I was running along the beach now, so my super speed was running out. I spotted Percy's cabin. In front of it stood Annabeth, looking around for Percy and me most likely.

"Annabeth!" I yelled.

She turned with a jolt and looked at me wide-eyed. "Theo, where have you been? I've been looking for you and, oh my gods Percy!" She yelled, noticing him on my back.

"What happened to him!?" She asked, looking at his face.

"No time, where's Chiron!?" I asked frantically.

"He's at the big house come on!" She yelled.

I used what bit of strength I had left and hoisted Percy back up on my back. Wow all the blue food this kid ate sure weighed him down. I wouldn't be surprised if his blood had blue food coloring in it. When we finally reached the big house, we rushed in, not even bothering to knock. Chiron came clonking into the room in horse form.

"Theo, Annabeth, where is-. Gods of Olympus what happened to Percy!?" he asked us as I was setting him down on the couch.

After I set him down Chiron went straight to work. As I started to explain the story.

"It was Luke! He led me and Percy into the woods and set two pit scorpions on us! I killed the one on me, but Percy got stung! Luke was the lightning thief, he stole the bolt from Olympus! He wanted to get it to Hades, so a war of the gods could start, and while the gods were distracted he could raise Kronos!" I explained loudly.

Chiron froze at the mention of Kronos. I saw Annabeth tense straight away. The whole camp seemed to grow quiet for ten seconds. Chiron shook himself back to reality and turned to me.

"Theo, do not mention this to anyone yet. Also I want you and Annabeth to see if you can find Luke. Go now! Percy will be fine, I promise." He said, not bothering to make sure we listened.

He was focused on using his magic to heal Percy. Annabeth seemed too stunned to talk, but I grabbed her hand and forced her out of the building. I grabbed her shoulders and met her stormy grey eyes. It was well known in camp that Annabeth really liked Luke. While I personally thought she should be with Percy, everyone knew she liked the son of Hermes. She had told me how he and Thalia had rescued her when she was seven, and he protected her. I knew hearing about Luke's betrayal would hit her hard, I needed her to stay focused. I didn't know much about Kronos or the titans but I knew them returning would be bad. I needed Annabeth.

"Annabeth listen to me, I need you to stay focused. Alright, now don't let this get to your head. We are gonna be just fine, Percy is gonna be just fine." I told her seriously.

She took me off guard and hugged me, I could tell she was trying to hold back tears. I just hugged her, rubbing her back trying to calm her down.

"He... he couldn't have done this, Theo. Luke would never, he promised me." She said fighting the sobs.

"I wish it wasn't true Annabeth. He tried to kill Percy and me! As much as I hate to admit it he is the enemy now. He wants to overthrow Olympus because his father abandoned him." I told her recalling what he said.

Annabeth shook her head. "No, I can't believe he'd do something like this willingly. I just can't." She said.

That honestly annoyed me. I tell her Luke tried to kill Percy and me and she still defends him. I wanted to get angry but I managed to keep my cool. Also my mother told me if she ever saw me being mean to a sad person dealing with problems they just found out about, she'd feed me to Cousin Arty's wolves as a jackleope. She would have Artemis turn me into a jackleope so I couldn't talk to them.

"Listen Annabeth, I'm sorry I really am. Its just that Luke tried to kill us though, he's turned, and you didn't see the evil in his eyes. Let's just go do a sweep of the camp, and get back to Percy." I told her trying to sound reassuring.

She just shook her head. "No, I refuse to believe he's doing all this! Not willingly anyway." She said with a tinge of venom in her voice.

"Annabeth he tried to-." I started.

"Don't you even think about yelling at her, Theo!" I heard my mother's voice yell in my head.

Sometimes I regretted the mental link I agreed to share with my mom.

"I heard that young man! Now do not yell at this SAD girl, your father and I taught you better!" She scolded.

Man, growing up I had always wondered what it would be like to be scolded by my mom. Now that I actually had it, it wasn't all it was cracked up to be.

"I heard that to young man! You better wear a helmet to sleep tonight, cause I'll smack you upside the head if you yell at this sad girl." She yelled again.

"Mom, she's defending the boy who tried to kill me! The guy who is working for Kronos!" I tried arguing.

I could almost hear her sigh. "Be that as it may, Theo, you will not scream at a sad girl or boy dealing with a problem he or she just found out about." She told me.

"How did you know I was going to scream at her?" I asked trying to defend myself.

"Because I'm your mother! Also I can hear your thoughts, I swear I love you, Theo, but you're so dense sometimes." She told me.

I wasn't about to argue with my mother. I had learned in the two months we've had this link, arguing like her, is like arguing with a brick wall.

"THEO!" She yelled.

I shut her out before she got to loud. When she yelled to loud, it gave me a headache. After thinking that, I heard what sounded like a loud muffled yell in my head. Yeah, I was totally gonna get it in my dreams tonight.

Annabeth looked at me like I was going crazy. "Theo! Earth to Theo what's going on with you!?" She demanded.

I snapped back to reality and looked at her. I abandoned all my previous anger for her and just looked at her. "Just go check the left outsides of camp, I'll go right. If you see Luke, don't try to reason with him just run." I said leaving before I could get angry again.

I felt really bad for getting mad at Annabeth. The girl really had done so much for me. If it wasn't for her, I would be dead many times over. She had let me know I was a Demigod. She had taught me so much in the last two months. She really was my best-friend, behind Percy. I also couldn't blame her for thinking Luke could still be himself. She did have a point however about one thing. Luke could be being influenced. Kronos may be manipulating his thoughts.

I scanned through the cabins letting them all know what has transpired and to be watchful of Luke. I let them know that if they say him at any point during the year to contact camp straight away. I entered cabin 10, the Aphrodite cabin, and found about a dozen campers still packing. Their heads all shot up and they all smiled.

"Theo!" some of them said.

The about 8 girls left all hugged me, while I waved my hello to all the guys. After they all went back to their bags one camper stayed. Silena the head councilor of Aphrodite cabin. She two years older than me now. She had taken me on as her honorary little brother. She was beautiful, like every other Aphrodite girl.

"Ah Theo, how's your last day going? You're gonna write me this year, right?" She asked happily.

"Of course I will. I wish I came with better news though." I told her.

I told her what had happened earlier, and what Luke had done. She seemed pretty furious when I was finished. However, behind the anger, I could see another look in her eyes. It seemed like... guilt? However, she was mainly angry. An angry Aphrodite camper may not seem like an angry thing, however you would be wrong if you thought that.

"That dirty, rotten, lying son of a-! Well I'm angry I know that, but if I see Luke, I'll contact camp. You should get going, I'm sure Percy will want to see you." She said, smiling again.

After a few more goodbyes, I left. I made my way back to the big house to see Percy sitting on the couch. He was still pale, but it was better than having him dead. We spent the rest of the time we had at camp packing. Percy and I finally around noon began to make out way towards the camp van. We said goodbye to Annabeth, she hugged us both. However she seemed colder towards me. It was all fine by me, she would come around eventually.

I just couldn't believe a daughter of Athena could be so-.

"THEO! Don't you ever block me from your head again, young man!" Mom scolded in my head.

I erased all thoughts from my head, before boarding the camp van. I was not looking forward to my dream tonight.

Dream: A sea-green eyed dude wearing beach wear

Poseidon came to me, gave me two pens, green and silver & blue and gold, and said "Blue is for Percy and is named Typhoon. This will substitute for what I am going to do to Riptide. and Green is for Tyson and is named Storm. Tell them I love them."

He tapped my forehead, giving me all the info on the Pens. They are made of Mortal steel, Stygian Iron, Celestial Bronze, Atlantean Stone, Silver, Gold, Bronze, and Metal, Hydro Stone, Silver, and Gold, and Sea Stone, Silver, Gold. This is what he is going to do to Riptide

'I do it when the time is right' I said to myself.

Dream end
