Another chapter, another day hope you all like it.

"You will never find him!" Said a grumbly voice, "He is dead."

"No!" I yelled back sobbing.

"Not even your mother believes in you, join me and I shall bring him back to you."

Instantly Percy appeared in front of me, smiling and calling out my name. As I reached for him, he disappeared. "I can bring him to you, you can live a happy life." Said the same voice.

"No! Never!" I screamed

"Fine then he shall die, along with you!" Where Percy had been, a new picture formed. It was Percy battling monsters, there was too many of them. In one swift moment a monster from behind stabbed him. He fell to the ground, trying to breathe, gasping for breath.

"Annabeth, help me please!" He screamed in pain, "Please, Annabeth…."

I got up and ran to his side; when I reached down to grab his hand he disappeared. When I heard a laughing voice I turned around, only to see a knife coming down on my…

I shot up, in cold sweat. I felt a hand on my right shoulder, when I turned I saw Malcolm.

"Are you ok?" He asked with a concerned face, probably already knowing the answer.

"Ya…" I choked out, barley able to talk.

"Annabeth..." He started to say, but I had already gotten up.

"Malcolm I am fine, I just need a shower." Before he could respond I grabbed a towel, and went to the bathroom.

That's how most of my conversations went with him. He would wake me up from a horrible dream, try to talk to me, but I would just shut him out. At first my whole cabin would come to see if I was ok, but I would just lash out at them, saying they would not understand. After that, they would just send Malcolm to come wake me up. Smart move on their part, but they are children of Athena or course they are smart.

When I got in the shower, I could only think of the dream I just had. It…It was so real, I thought he had died, and I could do nothing about it. His last words where my name, and I could not even help him.

After I took a much need shower, I headed to the dining hall. Now you have to understand, in the physical and mental state that I was in, no one dared to talk to me, or get in my way. I would get my food, put some food in the fire for the gods, usually Athena for wisdom and Poseidon to bring Percy back, and go sit at the head of the Athena table. I would usually just stare at my food while my other cabin mates talked. When the daily activates would start I would go straight to the beach, not caring what I had that day. Most times I would just sit there and think. Even though I do not want to admit it to myself, I did cry most times. I just missed Percy so much, and the only way for me to get over it was to go and look for the guy himself.

I picked myself up, went to my cabin, and up to my room. Grabbed my bag, computer, some cloths, my knife, some food and…crap I ran out of nectar and ambrosia, off to the infirmary.

As I walked to the infirmary, I looked around the camp. I saw campers just having fun, like nothing ever happened. I was mad they could just not care, he saved the Freaking world, and they don't care that he was gone. I am the only one doing anything or even caring. By the time I looked back up I was in the infirmary.

"Hey Annabeth!" Will said greeting me, "What can I do for you?"

"I need some more nectar and ambrosia."

"Um...Annabeth you need rest, you…." Before he could finish his sentence I had my knife at his throat.

"Give me nectar and ambrosia, now." I growled.

"OK…OK…just drop the knife." He said putting his hands in the air.

I dropped my knife, and he went over to the cabinet to get the nectar and ambrosia.

"Here, and be careful." He said handing me what I needed

"Thanks." I said walking out to go find Chiron.

Even though I wish I could go in and out of camp when I pleased, I couldn't. I had to tell Chiron. Thankfully he was just in his office and not teaching a class. I went to his office, and knocked on the door.

"Come-in." I heard him say. "Ah Annabeth how…"

"I am going to look for Percy." I said cutting him off, and turning around to leave.

"Annabeth wait." He pleaded.

"Fine, please hurry." I said turning back around.

"Sit." He said glaring at me, as of saying 'sit down, or you are not going' so I listened. "You need to rest; you are going to get hurt."

Not this speech again, I have heard this from about 10 different people.

"Chiron, no, I am fine." I said resisting the urge to punch him. "I have… I need to find him Chiron."

"Annabeth, just wait."

"For what Chiron! For what?!" I yelled at him. "If I wait he…he…"

I could not say it, I could not say he might…gods I can't even think it.

"Annabeth, I am sure he is fine."

"No, he is not, now bye I am going to look for Percy." I said not waiting for an answer, just storming out the door and slamming it behind me.

How Chiron could not even care about him, made me even madder and more determined to find him. When I got to the top of the hill, Blackjack landed in front of me. Oh right I forgot to tell you about Blackjack.

For those who do not know, Blackjack is Percy's Pegasus. He rescued him from a monster filled ship back on one of our quests. Since Percy saved him, Blackjack is, or what Percy has told me, internally grateful and will do anything for Percy. Blackjack also always calls Percy boss, even though Percy hates it. Before Percy…left..ya that's a good word, Percy and I would go on rides, not just only to Olympus. When Percy did go missing, Blackjack went insane looking for him, and would also not let anybody come near him. One night, when I was by the lake crying he came and landed next to me, looked down on me, and laid next to me. I don't know why I did, but I started crying into Blackjack, and he did not even flinch. After that whenever I would go to the hill, Blackjack understood I was going to look for Percy, and would land in front of me, basically asking if I needed a ride.

Any ways, this time I actually needed a ride. I have looked everywhere in New York, so I decided to look just outside of New York. If I walked it would take a couple of days, and that was a trip I did not need to take.

"Can you take me outside of New York?" I asked Blackjack praying that he understood me.

Blackjack just nodded his head, and started flapping his wings as of saying, 'get on my back'. I walked up to blackjack, and hoped on. Right as I hoped on, he launched in the air. I almost screamed, and grabbed onto Blackjacks neck.

After a 20 minute ride, Blackjack dropped me off and went on his own little search. Thankfully it was around 10:00 in the morning so I had about seven and a half hours before it was too dark. I did not waste any time, and started looking right away.

When looking in the woods, it's basically a guess and check. After about four hours of walking around, it was about 2:00 in the afternoon, I was a little hungry. I grabbed a granola-bar out of my bag to eat while I walked. When walking around I did not find anything that interesting, and especially not Percy. Well I was just glad there were no monster attacks; don't know why I even thought that because right after I thought that the Minotaur jumped out from a bush. Now I seriously had no idea how one, I did not notice it before and two how it was back from Tartarus by now. Percy had killed it again during the Titian War, but so much crazy stuff was happening right now I did not give it much thought.

The thing with the Minotaur was it was big, so it could not take sharp turns. I did not think much of it, till two hellhounds jumped out next to it. Why are the gods doing this to me!

"Haha, young demigod that is not the gods!" laughed Gaea, "Join me and the monsters will disappear."

"No! Never, just leave me alone!" I said

Trying to fight the Minotaur, two hellhounds, and trying to ignore the goddess of the earth was not an easy task. Not only was that hard, but I was tired. I should have listened to Chiron, gods, now was not the time to discourage myself I had a monsters to kill!

I decided to take out the hellhounds first; they would be a much easier task. I started to run in the opposite direction, and make sharp turns. Since the Minotaur would slow down, I could get the Hellhounds alone. When I was running I saw a large rock, I climbed on top of it, so I could jump on the hellhounds. Thankfully hellhounds are not that smart and easy to kill so my plan worked.

Now I had to deal with the Minotaur, which I had never done before. Usually I had Percy at my side, and the only person to defeat the Minotaur on their own was Percy. I was Annabeth Chase, if anybody could do it I could.

"You will fail." Gaea said in my mind.

I ran as fast as I could and put on my Yankee cap but forgot it no longer worked since the fight with my mother, I cursed at my stupidity, but kept running. Instead I made many sharp turns, to confuse the Minotaur. Finally once I got far enough ahead of him I started to climb a tree. I waited for him to get under and I jumped, landing on his back. I stabbed the Minotaur many times in the back, before he threw me off. I went flying off its back, and into the tree behind me hitting my head, Hard.

I felt blood running down my neck. I tried to stand up, but fell eminently. When I looked up I saw the Minotaur, it was in bad shape, but still alive. If only I could of stabbed it once more. It looked down on me, and began to charge, this was it. The next thing I saw was an arrow piercing the Minotaur's skin and it bursting into gold dust.

"Annabeth!" I heard somebody scream. I wanted to yell back, but nausea had already taken over. The world was spinning before my eyes, and I blacked out.

So another long chapter! Hope you liked it :)
