Sorry for the long wait, I had this written out for a bit and then changed the whole idea. Sorry! Anyway onward to read and review. ALSO! Don't forget to vote on my poll on where Dru should go on her next adventure. If you have an idea and it's not on there ... TELL ME! If I didn't want your opinion I WOULDN'T ASK! :)

Percy wasn't sure why Dru had told him to watch Annabeth because not long after Annabeth he fell asleep, his arms wrapped around her he slumbered into a deep sleep thanks to his Achilles heel. When he woke he wasn't sure how long he had slept for, dawn was just beginning to break over camp and Annabeth slept with her head and arms on Percy's chest. He didn't move in fear of waking her, she needed whatever sleep she could get so instead Percy stroked her perfect curls gently. No doubt he would have fallen back asleep due to this Achilles heel except he saw the red blistered skin that wrapped around both of Annabeth's thin wrists and the thin read line on her throat.

Could this be from the Nightmare? Percy thought, he knew Annabeth hadn't had another nightmare, yet he had seen the injuries Dru had gotten from the dream projection. Was this just another side effect of the Sanhelli? With his index finger Percy gently brushed over the blistered skin. He had had burns before and knew that these were painful, he hoped Chiron would be back today. He and Mr. D had gone to Olympus for some unknown reason last night and had not returned soon enough to join the combat groups. Percy was sure of it, he hadn't seen them he would talk to Clarisse later just to be sure they hadn't joined on the patrols.

"Annabeth," Percy whispered quietly when she did not stir he spoke a little louder and poked her. "Annabeth!"

"Ummm." Annabeth murmured something unintelligible to Percy before she opened her eyes. "Yeah Seaweed Brain?"

"How'd you get these?" Percy eyes were glued to the burns on her wrists.

"I – I don't know," Annabeth sat up on the bed and examined her wrists. "They weren't here before."

"I'll call Dru, she might know. You go change." Percy pecked Annabeth on the cheek before helping her to her feet. Once steadied Annabeth took off to the bathroom to change, Percy quickly changed into dark wash jeans and a black t-shirt before walking to the center of his cabin.

"Dru!" Percy called a little unsure of what to do. "DUR!" he called again, he waited for twenty seconds before he started to rant in Greek. "Dru ήταν στον Άδη είσαι!" Dru where in Hades are you!

No response. Percy sighed and tried again, "Dru, Ανναμπεθ είναι κακό να πάρει τον κώλο σου εδώ κάτω!" Dru, Annabeth is hurt get your ass down here!

"You know Seaweed Brain I can hear everything you are saying?" Annabeth said as she came out of the bathroom dressed in a short tank top with a flowery sunshine pattern and aqua blue shorts. "And I'm not that injured."

"Sorry Wise Girl, but Dru's not responding."

"Indeed she is not," Percy and Annabeth both turned to find Poseidon, Percy's dad, standing before them.

"Father."

"Lord Poseidon." Percy and Annabeth said at the same time.

"Not that I'm not happy to see you dad, but why are you here?"

"Your rant is giving the Gods quite a headache and we were wondering why you are cursing out Dru."

"She said if I needed her urgently to do it. Can you tell her to come down we really need to talk with her?"

Poseidon looked shocked at Percy's words. "Dru is not in Olympus."

"WHAT! Then were is she?"

"We have not seen her since yesterday afternoon."

"But she did her teleport thing and said she needed to have a talk with an old friend."

"And you assume she meant us?"

"Yes."

"Well things have indeed gone wrong. If Dru is not on Olympus and is not responding to your calls then she must be gone."

"Gone as in missing?" Annabeth asked. "Is that even possible?"

"Many things are possible, yet if Dru is indeed missing than we must act quickly. I will inform the Gods, as for you I believe someone with answers as to where Dru might be will be arriving shortly."

"Who?"

"Someone from her past, someone no one has seen in almost a thousand years. Now, I must inform the others of this disturbing new. Oh! Before I go, don't worry about the burns they'll disappear in a few hours." Percy and Annabeth instinctively looked away as Poseidon vanished in blinding white light.

"So why don't we go to the beach and you can tell me everything Dru told you."

"Sure." Percy agreed, together they walked to the beach were the waves and frigid morning air was unmistakable. They sat down on the sand together and Percy told Annabeth everything that he had learned from Dru. Nothing went without being said from her conversation with Athena to the Dream Projections. When Percy was done, Annabeth pelted him with questions which he did the best to answer. Once Annabeth had satisfied her curiosity the sun had already come into full view. They were about to walk off when a distinct and unforgettable voice called for them.

"Percy! Annabeth!" Thalia's unmistakable voice called as she ran down to them. Annabeth shirked and was on her feet hugging Thalia. Percy also got to his feet and hugged Thalia.

"Not that I'm not happy to see you Thalia, but why are you here?" Percy asked after they had all hugged.

"Lady Artemis was called to an emergency meeting at Olympus and told me I was needed here. Do you know why?"

"Most likely because of Dru." Annabeth answered, Thalia's electric blue eyes widened.

"Dru, as in sixteenish, charcoal hair, purple eyes that make you cower in fear when they get gold, and twin silver Khopesh swords?"

"Yeah, you know her?" Percy wondered when Thalia could have met Dru.

"Yeah, visited the hunters a few times when she was tracking something big. What's wrong with Dru?"

"She's missing."

"WHAT!" Thalia screamed in horror and disbelief. "No way."

"She's been gone nine hours and wouldn't respond to my calls for her."

"This is bad." Thalia said. "Dru always answers when someone calls. Even in battle she'll send a signal to show that she hears you and that she will come as quick as she can."

"We got nothing except my Dad coming down and saying I was giving the Gods a headache and that they hadn't seen Dru since that afternoon. They also said someone from Dru's past would be coming to help."

"Ohh! I hope its Will!" Thalia screamed like a daughter of Aphrodite.

"Who?" Annabeth and Percy said in unison.

"Will." Thalia said dismissing there confusion. "Dru talked about him once, he is suppose to be like a brother and guardian of the Preliator."

"Dru has a brother?" Percy asked.

"Not really, they aren't actually related. His family raised her once or something like that, I don't really know. Now come on Nico should be here soon and then we can get this show on the road."

"Nico?" Percy asked, its not like he didn't want to see Nico, on the contrary Nico was a good friend and had been missing him. It was just that Percy had absolutely no clue what was going on.

"Come on Seaweed Brain," Annabeth laughed as she pulled Percy towards the Big House and after Thalia.
