I'm not even going to try to come up for an excuse of why it took me so long to update, I'm just going to apologize that I haven't been updating. What with me not normally having the internet, I got sidetracked with everything else that you can do on it. Again, I'm sorry.

I do not own Percy Jackson, it belongs to Rick Riordan. Although, I do wish it belonged to me. I put it on my Christmas list, but I didn't get it:'(

Thalia's P.O.V.

"What? You know where Percy is? What are you waiting for, I must know where he is!" Chiron's voice was filled with worry for Percy. He would never say it out loud, but Percy was one of his most favorite demigods, right with Annabeth. He's been with the girl for ten years and has practically raised her. You could see the compassion in his eyes whenever he looked at them. He turned his heavy gaze toward me expectantly, calmly.

"That can wait for a little bit. What's trying to get into camp?" Annabeth said before I could tell him about Percy. Chiron waved his hand dismissingly, as if he flicked away the question with the back of his hand.

"It is nothing, we are not in danger. It is just Tyson trying to gain entrance to the camp. He went to see Percy in his cabin, and he's the one that found that he was missing. He's in the Big House, I was about to go and talk to him. You girls should come with me and help explain things, then we can call a meeting." Chiron explained. I nodded in agreement and followed him into the Big House. When we were crossing the threshold of the entrance, I said, "The way the campers were acting made it seem like something bad was trying to break in."

"No, they are just worried about Percy. Shortly after Tyson got back up here, some campers went to go see if Percy was alright, because nobody was aware of his absence except for Tyson. Anyways, when they went to his cabin, they discovered he was gone, along with the ambrosia, nectar, and drachmas in his cabin. Even some of his drawers were emptied. They came and reported it to me, but I already knew due to Tyson telling me, and I told them to leave it alone and that Percy is just off doing something and he'll be back soon."

"Do you really think he'll be back soon?" Annabeth asked.

"I hope so. I really hope so." He trailed off ominously just as we saw Tyson sitting on the couch in the main room where meetings are held. The ping pong table was already set up and ready for the meeting after they get done talking to Tyson. When they looked at Tyson, they could immediately tell he was not okay. His big brown eye was shedding huge fat droplets that ran down his face and left soaking wet tracks across his skin. Along with the tears, there was an uncontrollable sobbing noise coming from the back of his throat that sounded like someone was trying to strangle a wild animal that I assume is him sobbing.

"Tyson, my boy, Thalia here knows something about Percy. Don't worry, she will tell you what happened." Chiron said as soothingly as he could. Tyson kept sniffling, but he dried up his tears and looked at me expectantly along with the other two occupants of the room. As I opened my mouth to start explaining what I know, a loud voice came from the side off the room. Dionysus.

"Well, Tiffany, I don't really mind what happened to Perry, because that just means there is one less brat to watch and take care of." Dionysus looked at his fingernails, inspecting them for dirt, as if he didn't have a care in the world.

"You are a mean, mean man. That's not nice to be glad someone is gone. It is a sad thing. I should tell Daddy that you are being mean to my brother, and then I bet you'll regret being so mean." Tyson pouted.

"You can shove it, Dionysus. You may not care about anyone, but that means nobody cares about you either. How does it make you feel to always pick on people and act like you don't even care enough about them to remember their name? Do you even know your own children's name? You don't care about anyone or anything, not even the person that saved your throne so you can continue to call yourself a God. But know this, you are the most pathetic God I have ever met. Dad must have been blind or stupid to make you a God. The best camper has gone missing, also my closest friend, and Posiedon's son, and you don't even care!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. His eyes turned into a purple inferno and vines started growing through the house and cracking the walls and foundation.

"Intolerable girl! You may think I am a pathetic God, but I am still a God, so you must give me the respect I deserve, and I have the power to destroy your mind with just a simple thought. How dare you accuse me of not caring about my children?! Of course I care about them! You need to learn to hold your tongue girl. You have made an enemy her today, Thalia Grace. Watch your back while you fight, a spare vine may just accidentally trip you and make you land on a dagger that just so happened to pierce your heart. This is not the last time we will talk, Thalia Grace." He let the last word hang in the air before he vanished in a wisp of purpl-y gape vapor.

"That was not a wise thing to do Thalia." Chiron said nervously. Tyson's big brown eye was even bigger with surprise and fear. And Annabeth just looked extremely surprised. Any ,ore surprised and her eyes would pop out of her head.

"He's had that coming for a long time. I'm sick and tired of that jerk pushing everybody around. Anyways, back down to the matter at hand." I said, and then continued to describe my dream, and that I believed Percy might be... dead.

"No, I know he is not dead. I would be able to feel it." Tyson said after I finished. Annabeth gave him a funny look at what he said. "It's a brother thing. I'd be able to tell if he was... you know. And he's not. I know it." He said with more confidence than I've seen in him before.

"Okay Tyson. If he's not dead, we need to go find him and bring him back." I said with determination in my voice.

"Well, if you are planning on going to go on a quest to save Percy, we should call a meeting while you go talk to The Oracle. I feel like we all agree that you should be the one leading the quest." Tyson and Annabeth nodded their heads along with what Chiron was saying.

"Oh... ok...I'll go talk to The Oracle then..." I stand up and start towards the stairs, focusing my mind on the task at hand. As I started climbing the stairs, I heard the voices of Chiron, Annabeth, and Tyson fading away until there was nothing but silence, the sound of my breathing, and the occasional creak of the floorboards. My steps slowed as my nervousness mounted it's peak. The only time I've seen The Oracle before was when I was in the middle of playing capture the flag, and that was a pretty intense moment. I reached up and pulled down the stairs to the attic. When the attic was open I stood at the bottom of the steps, trying desperately to calm myself down. I looked up into the blackness of the attic.

A chill ran down my spine. It seemed as if cold was pouring out of the dark opening. I raised my right foot. It seemed to go in slow motion. I set it on the first step, and the steps rocked a little. I lifted my left foot. I placed it on the next step. WHAM! I jumped off the steps and ran a few steps back. My breath seemed to speed up extremely fast in the past second. Somebody slammed the front door downstairs. That's it, nothing to worry about, just somebody entering the house. I went back to the stairs, took a deep breath, and started heading up into the darkness of the attic where I would find out what would happen during the quest to save my best friend.
