Annabeth glanced around, confused by all the gray.

She was obviously in a dream, but even dreams weren't this confusing, especially if they were supposed to mean something, considering she was a demigod. But all this gray just wasn't natural! There was no where that she - or anyone else - could be in this huge area of gray!

Annabeth mused over it. Maybe it wasn't a physical place. Maybe it was more of a mental place. But did the gray really stand for Athena this time? Or did it represent the blandness that's been in her life lately?

Ever since she learned about Luke (three and a half years ago), she just wasn't the same as she was before. Sure, she still had a sense of humor and loved to joke around with her friends (Percy more than anyone), she still liked to be by herself and work a lot more than she used to.

When Annabeth was chosen for the Labyrinth quest, she wasn't quite as confident in herself. And when she learned that someone was destined to die - or so she thought - she was so confused. She learned more about herself; that she loved Luke, but she also loved Percy.

The more she thought about it, the more the gray seemed to evaporate, turning everything more of a green, and then the same color as the sea.

She knew who she loved, and who she would do anything for.

"Annabeth! Annabeth!" she heard her siblings call.

She opened her eyes slowly and saw three of her siblings, one being Malcom.

"The war is starting and Percy's on his way back from the ship," he informed her.

She nodded and sat up, feeling a pang of joy spring into her chest as she heard that he was alright and that he was coming back to camp. She smiled and knew that her dream definitely right.

Yeah, okay, the ending was horrible ha-ha. I would love some reviews, and I'm saddened to say that I did NOT get all the drabbles done by the end of summer, but I will continue :D

Review! :D
