Pecy's P.O.V

Silence. That's what we heard after her outburst. I looked at her, feeling slightly startled. But what could you expect from six demigods staying in a haunted cottage?

"Annabeth." I said, my voice soft. She wouldn't meet my eyes. I looked at my friends.

"Guys. Can I talk to her alone?" I asked. They nodded and hurriedly exited the room. I stood up and lightly touched her shoulder. She whirled to look at me. I saw anger flash in her eyes.

"Don't touch me." she said, her voice deeep and forceful.

"Okay." I said, letting go.

"Will you please sit down so we can talk?" I asked.

"No." she said, almost immediately. I felt tired and a litte impatient.

"Why?" I asked, keeping my voice mild.

"Why should I listen to you, if your not going to listen to me?" she demanded. I was silent for a moment.

"Annabeth, I just want to work this out." I said. She wouldn't look at me.

"Please." I mumbled. She turned and I saw tears in her eyes.

"Percy, I just wanna leave." she sobbed. I tried to comfort her but she just pulled away. After she composed herself a few minutes later, she turned to glare at me. She stood up.

"Perseus Jackson, if you want to help me, you will take me from this place." she said, her voice deep and kind of creepy. Lightning flashed as she left the room. I felt frustrated. I leaned back in the chair. A few minutes later my friends walked back into the room.

"What happened?" asked Thalia. I took a deep breath.

"Annabeth wnats to leave. Now.'' I closed my eyes as my friends talked out our options. I hear them, but I only partially concious.

Another part of me was drifting off inot a deep sleep.

*DREAM*

I was sitting in the living room with my friends, then suddenly Leo cried out.

''Look it's sunny, we can leave!'' he exclaimed. I felt so happy I jumped up. Then in a flash, we were upstairs. We had our stuff packed up and we walked down the stairs. I pause in the staircase.

"Where's Annabeth?" I asked. Thalia looked at me.

"Who?'' she asked, her features were scrunched together.

"Annabeth." I said. Leo laughed.

"Is she your invisible girlfriend?" My friends laughed.

"Annabeth Chase." I said again. They just laughed. What was going on? I kept my mouth shut. Probably a prank. I followed my friends as we walked out into the sunshine. We didn't look back, Rysa Cottage was behind us.

We walked and soon reached Camp. I smiled at the familiar site.

Chiron came galloping and hugged us, happy we were safe. Next thing I knew, I was in my cabin. I sat on my bunk, laughing for no reason.

*BRING*

I turned at the sound of the cell phone.

There weren't supposed to be cell phones at camp.

*BRING*

I looked around searching. It was coming from inside the dresser. I jumped off the bed and opened the drawer. Sure enough, there was a cell phone. Silver and small it rang a few times before I picked it up.

"Hello?" I called into the phone. No response came at first. I thought it was busted when I heard something.

Annabeth.

"Help!" she screeched.

"Annabeth1" I called, my voice alert. Another voice spoke.

Beautiful yet scary.

Rysa.

"Stop! I'm in charge now. You cannot win. I will destroy you!" she screamed.

"Please, let me go!" wailed Annabeth.

Rysa laughed.

A horrifying noise.

"Ananbeth!" I shouted.

''Can you hear me?" I wondered.

"Percy!" I heard Annabeth bawling.

"Where are you?" I yelled. Suddenly there was silence, I thought the call had been cut when Rysa spoke.

"Hello, Perseus." said the voice. I swallowed.

"I must thank you for wanting to visit and bringing me back. I'm afraid though, that Annabeth is gone. Finsihed. She's mine..." drifted the voice.

"Why are you doing this?" I yelped, hoping no a response, but all I heard was static.

And then my dream was done.

*END OF DREAM*

I woke up with start. I was sweating. My forehead felt damp. My friends looked at me with concern.

"What's wrong, Percy?" asked Piper.

"Water." I croaked. Piper pulled out a water bottle and handed it to me.

I drank it all in a minute.

I gulped in some air and sighed.

"A bad dream." I muttered. I didn't feel ike explaining anything. I breathed in and out evenly. My friends sat in silence.

"AAAAAAAAAAH!' a scream rang out.

"Annabeth." I gasped. I was about to run when I began to see black spots.

"Sit, we'll go." said Nico. They raced up the steps, I heard doors opening and closing. Then I heard a big slam, probably opening the locked door. I sat down waiting.

I was about to close my eyes when I heard a thud.

My eyes flashed open as I saw Annabeth.

I gasped.

She grinned at me.

An evil glint in her eye. She was in a ripped white dress and her hair was wild.

"Annabeth?" I called, uncertain. She threw her head back to laugh.

"Bye, Perseus." she chuckled. She was hunched.

Quick as light, she tiptoed past me and towards the door. I stood up, ignoring the black spots. I heard the rain much more clearly.

"Annabeth!" I called, in alarm.

The door was wide open.

I ran quickly outside. The rain was heavy and you could barely see. I took a step out, trying to spot her white dress.

"Annabeth!" I called agin. I saw a flash of white by the trees. I took a step down. I was pelted by water and my feet were aquainted by some soggy grass.

"Percy!" I heard Thalia. I turned around.

"What are you doing?" asked Thalia.

"She's in there." I said, before walking out. I couldn't see much. I sprinted to the trees, slipping on a trunk.

I heard a laugh.

Annabeth.

I looked around, lying on the ground, I felt vulnerable. I scrambled to my feet and looked around.

Few drops fell on me, not that I was under the trees. The thick leaves offered much protection. I wiped at my hair as it fell in my eyes.

"Annabeth.." I called, softly. I heard faint yelling from the house. I turned to look at them. They were yelling and pointing to the trees. Couldn't they undertsand I knew she was here?

I took a step, but slipped on some slick mud, it was darker though. That's when I noticed the drips of red falling off the tree.

I slowly tilted my head up.

It was deark in the trees but I could make out the figure.

Blood dripped from its mouth.

Wet hair clung to its face.

It glared down at me.

I turned just in time to notice a bloody stick in the tree beside me.

The figure had tried to kill me.

Annabeth had tried to kill me.

I was so shocked I didn't see her leap of the tree at me.

A.N: SORRY!

I know it's been like forever,

but I was busy and had writers block.

Sorry!
