Chapter One
Percy's POV
The doors close with an ominous CLANG. I glance around Bunker 9 nervously, this is the first time I've been in here alone, and it feels like I'm being watched. Seeing nothing out of the ordinary, I dismiss the feeling as paranoia at being "underground" after Gaia caused us so much grief. Not to mention THAT place. I shudder involuntarily at the thought of that wretched pit. Don't think about it. I tell myself firmly. I sigh, and start looking around, though I wasn't really sure what I was looking for. After a while, I see an old piece of paper on the ground. Well, not nearly as old as some of the other papers in the Bunker, but not new. I had never noticed it before. Not that I had been here more than once or twice. It looked like it hadn't been worn down too much, so I picked it up. It was a drawing of the Argo II, in what looked like crayon. It was incredibly detailed, for a crayon drawing, but it was clearly a drawing, not a blueprint. Strange, I thought. Maybe I'll ask Leo when he... When he gets back. At this, I bit my lip determined not to cry. If he had seen me crying, Leo would have used all the corny jokes he knows, and he knows quite a lot, to try to cheer me up. I close my eyes, and neatly fold the drawing up. Leo's not dead, and I WILL see him again. Taking a deep breath, I compose myself, and reopen the doors to the bunker, stepping out into the clearing. Once again, I'm struck by the inexplicable feeling that I'm being watched. Glancing at the sun, I realize that it will be lights out soon, and hurry back to my cabin.

The next day, I realize that I didn't have any nightmares last night. At breakfast, I find out that Annabeth didn't either. Strange. I ponder this while eating my blue fruit loops. Suddenly, I hear a commotion from the Hermes table. Glancing over, I'm shocked to see that the new kid, Dylan, has been claimed. At least, I'm shocked to see that he's been claimed that by Poseidon.
-this line break is named Phil-
I sigh, and look around Bunker 9. Ever since Dylan was claimed, it has become my refuge. It was the one place he can't follow. He's even allowed to come and go in the Big House as he pleases. The only reason he can't come here is because only the Hephaestus cabin and the Seven know how to come in. Dylan doesn't even know this place exists, thankfully. If he were to find out about the Bunker, he'd probably brainwash everyone into telling him how to get in. He'd already brainwashed them into ignoring me, and treating him like he saved Olympus twice. I laugh bitterly. I never really wanted all that attention, but literally, Annabeth is the only one who reliably talks to me. Piper's often too busy managing the Aphrodite cabin, and Jason isn't always here. I sigh, wondering if maybe I should go to Camp Jupiter for a bit. Yeah, that'll do. At Camp Jupiter, I'm still on good terms with everyone. I smile, pleased at my solution, and leave the bunker with the intention of going to CJ as soon as I told Annabeth and Chiron where I was going.
-this is Bob and Phil's sister, Mary-
As I walked toward the big house, I came across a couple at the edge of the woods, kissing. The girl was most likely a daughter of Athena, because she had blonde hair. The boy, with his black hair similarly colored, but much shorter than my own, could only be one person. Dylan. Dylan's pale skin and weak, scrawny body (not resembling Leo's in the slightest), were enough to set my nerves on end. I didn't even need to see the pale green eyes, filled with cruelness and arrogance. I was about to go around them when Dylan spoke. "Annie, baby, when are you going to dump that loser Jackson?" I froze, straining my ears, waiting for Annabeth to knock him out for even thinking of stealing her away from me.
She didn't. Instead, she laughed, and replied, "Soon, Dylan, soon. We can be together very soon." I didn't wait for them to start kissing again. I just turned and ran, back the way I had come, into Bunker 9. Once I got there, the full force of what I had seen hit me. Even Annabeth had been brainwashed by that- that- no. I won't call him a pig. That would be an insult to pigs. I run deep into the bunker, much farther than even Leo had been (hey, I was there a lot often with time to burn) and sank against a wall, sobbing. Then, I heard the door opening, and knew that Annabeth must have seen me. Quickly, I ran even deeper, so that unless she knew her way around, she would never find me. I went to my "room", where I had been stashing things such as food and clothing, and quickly changed out of my CHB t-shirt. I packed my bag with food, clothing, and other necessities (like nectar and ambrosia) and took off my necklace. Quickly, I wrote a quick note, not that anyone would ever read it, and laid my necklace on top. Then, shouldering my backpack, I turned and hurried through the hidden exit, never to return.
-because I know you'll be wondering, here's what the note said;
Dear Chiron,
I can't take it anymore. Even Annabeth has fallen under that επεξεργασία's spell. So, I'm leaving. Don't bother looking for me - I'm not coming back.
Sincerely,
Percy
