ANNABETH:

I was jolted out of sleep to see Percy standing above me. "Percy!" I screamed with joy and threw my arms around his neck. "Where's Grover?"

"Right here!" Grover called from somewhere behind me.

"Gods. I thought you were dead. Never scare me like that again, Percus Jackson." I growled at him.

He flinched. "I hate it when you call me that."

"You scared me to death. You deserve it." I mumbled.

"Hey, man. If you want to go on to sleep you can. I'll stay up." James said from the edge of our circle.

"Thanks." Percy said, laying down beside me.

The next morning we were met by a god.

Hermes was waiting for us when we woke up. "Good morning young heros!" He said. James looked confused. "I'm Heres, god of messengers. Do you know how you are going to get to camp?"

"Not sure yet." Percy mumbled.

"If you would like I could give you a ride on the sun chariot.. I can't take you all the way. But I could get you to Pennsylvania." He told me.

"That would be great lord Hermes." I told him.

"Alright then. I'll be back. Avert your eyes children." He called before turning into his divine form. Soon a huge bus thing was driving toward us, beaming brightly. It shone so brightly we were forced to advert our eyes.

"All aboard." He called opening the doors.

We all got in the van and Percy, Grover, and I sat down in the back. I let Andrew sit with us and James and his siblings sat a few isles up.

"From here we'll go straight for New York.. It might get late. We'll have to spend the night somewhere." Percy was saying.

I leaned my head on his shoulder and he smiled at me.

For a while everything was silent.

"You guys get off next!" Hermes called to us.

When the sun set that night we were in a small town near the edge of Pennsylvania. We stopped at a hotel and got six rooms with the money Hermes had given us along with his BE SAFE package. Percy, Grover, Andrew, and I ended up in a room and the rest of them were kind of with their newly made friends or family members. There was at least two older kids in each room so we knew it was okay for the rest of us to stay together.

They were all to meet up with us the next morning.

Grover took one bed and so Andrew went to the couch and layed down. I walked over to him and knelt beside him. "How are you doing, Andrew?"

"Fine.. are we close?" He asked me quietly.

"Yes. Maybe tomorrow we'll be at camp." I told him, smiling.

"Okay.." He turned over and cuddled up with the blanket. "Night Annabeth." He mumbled.

I sat there until I could hear his light snoring.

Smiling to myself, I turned around and found Percy staring at me again.

"What is with you Percy?" I asked, walking over to him.

"I never knew you were good with children.... It makes me want to....." He trailed off, shaking his head.

I sat down beside him. "I love you Percy." I mumbled, kissing him. "Do you think we'll get back tomorrow? It seems to.. easy."

"Let's look at the prophesy." He mumbled. "Two shall go. Check."

"One shall fight them all." I mumbled, looking at him. "That was you."

"One might be lost in a bat of fire. Haven't run into that one yet, have we?" He asked me.

"Nope. Something to look forward to." I muttered, sarcastically.

I cuddled up against his chest and prayed to the gods that there would be no dreams tonight.
