Chapter Two

To say the camp was in shock would be an understatement. Two days had gone by and the camp had shut-down. Literally and figuratively. Sobs/wailings could be heard from almost all of the cabins. (The empty cabins had no sound, of course) It was a nightmare you would never wake up from.

Flashback

It was dinnertime. The campers slowly trickled in, sitting at their respective tables. As soon as they sacrificed their food to the gods, they sat down to eat. Throwing side glances at the head table, they noticed that both Chiron and Mr. D had dried tear streaks. What was that about?

After an awkward sing-along at the campfire, Chiron finally stamped his foot and called for silence.

"Campers!" Chiron called. "I have an… announcement to make!"

The campers quieted.

"P-percy J-jackson-n…" Chiron began, stuttering over his words.

"He's back?"

"Where is he?"

"Let's celebrate!"

"Quiet, please," Chiron sighed. Again, the campers silenced themselves.

"As you know, Percy went on a quest."

"Yeah, some quest the gods gave him!"

The campers murmured among themselves, then quieted, waiting to hear the rest of the news.

Chiron bit his lip slightly. The big news. How would the campers react? "Perseus Jackson… has disappeared."

There was a silence, then chaos reigned.

Flashback End

Eventually, a week went by but still nothing had changed. How would the campers possibly be roused?

Boom! An explosion sounded. The wailings were cut off as the campers felt confusion. What- WHAT IS THAT?

Hastily, the campers grabbed their weapons and hurried outside. The camp was under attack! Campers tried to take position, but alas, they had not trained for a week. Confusion and turmoil took place.

In one cabin, three people had not stirred at the explosion – Thalia, Nico, and Annabeth. The three closest to Percy. Screams of terror, obviously by the not-as-proficient warriors, could be heard. At the screams, the 3 started to stir the tiniest bit.

Suddenly, pounding fists could be heard on the locked cabin door. "Pinecone, Death, Princess!" Get your butts out here!" Clarrise's voice angrily called. A brief moment of silence, and the three barely moved.

"Thalia… Nico…" Clarrise paused, "Annabeth. Please." The soft plead completely stirred the three.

Click. The cabin door slowly swung open, revealing the standing figures of Thalia and Nico, and an umoving Annabeth. Just as Clarrise opened her mouth, Annabeth's head slowly swung around, showing her ragged appearance.

"Percy wouldn't want me to be like this." It wasn't a question. Slowly, Clarrise nodded. Annabeth's mouth turned up into a half-smile, and she stood up.

"Well, what are you waiting for?" Annabeth's eyes had their light again. "Let's do this!"

At the Battlefield

Monster and camper were clashing. Many monsters had fallen, but then again, many campers were wounded. The campers were quickly losing hope. How could they possibly win without Percy?

"Campers! With me!" there was a rallying cry. Camper and monster alike turned at the cry. Annabeth Chase stood there with her dagger held high above her head, eyes alit with fire. She stood, in all her 5'6" glory, hair clumped and unbrushed, clothes dirty. Yet the campers could not have seen a more beautiful sight. With an answering cry, they fell into line besides Annabeth, then charged.

The battle was over in 10 minutes. Recharged with hope, campers fought with all their might. Chiron stood in front of the tired campers.

"Now let this be a lesson to us. Percy would not have wanted to see us like this," Chiron paused. "Let us live on!"

"To Camp Half-Blood and the gods!"
