Chapter Ten

Percy POV

"Annabeth, Do you think things will turn out like the Trojan war, Poseidon vs. Athena?"

"I don't know seaweed brain, I just know I'll be fighting by your side"

"Why?"

"Because you're my friend, seaweed brain. Anymore stupid questions?"

"Lay of my friend!" Annabeth said, punching the bully in the face as Percy stared at her, gaping.

"I'm sorry…"

"I'm glad you're not a guinea pig." Annabeth said, smiling, and tackled Percy with a quick hug.

"It's alright..." Percy said, stroking her hair as she sobbed in his shoulders. Percy willed the current to take them back to the ship.

What am I doing? I've let Jealousy turn me into a monster. Grabbing Riptide and my sweater, I whistled for a hippocampus. Rainbow appeared out of the depths, whinnying. I was just about to mount it when Andromeda appeared.

"Where are you going Percy?" she asked.

"I'm going to save Annabeth. Sorry Andromeda, I'll hang out with you another day…" I said, getting ready to depart.

"What does she mean to you anyway?" she asked, her tone suddenly sharp.

"What do you mean? She's my best friend! I'm not going to sit around while she gets tormented by Luke."

"She loves Luke. Don't you get it? She DOESN'T want to be rescued."

For a moment I faltered. Then, I brushed aside the doubt, and said, "I still have to find out what's happening. See you!"

Rainbow began the fast ascent to the surface.

"Santa Monica, Rainbow. I'll have to ask Andromeda's dad, old Nerus, where to find Luke."

Rainbow whinnied, and veered of towards Santa Monica pier.

"Get up you old drunk… Where can I find Luke?" I said Nerus, holding him by his dirty beard.

"Aww not you again! You son of that upstart!" he paused, and said, "Alright the Princess Andromeda is in the Sea of Monsters, so good luck finding her!"

He grinned and displayed his yellow teeth to the fullest extent, and dove into the sea.

I paused, nostalgia overwhelming me as I thought of Annabeth and the Quest for the Golden Fleece. My heart ached and I realized how much I missed her. Her smile, her lovely grey eyes, and her shiny blond hair with appeared to soak up and sun's golden rays. That kind of beauty could not be compared to Andromeda's.

I pulled out a sack of Golden Drachmas, and flung it into the sea.

"Father, hear my prayer. I need to save Annabeth, please sent me transport!"

The sack seemed to melt into the ocean, disappearing in a flash. The sea churned, and from its depths rose a magnificent chariot that was pulled by two gigantic Sea Horses. I gasped. It was my father's Chariot, the one that my father rode on while traversing the endless oceans. I got into the chariot, and I could hear what the Sea Horses were saying.

"Where to, boss?"

"Boss, where to?"

"The sea of monsters, please"
