Chapter 13

Kennedy POV

"So, Percy," I asked, "Why aren't we going to DOA on land?" (This is for you, Izzybella12)

"Uh… Gaea may not awake for a long while, but she can still do some minor things like earthquakes and stuff. I think she would like make a bazillion earthquakes that end up with the 6 of us separately surrounded by fissures because of what we did last year," Percy replied, hesitating. I wonder why he hesitated before answering… That's weird. Anyway, we were headed towards an island in the distance.

"Also, we're kinda low on some supplies that we will probably need later on. Let's just say that a mission to wherever Annabeth is will probably need some gear. I'm pretty sure we can get some of that stuff on Polyphemus' island." He sounded more confident now.

"So…" I asked, "What do we actually need?"

"First of all," he said, "we need some Celestial Bronze so that we can get the Athena cabin and Hephaestus cabin to fix that communication device to find Leo."

"Who's Leo?" I asked.

"Leo is… was… is… One of the Seven, a man who can use pyrokinesis, killer of Gaea, maker of the Argo II… Oh, and first user of the Physician's Cure since Ancient Greece," he answered.

"Okay, go on."

"Second of all, we need to get some food. Did you notice we forgot to pack enough food? We didn't expect to know where Annabeth is. Polyphemus has his sheep, which I'm sure will serve as food."

"Are you sure those sheep are edible? Maybe we should just hit up Walmart when we get to LA."

"Ermmm… Well, we're stopping by for Celestial Bronze, anyways, so yeah. Might as well."

"Ok."

Percy POV

I don't even know why I'm complying with this. I mean, yes, that's what Apollo told me, but surely there's some way to prevent it, right? Of course, for the sake of the quest, I'll do it, but… I wish there was another way.

LINEBREAKISWORRIEDABOUTPERCY

Annabeth POV

They left me alone. The silence frightened me, to be completely honest. Also, I wonder who would even have the guts to come in here. Percy? Nico? Assuming they knew the location…

It's so silent over here.

So creepy.

So gloomy.

So dark.

So moody.

So scary.

So lonely.

So grim.

So sullen.

Almost as if it was intentional, so that our ADHD would torture us.

Using us against us.

Tearing ourselves apart.

AN: OK, this was kind of a shorter chapter, but I have my mid-term tests right now, so I'm quite busy and I wanted to still get updates out for you guys and gals out there. As always, R&R, and don't flame.
