Hi! Hope everyone had a happy and safe halloween! To answer someone's question, that was part of Percy's secret. He had many parts that may or may not be revealed to his companions... But by the end of the story you (the reader) will know the secrets. I have my poll up. I'm going to end the poll about the series title (on my profile) sometime in November. I'll let you know when. I'm thinking the 16th, but that's not a definite. Um... I've been super happy about something and it's all thanks to a special person at school even if they don't know! So you can thank them if the chapters lately are better than before or happier or whatever or anything! (Happiness is not completely brought down by the many many many $&!#% in my school.) I own nothing still and I hope you enjoy the chapter! :)

Annabeth's POV (oh my! Is this a different POV?!)

I know what's been wrong lately. Percy has been acting weird and I've been having the strangest feeling to ever have on a quest, especially as one as dangerous as this.

Boredom.

Before you protest saying the quest hasn't been boring, I want to say it hasn't been boring. I'm not feeling boredom from the quest, I'm feeling it towards... Percy.

I know I'm nit supposed to be feeling this way if I'm happy in my relationship. I think I'm happy, but I've been feeling this so much lately. Which only stands to make me believe... Maybe Percy and I shouldn't be together any more.

No don't you start yelling at me! This is hard on me! I've been trying to distance myself slowly after the last few days so that when I break up with him it won't hurt as much. I've thought it all out using logic. I'll distance myself slowly, so slowly he won't know what's happening. I mean, I call him Seaweed Brain for a reason. He won't figure out what I'm doing, then when I break up with him, it won't be as bad because I'll already have distanced myself! I'll do it when this quest is over. That way we won't have any distractions.

As I also said, Percy's been acting really weird lately. First, the scar he got over his eye in a fight with Atlas turning red. It's almost like the scar was reopened and then someone tried to heal it in one night. Its not unlikely. Percy might've tried to heal it with water so we wouldn't notice it. That's not an impossible theory.

Secondly, Percy was giving me the cold shoulder lately, like I killed his puppy. What's up with that?! I've been helping him and watching over him and all I get is the cold shoulder?! How is that fair? He hasn't said more than a few sentences to me since the train! Does he know what I'm planning?! No that's silly. He's too much of a Seaweed Brain to know! Right?

Finally, what's up with the visiting of the goddess woman? So far I think she's some form of harpy, since I found a feather on the ground while I was checking the scene to see what happened to Percy while we were gone. But there's several harpies it could've been, and there's still the question of why he passed out. This whole quest seems like a big mystery.

Now before I'm done, I have two more things to discuss. The first ong the two is the fact about where we're staying for now. The place Percy woke up in. You know, the junkyard? I believe he told you about it already. Yeah, it wasn't my fault we stopped there! He never told me that part; no one had! And we couldn't go on any longer! Thalia was getting beat up by Percy's flailing unconscious body and Nico was trying to help carry his heaviest cousin. And not heavy as in fat, heavy as in he has so much muscle its so hard to carry him. That kind of heavy. And if I never knew about Bianca and the junkyard, how am I supposed to know to stay away from junkyards if they're so bad for the three living people I had with me?

You don't believe me when I say I didn't know? Well I didnt. I was busy holding up the sky. Whenever I asked someone, they'd say to ask Percy. I'd ask percy and he'd just say that she died and hero, trying to save the quest members' lives. Then he'd look into the distance and not move for a long long time. Eventually, people stopped asking. But that doesn't mean I ever found out. He stayed quiet and even the other people on the quest weren't right in front of the automatron and couldn't replay exact details. It's honestly not my fault if we're pointing fingers.

My last point is Percy's secret. Don't misunderstand, I do believe it's the truth. I just don't think that's all. There's something else. He just didn't say it. I don't know what else he has to say, since the Percy I knEw hardly ever kept secrets. I doubt the other secret he had was too bad. But curiousity killed the cat for a reason.

Percy Jackson has a secret. And I'm going to find out if it's the last thing i do...
