I'm sorry I haven't updated for such a long time. My family in Australia came over for a few weeks. I don't see them very often so I tried to spend as much time with them as possible. I'm sorry to anyone who thought that I had given up on this story. I haven't. Now, another chapter.
Annabeth POV
I was just walking back to my cabin when I heard Ahsoka scream. "Percy!" she shouted.
I looked over in time to see Percy disappear. The next second Ahsoka broke the ropes holding her and sprinted off to her cabin.
"Ahsoka, wait!" I yelled after her, but she didn't hear me.
I knocked on her door. No response.
"Ahsoka?" I called.
"What do you want?" she snapped at me. "If you came to kick me out, wait a second. I'm packing."
"Ahsoka, it's me, Annabeth," I pleaded.
"Oh, sorry Annabeth," she stuck her head out the door.
"Can I come in?" I asked quietly.
"Sure." Ahsoka opened the door quickly and I slipped in.
"You have to help me find Percy," I whispered as soon as the door was shut.
"I agree," Ahsoka said, "but I can't stay in camp. Clarisse has made it pretty clear that I'm leaving, even if she has to drag me out."
"Not necessarily, remember, Athena always has a plan."
I could tell that she was about to protest, so instead I shouted loud enough for anyone right outside to hear, "Pack your stuff, you're leaving now!"
She looked at me questioningly. "Just play along," I whispered back.
I must say, my plan went quite well from there.
Quickly I snuck back too my cabin and grabbed my Yankees cap. I was ready. I ran back to Ahsoka's cabin. She was just finishing packing.
"Sorry about this," I muttered. I grabbed her wrist and dragged her out of the cabin.
On the way out I bumped into Clarisse.
"What are you doing with Ahsoka?" she questioned me.
"I'm escorting her out of camp," I respond coolly.
"Good," she sneered back. "The sooner we're rid of this filth, the better." She gave Ahsoka a shoved and stalked off. As soon as she was gone we ran off to the big house. I had to let Chiron know what I was doing.
"I suppose you've heard that Ahsoka has been banished," I said casually, it was fairly common knowledge.
"Yes, I have," Chiron sighed.
"Well I'm escorting her out of camp," I said. But I winked at him afterwards, and he winked back, so I knew he understood.
I pulled her past the boundaries and down Half-Blood hill. As soon as we were out of sight of the camp I stopped.
"So," Ahsoka asked, "what's your plan?"
I pulled out my hat. "This."
"What's so special about a hat?" Ahsoka asked.
Instead of answering her, I put it on.
She gasped. "So that's how I'm going to-,"
I nodded, laughing at the look on her face. Then I realized that she couldn't see me.
"Yes," I said.
"Cool," she said cheerfully. "I always wanted to be invisible."
I smiled and handed her the hat. "Now make sure you don't accidentally take it off." I warned her.
"You can stay in your cabin," I told her. "I'm not sure what to do about meals, but you could talk to Chiron. I might not be able to talk to you during the day, so just do whatever."
"Got it," the air in front of me answered, so I assumed that was where Ahsoka was standing.
Then I turned and walked back to camp, hoping that Ahsoka was following me.
The next few days passed rather uneventfully. At meal times, Ahsoka stood at the end of my table and I tried to sit at the end as much as possible. One day I was stuck in the middle and she had to sit under the table, much to her discomfort. She complained loudly about it for ten minutes afterwards before I told her to shut up before someone heard her.
A few days later Chiron called me to the big house.
"Hera has given me a clue to finding Percy," he said.
"What did she say?" I asked grimacing. It just had to be Hera.
"She said to go look around the Grand Canyon for someone with only one shoe. He would know where Percy is."
"That's great," I said sarcastically. "When do I leave?"
"Actually, I was hoping that you would take Ahsoka. You could leave after that and look for Percy."
I ran off to the Apollo cabin and borrowed a chariot. Then I went to the Pegasi stable to borrow a Pegasus or two.
I had finished harnessing the Pegasi and was just about to go find Ahsoka when Butch showed up.
"There's a storm brewing over the Grand Canyon," he announced. "You'll need me."
I sighed. "Actually I'm fine. I'll go alone."
This argument lasted a few minutes, before I sighed in resignation.
"Fine, you can come."
When we got back I had three new Half-Bloods with me. Leo, Piper and Jason. Leo was claimed almost immediately as Son of Hephaestus. At the campfire I whispered my plan to Ahsoka. We would leave tomorrow. The camp fire ended with Piper's claiming as Daughter of Aphrodite. If you've ever seen one, you would know that it's no small occasion. As I walked away, I saw Piper desperately trying to minimize her beauty transformation, and failing miserably.
I walked away laughing quietly to myself and collided with an invisible wall and fell over. "What is it Ahsoka?" I asked annoyed.
"You were walking slowly so I stopped to wait for you," she answered innocently.
"Why were you waiting for me?" I asked suspiciously. She had used her 'I'm up to something' tone of voice. She probably also had a look to go with it, but since she was invisible, I couldn't see her face.
"Chiron wants us."
"In the middle of the night?" I practically screeched.
"Yes. He has to tell Anakin and Obi-Wan as well. This has to be secret."
"Okay," I said.
She turned and ran off to go find the other Jedi. At least, I think she did. Once again, I wasn't sure.
A/N: Read and Review! I'm happy to answer any questions you have! I'm going to be away on vacation for the next two weeks then camp afterwards. I may update but most likely not. I will probably not update till after school has started.
