Chapter 9

Percy's POV

Chiron told me to go and get some rest and we would start our proper search for Annabeth in the morning, but I wanted to be out there searching right now. I tried to protest with Chiron but he stood his ground firmly, and told me again to go and get some sleep.

That night I had a dream that I was under water in the middle of the ocean I think, and all these mer-people kept swimming past so I decided to follow them. I came to this huge cliff and at the bottom was a palace made completely out of the coral. I couldn't believe my eyes. Then I felt a hand on my shoulder and I turned around and saw my father.

"beautiful, isn't it" he simply said without taking his eyes of the palace

"uh . . . yeah it is but why am I here dad?" I asked

"you are here because I heard that you friend Annabeth the daughter of Athena was taking kidnap by her boyfriend" he said

"her ex-boyfriend" I corrected " yeah but that still doesn't explain why I am here, I should be out searching for her"

"son, you know about my long going argument with Athena and that includes her children"

"so you're saying that I should stop searching for Annabeth" I said

"I am saying that you should chase your dreams Perseus, and not people"

"but she is my dream father and I must find and I don't care about you petty argument with Athena I must find her" I told him coldly

"but why must you find her Perseus"

"because I love her dad, anymore stupid questions!" this time I really was beginning to shout and the floor rumbled a bit beneath my feet

"Okay, okay son calm down find this girl if you really do love her" I caught a bit when he said love her like me loving an Athena child was disgusting

"thank you father" I said and with that the dream shifted

And I was standing in a bright yellow room with a skylight which the sun shone right through and made it even brighter

"hello" I said

"hey young Perseus" a man with blonde hair and a tattoo of the sun on his right arm

"y . . .you're Apollo god of the sun" I stammered I had never met Apollo before cool

"you bet I am Perseus and I have a haiku for you" he told me

"you can just call me Percy" I told him

"alright Percy here is your haiku" he said then cleared his throat

"an easy life but such a bore, or take a risk for something more" he told me

"do you understand what you need to do young Percy?"

"yes I do, I must take the risk and battle Caleb for Annabeth's safety" when I said that the door burst open and two woman burst in. one of them was Athena and I think the other is Aphrodite then Apollo said "that's my que to get out of here, catch ya later Percy"

"Perseus Jackson, do you love my daughter?" Athena asked angrily

"I do not just love your daughter lady Athena, I am in love with her" I told her

"Perseus listen to me" Aphrodite told me "you have two arms, two legs, two eyes, two ears but only one heart why" she asked

"why?" I asked

"because we are destined to find the other and you have found the other which is Annabeth so don't listen to anybody who tries to stop you and go get her back!" she proclaimed

"I will but I don't know where to start looking" I told them

"oh but you will in due time young demigod, in due time"

"listen here Perseus if you ever hurt my daughter like that scum bag did I will personally through you into the depths of Tartarus!" Athena yelled at me

"sister, the love for your daughter is strong in this child. I can sense it in him that he will never lay a hand on your daughter so don't worry"

With that the disappeared and I woke up in my cabin.

I woke up and got dressed and ran to the big house to get Chiron.

"Chiron where will we find her you've got to know you said you would know"

"I'm sorry Percy but we have had no luck with tracking Annabeth"

"but you have to know you said you would know by now" I yelled

"Percy, Percy calm down we will find her. Why don't you go and train with Nico he has came today" he told me

"I can't just stop searching"

"but you aren't I will continue to search while you train"

"fine" I huffed

I made me way down to Nico at the hades cabin and then we headed up to the arena to start practicing. We were talking while practicing

"hey Perce" clang "any news about Annie" swoosh "no not yet" bang

I remember the day me and Annabeth first met . . . sure it was only like couple of weeks ago but as soon as I met her I knew I liked her and as we talked more and hung out those feeling became stronger and I love her.

I realised I was lost in my thoughts but by the time I realised it was too late and I felt the flat side of Nico's sword hit of my head and everything went black . . .
