I'm so so so so so so sorry for mot being to update for so long. It's been a long week and I had to rest. I had been processing my college apps and It just took so much time in my writing schedule. Anyways, I bring you this chapter. I hope it amuses you somehow.

It was certainly a rough night for the whole camp.I stayed at the platform while I watched the campers run around and try to find me.

I was personally touched as I watched them worry about me. I wasn't really used to people caring about what I do, that was one of the reasons why I left home when I was seven. I sighed in contentedness and at the same time guilt, for the worry I was causing everyone.

I saw some of my friends trying to scour the woods; Malcolm and the Athena Cabin were consulting, what seemed to be a map on the common's area. I saw Katie Gardner and her siblings in the fields, trying to see if I was just hiding in there.

I sighed then went down the platform.

As much as it seemed fun to see them fuss, It's wrong, and I wasn't going to put up with them anymore.

I walked to the common's area where Percy, Malcolm, Chiron and the other camp counselors were. I still didn't take my Yankees Cap off. Percy was pacing back and forth while the others were seated cross-legged on the ground. I had expected them to be in the Big House or something but it seemed that they had no time for that. They just all sat down at the ground and then seemed to be discussing something.

"No signs of force or attacks." Malcolm sighed, consulting a notepad. "Either she screamed though she went awfully calmly or she screamed but she willingly went with whoever."

Percy snorted. "Annabeth won't take anything calmly when apprehended. I mean, no offense-but the only explanation is that she was taken while she was unconscious."

I went red, even though they couldn't see it. I take things calmly every way thank you very much.

Malcolm huffed tiredly. "Please tell me that we aren't going to be in the weird switcheroo stuff again." He sighed.

"Nah, I think Jason is going to alert us off if that happened." Nico said as snapped some sticks on the ground.

Connor groaned. "Please no. The last thing we need is another roman camper." she said. "But we should keep our eyes open for any new camper again."

"No." Percy said, stopping in mid-stride. " She can't be around losing her memory."

Travis nodded. "yeah, She values it too much to lose it."

I wanted to smack his head, but Malcolm beat me to it.

"I was just saying." He groaned.

Rachel then comes, putting a hand on Percy's shoulder. She took Percy's right hand with her own. In the firelight, I saw a gleaming diamond ring on Rachel's left ring finger. That pulled my blood into it's boiling point.

"It's going to be alright Percy." She said, comforting my boyfriend "She'll be fine. I'm sure of it."

She gave Percy a smile, which he managed to return, only a little bit. She then turned back then walked to the caves.

Silence.

Percy resumed to his pacing while the other counselors stared at each other. I noticed Malcolm who was staring intently at the grounds. Piper felt the need to break the silence.

"Okay. Well, Anybody got an idea on what happened to her?" She said, scratching the ground. "I mean, Annabeth isn't the one to give up easily."

Nobody answered, So Piper opted to change her question.

"Well, where did you guys see her last."

Chiron answered her. "I saw her last asking about Percy in the Big House.".,..

"I saw her last on the Archery Range. She nearly shot me on the forehead." Malcolm said. "It scared me to see her like that."

Connor shrugged. "I guess it's your fault that she's missing, Percy." He said. "But, on the bright side of things, I guess we know what to do right now right?"

Chiron sighed sadly. "Yes, actually. It's not our first time to lose a camper. Or just have someone disappear."

Everybody looked at the ground or anywhere else, trying not to look at Percy or Chiron. I slipped off my cap, shimmering into view. I quickly stuffed it into the waistband of my pants and then covered it with my shirt.

"Should we arrange a search party or should we dig up a grave?" I asked, startling them all, well-except Travis who was playing with Katie's fingers.

"Don't be stupid Annabeth." He snorted. " We're not going to dig up your grave yet. I bet Percy wouldn't even let us pick up a shovel if we tried." He said then after a few seconds, he seemed to have realized his mistake. "Annabeth! He cried.

The tension broke. I immediately found myself in the arms of Katie. Connor and Travis had looks of disbelief in their eyes. Piper was quiet, but relief was obvious in her eyes. Clarisse just rolled her eyes like I had the nerve to still show up, alive. Chiron too, looked as though he looked relieved as well.

"Annabeth!" He said. "Where have you been Child?" He asked. "You know we have been worried about you."

I sighed, but didn't answer. Percy then lost his temper.

"Where have you been, Wise Girl?." He asked, standing his ground. "Do you know how much we worried?"

I took a deep breath to compose myself. " I was out with my mom."

"Athena?" Percy asked.

I glared at him. "Yes, Athena. Who do you think? Hera?" I snapped at him

Silence.

Chiron suddenly broke the silence. "Well, I think we should call it a day. It has been a long one and we ought to prepare for tomorrow." He said, eyeing everyone closely.

Thankfully, everybody got the idea that I wasn't going to explain much more. Each of them muttered their own excuse then bade goodnight. I sighed then said good night to Chiron and then walked with Malcolm to our cabin.

After we reached the front of our cabin, I heard a voice calling my name.

"Annabeth! Hey, Wait.." Percy said as he caught my wrist. "Hey, umm.. Do you mind talking to me for a sec?"

I nodded toward Malcolm, who got the clue and went straight ahead. I watched as my brother crossed the threshold, then I wheeled around.

"Okay, Seaweed Brain." I said, trying to lessen the venom in my voice. I still haven't had forgotten about my dream. "What's up?"

He grinned his goofy grin. "The Sky."

I rolled my eyes. "What do you want Perseus?" I asked.

"Whoah...What's up with the first name?"

I sighed. "Just please get to your point?" I asked, impatient, wanting to get away from him. "I still got about dozen of campers in my cabin waiting for my explanation to as why I haven't been with them the whole day." I lied.

His eyes looked sad. "Oh...right..."

You won't be falling for that one, Annabeth. You won't-

I sighed. "Okay, Percy...What do you really want?"

"I was just going to ask you if we are still up for the beach. You agreed to come right?" He asked.

I pursed my lips. "I don't..." I started. "Uhm... I remember agreeing at ten...It's already 10:15. Unless you got a time machine..."

"Oh, come on, Wise Girl." Percy whined. "It was your fault anyways.."

"Well..."

Percy grinned. "Great. I'll be waiting by 10:30" He said then walked to the direction of his cabin.

I smirked as I opened the door of my cabin.

That boy, will so be the death of me.
