Percy POV: It all goes wrong.
We were all getting ready for capture the flag, and Annabeth and I were on opposing teams, as usual.
"You ready for a fight?" She whispered in my ear.
"You're on, wise girl." I replied.
My team was the Poseidon cabin, of course, along with Hermes, Apollo, Demeter and Aphrodite. Annabeth's team consisted of the Athena cabin, Ares, Hephaestus and the Zeus and Hades cabin. In other words, we were going to lose.
When the game started I sent Zach to go find the flag on the opposing team, and I would keep guard of our flag.
After about 30 minutes I saw one of the Apollo guys drag Zach, Travis Stoll, and someone from the Demeter cabin out of the woods towards the infirmary. They all seemed to have a single arrow that passed through all of their shoulders, making them look like a human shish-kabob.
"We had the flag, but that little Hephaestus girl Ava shot all of us with one arrow!" Travis screamed.
"You shouldn't underestimate her!" Zach managed in a painful tone.
"Annabeth has been teaching that kid way to much!" I chuckled, but as soon as they had left, I heard screams come from the distance. And they were not victory cries. Something was terribly wrong.
I ran in the direction of the screams, and I saw a enormous group of monsters. There stood 2 Empousai, a minotaur, and 3 Lastrygonian giants in front of Annabeth's team. I noticed that Annabeth had told Ava to stand behind a tree and shoot her electric arrows at the monsters. I watched as Ava shot one giant, and it turned into golden dust.
I joined them as they charged the monsters. I noticed that everyone from my team has also joined in. We fought and we managed to kill the Empousai, and the other giants, but the Minotaur didn't seem interested in fighting. It charged in the direction of Ava, and picked her up.
"No!" Annabeth screamed. "Put her down!" But, she was too late.
The Minotaur's hand burst into flames, and Ava disappeared, just the way my mom had when I was 12. I knew she wasn't dead, but I did know that she had just been , the minotaur evaporated. and Ava was gone.
"NO!" Annabeth cried. I knew she had a bond with Ava, because she was so young, just as Annabeth had been when she arrived at camp
"Annabeth, she's not dead! She was abducted by the minotaur, just like my mom was!" I said. Annabeth started to cry.
I heard Chiron's hooves clop in the distance, surely he would allow us to go on a quest to get Ava.
"Chiron, a group of monsters just attacked. A minotaur just took Ava, and then it left." Kate announced. Chiron's face darkened.
"Someone find Rachel, we need a prophecy." Chiron announced.
The entire camp sprinted towards the big house to find Rachel. Kate found her in her room, unpacking her things.
"Hey you guys! How are Percy and Annabeth? I heard they got engaged!" Rachel said excitedly. No one spoke, and Rachel looked confused.
"Am I missing something?" she asked.
"Rachel, we need a prophecy. Now." Annabeth said in the most serious tone I have ever heard her use. "Ava has been kidnapped and we are going to need a quest to get her back." She explained.
"Alright…" Rachel began. Suddenly Rachel nearly fainted, and Kate caught her. Her eyes began to glow, and she started to recite something in a very supernatural voice.
"6 shall go to the under lying Hell,
to battle malevolent creatures that have left their realm.
7 shall return unsuccessful, for one was not saved, t
he lost one remains in a heaven worthy cave."
Rachel recited. She then seemed to awaken, and then looked at the group of campers in front of her.
"What did I say?" She asked. Most times, when Rachel recited a prophecy she was unable to remember what she had said.
I looked over at Annabeth. "That settles it." She said. "We're going to the underworld to save Ava."
No one questioned Annabeth. We all knew she was right.
"Okay, so the prophecy said we need 6 people right?" I asked, "So if Annabeth and I go, that's two. We need 4 more people." I said.
Nico raised is hand. "If we're going to the under world, you're gonna need me." He said. He had a good point.
"If Nico is going, then so am I." Thalia stated.
"Kate and I will go to." Zach said, looking at Kate. She nodded.
"Well, we're set. We've got 6 people." Annabeth started, "We're all going to meet at the dining pavilion at dawn tomorrow." She announced.
We walked back to my cabin together, holding hands. Annabeth's expression was extremely distressed. I knew she was incredibly concerned for Ava's safety.
"She's so little, Percy. She won't know what to do." Annabeth said, starting to cry. We were sitting on the porch of my cabin. "What if the prophecy meant we won't be able to save her, Percy?" She said.
"Annabeth, listen to me. We are going to get Ava, and everyone is going to be fine. I promise." I told her, rubbing her back. "Let's go inside and get some sleep, okay?" I suggested. Annabeth nodded her head, and we walked into my cabin and we both fell asleep as soon as our heads hit our pillows.
please review! :)
