Chapter 10:
We stopped to eat lunch on a bench outside a spa. Suddenly, it started to rain. A beautiful woman poked her head out from inside the spa, and beckoned us to come inside. We shrugged and followed her inside, because we didn't want to get caught in the rain.
We sat on chairs in the waiting room, but the rain beating on the roof was a tiring rhythm, and I hadn't slept at all last night. I guess I must have dozed off, because I was awoken by a pretty girl with black hair, black eyes, and a very scary look on her face.
"What's the matter?" I asked. "Is the storm over?"I looked outside, but it was even worse than before; thunder and lightning were flashing and rumbling loudly. I didn't see Percy, and I started to ask where he was, but the girl cut me off.
"It's time for your makeover," she said, leading me to a room in the back. She sat me down at a table, and started to brush my hair. I wondered where Percy was. Maybe he had left? No, he wouldn't leave. I looked around the room through the mirror. The only other thing in the room was a cage of guinea pigs.
I shouted "Percy?" because there was no chance he could have been turned into a guinea pig…Right? One of the guinea pigs squeaked loudly. I tried again. "Percy?" The same guinea started frantically trying to escape its' cage. Oh no, I thought. That can't be Percy.
Just as I was about to start helping the guinea pig, Percy rushed into the room. "Annabeth?" he called. Thank God, he's not a guinea pig, I yelled mentally. Outside, I just ran over to him and hugged him. "I'm glad you're not a guinea pig," I mumbled as I squeezed him gratefully.
Once I released him, he was really confused. "Um, guinea pig? What…?" I just smiled. "Come on, we should go save Grover!" I said, ignoring the disoriented look on his face. I liked messing with him like this. I should do it more often.
We continued walking to the abandoned amusement park. Since the storm had stopped, it was only drizzling, which actually felt really refreshing. It was only then that I remembered- we hadn't eaten lunch yet. "Percy?" I asked, tapping him on the shoulder, "do you want to eat? We can eat while walking, if you want," I offered.
He shrugged, which I took as a yes. I opened the bag and took out Percy's sandwich, his cookies, and his can of soda. I ate my wrap and drank sparkling water while we walked. I looked at the phone. According to my tracking, we were very close. In fact, I could see the park in the distance.
When Percy was finished eating, we climbed up the locked and barred gates of the amusement park. I could see lights in the distance, and there was sound coming from there. Percy seemed to notice it too, and we came to a silent agreement.
I snuck over to where the light was coming from, but I didn't see the looming shadow behind me until it was too late. I felt a knock on my head and everything went black.
