(Percy)

It had been an hour since Annabeth had left. "Hey, Perce," Connor said walking by.

"Hey, Connor, do you know if Annabeth came out of the Athena cabin yet?" I asked.

"No, sorry, Perce, but I didn't even see anyone in there, so she might've left before I walked by," he said. "Sorry, I gotta go, Lou's expecting me down in the woods."

I nodded. Lou and Connor had been going out since last year. I walked to the Athena's cabin to look for Annabeth. Sure enough, she wasn't there, but when I looked, I saw her cap and dagger lying in the ground. "That's weird, Annabeth wouldn't just leave her stuff lying around like that," I said to myself.

Suddenly, a pair of hands wrapped around my face, covering my eyes and mouth. "Sweet dreams, Perseus," a voice said to me just before I blacked out.
