I Get Attacked and Get a Quest

APOV

"Class Dismissed." Chiron announces as the bell rings. Everyone scatters out of the classroom and I pack up quickly, say a goodbye to Chiron and walk out.

As I walk towards the main entrance I hear someone call my name. I turn around and spot a Raven-Haired boy. I wait as he walks up to me.

"Hey." He says.

"Hey." I answer back.

"Walk you home?" He offers. I nod and we walk out the door.

Suprisingly, we walk in comfortable silence.

The sound of Birds as they chirp. The wind blowing in our faces.

As we walk to the next street.I see a man staring at us as he takes something out of his pocket, it looks like a weapon. I stop dead in my tracks and Percy takes notice of my sudden movement. His Sea-Green eyes look at me with concern. "Are you okay, Annabeth?" He asks.

I give him a slight nod, not taking my eyes off that man. I hear Percy sigh as he asks again, grabbing my shoulders and made me face him.

"Seriously, what's wrong Annabeth?"

I tear my gaze from his concern-filled sea- green eyes that bore into my boring, grey ones and I notice the man wasn't there anymore.

I turn back, expecting to see Percy look at me with concern, but I see him fighting off a Fury.

I pull out my knife to help, but before I could attack, I feel something cold, hard press against my neck. I turn and face a Manticore. I turn back, seeing Percy look at me then stab the Fury on it's shoulder. It gives an ear-piercing scream as it explodes to gold dust. I see Percy get ready for his next attack but the Manticore moves a step back.

"Move and she dies." He threatens, lightly pushing the blade making my neck drop a drop of blood. I yelp in pain as I grab onto his arm.

Percy takes a step back and caps his sword. I hear the monster chuckle as I feel sudden unconsciousness fill me, the last thing I hear though, was Percy screams of my name.

"Annabeth! " I scream. Frantic of what will happen. I see smoke surround her and the Manticore then they disappear before my eyes. I throw my sword to the ground, hearing the sound of clanging as I run to my apartment. I didn't care if I threw riptide on the ground, it would appear in my pocket as it always would. My hands trail to my pocket and I feel a pen in it. Good, I think.

I run into my house and race up the stairs. I shuffle around, looking for my suitecase, I pack for emergencies. I dig from the top of my closet and take a few Drachmas, Mortal cash and some Ambrosia and Nectar.

I throw in a couple of shirts and jeans as I gather my watch/shield that my half-brother, Tyson had made me. I hear the sound of steps coming my way, and I get my stuff together.

"Percy?" My mom asks.

"Yeah?" I respond, double checking everything.

"What's wrong?" My mom asks.

"Annabeth got kidnapped, I have to get to Camp." I say as I grab my backpack and suitcase. I turn around, waiting for her response.

"Well,what are you waiting for? Go and save her!" My mom shouts.

I smile, kiss her on the cheek and run out of the door.

I walk out into the busy streets of New York. Cars bustle by, kids playing their toys, Moms gossiping and Teens chatting animatedly with their friends. Their lives, simple and carefree. I wish for their lives, but sadly, I can't have them.

I whistle for a cab as it passes by and one stops at my feet. I get in and the smell gets to me first. It smells the mixture of Beer and cigarettes. The seats in the front are cluttered with junk and papers.

"Where to kid?" The driver grunts.
"Farm Road 3.141, Long Island." I answer, as I try not to gag at the smell.

"That leads to no where kid." The driver barks.

"If you step on it, I'll make it an extra twenty." I bribe, I don't usually bribe but Annabeth is in danger.

The driver grunts again and speeds off. I twiddle my thumbs nervously, Impatient that time is not going my way. I should've thought a plan when the Fury and Manticore had attacked. Even though it wasn't my fault, it still doesn't absolve me of blame. I should've been the one to be kidnapped.

"Alright." The cab stops and it snaps me out of my thoughts. I get out and give the driver a 20 with a 5.

"Thanks, kid." He smiles as he backs away from the hill.

I grab my bags and walk up the hill, I walk through the gates and head to the Big House.

"Chiron." I say as I put my bags down.

"Ah, Percy, my boy. What are you doing here? It's not even summer." Chiron asks as he shifts from his wheelchair.

"Annabeth's in trouble." I breathe, tiresome and worried about Annabeth.

"What happened?" Chiron asks, worry evident in his voice.

I tell him about the attacked and what had happened. I finish the story and we sit in silence for a minute. My ADHD couldn't take it and I finally break the silence.

"I have to save her!" I say.

Chiron nods in understanding. "Consult the Oracle."

I sigh and walk out of the Big House. I walk slowly to the attic, hoping for time to skip by but I know it won't. I hear stories from people who have had quests and consults the Oracle. The Oracle is an old mummy, who perceives the future of something that might happen.

I walk in the attic, looking for the coffin where the Oracle stays. I find her and walk up as I think how I should ask.

"How can I save Annabeth?" I ask. I see as the body of the mummy starts to shake. I take a step back as green smoke appears from her mouth. I hear a raspy voice answering my question.

Three half- bloods shall head west

One shall know what's best

To save the one they love

True love shall be put to the test

And in the end they shall be blessed

The Oracle stops and it lies back to its place. I think what the Oracle had said, One shall know what's best? I think. And True love shall be put to the test… Better tell Chiron about this.

I run back to the Big House and see Chiron playing Pinochle with Mr.D. It looked like Chiron had won. I walk up seeing Chiron in his full look rather than his wheelchair.

"Oh, look, it's Perry Johnson." Mr.D says as he slurps from his can of coke.

I roll my eyes, as Chiron turns and looks at me.

"Well, what did the Oracle say?" He asks, as he shuffles the deck of cards.

"Um, Three half- bloods shall head west…One shall know what's best...To save the one they love…True love shall be put to the test….

And in the end they shall be blessed." I say as I look at Chiron. The silence fills the air as we think about the Prophecy.

"I'm thinking that one of us should know what's the best way to find Annabeth." I say.

Chiron nods and the silence overtakes us again. "In the end they shall be blessed, should be blessed by the Gods, I suppose." Chiron suggests. I nod.

"Wohoo, Perry's got a quest, you would surely die." Mr.D says sarcastically. I roll my eyes again. I've gotten used to Mr. D sour attitude.

"Oh, and I've IM Thalia, Nico and Grover they should be here shortly." He says as set the new deck on the table.

I nod and head to my cabin, tired after today's events. I walk slowly back to Cabin 3 as I pass by the volleyball courts. I head into my Cabin and plop onto the once-neatly bed and let unconsciousness over take me.

APOV

I open my eyes as I stir from my position. I look around as I try to get up but I feel something pulling me down. I struggle to get free with no avail. I slide down the wall once again. I hope Percy's alright, I think. More worried about him than me.

I hear the door creak open, clearing me of my thoughts. And I see a figure standing there with my knife in its hands.

"Hello, dearie. I see you're finally awake…" As the monster came in more, I see who it is. It's a….

(A/N Okay I'm sorry for the cliffy! I changed the story a little to pre-tense let me know which one you'd rather have, Pre-tense or Past-tense.

And let's have a contest, Who can guess who's the monster? I'll give two hints, first it's not a Manticore or a Fury. Second, the monster is part- snake. The winner who guess it's right will decide how many chapter I will write. Minimum 1-3. Oh, and Please review~ CaseyMarieCarter.)
