I know Rachel was the Oracle Okay? Jeez, I got like three or four reviews saying Rachel as the oracle. I know that, I wanted to do that vision Percy saw. If you have any questions, let me know and I'll answer them.

Plus, there's going to be a twist in this fun little story! I'm Evil…Mwhahaha!


After hearing that cheerful prophecy, we -meaning Nico, Thalia and me- headed of toward Annabeth. After flying for a couple hours, (And a couple sugar cubes to let Nico stay on the Pegasus) we decided to stop and rest at a hotel. Chiron had given us almost $1,000 in money ( he said he got it by converting it from drachmas) for food and what not. We told Blackjack and Porkpie to go somewhere that they could chill for the night, but to still be in range in case of an emergency.

Thalia, Nico and I walked in the hotel room, and I instantly felt something was wrong. Not with the beds or anything, but with the air. It felt heavy and thick. "Hey guys." I said, looking around the room. "Do you think, well…something's not right?"

Nico, being the weird cousin he is, tried to grab the air. "Yeah. It feels like someone poured molasses in here." Thalia agreed . "Let's just try to sleep for a few hours." We all agreed, and climbed into bed. None of us bothered to change, and as soon as our heads met the fluffy pillows; we were out like a light.

Later that night.

I laid there for awhile, thinking up a plan. I think Athena helped me because I thought of a good one. I said thank you to her, and quietly got out of bed. I took a pen and a piece of paper, and wrote a note to Thalia an Nico that I needed to do something. I went to the roof, and whistled. Blackjack came a second later, how she does that will always be a mystery.

'Yo boss, where are we going?' Blackjack asked, tilting her head just a bit to the side, as if she were confused. That was one of the thing I loved about Blackjack. She was so different from the other pegasi, it was as if she were Rudolph, strange and different. Unique.

"Somewhere far, Blackjack. Somewhere far."

"What?" I broke away from him. Ethan stared at me. "I thought you would be happy." He replied in a slightly deeper and almost to cheery voice.

"No! First you take me away from my friends and boyfriend- whose child I am having, cater to my every need; and expect me to just leave it all to be with you? What in the Hades is wrong with you! Did you get hit on your head at sword practice?" I yelled at him.

"Why don't you just leave it all?" His voice sounded…darker and colder. No one could sound like that. I backed up so much that my back hit the wall. Out of nowhere, a massive headache formed.

His eyes glowed like fire. I could see right through his eye patch, which freaked me out. Then, as quickly as it came, the feeling went away. I held my head in both hands, and dropped to the floor. I had a pounding headache just from looking at Ethan's eyes. I hadn't noticed Ethan was next to me until he was checking my pulse on my neck.

"Get. Off . Of. Me!" I grunted. He backed away from me, completely stunned. He looked at his hands as if they weren't his. "Annabeth, I'm sorry." he kept apologizing, but I was barely listening. My hand went from my head, to my stomach. It didn't feel right. I felt like throwing up and passing out. In the back of my throat I made a weird sound, sort of like a gurgle and a croak. "Help" I said, barely audible.

Ethan barreled over to my side and checked my pulse and forehead. He helped me stand up. I staggered. Ethan told me everything would be okay, and I fell into his outstretched arms. Just before I blacked out, I thought 'those eyes seemed familiar.'


I woke up feeling dizzy. My head was throbbing, and my chest pounded. I tried to sit up, but I groaned and fell back on the pillow. I closed my eyes for a second, and felt something soft and cold on my head. I opened them and found Ethan staring back at me with his blue eye. "Hey sleepy head." he said softly.

I tried to get up again, but my migraine said otherwise.

I groaned again and fell back on the bed. "Don't move." Ethan said to me. He helped me sit up. I coughed, and felt tears brimming my eyes. I though of one person; Percy.

I wish I could ruffle his unruly black hair, or call him a Seaweed brain. But I really wanted to see those evergreen eyes. They could hypnotize you, just like they did to me when I first met him. I heard myself whimper, and Ethan came forward and, very awkwardly, gave me a hug.

My arms wouldn't work, but as he hugged me; I felt secure. When Percy held me, I always felt this way.

I cried into Ethan's chest, and he held me tighter.

"Listen," he said, he was whispering. "I swear I really don't want to kill Percy." That stopped me from crying. I looked up at him, "You...don't?" I replied, my voice very small.

He nodded. "Swear on the River...Styx…that you won't hurt him." I told Ethan. He put a hand up and swore. He came back over and hugged me tight.

"I'm being controlled Annabeth. What happened before wasn't me. I wanted to stay at Camp, I really did. I was touched from what Percy did for us; the unclaimed Demigods."

I couldn't help it. I hugged his chest and I sobbed so much that I started to hiccup. So there I was; shivering, hiccupping and sounding like an idiot.

Ethan pulled me closer, and in doing so, he brought my slightly bigger belly pushed into his. "Listen," he said softly. "I'll be right back. I need to get something." Ethan promised.

but as he tried to get up, I held him.

"Don't leave." I whispered. My hormones were out of whack.

"I'll be right back. I promise" Reluctantly I let go, and watched him walked through the doors; and just for a moment…he looked like Percy.


While Making this chapter, I listened to the Percy Jackson soundtrack 'End Credits' The songs in the movie were one of the things they didn't mess up on. I have the entire Percy Jackson soundtracks on my Ipod, and I don't regret it!

Question Of the Chapter-

Who do you think is controlling Ethan? And what is Percy up too?
