Chapter 7: Stalking

(Percy POV)

Currently I was riding on Blackjack, we just crossed the Nebraska border. Why was I in Nebraska you might ask? Well, I was trying to find some quest members one actually being my girlfriend and another my cousin, the last was just a close friend. Why there were in Nebraska, well actually I have no idea. Why are they in Nebraska? Oh well at the moment all I cared about, is finding my girlfriend.

'Hey boss, your fallin' asleep again.' My Pegasus's Blackjack said, shanking me out of a trance.

"Sorry, I just didn't sleep that well last night." I said, matter of fact we have been traveling for about a day and a half, and last night I had a nightmare about a gold eyed man again, making me more determined to find my girlfriend. Something was out there and I needed to know my girlfriend, Annabeth is her name, is safe and sound in camp.

'Boss, your fallin' asleep again.'

"Oh sorry again Blackjack..." I said dosing off again.

'Boss, Boss! Wake up, lets just take a little break.' Blackjack suggested, 'Plus my wings are getting a little tired to.'

"Alright lets land by that hotel, we can just sleep in that shed." I said giving in.

So we made our way to the ground in front of the hotel, but still hidden in the trees.

'Hey boss? Can you like go inside and get us some food?' Blackjack said laying down.

I yawned "Sure, I'll be right back. Keep heads up alright?"

'Sure, sure boss. Just hurry, I'm starving!'

I walked into the empty parking lot, 'that's weird' I thought confused. Oh well, probably just a slow day. So I continued walking inside. Once I walked inside the doorway, a sudden burst of air conditioning hit me. I sighed, Its good to be inside where its not hot. I walked over to the attendant office, at least that's what I think its called, anyway I read her name tag. 'Kami' it read.

"Hello," I started, and she looked up. Wow she looked like an angle, she had brown hair that was straight, she had on a blue t-shirt, but fit her shape, also had make-up that made her green eyes pop; more then they already would have if she had make up on.

"uhh...'chough' Hi, can you tell me where the." I stopped, eating area? Yeah, I go with that. "The eating area is?"

"Uh sure? But you have to pay for a room first then everything else is free."

"Oh, um how much?" I asked

"20 dollars." She said matter-of-factly. I handed her my 20 dollar bill and made my way over to the diner, 'I'm going to call it that now sounds more official.' I thought. Once I was in there my mouth dropped. Food. Was. Every where! If I was alone I might have screamed like a little girl, but no this was packed. I made my way over to the desserts. So many choices! I grabbed a huge plate and started packing it with food.

"-Thalia its not like that." I heard someone say. I jumped, dropping all my food, and like a ninja; If I do say so myself, I rolled under the table just as my girlfriend walked over to where I was just standing.

"I'm just really worried about him! I mean for crying out loud he could be on his death bed right now!" Great there talking about me, and for your information I'm not on my death bed! And I'm actually feeling better then two days ago, but still sick...ugh maybe I don't want to eat anymore.

"Annabeth." I heard someone say, most likely Piper. "He's not on his death bed, actually he's thinking of you right now and how beautiful you looked the day you left." I felt myself blush. "Plus I bet we will see him very soon." 'I hope not...' I thought

"Lets go back to our room Annabeth, we can message camp right now if that makes you feel better." Thalia said. 'Oh no! When they message camp they will figure out that I've gone missing and freak out! I got to stop them.' I thought very determined. I heard them walk away, so I got out from under the table and started following them, at a safe distance of course.

Line Break, I know its Amazing!

"What do you mean 'he when missing'?" Annabeth asked talking to Chiron.

"He's gone Annabeth, two days ago he was asleep in his bed with Grover watching him, then in the morning he was gone, so was Blackjack!" Chiron replied. I was currently in the cleaning supply closet, and let me tell you the supply stink worse then the actual hotel bathroom!

"Okay Chiron, he probably is trying to find us."

'Already did...' I thought

"We'll keep an eye out for him, and send him back to camp once we find him." Annabeth said.

'Ha-ha I'm not going back!' I thought, suddenly Annabeth slashed through the connection and burst out crying.

"Oh, Annabeth I know your worried about him; but there's nothing we can do right now."

"I-I'm not worried about him leaving, I'm actually happy he did now we can have a 4th member like the prophecy said, but I'm worried about his safety." She said

"Oh thats so sad." A voice said at the doorway

"Kami?" Piper asked

"Really come one! You don't know who I really am?" She asked annoyed. Everyone nodded there heads. All the sudden she changed into a snake-haired thing that is half-woman, half dragon with wings and the heads of various mutated wild animals growing from her human torso. In other words, ugly.

"Kampe." Annabeth whispered

"Very good child of Athena." 'Kami' clapped. "I actually have a friend for you, Archrane!" She yelled.

Annabeth immediately paled. "Her, why her?" She whispered.

My anger was rising. How could someone bring back my girlfriends worst enemy and who she feared the most?

"Hello Annabeth." Archrane said in a raspy voice "We meet again."

"Archrane" She said very calmly. "L-Lets just get this over with" Saying this a little less calm.

"Oh no, I'm not here for you anymore." She said, everyone looking at her confused, counting me. "I'm actually here for another person, that was the one who killed me when you were almost my pray."

I felt my blood run cold, she was talking about me. Everyone else was confused again, this time Piper spoke up.

"Very funny, Percy isn't here, and no one else has killed you from like 500 years ago!" Piper said laughing.

"Oh really? Well, I beg a differ." Yeah she was defiantly talking about me. She then pulled out a spider that looked different then your normal spider, It was clear and had a tint of blue, It also had white hairs, wasn't a big spider at all but it was creepy.

"This is my best spider of them all, very deadly, Its simple touch can severely injure its pray. Oh! I think he's found it." She said very happy, it was scary. Just then the spider crawled down from Archrane and started coming my way, when it passed Annabeth she screamed thinking it was coming at her. But no I was the on who had to be its pray. So, It kept going towards the closet.

"Is Percy-," but got cut off when I jumped out and slashed at it, but missed of course.

"Percy!" Thalia yelled at me, Annabeth and Piper in shock. I again slashed at the spider, this time I sliced it, but not so deep that it died. Archrane then sent more spiders out to deal with the other people in the room, to keep them occupied. It suddenly jumped at me and I hit it with the back of my hand.

"Agh!" I screamed, and stabed the spider and it turned into dust. Annabeth looked at me with a worried look, but I gave her a nod like saying I was fine. I knew she didn't believe me, but had to go back to fighting the spiders all around her.

"M-my Baby!" Archrane screamed. I quickly looked at my hand. It was bleeding and it stung like I've never felt before, but not so much that I felt like I was going to pass out. I didn't waste another minute and in one quick movement I stabbed Archrane. I noticed 'Kami' snuck out of something.

"Guys come on!" I yelled as the spiders they were fighting were crawling way. They followed me and we soon started running through the halls.

"I knew Archrane was a waste of time..." I heard someone, Kami, mumble. I stopped moving. Everyone hitting into me. I grunted.

"Sorry." I heard them say quietly, but I just signaled Kami was around the corner.

"On count of three, we attack." I whispered "One, Two...Three!" I screamed and we jumped out, but there was no one there. Suddenly I felt a cold sharp thing on my neck

A knife...

-Its done!
