K so I figured I might as well write this one now seeing as I have nothing to do. Its either this or clean. But im not joking when I say that this might be the last chapter I can write. Im having trouble and obviously not that many people are reading but for those who are thank you for the reviews I re-read them all whenever I feel like im going no where :) thanks!
Luke didn't seem to listen, "That doesn't matter to me. Though it should matter to you. Each day one of your friends" he spat out, "don't come, you'll receive another cut, like the one on your arm. Maybe this will show you that the Gods, Chiron, and people you thought of as friends, don't care about you." he finished with a smirk.
Ok I know im Annabeth the so I don't cry over things but that cut really hurt. I don't know how many of those I can take. Perce better come soon.

Leaving camp was the easy thing. Figuring out where to go . . .not so much.
"We should head back to Luke's old cabin out in the woods. How much you want to bet they weren't smart enough to leave it?"
"No way! They aren't THAT dumb! They would've left! They know we would come back for Annabeth!" Isn't my company wonderful?
"Guys. . . " I tried to get there attention.
"Listen Death-boy, I know Luke more than you and I say we go back!" Obviously it didn't work.
"Too bad sky-girl! Your wrong! We sho-"
"GUYS!" I screamed. "Enough with the fighting! We won't be any help to Annabeth if you guys kill each other first!" they just kept glaring at each other. In ready to kill these two and we hardly started the quest!
"Fine! Kelp for brains! What do you suggest we do?" Thalia asked. I don't know if she actually cared or if she just wanted me to make a fool of myself but I answered her anyway.
"I think we should head back to Luke's cabin, if Annabeth and him are there, great! If not, we can find somewhere else to look, but I feel like we should start where we KNOW she was." I said feeling pretty proud of myself. If you ask me, that was a smart, well thought out plan. Wise Girl would be proud.
Thalia looked happy that I was agreeing with her, while Nico just grumbled a "what ever" and we left.
Now, I thought going to Connecticut the first time was boring, but the second? It was pure torture! Nico and Thalia like to fight. A lot. Seriously every time one of them started talking it would turn into a scream match! I've already had to pull over four times! And thats where we are now! I stopped the van to break up yet another fight! Thalia decided to scare Nico with a lighting bolt! Too bad it didn't hit him.
"OWWW! THALIA! THAT HURT!" I screamed. I know I've been hit with one before, but that didn't mean I wanted her to hit me with another!
"Sorry Percy! I wasn't aiming for you I swear!" Nico apparently thought this was hilarious because all he was doing since I was hit was laughing his ass off in the backseat. Glaring at him and looking at the pissed off Thals I know I had to let her do it.
Thalia looked at me pleadingly and so I just said "Go ahead." she gave me a giant smirk and next thing I know Nico is screaming in pain and smells like burnt toast.
"YOUR DEAD PINECONE FACE!" Hey! That was my nickname! Wait. I can't let these two fight. We probably already attracted half the monsters around us with all of Thalia's lightning.
"Guys give it a rest and get some sleep. We need to be at the cabin by sundown tomorrow if we want to get Annabeth. Until then, please try not to damage each other too much." I said hoping they would take my advice.
"We'll see" Nico said not looking too happy.
" No promises." Thalia grumbled. Of course! Family love!
So now Im sitting here alone in the silence. Thalia and Nico have been asleep for a while so now im stuck with my thoughts. Having ADHD at a time like this really sucks. Every time something new and interesting passes the road I get distracted. Like the five dracaenaes about to slam into the car.
Wait a minute.
CRASH!
O shit. Were in trouble.
"WHATS GOING ON!" O looks like Nicos awake!
"What in Hades did you do Seaweed Brain!" And theres Thalia.
"Less talk more fighting come on lets go! There are five of them!" I screamed. After getting over the shock of the crash, Nico and Thalia realized what was happening and jumped into action. It was five against three but, it was five against kids of the BIG three. We had the elements on our side. I saw Nico raising two skeletons to help while Thals was striking down some serious lightning bolts at anything that came close to her. Me? I was standing here like the Seaweed Brain I am, until of course, one of them charged at me.
"A son of Poseidon! And the child of the prophecy too! Your going to be the catch of the day! She said right before she attacked. I just jumped out of the way before she clawed my head off
"Ya creative. Use a fisherman saying at a son of Poseidon!" I yelled back coming at her with a counter attack. No matter what I through at her, she knew what was coming. I came at her right and she dodged, I tried to get her stomach she jumped out of the way, I noticed Nico and Thalia were having the same problem.
"Give it up boy! We know all your moves!" she screamed at me. Well if she knew my moves, I need new ones. The only problem was, I didn't know my old ones, so how was I supposed to make new ones? Oook new plan.
"RUN!" I screamed and prayed to every god out there that Nico and Thalia listened. When I was far enough away, I turned around. Thalia and Nico were right behind me but the dracaenaes were right behind them.
"Perce you better have a plan!" Thalia yelled. And honestly? No I didn't but I wasn't going to tell her that.
"Just keep moving!" maybe while we run I'll figure something out. Thankfully no one questioned me and we ran until we hit a motel. Ok a motel means people. People mean water. I can work with that.
I concentrated hard on the pipes I knew were under the house hoping that dad wouldn't let me down. Feeling the familiar tug in my gut I knew he didn't. I felt it happen before I saw it. Water breaking free from the pipes and charging right at the monsters. It looked like it was just a giant hose, but I knew the pressure would be enough to weaken them, not kill.
"THALIA! NOW!" I yelled.
"IM ON IT!" she screamed back charging straight for the dracaenaes I made sure not to let the water touch her In any way. The monsters were too disoriented to even noticed her coming up to slice then into bits. Before we knew it they were only a bunch of gold dust.
"That was too close" Nico said, when it was finally over. "I think we should stop for the night. Get some rest and get up to go early tomorrow." he suggested. As much as I didn't want to stop looking for Annabeth, I knew he was right. We didn't have much a choice anyway. It was getting dark and I have no clue where the van was. Looking at the motel, it didn't look too bad considering I just broke the pipes. Lets just hope it wasn't the plumbing.
"Good plan Nico" I agreed. "But how are we going to afford it? We left everything in the van?" I wondered out loud.
"Leave that to me boys." Thalia said with a grin while taking something out of her. . . wait bra? what does she put in there? She must of saw the shock on both mine and Nico's faces because she answered, "it's a wallet dummies! Gods! I have about two hundred dollars. That should be enough. Lets just go." she said with an eye roll. With that we walked into the motel, got a room deciding that me and Nico can share a bed and Thalia got her own, and drifted in a peaceful sleep knowing we were going to get to see my Wise Girl tomorrow. I'll make sure of it.
Their ya go! :) hope u like it! I kinda just made it up on the spot so sorry if its dumb! Review anyway!
