May I just say to everyone who's leaving me comments on details, spelling and grammar and all that garbage: I'M A KID! SHUT UP! I don't care about all that so leave me alone. OK???

Running down the hall… When did I get here? A minute ago I was in the big house. I heard a voice… Calling my name… It was so close yet so distant… So familiar, But yet not… I spun around and looked into deep red hating eyes. I felt cold, rough hands wrap around my neck and then…

I bolted upright. I looked around. I was still in the big house and I was alive. What was that? I heard a knock on the door.

"Can I come in?" I heard someone ask.

"Uh… Sure." I said a bit dizzy.

Thalia walked in.

"Why'd you come back?"

"Some of the hunters, well, they sort of left to join Kronus or they died while fighting off one of his armies." She replied, sounding a bit pissed.

"No way; you're lying." I blurted.

She shook her head.

Percy barged in.

"ANNABETH," he was furious. "Chiron wants to see you."

He said 'you' with such distaste that I almost forgot he wasn't a kid of Ares.

"Ok."

He stormed out and Thalia was completely dumbstruck.

"What was that about?"

"I really have no idea." I replied.

I got up and went to see Chiron.

"You wanted to see me."

"Ah, yes. As you're probably aware the hunters are joining Kronus."

"Yeah, I don't get it."

"Neither does Artemis."

"Percy seemed mad that you wanted to see me. Why?"

He chuckled, "Annabeth, he's him. What would you expect? Him to be: overjoyed?"

"I don't know."

I went to find Percy. I found him just when I was about to stop looking. He was building something. It looked like… Like a building.
