Hey, I'm back! Do you know how full your inbox gets after a week? And that FOUR STAR hotel doesn't have free internet, and a water park does! Well, enough of my ranting and on with the story. There, I made it longer this time by about three hundred words. :D Enjoy!

Chapter 3

Annabeth's POV

There, on the three-legged stool, sat the mummified oracle. It's only been what a few months since the last time it spoke to me. This is just going too fast. I slowly walked towards it.

"Oh, great Oracle, how do I find Perceus Jackson?"

I opened its mouth and a swirling green mist came out, and the room filled with the smell of serpents.

"A god and two others shall go,

The location, the Olympian must show,

They shall find what they seek,

And true love shall meet its peak,

Lost to –"

Wait, why did it stop? The mummy closed its mouth and sat there like nothing had happened. As I was going downstairs, I was trying to decipher the prophesy. The first line of course, means that three people will go on the quest. The second means that –

"Well did you get the prophesy?" a female voice said. I looked up to see my mom sitting next to Poseidon, who was STILL eating his cheesecake. How could he be eating when his son is being held captive? And where was Hephaestus?

"I got the prophesy. And did Lord Hephaestus leave already?"

"Yes, he did. Now, tell us the prophesy." Athena ordered.

"Before I do, why are you here? I thought you didn't care about Percy."

"It's true I don't really care about him, but I do care about my daughter's happiness. And in this case your happiness is him. Well we don't have all day here, tell us the prophesy," she said.

"Okay, it says,

"A god and two others shall go,

The location, the Olympian must show,

They shall find what they seek,

And true love shall meet its peak,

Lost to…

Then it just stopped speaking."

The immortals were, including Chiron, were all speechless for a moment.

Poseidon was the first to speak up. "I'll leave this situation to you two living computers while I go get Apollo." Then he left in a flash of light.

"This has never happened before, I wonder if there's something wrong with the Oracle. Or is it just because we weren't meant to hear the whole prophesy, maybe the Fates stopped it." Chiron said.

"We can figure that out later. First, let's work with what we have. A god and two others shall go. There's another first, a god going on a quest. And I will be the one to go since the next line says an Olympian has to show the location." Athena smiled.

"I thought you hated Percy. So why are you helping us find him?" I wondered out loud.

"Well, I care about my daughter's happiness and health. And in this case, to get you happy and eating regularly again, we need to get him," Mom replied.

"Yeah," then I broke down crying.

My mom gathered me in her arms before I hit the ground, "It's going to be alright, we'll find him. I never liked Calypso either."

"How is it going to be alright? He's gone and we don't have a complete prophesy and…"

Athena interrupted, "This is worse than I thought, you aren't yourself anymore. We have to get to him immediately."

Chiron cleared his throat, "Speaking of the prophesy, we still need to make sense of it. The next two lines mean that you will find Percy and uh, how should I put this?" He paused to think for a while, "It will probably be about you and Percy. He loves you the same way you love him." (A/N: I'm sorry if I said that earlier in the story, I'm just too lazy to check it.)

"Annabeth, go pack your belongings and get a good sleep, we will set off tomorrow. And who will be going with us?" Athena said.

Crap! I didn't think of that, so much for a daughter of Athena. "I guess we could have –"

"No! I'm going." Malcolm entered through the window since the front door was locked. "I swore on the River Styx that I would help get Percy back if I got the chance, and I'm not breaking it."

Wow, so many people care about my joy. I didn't know that. I mean, I'm just one person.

"Yes, we do care for you, Annabeth." Athena smiled. "And is 'crap' your favorite word now? Poseidon told me about earlier."

Fine, damn. Got that, Mom?

"Uh… yeah, of course we do, seeing you all depressed makes people feel down themselves." Malcolm grinned. "And for the past month you've been looking like a hobo."

"Hey! Watch it." I thought for a moment, "Yeah, I guess I have. Did I smell like one, too?"

He shook his head, "No."

Mom cleared her throat, "Well, you two should go get some sleep, we have a big day tomorrow."

Percy's POV

It's been about a month. And I remember how I got here:

After Annabeth and I kissed, gods, how I love her. Her face. Her smile. Her eyes. Everything about her. But especially the feel of her lips on mine. I wonder why she did that. Did she love me back? But more importantly, did she escape the volcano? Anyways, after Mt. St. Helens exploded, I landed on an island. A girl named Calypso found me and told me that I was on Ogygia. After that, I passed out. When I woke up again, I was bound in celestial bronze chains to a boulder. Two gods, Janus and another god, were standing guard in front of me.

Just then, Calypso came to me and said, "Your friends are finally coming. Everything is going according to plan."

My friends? This could only mean one thing: Annabeth was safe and alive.
