I opened my eyes to a blinding light and thought Oh, great. I'm dead.

Soon my eyes adjusted and I realized I was in the infirmary again and someone had left the blinds open.

"Someone please turn off the sun." I mumbled still waking up.

I heard someone stir and scream "She's awake!" and footsteps after. Someone went over and shut the blinds. It was James, I could by the way the sun silhouetted his body and how it somehow stuck to his hair like some kind of halo, which only pushed my suspicion that I was dead.

"Thank gods. You're ok." He was practically tripping over himself to come hug me.

I tried to sit up and was met with a nasty pain.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Will said as he walked into the room. "You're still healing." He looked me over and checked all of the bruising to make sure it was healing. He gave me ambrosia and a cup of nectar with a bendy straw. He nodded to eat it and drink and then yelled "Alright she's fine. You guys can come in now."

Annabeth followed by Chiron in wheelchair form came in. Annabeth looked as if she had been crying for hours.

"How long was I out?" I started to perk up after eating the ambrosia.

"About two and a half days." James answered.

Chiron cleared his throat and James took that as his queue to leave. He kissed my cheek, blushed, and left the room. I remembered what happened between us and my stomach turned to knots as I reached up to touch my cheek where he kissed it.

"Ok, can you tell us what happened and did you find Percy?" That pulled me out of my thoughts.

At first I didn't know what they were talking about and then I tried to get out of bed and almost drop to the floor in pain if Will hadn't caught me and helped me back into bed, all the events of the night before rushed back.

I told them everything that had transpired leaving out the part about me and James kissing, which I knew I was going to have to sort out sooner or later, while drinking from my bendy strawed drink.

"Last thing I remember is Percy jumping into a hole down by Zeus' Fist and him saying he was sorry and he didn't want to hurt me."

Annabeth looked really confused. "Percy would never hurt any camper let alone his own sister."

Chiron puzzled over the information. "The curse must have begun. We have to find him before some worse happens."

I knew what this meant. "I need to go. He's my twin and my responsibility to save him from our curse."

Annabeth spoke up too. "I have to go too."

"No. Annabeth he can't focus when you're with me and you're too driven by your feelings for him. Every time you are mentioned he goes berserk and attacks. You can't come." I told her.

She started to argue when Chiron spoke up. "She's right. It's her quest."

Annabeth looked broken and upset as she excused herself from the room.

"Annabeth…" She turned and looked at me. "I'll bring him back I promise or I'll die trying" She nodded and walked out.

"You may take two campers with you. Meet here day after tomorrow." I nodded my understanding and Chiron left.

I spent the rest of the day thinking, sleeping, watching the other campers enter and leave, and being bored out of my skull. I mean, would it kill anyone to visit me or invest in a television?

The next morning I was released from the infirmary.

As I was walking to my cabin, James ran up to me.

"Hey! Are you feeling better?" He said.

"Yea, but you'd know that if you had bothered to visit me at least once."

He scratched the back of his head. "I tried but, Will was blocking everyone that tried to see you. He said you needed rest. That dude is crazy when it comes to doctor's orders." I nodded, laughing. I must've him heard him say the phrase a million times and watched him threaten a camper with making him speak in couplets if he didn't obey. That kid might be younger than me but he was scary when he's in doctor mode.

We walked and talked together until we reached my cabin.

I sighed. "Hey, the camp will find him. I'm sure they've got a team going out to look for him." He told me, sensing that I was upset.

I looked at him and said "Yeah, they do. Chiron chose me to go. Do you want to join me?"

He looked like he was about to shoot in the sky like a rocket with excitement. "Of course, I'll come with you!"

"It'll be dangerous, you know."

He blushed at his overexcitement. "Yeah, I know. So who else are you bringing?"

I paused, I hadn't really thought about a third person. I know I'll need someone who's really smart to balance our fighting skills. I knew I couldn't bring Annabeth. I didn't really know many of the Athena kids either and the ones I did know were stuck up snobs. Then it hit me. Thomas! The satyr rarely left the camp library. I went there all the time on weekends to read up on mythology and things. We talked frequently and was really smart.

"I think if we can drag him from his books, Thomas would be the right choice." James nodded.

"He's a bookworm but he probably knows a lot more about this world then we do, since we are still somewhat new." He agreed.

"I should probably go ask him. I'll do it after lunch." My head felt a little dizzy.

I said goodbye to James and told him he should pack for the quest and that we leave tomorrow morning. I walked into the cabin and flopped onto the bed. Within seconds, I was sound asleep which was weird due to all the sleep I got in the infirmary.

It was not a restful sleep to say the least. Soon after I fell asleep I started to hear a familiar voice. It took me a minute to recognize it as Percy's voice because it was saying such terrible things about me.

Don't trust her. She'll steal Annabeth away. She'll hurt you. She'll hurt Annabeth. Kill Her. Kill Her. She's a liar. She's not your sister. She's an accident. She wasn't supposed to be born. Fix the mistake! Kill Her.

Soon Percy came into focus. He was hard to see due to a green cloud covering him. After I got through the cloud I could see that he was walking in a dark tunnel with a torch in his hand. He was screaming at the voices. "No! She's family. She'd never hurt me or Annabeth. Stop it! No!"

The voice in his head kept talking. You barely know her. Don't trust her lies of family bonds and friendship.

I tried to scream at him to come home so we could help him but my words couldn't reach him.

The voice started to chant Kill Her! Kill Her! Kill Her!

He kept shaking his head and telling the voice in his head to shut up until he couldn't take it anymore. The voice was driving him mad, eating at him until there's nothing left.

I woke up shaking. I couldn't help but think that was a vision of what's happening to Percy. I got up from the bed more determined than ever to save him.

I walked to lunch and sat down at my table joined by James who munched on his food happily next to me as I planned out the quest that was to come.

After lunch, I went to the Big House and walked into chaos.

There were many campers sitting and standing in the hall and outside the meeting room. I could hear them whispering about Percy and how he's disappeared, all staring at me.

Some believed it was my fault, that I somehow drove him crazy.

I knew Chiron had called a meeting of the head counselors to explain the situation and so nobody would panic about our star hero going crazy and running away.

I walked passed them and into the library. Thomas was sitting in his usual spot surrounded by more books than I've ever seen him with.

"Hey, Thomas." I said gently.

It took a few seconds to look anyway from whatever he was reading.

"Hey, Icara. I haven't finished this week's book so, don't spoil it." He informed me. He was talking about our weekly book club book.

"I'm not here about the book. Haven't you heard the news?" He looked at me confused.

"That Ares was caught up in one of Hephaestus' spider webs again and Aphrodite is angry at her husband for it again?" I had no idea what he was talking about.

"No… That my brother ran away a few days ago." He looked shocked. I informed him of the events that took place and asked him if he'd help me.

"What? You want me to come with you on a quest?" I nodded. "But I can't fight very well. I'm pretty useless."

"True, but you have more knowledge about this world than me and James. Your smarts will come in handy and I don't trust anyone else with my life other you, James, and Percy." Even if Percy tried to kill me three times now, I still trusted him with my life. He is family.

He thought for a moment and finally said "Fine… I'll join your quest."

"Ok. Meet out front tomorrow morning, be ready to go." He nodded and went back to reading.

I sighed and left.

I went back to the cabin and packed for tomorrow and rested up. Unfortunately, I continued to hear the horrible voice that sounded like Percy as I slept but I couldn't see Percy anymore beyond the green mist.
