Soon we got to a point where we had to stop for camp. We all made camp and went to eat dinner. There was a huge fire which we would sacrifice our food in it. We all said blessings to Artemis of course and if we had a godly parent, then we would say something to them too. I was in a very good mood. I am every night. Everyone in the hunt is family. Well except Percy. We all went to our tents and I saw Percy following us. I was gunna ask him what was wrong but then I remembered Artemis say that he had to share a tent with us. Great. We got in our tent and I was on the end sleeping next to Bianca, with Thalia next to her and Percy was at our feet.

"Okay," I said, trying to lay some ground rules. "So here is how things are gunna work out. You can't touch our stuff, touch us, look at us, or talk to us. Understand?" I said. Percy smirked. Thalia rolled her eyes.

"Sheesh Annabeth. Okay so Percy, she was right about not touching us or our stuff. That will lead you into some serious trouble. But you can look at us and talk to us." She said. I sighed.

"Can we just go to bed?" I asked. Bianca sighed.

"Fine. Come on." And we all fell asleep.

That night I had a really weird dream. I was tied up squirming on the floor and I was watching two people fight. One of them I knew for a fact was Kronos. It was his presence that affected me like from the last war. And the other guy was….Percy? They were both fighting for their lives. Kronos knocked Percy on the ground.

"Give up, Jackson. Or else she gets it." He said pointing to me. Percy growled.

"Don't touch her." He said.

"Do you want her to die? I'm a titan. I have all the power in the world. It would be pointless not to give up. And if you don't you might want to start saying your goodbyes." He said. Percy looked tempted to give up. I wanted to yell at him. He couldn't give up! I don't care if I died, he couldn't be such a coward.

Kronos snarled. "Too late." Then he walked up to Percy and stabbed him right in the small of his back. Percy screamed in agony and fell to the ground. I gasped. I think that tears were forming in my eyes. Kronos was making his way toward me.

"Now it's your turn." He said. Right before he would kill me I woke up screaming. Percy did too. At the exact same time. We were both sweating and breathing hard. Percy and I looked at each other.

"Did you have a dream about….?" He asked. I nodded.

"Uh-huh." I said.

"With Kronos and…." He started.

"Ya." I said. He looked me over one last time.

"Well, I'm glad that you are alright." He said before he lay down. I nodded and lay down too.

We were quiet for a while. "You are okay….right?" he asked. It sounded like he was trying to reassure himself.

"Yes. Why wouldn't I be?" I asked.

"Well you are a demi-god. Sometimes dreams have actual effects on us." He said.

"Oh….well are you okay?" I asked. I don't know why I did. I didn't care if he was okay or not.

"I'm fine." He said. I nodded. But there was something that was bothering me.

"Hey…Jackson. I was just wondering. Your Achilles spot. Is it the small of your back?" He rolled over to look at me.

"How did you know that?" he asked.

"That where Kronos stabbed you and you died after that. I knew that you were invincible." I said. Percy sighed and nodded.

"Just don't tell anybody. No one is supposed to know that." He said.

"I won't." I said.

"And don't kill me either." He said. I smirked.

"No promises." I said. Percy smiled and we fell asleep again without another word. In the morning I noticed that everyone was out of the tent. I left and noticed the girls were shooting arrows. Percy was sword fighting with a dummy. He saw me and smiled. I looked around to make sure nobody saw that and walked over to him.
"Listen, Jackson. Whatever happened last night was nothing. No-thing. I don't care if you think those dreams were connected somehow, but no. I am not getting into trouble because of some chemistry with a dream. Got it?" I asked, poking his chest. He rolled his eyes and nodded.

"Sure, Annabeth." And he went back to fighting. He wasn't half bad. I realized that I was staring at him, watching him fight. He noticed too, he looked at me and smirked.

"Like what you see? I was just about to take my shirt off too. I mean, it's getting pretty hot." He said. I rolled my eyes in disgust.

"If you did that, Artemis would kill you." I said. I was about to turn when I hesitated.

"You know what? Why don't you go ahead and do that. I would love to see what Artemis would do to you." I said. Percy smiled. I turned on my heels and went to go shoot some targets. When I got to the shooting range, I set up between Bianca and Thalia. I was so mad at Percy that I was shooting fast. We aren't supposed to shoot fast. Bianca and Thalia know that when I am mad, I shoot fast.

"Whoa…what's got you like that?" Bianca said. I scoffed.

"Percy Jackson. He will kill me by the time this stupid test is over." I said. I didn't know what Artemis was thinking. We are all loyal to her. None of us will fall for a guy. Especially, Percy Jackson.

Thalia sighed. "Give him a chance, Annabeth." She said.

"No." I spat out. Thalia sighed and continued shooting.

"Well, you better slow down unless you want Artemis to question you." Thalia said, while she was shooting arrows.

"Ya, you know what happened last time when she thought something got Kristy down. Poor girl was humiliated." Bianca said.

One time Kristy wasn't feeling like her usual bubbly self, so Artemis made us all sit down and listen to Kristy. Turns out the thing that was on her mine, was really embarrassing. She didn't talk to anyone for weeks. I sighed and nodded. I glanced back at Percy, and he did have his shirt off. He was sweating and working really hard. After a few minutes I found myself staring at him. I caught myself before anyone else did. I continued working…a little slower this time. Soon we got everything together and started to move. I knew that soon we would be to where the girl was. I wonder who she was. Or why she was in danger. I was listening to Percy and Thalia talk about their old life, before Thalia was a hunter.

"So how is Grover doing?" Thalia asked. Percy smiled.

"He is doing awesome. Did you hear that he was the lord of the wild?" Percy asked. Thalia stared at Percy.

"How?" She asked. Percy smiled.

"Well, we found Pan, first of all. He was in the labyrinth, and we saw him die. Or fade, I guess. It was kind of sad. But before he did fade, he told Grover to be the lord of the wild. Grover was ecstatic." Percy said. Thalia smiled.

"I miss him." She whispered. Percy put an arm around her and squeezed her in a very sisterly way.

"It's alright, Thals. He misses you too, though. And who knows. Maybe something will happen and the three of us will all be together again Just like old times." Percy said. I smiled at the way that Percy was comforting Thalia. They were obviously close. Something was tugging the pit of my stomach. It was a new feeling, but I defiantly knew it. Jealousy.

I didn't know if it was because I think that Percy will steal Thalia from me, or that Percy likes Thalia so much. It's defiantly that Percy may steal Thalia. Why would I be jealous if Percy liked her? I shouldn't be jealous anyway…Percy likes her as a sister. I shouldn't be jealous, period. I walked up next to Thalia.

"Who's Grover?" I asked.

"A satyr. He is Percy's best friend." Thalia said.

"You're best friend is a satyr?" I asked.

"Yep. When I meet him, he was assigned to protect me. I overheard him and Chiron, from camp half-blood, talking about me right after I had a monster attack. I was 12 then." He explained.

"You're first monster attack was when you were 12?" I asked.

"Well, the first time I witnessed a monster, no. First attack, yes. When I was little a Cyclops was stalking me. The monster that attacked me was a fury." He said. I looked at him wide-eyed.

"A f-fury?" I asked.

"Ya….then I fought a Minotaur. And both of those were without training." He said.

Thalia smirked. "Trying to show off, Percy?" Percy laughed.

"Well, I do anything I can to impress the ladies." He said grinning at me. I rolled my eyes. But I smiled. It was the first time I smiled at a joke that he made. This doesn't mean that we are friends or anything. Nope. I still can't stand that son of a sea god. Percy smiled back at me, and I looked away. Thalia was standing there awkwardly next to us.

"So…just curious, how did you kill Kronos last year?" Thalia asked. Percy looked down.

"Just…..Luke- I mean Luck. Just Luck." He stuttered. I stared at both of them, confused. Thalia looked sad.

"Luke?" She asked. Percy shook his head.

"No, I said Luck. Not Luke." He said. Thalia looked angry all of the sudden.

"Percy, I can handle it. Did it have anything to do with Luke?" She asked. Percy looked down again, and nodded.

"Who is Luke?" I asked. Thalia started to walk away. She looked like she was on the verge of tears. Thalia Grace…..crying. This must be really bad.

"What is it, Percy?" I asked. Percy looked at me and grinned.

"What?" I asked.

"You called me Percy. Not, Jackson. Yep, we are now on first name basis." He said. I rolled my eyes.

"This is a tense moment. Just tell me what happened with this Luke guy." I said.

"Luke was one of Thalia's best friends. He helped her and Grover away from monsters forever. When I meet the three, Luke was nice. He was acting all friendly and everything. I came back from a quest that year. I'm sure you heard about it, Zeus' lightning bolt getting stolen. But I came back from that quest and then when I got back Luke takes me deep into the woods, for sword fighting practice. He told me that I wasn't supposed to make it back from the quest alive. Then he takes out a pit scorpion and sets it on my knee and then walks away. So Luke turned evil, and soon enough, he hosted Kronos' body. Well, in the end Luke died a hero. I gave him a knife and he stabbed himself in his Achilles spot so Kronos wouldn't take over the world. Kronos, of course, is not dead. He is immortal. But Luke…..Luke is. It was like an elephant sitting on Thalia's chest every time that she saw Luke. It's not easy watching your friend turn evil." Percy said. My mouth was on the ground by the end of the story.

"Wow." I said. It was all I could think of.

"Ya." Percy said. The rest of the trip, the three of us did not talk. Soon that day we set up camp. We all lay down in our tents.

"Thalia? I'm sorry for bringing up Luke. I know it must have been hard for you." Percy said. Thalia shook her head.

"No, Perce. I brought it up. It's not your fault." She said. Then she turned to me. "So, did Percy tell you the story?" She asked. I nodded.

"Pretty incredible, right?" she asked. I nodded again. I couldn't say anything about it.

"But, in the end, Luke got what he deserved." Thalia said miserably.

"Thalia," Percy started. "I didn't like Luke either, but he died a hero in the end. He sacrificed himself, so people wouldn't live in a world where Kronos existed. He probably did it for you, more than anyone." Thalia was getting teary again.

"I'm going to bed." She said.

"I'm going to step outside." I said. Everyone nodded. I walked outside and grabbed my bow and arrows. I was about to take off when someone stopped me.

"Where are you going?" Percy asked.

"Hunting. I need something to calm me down." I said. I paused. "That was really sweet, what you said to Thalia." I said. Percy nodded.

"Thanks." He said. I turned on my heels and was about to go when he grabbed my arm.

"You can't go hunting. You might get hurt." He said. As soon as he said it, his face got pink. I found it amusing.

"So?" I asked.

"Well, no one will be there to help you." He said.

"So?" I asked again. Percy just stared at me. I sighed.

"Fine. As much as it kills be to say this. But you won't leave me alone until I do…..do you want to come hunting with me?" I asked. Percy smiled and nodded. He walked beside me and was about to leave when I stopped him.

"Wait, aren't you going to get your weapon?" I asked.

"I already have it." He said. Confused, I followed him out into the woods.
