Author's Note: So, I was thinking, and I decided to put in a Camp Half-Blood P.O.V. Wait, this is the second time Percy's dissapeared...Oh, he is SO screwed.
Annabeth
Annabeth groaned, as the sunlight streaming through the curtain hit her face. She hadn't slept much the night before, despite being tired from the game of Capture the Flag. Demigod nightmares had pervaded her thoughts, and the trip in Tartarus merely made them more terrible to behold.
This time, however, it was different. She didn't feel like this was just a nightmare, one meant to scare her out of her wits. Annabeth believed this one held actual meaning...Which would have been useful, if she could recall what exactly happened in her dreamscape. No matter how hard she tried though, she could only remember one thing; Darkness.
Shaking herself from her own thoughts, she lazily dragged herself out of bed, even though every muscle in her body ached in protest. Not bothering enough to change out of her clothes from the night before, Annabeth walked out of her cabin and to the dining pavilion, still in a daze.
She went to the grey Athena table, and mumbled something unintelligible under her breath, when a plate full of food appeared in front of her. She picked it up and scraped the best part of it into the brazier, sending a small prayer to her mother. She then sat back down and shamelessly dug in, finishing within minutes.
Maybe by now it was just an instinct by now, but Annabeth found herself scanning the area for Percy. After all they'd been through, the two were practically inseparable; And it all started with a certain goddess. Annabeth decided to dwell away from these thoughts as they would lead to rather morbid memories.
Deciding that Percy was lazy, and still asleep, she mumbled a quick excuse to her half-siblings before practically sprinting to the Poseidon cabin. She knocked on the door and waited for a few minutes, before opening it herself. She wasn't necessarily patient, when it involved the safety of her Seaweed Brain.
Annabeth found the cabin completely normal, despite her suspicions; Dirty clothes scattered all over, candy wrappers littering the floor, and the smell of old socks mixed with saltwater. She tried not to gag, her eyes scanned the interior of the whole room, only to find that the cabin was completely empty of living beings.
Panic took into overdrive, as she started to remember when Hers had kidnapped her boyfriend. What if something like that had happened again? Percy wouldn't be anywhere else at this time of the morning. Though she automatically felt tears gather, she blinked them away and stormed to the archery rang where she saw Chiron.
"Chiron!" Annabeth demanded, forcing her voice to be strong.
"What is it, child?" Chrion asked, with a thick mask of calmness.
"Percy's gone!" Annabeth practically shouted, before sprinting off.
Perhaps it was just her conscious, but she found herself sitting near Thalia's pine tree. Annabeth was subconsciously reminded of when she was just a little girl, when her, Thalia, and Luke were a trio. She could recall how terrible that night had been, especially after losing her friend due to self sacrifice. She was back now, but it wasn't the same.
Now, Thalia was immortal, Luke was dead, and Annabeth was broken.
Even though these thoughts were especially painful, her mind kept drifting back to Percy. She couldn't help but wonder if he was alright, if he was trying to get back home to his friends and family. Annabeth was almost sure that he was, after all, loyalty is his fatal flaw, the thing that's supposed to make or break the person.
In this case, Annabeth thought. Percy better hope it's make.
Then, the worst thought came to her. What if Percy didn't survive? He had recovered the Master Bolt, the Golden Fleece, tricked Atlas, gotten through the labyrinth, led many battles, defeated Kronos, helped defeat Gaea, killed hundreds of monsters, and even survived Tartarus...But what if he couldn't handle what came his way this time?
Annabeth would look for Percy, just like she did the last time. She would also judo flip him like last time too; He deserved it, in her opinion. Despite all of this, however, one sight could make her smile. Seeing the familiar spiky hair, shocking blue eyes, and punk clothing walking up Half-Blood hill boosted her mood somewhat after all.
"Hey Annie," Thalia greeted her best friend. "What's happening?"
"First, never call me that," Annabeth scolded. "Second, shouldn't you be with the hunters?"
Thalia shrugged, "Lady Artemis gave me a break after getting wounded on a Hunt. So spill."
"Percy's missing, again," Annabeth explained, the grief hitting her full force.
Thalia's eyes blazed, "Once I get a hold of that Kelp Head, he'll have bigger problems than the monsters."
Annabeth smiled slightly at her friend's antics, but it was short lived. She knew that she would be reunited with Percy, somehow. She knew that yesterday hadn't been the last day she had seen her stupid Seaweed Brain. No. Annabeth would find him, then make him pay for leaving, even if it wasn't his fault; just like Thalia suggested.
Oh Seaweed Brain, you just can't stay out of trouble, can you?
Author's Note: Okay, I apolgize for the quality of this chapter. :P It's more of a necessary filler...So... Adios!
