Chapter 7 - The Missing Mortal
Annabeth P.O.V
It had been a few days since Percy, Nico and Hazel had left on their quest and to be honest, I was worried sick. I spent the last couple of days trying to figure out the prophecy. All I know for certain is someone will die (according to the prophecy). The last lines of the prophecy repeated over and over in my head.
Elysium one shall go
For bravery against the foe
I didn't want any of them to die! But the Fates have shown their cruelty towards us demigods, so anything was possible. I was in my cabin trying to figure out what the prophecy meant, when suddenly Will burst through the door. "Annabeth," he wheezed, "Felix… missing… mortal is gone!" "What?" I asked, unsure of what he had said, "The mortal friend of Percy, Felix, is missing. I went to check on him after Percy had left for the quest, but he wasn't in his room." I stared at Will incredulously, "Percy left on the quest two days ago Will! Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Will suddenly turned red and looked down at his feet and mumbled something about being scared of being turned into diced flesh. I rolled my eyes and went to tell Chiron about the situation.
I stepped outside and looked around camp, all the campers looked anxious for some reason. As I was walking to the big house, campers came up to me and asked if Gods where going to reveal themselves to the mortal world. I was horrified. Why would they think the gods would ever do something like that! And if they did, the mortals would never believe them and the mortal police would come searching for us demigods and life would be even harder than it already is. I couldn't let that happen.
When I finally got to the big house, I was greeted by Chiron. "Annabeth!" he said, "come in, I need to discus some matters with you." I followed him into his office and sat down in one of the chairs. "So, Annabeth, as you should know by now the gods may reveal themselves to the mortals" I shook my head in disbelief. "And I suspect you came here to tell me about another situation." I nodded, "Yes, it's about the mortal, Felix, Percy's friend. He disappeared the day Percy left for the quest." Chiron smiled, "I am aware of this child, I saw him leave the infirmary and get on top of the van that Hazel, Nico and Percy were in." I stared at him incredulously, "And you didn't stop him? He is a mortal and is now out in the world alone who knows where." Chiron looked at me and calmly said, "I think he may be a part to the succession of this quest."
I glared at him, "A mortal?! Save the mist?! I don't think so." Chiron looked at me and said, "Rachel was just a mortal in the Labyrinth, was she not?" "I guess," I said, "but what about the gods? Will they really reveal themselves?" Chiron sighed, "I fear they will child, for the meantime, continue your day and I will call for you if I have any news on the situation." I sighed and walked back to my cabin. I decided to try and IM Percy for the 4th time that week. I walked over to one of the windows and saw a rainbow waving on the curtain, I threw in a drachma and said, "Oh Iris, Goddess of the Rainbow, show me Percy Jackson." The drachma disappeared and showed a tired, yet alive Percy Jackson.
"Percy!" I exclaimed. He turned around and grinned at me, "Wise girl!" I grinned back at him, "Is Felix there with you?" Percy's expression turned confused and shook his head, "why would you think he was with us wise girl? He's at camp, right?" I tensed, "yeah about that… Chiron said he saw him riding on the roof of the van when you guys left." Percy turned serious and said, "Chiron didn't stop him?" I shook my head, "He said he had an important role in the quest." Percy sighed, "Well I guess I'll be seeing him soon." "Yeah," I replied, "How's the quest going?" Percy's face darkened at my words, "All on track," he said, "but I had to relive Tartarus" I stared at him, "You went into Tartarus?" He looked at me with broken eyes, "I'll tell you more when we get back." I nodded, "Seeweed brain?" I asked, "yeah? He replied, "I love you," he cocked his head to the side and said, "I love you too, Annabeth Chase." I smiled at him and then asked, "Where's Hazel and Nico?" "Hazel is talking with Hecate and Nico is here," Percy turned around and brought me face to face with Nico di Angelo. "Nico!" I exclaimed, "how are you?" "Fine" was all he said. In the distance I heard the bell and campers heading to the mess hall, "Hey, I got to go," I said, "Love you, see ya!" smiled Percy, "Love you, stay safe, don't die." I replied. Percy smirked at me, "I'll try but you know me," I rolled my eyes. Nico waved goodbye to me and I swiped my hand through the IM. I left my cabin and walked to the mess hall for dinner.
