Chapter 4! Yeah! I told you I love writing, and I would be writing several chapters a week, and I always keep my promises. So yeah. READ on and ENJOY! Btw, this chapter is reaalllly long, and all from Annabeth's POV. Sorry 'bout that.

Annabeth:

I couldn't believe he was gone! We had only had 17 days and he was gone again! These weird wolf men came and shoved him in a truck and drove off. I was now stuck in California. I could go to Camp Jupiter and ask to borrow a Pegasus I guess.

But Percy was gone! I literally couldn't believe it. I screamed in outrage and kicked the nearest bench. That was a dumb move on my part. I said some choice curse words in Greek, and hopped on one foot. People were staring at me. I didn't care.

This was all my fault. If I hadn't have planned something so crazy like this, he would have never gotten caught. If I would have reacted faster, I could have stopped them. When I curled up in a ball, my head in my lap, I cried my heart out. Did the gods have no mercy?! Hadn't we suffered enough. We had been through Tartarus and defeated Gaea for gods sake.

When I closed my eyes, I saw him, arms outstretched, reaching toward me, fear in his eyes, as the monster threw him into the van. The scene played over and over again in my head. I couldn't lose him. No. No. No! No! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I probably sat there for hours, wailing and looking like a complete idiot. I was still sobbing and moaning when I heard something go thump beside me. Let them take me, I though bitterly. Let them take me to wherever he is. I don't care what they do to me. I would jump into Tartarus again to keep him company. Then, a horse neighed, and I heard a second thump. I looked up, and there was Blackjack.

He looked at me curiously, and then whinnied as if to say, "Where's Percy?"

"A little too late for that," I said angrily. "Where were you?" Blackjack bowed his head and nickered softly.

"It's okay Blackjack," I said, regretting the cruel words. I hopped on his back, and he zipped off toward Camp Half Blood at full speed.

When we finally reached Camp Half Blood, it was nine o'clock. Blackjack collapsed, exhausted from the hard work. Porkpie had went slower, so he still wasn't here yet.

We landed by the campfire since that's where everyone was at the time. I heard Chiron saying, "Piper, I'm sure Blackjack and Porkpie found them. There's no need to panic. We just need to..."

"Find Percy," I said.

Chiron must not have heard what I said, because he said, "See, there's Annabeth right now." He frowned, and asked, "Where's Percy?"

"Kidnapped," I said, and started crying all over again. There was a collective gasp from all of the campers, and Hazel rushed up to comfort me. There was mass chaos throughout the campers, with people shouting and asking questions. "By who?" "When?" "I'm awake mother!" (That one was Clovis)

Chiron banged his hoof on the stone tiles. Everyone fell silent. He cleared his throat, and said, "Well this is an unfortunate turn of events. I think we need more information before we panic though. Annabeth, what happened specifically?"

I stood up, and faced the campers, tears still leaking from my bloodshot eyes. I told them how he had made the water pod, and we had gone to California to visit Camp Jupiter, and go surfing together. "We had just finished eating dinner, and we couldn't find the water pod. Percy tried to call Blackjack, but it didn't work. So we were going to..."

"Hold up!" shouted Grover. "Annabeth, the reason why Blackjack and Porkpie never came was because someone knocked them out of the sky with a net!"

I gasped and so did several others. "Who would do that?!" asked Hazel, enraged.

Chiron stomped his hoof again. "Annabeth, please continue."

"Well, we decided to IM back to camp, and I saw a glass prism in a shop window. When I went to go buy the prism, these mortal guys came up and tranquilized Percy.

The campers gasped, and Hazel started crying. "The stuffed him in the back of a van and when I ran out of the shop, they started to change into werewolves or something."

Chiron looked like he was going to faint. "What happened then?" he asked.

"I attacked them with my sword, but they knocked it out of my hand. They were incredibly strong. They got in the van before I could recover my senses, and, and, they drove away." I wailed, and fell onto my knees, sobbing uncontrollably. Hazel patted my shoulder, and said, "There, there, there. It's going to be okay. We'll find him again,"

The campers pretty much freaked out. In the middle of the chaotic scene, there was a sudden flash. A giant boom followed right after. After our eyes cleared, I realized that Jason had summon a lightning bolt. He shouted, "CALM! DOWN!"

That shut everyone up.

"Look," he said. "I don't know who kidnapped Percy, or what they want, but I know this. Percy is a strong guy, and we're demigods for goodness sake. We have survived a Titan war, Gaea's awakening, and I'll eat Zeus's beard if we are going to freak out over this."

"You'll eat Zeus's beard?" Leo asked confused. I noticed he was wearing a pile of rags. He must have caught on fire in the middle of the pandemonium.

"Shut up Leo, I'm serious right now," Jason scolded. "We'll find Percy. We always do. We're half-bloods for gods sake!"

"He's right," said Chiron. "We will need to consult the oracle."

Rachel stood up. "I think I feel a prophecy coming alon..."

She suddenly jerked, her back rigid. Her eyes glowed, and green smoke poured from her mouth.

"Here we go," said Leo.

"Shhh!" Hazel hissed.

Rachel coughed, and then she rasped:

When the earth has fallen, and flames rise again,

Angels shall arise from mortal sin,

17 days after the feast of Spes,

The heroes face another quest,

The sea snatched from wisdom's hands,

Taken away to the waterless lands,

The birds must be freed from the School,

Where mortals labor under witchs' rule

When mortal, god, and beast become one,

Wolves and Whitecoats have not yet won,

Six shall go, and bring back seven more,

The secrets they hold shall open the door,

A new threat arises, stronger than before,

Listen to the Voice or blood will pour

Rachel gasped, and fell to the ground in a faint.

"That, my friends, was the longest prophecy Camp Half Blood has ever heard," Chiron said.

"What does it mean? The birds must be freed from the school? Are they like, class pets?" asked Leo.

"I don't know," I said. "When the earth has fallen... well, we've beaten Gaea."

"And flames rise again, that me," offered Leo.

"I guess, but what does Angels arising have to do with this?" said Jason. "Last time it talked about an angel, it was talking about Nico. Does this have anything to do with Nico?"

"I don't think so," I said. "It says Angels not Angel,"

"17 days after the feast of Spes, that would be today, Percy's birthday!" said Piper. "And it specifically says we need a quest."

"The sea snatched away from wisdom's hands," I said. "That's Percy being kidnapped from me."

"And waterless lands, that would be a desert right?" Jason asked.

"Yeah. So Percy is in a desert somewhere, probably in California or somewhere near there," said Hazel.

"That school part bothers me..." said Nico. That couldn't be good.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Well, I think the Angels and Birds are the same thing. And I have a feeling that it's not a school, it's The School." The way he said it sounded ominous. I shivered, and said, "It says that mortals are working for witches there. I think that line is pretty obvious."

"Mortal and god would be half-blood, but mortal, god, and beast?"

"A werewolf demigod?" Leo suggested. I shuddered and Hazel said, "Those werewolves, maybe they were demigods."

"No," I said. "They were completely mortal."

"The next line mention wolves," said Jason. "But, if you say they were mortal, I believe you."

"What do white coats have anything to do with this?" asked Leo.

"Who knows?" said Piper. "It says, six shall go. There are seven of us, and missing Percy, that gives us six."

"Okay, so I think that figures out who will go on the quest. Any objections?" I said.

No-one answered.

"Okay, so we're going to bring back seven more. It doesn't say whether one of them is Percy," said Frank.

"You're right, we just have to hope," said Piper.

A tear ran down my cheek, and Hazel gave me a hug.

"Great. A new threat arises," Leo groans. "stronger than before..." Callypso said. "I hope that doesn't mean Gaea is rising again."

"No," Chiron said. "Gaea has been sent back into a very deep sleep. It is something else."

"And the last line," I said. "Listen to the voice. What voice? And if we don't listen to this voice, blood will pour? That doesn't sound good at all."

"No," said Hazel. "It definitely does not sound good..." Oh gods, if Percy got killed, I wouldn't be able to live with myself.
