IM BACK :) hope u like it!

All of a sudden I hear a voice. "WAKE UP SEAWEED BRAIN! I don't know how much time I have before he comes and checks on me!"

And that's all I need. I can feel my eyes opening to see the most beautiful thing in the world.

My Wise girl.

Finally.

PercyPOV

Looking at Annabeth was the only thing that's made me smile since she left. She looked just like she did in my dream. Beautiful. We just stared at each other for what seemed like hours when finally she spoke.

"We need to talk, Luke's going to come and check on me in a few minutes. I had to convince Ethan that h-" but I cut her off before she could even finish her sentence.

"Flirting Wise Girl? Really?" I said with a smirk, that only grew when I saw her blush.

"You were watching?" she asked shocked I just nodded. "You weren't supposed to have seen that. Since you did I guess you realize what we need to talk about?" she said. She looked like she was going to tell me more but I needed to know.

"Ya. How in Hades are we getting you out of there?" please have a plan. PLEASE have a plan.

"Simple." she said YES! "We don't" WHAT?

"What do you mean we DON'T? Did you NOT just see what happened with Luke? He almost hurt you! He doesn't seem to care too much anymore Annabeth. You can't just stay there!" was she crazy? She needs to get out of there as soon as possible.

"Listen Seaweed Brain, he said that it was a trap! If you come here we're all in trouble!" And I know she's right. Isn't she always? I just don't care. She's in trouble and im going to help her. I guess she could tell I wasn't going to listen to her because she said, "Before you do anything talk to Chiron, see what he has to say." Fair enough.

"I'll talk to Chiron after WE talk," remembering something "who's your boyfriend? Its Will isn't it?"

She looked like she was surprised that I would bring that up. She probably was but I still want to know. "Percy, we're in the middle of a disaster and that's what you want to talk about? Gods! Are you slow? That doesn't matter right now, what does is that theirs a war coming up and im on the wrong side! Tell Malcolm he's the main strategist for now he's smart he know what to do."

She made it sound like she was giving up. That wasn't going to happen. We NEED Annabeth for this war, without her we wouldn't last that long. She made the plans and was probably the best knife fighter we've had in a long time. "Wise Girl you'll be back before the war, trust me. I'll figure something out."

Ok now Annabeth just looked annoyed. "NO Percy! You can't come he-" but she was cut off when the door of the bathroom was thrown open. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

Luke.

That was the first time Annabeth actually looked scared of Luke. I would be too, Luke looked livid. That just made me want to go to her faster. If Luke hurts her. . .

"Percy! Remember what I said! See you soon!" she said as she cleared the IM before I could see what was going to happen.

Shit.

She's there alone with Luke. All I could do was sit their on my bed and stare at where Annabeth once was. She's smart, she's be fine. She's a good fighter and she still has her knife. She can handle herself, its just one of the thinks I love about her. I would've sat there all day if someone didn't knock on my door.

"Percy! Open up! Chiron told me to come get you! We have a council meeting in five minutes!" it was Nico. I haven't seen him since last summer. Did anyone even tell him what the meetings about? "Come on Perce! Im coming in if you don't answer the door in like five seconds!" it was then I realized I STILL didn't move from my bed.

Finally I got up and opened the door for my cousin. As soon as I did he came running into my cabin like he was on fire. "So what's this meeting about? Everyone's been depressed since I got here this morning?" I guess he finally got to look at me after he finished getting settled back on my bed because he finished talking by saying "Wow Percy you look like a mess! What's going on?"

Looking at Nico he looked older, more mature than last year, but I knew he was still 13 and Annabeth was like a sister to him ever since Bianca so he won't take the news of her leaving so well. The longer I stayed silent the more worried Nico got, "Come on Perce, just tell me what's going on?" he yelled.

"Ok calm down I'll tell you." and so I told him the whole story of how Annabeth got stuck with Luke. Every few minutes he would flinch or look make a fist with his hands. The only thing I didn't tell him yet was that me and Annabeth just talked. When I finally finished telling the story it was time to go to the meeting anyway. The walk their was eerily quiet. He didn't seem to know what to say. Every few minutes he would open his mouth like he was going to say something, and then just close it. Finally when we got to the Big House before we could get inside he pulled me aside.

"Listen Percy, if this meetings about what we're going to do now that Annabeth's gone, im not going to listen. Knowing Chiron he won't let us have the quest, but you and I both know that's not going to stop you, and I want in." he said it with so much determination in his eyes I couldn't refuse. Him and Annabeth were really close nowadays so him wanting to join me in a search and rescue for her wasn't surprising.

He was looking at me, daring me to say no. "Fine."I said and he looked relieved. "You can come. Meet me by the lake and we'll talk about what to do."

"Great when are we all meeting up?" We heard from behind us. Nico and I looked panicked at the thought of being caught before we turned around and saw our other favorite cousin.

Thalia. "How do you ALWAYS seem to show up at the exact wrong time? Its starting to creep me out." I asked her, cause I mean come on? That has to be the third time she snuck up on me!

She just smirked at me though. "It's a gift. But that's not what were talking about right now. You guys are talking about getting Annabeth out of that hell hole. And I want in."

Once again, im not surprised. Her and Annabeth are best friends, practically sisters. Her wanting to come save Annabeth was obvious. The problem is that now we have three half-bloods of the big three.

Crap. Were going to die.

Couldn't Annabeth been friends with a nice daughter of Demeter? Or a son of Hecate? That way maybe we would have a chance of staying under the radar. But of course not! She has to be friends with us! With all three of us we'll be lucky of we only attract twenty monsters.

Still, I told Thalia, "After the meeting go to the beach, we'll talk more their." she looked excited. Did she honestly think I was going to tell her no?

Just then, Selina came outside, "Guys! What's going on? Chiron told me to come get you. Were starting to meeting, you can plan your escape later." she said with a smirk.

Was it that obvious?

"Of course it is. You love Annabeth so your obviously going to save her." crap, did I say that out loud? I think I did.

"Come on guys lets just get inside." Nico said. Me, Thalia, and Nico all walked in silence.

"Now that everyone's here." he paused to look at us. "We need to go further on the discussion of Annabeth." He winced. "Now, Percy, is there anything you would like to add to the story you told us yesterday?" he looked at me knowingly. I guess that's my cue.

"Umm . . actually ya." That caught everyone attention. "Annabeth IM'ed me this morning." I said kind of awkwardly.

"AND YOU DIDN'T TELL US?" Nico said referring to him and Thalia. He looked mad. You don't want a son of Hades mad.

"I was waiting until now." I defended myself. I know I could take Nico easily even with his freaky Hades powers.

"Calm down boys. Now Percy, what did she say?" Did I want to tell Chiron what Annabeth said? If I did he would tell me I couldn't go on the quest, but I told Annabeth I would. I have to tell him now, plus im going wether he tells me to or not.

"She said that it's a trap. They think I'll come to get her and that they can just capture me."

Chiron thought about it for a while, "Well then, im sorry Percy but, I don't think its wise that you go on this quest. I believe we should send someone new. Someone who the titan army would not expect."

Then everyone started talking at once.

"What about Travis and Connor?" Michael asked. "Luke wouldn't expect them."

"We aren't going! I never want to see Luke again. Send Lee! He's good with a sword." Travis answered for both of them.

"No way! Im not ready for a quest! What about Will? He's a quick thinker and a good fighter."

"NO!" I said without thinking. Annabeth never said Will wasn't her boyfriend. Im not letting him play hero and get me girl. Now everyone was quiet again, staring at me wondering why I said that. ". . . He's our main healer, if something went wrong, we would be screwed for the war." I said blushing. Most people believed my excuse, but I saw Selina give me a smirk from across the room. Stupid daughter of Aphrodite.

"Heros! This quest will be dangerous. We need someone smart quick and good with a sword." in other words, we need Annabeth. "I nominate Charles Beckendorf." Selina looked like she was about to cry .but Bechendorf looked proud.

He gave Chiron a sad smile and said "I accept. I'll do whatever I can to make sure Annabeth comes home."

Chiron looked worried still, almost like he wasn't sure it was the best decision. "Very well child, go consult with the oracle Charles. May the Gods be with you." Chiron said. "This meeting is adjourned. You may leave." Everyone started getting up by now. "Percy? Could you stay? I think we need to talk." he said.

Uh-oh

Once everyone was gone I asked, "What's up Chiron?" trying not to look too suspicious.

"I know what your planning Perseus." shit. "And im not going to tell you to stay." what?

I looked at Chiron like he had five heads. "Why not Chiron? Annabeth said that you would think it was too dangerous." I agreed with Annabeth too. It IS dangerous, but Chiron doesn't mind?

"I believe Annabeth is correct. But I also know that Charles, as good a fighter as he is, doesn't have as good a chance against Luke as you. We need Annabeth back before this war starts. I believe Charles could make it to Annabeth safely, but only you could make it against Luke. So go. Consult with Thalia and Nico and leave. You have my permission." he finished.

Wow. That was a lot easier than I thought it would be.

There ya go! :) finals are over! Summer is here! And this chapter took forever to write so I better get some reviews! I hope u guys like it but I need some help!
