Chiron that Percy disappeared. Then i realized that Chiron wasn't here. I had an idea but it could get me in so much trouble. I had to go into Percy's cabin and use his fountain.

I made it to his cabin without being seen but that was the least of my problems. When i walked it i almost cried because it smelled like the ocean. Percy's shield was hanging on a nail by his bed and the letter he was working on was on his table. I got curious and started to read it. Scrawled in Percy's messy handwriting it said:

Mom,

I'm not dead. When i blew up Mt. Saint Helens i went to an island where i was nursed back to health. Don't worry about me Annabeth will be here, okay. I alway know you trust her to take care of me. Eat some blue waffles for me.

Percy

That letter made me feel awful. Percy trusted me to take care of him but instead i left him, most likely, to die.

I had to stop thinking about that because i had to contact Chiron. I picked up a golden drachma and threw it into the water.

"O' goddess Iris except my offering. Show me Chiron on Olympus."

Then i could see Chiron talking to the gods about something stupid...the rain. The only god that wasn't saying anything was Lord Poseidon. Poor guy/god.

I couldn't wait any longer i had to get Chiron's attention.

"Chiron!" I yelled. He heard his name and turned around to see me. The throne room fell quiet.

"Annabeth? Is something wrong?" he said trotting over to me.

I took a quick glance at Poseidon and i saw him nod.

"W-well," I said on the verge of tears, "Percy is...been taken."

Chiron's expression told me that wasn't the news he wanted to here.

"What happened, child?" Chiron said but i could barley hear him.

"Chiron?" was the last thing i said before the Iris message disappeared.

I couldn't go back to my cabin so i just sat there a cried. Perceus Jackson once again ruins my life. I don't even cry easily.


i woke up the next day on the floor of the Poseidon cabin. My back was stiff and my eyes hurt from crying. I didn't know what time it was but it had to be early because from what i could tell everyone was still asleep.

I got up and walked out the door and started heading back to the Athena cabin because i was still tired. When i got inside everyone was up and had worried expressions on their faces.

"Annabeth!" Davis yelled and they all ran over to give me a hug.

"Where have you been?" my baby brother Sammie said.

"No where," I assured him but i mouth to the others i would tell them later.

"Where were you really?" Sammie asked.

"On a walk," I said without missing a beat.

"At 7 in the morning?" he said obviously not buying it.

"Yes, that early. Can i go to sleep now?" i asked and everyone left me alone to sleep.

I made sure that when i woke up that my sibling were at activities. When i woke up there was a note at the foot of my bed.

Annabeth,

Come to the Big house imediently when you get this. I need to hear everything that happened before and when Percy got taken. Poseidon told me what he knew and i need to know more.

Chiron

With that i jumped out of bed put a fresh pair of clothes on and rushed out the door.

I almost ran down about a dozen campers but i had to get to the Big house. By the time i reached the porch i was out of air but that didn't stop me. I walked in to the living room to find Chiron in his wheel chair, pacing.

"You wanted to see me," i said standing at the door.

"Tell me what happened."

After i told him everything that happened he didn't seem to relax. I was going to find him. I didn't care what Chiron would say i was going to find him.

"Go consult the oracle."

I was walking up the steps the get to the attic that held the oracle, scared. This place always gave me the creeps. When i actually got up to the attic i saw the green mummy thing that was the oracle.

I walked over to it not wanting to waste anytime.

"Where is Perceus Jackson?" I asked it/her.

A green smoke came out of it mouth and it started to talk in its raspy voice.

You shall bring three but two will go;

to the place where Titan roam

met the one you've defeated

and take home the child that is needed.

The green smoke went away and i run slash speed walked out of there.

I told Chiron the prophecy Then had to choose people to bring. Since Thalia was here with the Hunters i chose her and Laura, my sister. I wanted to take Grover but he was out searching for Pan again.

That was when it hit me i've got a quest.
