CHIRONS POV:

"Where in the world are Percy and Annabeth?" I said, becoming quite irritated. They are never late for these events, let alone skip them.

"I don't know, Chiron. But I don't doubt that they will show up." Grover replied.

"I don't need your opinion." I said back to him. Grover is really annoying. Honestly, that is one of the reasons why I want him gone. He just HAS to get it in the way of everything, which isn't going to help us. It will only slow us down.

"Ok…sorry…" I could hear the hurt in his voice, but honestly didn't care. All I could pay attention to right now was the voice in my head that had spoken to me previously, telling me Grover needed to be finished.

Chiron… you must do as I say. Listen to me, and do what I say.

"I don't even know who you are! Why should I listen to you!"

Because, Chiron, I am the ruler. I rule you, I rule this camp, I rule everybody, everything. You must find someone. Someone to kill another member in your camp.

"Kill? Kill who?"

A filthy satyr, named Grover.

I was confused, "Why does Grover need to die? He's harmless!"

Oh, you have much to learn. I guess you haven't found out yet.

"Found out about what?"

He has a secret… power. He has not yet grasped his true potential.

"What can he do?"

Something, very dangerous, and can kill massive amounts of people at one time. That isn't a good thing to possess now, is it?

"Well… no…"

Good. But to kill him, you must find someone brave. Someone close to him. Someone who knows him very well.

"Percy….."

Yes! Exactly who I was looking for. Now go. Deliver him the news. It needs to be done as soon as possible.

"But… why? Why can't we just lock him up somewhere? Or banish him? I am not going to make another camp member kill someone else! They are both young! Very young! That is just…wrong. Completely mad."

Chiron. You WILL do as I say, or I will sentence you to the underworld for eternal torture. Now I must go.

That voice… I heard it the day of the news about Kronos reforming. I thought it was a coincidence, but no… why would Kronos be talking to me? Just so I wouldn't forget the conversation we had, I wrote it down and put it in a safe spot in my cabin.

Now… I had to get back to training.

Percy's POV:

I woke up from the sound of rain pattering on the roof of my cabin. I had the weirdest dream. I looked at my clock, 5:30. I'd only been sleeping for 2 hours? …hm. I slowly got up, trying not to wake up Annabeth.

Too late.

She was already awake. "Hey."

"Hey." I said back, "How long have you been awake?"

"I never fell asleep." She said, and then she got up "Couldn't. I couldn't stop thinking and I could never shut my eyes." And she let out a huge sigh.

"Speaking of that… I had the weirdest dream… like woah." I said, getting a weird look from Annabeth.

"About…?"

"I don't know… It's really hard to explain. But it was about Chiron, and Grover."

This seemed to spike her interest, "What happened?"

"Well, he was talking to someone, I couldn't hear their voice, but I heard his, but not the whole conversation. They were talking about killing Grover."

"What was he saying?" She asked me.

"I can't really remember, but I do know how we can find out."

. . .

"Percy are you sure this is a good idea?" I asked, concerned that we would get caught.

"Of course. Chiron said he hid it in his cabin, so that's where we are going to look."

We headed up the front steps to Chiron's cabin, and I turned the knob.

Locked.

"Good thing I know how to pick locks." I said, and pulled a paperclip out of my pocket. I honestly had no idea why I had a paperclip in my pocket. I stuck it in hole in the doorknob and started wiggling around.

Annabeth said, "Percy, training ends in half an hour. I don't think we should do this."

Of course, right as she finished her sentence the door clicked, and I turned the knob and it opened. We walked inside, and I slowly shut the door behind us.

His cabin was huge. There was one bed in the middle of the room that look like the size of 3 King-Sized beds put together. It was all so plain though, just some old wooden furniture, and some painted walls. It was dull, yet it was very neat and tidy.

"Wow this cabins so… simple. And ugly." Annabeth said, laughing.

"My thoughts exactly." I said, laughing back.

"So where do you think that paper would be?" Annabeth asked me.

"I don't know… but I guess we should just start looking. It probably won't take long, I mean it's so empty in here."

I started looking through drawers and cabinets, opening and closing, opening and closing. Mostly everything was just empty.

"What the heck?!" I said, after looking and re-looking for about 10 minutes.

I started walking over to Annabeth, when I tripped and fell flat onto the ground.

"Umm … there's nothing even there." Annabeth said, laughing.

I got up and looked at the hardwood floor, and there was a small gap in the side of it. I guess that's what my shoe got caught in. I knelt down to look closer and the hole could fit a few fingers in it. I put my hand in it, and of course, it lifted.

"Oh what a surprise. A hidden floorboard." I said sarcastically.

I took it out and put it on the floor next to me.

"Can you flip on the lights Annabeth?"

She walked over and turned on the lights. They were dim and didn't really help.

I reached inside, and felt around, until I felt the paper.

"Well that was easy." I said. I pulled it out of the floor, put it in my pocket, and placed the floorboard back how it was. "Now let's go. Training's probably done."

I grabbed her arm and pulled her with me, and I locked the door from the inside before we left, just to be safe. We started walking back to my cabin, when huge crowds of people started filing out from the training room.

"I suggest we both just go back to our cabins until we go to the dining pavilion for dinner." I said.

"Yeah, I was thinking that too. See you sooon."
