OMG! So I left it at a cliffy... so I am going to update even though I only got 8 reviews.. so we'll try again with our goal. 18 reviews! MAKE ME A happy girl and give me that...

Everything went insane. People were crying.. sobbing even. The heads stood vigil, frowning deeply as they looked down at his body. My eyes flew over all the faces... the ones who were crying.. the one's whose eyes were large and looming... confused.

How could this have happened?

How could a camper be killed?

Why is this possible?

Could it be?

... is Camp Half Blood no longer safe?

"What's going on?" Malcolm grumbled, standing close beside me. I looked at him, in his eyes. He was scared. I looked across the circle of people. Every single person had a look of terror deep in their eyes.

Percy was standing close beside me. His eyes were on me. He was gazing, mortified at me. I could read his eyes. He was scarred of what was happening. He was even more scared of what this must mean. He stepped closer for a moment before speaking in a dull tone. "I'm not sure.. we'll take care of this." He mumbled nearly in my ear. "Take the kids.. leave them in their cabins. Meet back in the library.. we have to figure this out."

"But Percy.. we shouldn't leave them alone. What if something happens to them?" I asked, frowning in their direction.

"We can't talk about this in front of them Annabeth.. that.. wouldn't work. Just leave them. We'll get them but we have to decide what we're going to do.." Percy's concerned look was worrying me, but I nodded and took a step forward, nodding at Katie.

"Come on, guys. Lets go back to our cabins... it's all going to be fine." I told them, hoping they wouldn't notice my voice was shaking.

They turned to follow. My hands shook as I walked beside Katie. We delivered all the demigods and then hurried to the library.

"What could this mean?" A voice was asking as we walked through the door.

"What else could it mean?" Percy asked darkly. "Camp Half Blood isn't safe anymore."

"But how?" Katie asked, eyes weary.

"I don't know." Percy grumbled, eyes wide as he walked to my side. He grabbed my hand and I smiled weakly at him.

"Someone must be here.. someone got in." I mumbled, nodding to myself.

"But how would someone get in?" Malcomb asked, sitting down at the table.

"There must be another passage way... like through the Librith. There must be another clinch in the plan. There must be another way to get inside camp..." I heard myself rambling, but ignored it.

"So what should we do?" Conner grumbled uneasily.

"We need to stay together. We just need to somehow keep the cabins together.. maybe we should sleep in the Big House." Precy suggested.

"Percy's right. It's not a good idea to split up even if it is between cabins. We need to stay together." I agreed, looking around the room.

"So... what about activities?" Katie asked, standing up from her spot at the table.

"I think we should hold our actives in doors... keep everyone together and just do one large group sword fighting or Greek history.." I said.

"Okay. So, it's a plan. Everybody go get the kids from your cabins and bring them to the big house while Annabeth and I set up." Percy told them from my side.

They filed out and Percy turned to me, eyes wide, nervous. "Annabeth." He wrapped his arms around me and kissed my hair.

"Percy.. I'm fine." I mumbled, looking at him. His smile was feeble, weak.

"I know.. but..." He trailed off, laughing. "Come on.. I'm just being stupid."

"What's new?" I asked, faking excitement.

"Hey Annabeth.. we have things under control here. You can go back to the cabin and get your stuff if you want." Malcolm told me, helping me roll out a sleeping bag for one of the kids.

"Um.. thanks." I muttered, standing up. I walked out of the Big House and onto the porch where I stood for a moment, looking out at the camp. This is our home.. Camp Half Blood is our home and now it's not safe. How could our lives go on? With a long sigh I shook my head and walked to the Athena cabin without looking back. I opened the door and walked over to my bed to grab my backpack but stopped dead. There, lying on my pillow was a plane white envelope. With a shaky hand I reached out and picked it up.

Annabeth

When I kissed you, I didn't know about you and Percy. I saw you guys a few minutes ago.. out in front of your cabin. I saw you hugging him and then figured out what happened. I wondered why you pushed me away so, but I understand why you did what you did now. I shouldn't have kissed you.

I'm really sorry. The last thing I wanted to do was come between you and your boyfriend.. I just thought you were really smart and funny.. oh who am I kidding? You're hot. So, I'm sorry about what happened. I hope you can forgive me so we can maybe be friends. That would be great, Annabeth, because you are a really cool person and I'm glad to have met you. Again.. I'm sorry.

Jason

I gasped, cringing at the name at the bottom of the paper. With a sigh, I folded the letter and then reached down to grab my backpack. I got it and stuffed some clothes in it before pulling my laptop off the table. I got my books off the bookshelf and stuck them in the bag before grabbing the bag and running from the room. Suddenly I couldn't be alone. Suddenly I felt like every moment I stood there alone in the room I would suffocate.

Just as I opened the door I saw something. Beside my bed was a small piece of paper. I walked back over to it and frowned. It was blank. I stuffed it in my pocket and ran from the room, practically flying to the Big House.

When I reached the porch of the big house I stopped to catch my breath for a moment, setting my bag down on the floor.

"Yo Beth!" I jumped about ten feet in the air and Grover laughed. "Scared?"

"Yes. You do realize someone is dead?" I said, glaring at Grover.

"Wait, what? I was coming to try to find out what was going on. No one's anywhere."

"Jason's dead."

"How?"

"We don't know."

"Someone's in the camp?"

"We are guessing."

"Wow."
