Annabeth's Pov ~

Everything was fine, until that witch- Lady Hera. Took Percy away from me. That night on December 14th, me and Percy were talking like usual and then I went to get something for him, something I got. No special reason why I got him a gift, I just felt like it. Anyway. When I got back, he was gone, no trace of him ever leaving camp, or even going to his cabin. Ever since then I've been searching for him…But I'm getting nowhere…But recently, Wyatt Knight decided to resurface. He should know where Percy is…No he knows where he is. He has to know.

Tomorrow I'm going to ask him. Although I got mad at him when he got back…So I don't think he'll be happy to see me. Last night, I had this dream. Well we all have dreams, some are just more intense than others, and some are actually memories…Some I really don't want to remember or relive. But…This one wasn't that bad. I mean I did almost die, but I saved and something between me and my savior sparked…Ugh. Man I can't believe I feel that way towards Wyatt! Or felt- Whatever, but now that he's back…I just feel…As though I need him. When a girl is feeling down, she just needs someone to be there for her…But then again, they want that specific person to be there for them.

Like I want Percy to be here…But my mind is being torn in two. Wyatt is a powerful Demi-god, who has…A goddess as his lover. Something I can't compete with…What am I thinking? Why did he have to come back? I finally threw away those feelings! But they just came crawling back…

Gods…I'm hopeless without Percy!

Whenever Wyatt was around my eyes were always on him. But when he wasn't there, there was this kid that always made me feel like nothing else mattered. He made me feel like I was safe. Sea-weed brain…A nickname that wasn't supposed to have any meaning, but now it's something only I can call Percy. No one else can call him that.

Let's get on with the dream, I was with Wyatt, Percy and Grover. We were at the entrance to Tartarus. An incredible force was pulling us in, I would have fallen in, if not for Wyatt. He has powers greater than the gods. He's always surprised me when he used them.

Anyway after that, I just completely fell for him…But he always goes somewhere, he's always on his own missions. I want to go with him, but I'll just slow him down. After the dream, I woke up to the sound of a dragon roaring. And also when one of my siblings woke me up because of the roar. When I went out, there was indeed a dragon, plus Leo, and Wyatt.

Strange, Wyatt never accepts offers when it involves traveling, he'd rather fly then go inside a car and being with a bunch of people. He was sitting behind Leo, and he looked tired. Leo on the other hand, was excited. Actually it looked like he got some sleep. But then again Wyatt always looks tired, since he's father is Hades.

All the campers around Leo and Wyatt were wearing a combination of Pajama's and Armour. The dragon set down right in the middle of the green, and Leo yelled, "It's cool! Don't shoot!" Wyatt slid off and grumbled, "It wouldn't have mattered if they shot at us or not. I could've stopped them." Mister grumpy.

Leo blushed, "Oh, right."

Hesitantly, the archers lowered their bows. The warriors backed away, keeping their spears and swords ready. They made a loose wide ring around the metal monster. Other demigods hid behind their cabin doors or peeped out the windows. Nobody seemed anxious to get close. Can't blame them, I mean it's a huge dragon, but I can admire it anyway. It glistened in the morning sun like a living penny sculpture —different shades of copper and bronze—a sixty-foot-long serpent with steel talons and drill-bit teeth and glowing ruby eyes. It had bat-shaped wings twice its length that unfurled like metallic sails, making a sound like coins cascading out of a slot machine every time they flapped.

Piper was staring at the dragon this whole time, "It's beautiful." Piper muttered, everyone stared at her like she was insane. She's not wrong at least. Wyatt walked forward, "Calm down everyone, this dragon is-

The dragon reared its head and shot a column of fire into the sky. Campers scrambled away and hefted their weapons, Wyatt sighed, and then Leo calmly slid off the back of the dragon. He held up his hands like he was surrendering, except he still had that crazy grin on his face.

"People of Earth, I come in peace!" Leo shouted. He looked like he'd been rolling around in the campfire. His army coat and his face were smeared with soot. His hands were grease-stained, and he wore a new tool belt around his waist. His curly hair was so oily it stuck up in porcupine quills, and he smelled strangely of Tabasco sauce. But he looked absolutely delighted. "Festus is just saying hello!"

"That thing is dangerous!" an Ares girl shouted, brandishing her spear. "Kill it now!"

"Stand down!" someone ordered.

Jason was the one who was the one who ordered them to stop, he pushed past me and was followed by Nyssa. I decided to follow. Wyatt looked at the Jason disapprovingly, "Yea, stand down!" He said.

I stared at Wyatt's arm, he tapped the sleeve to where his shoulder and arm was connected. I guess that was a good idea, when I first saw the thing just swaying from left to right, like it wasn't there, made me uncomfortable. He saw me looking at his arm. He sighed and mouthed the words, 'I'm sorry.' I tilted my head, what for?

Jason gazed up at the dragon and shook his head in amazement. "Leo, what have you done?"

"Found a ride!" Leo beamed. "You said I could go on the quest if I got you a ride. Well, I got you a class-A metallic flying bad boy! Festus can take us anywhere!"

"It—has wings," Nyssa stammered. Her jaw looked like it might drop off her face.

"Yeah!" Leo said. "I found them and reattached them."

"Which would have taken you all night." Wyatt coughed, he rubbed his eye and yawned. "And I thanked you for that." Leo said.

Wyatt waved his away, "Whatever, you owe me for this. Maybe when we meet again I'll collect." He said and oh no…He's going to take off. "Wyatt!" I said and covered my mouth, "Hmm?" He murmured.

Now what am I supposed to say? Wait…I know what to say and what to do. He's going to help me, whether he likes it or not. "I need to speak with you." I said and walked over to him. I grabbed his shoulder, "Take us somewhere else." I ordered.

He sighed, like he knew this was coming. He is really strange, but then again he's Wyatt. Wyatt reluctantly obliged, soon we were in the woods by Zeus's fist. Or was, I forget what they call it. Anyway I shivered, I hate shadow traveling. It's so cold. "Ugh, cold…" I muttered. Wyatt turned towards me, "So?"

I smiled sweetly. "I want you to help me find Percy." I told him.

He didn't look shocked, "Did you already find him?" He frowned, "No. Something…Or someone is hiding him. I can't sense him." He told me.

I stomped on the ground, "Of course!"

Wyatt stepped back, "Did I do something wrong again?" I sighed, "No…I'm sorry, I'm just frustrated. It's Hera, she's the one who took Percy, and she's the one who is hiding him. So do you think you can me?"

Wyatt scratched his head. "Uhh…I wouldn't mind helping you…But I have to get back to Artemis. She'll probably be worried…Or mad." He said, I frowned, but then I had an idea. "How about I come with you? And then afterword's you can help me." I asked.

He rubbed his chin. "Sure. Why not?"

My mouth hung open, so…If I just asked, I would go with him? It's that easy? Wyatt stood still and closed his eyes. And then he started to strain, "What's wrong?" I asked cautiously.

"I can't find her either…Annabeth, tell me what's happened since I was gone." He demanded.
