Annabeth
I can't believe he yelled at me. Percy has never yelled at me before. I felt like crying. "No, Annabeth!" I scolded myself. "Quit acting like a child of Aphrodite!" To take my mind off of Percy, I decided to go see Piper. We have become pretty good friends, and I felt comfortable talking to her. As I was about to knock on the door, I heard her and Jason talking, so I decided to leave them alone. I wandered aimlessly through the hallways, wondering what to do. I sat down on the floor, and stared at the wall. A little while later, someone came over and sat down beside me. Percy. "I'm sorry I yelled at you." He began. "Did I hear him right? Was he apologizing to me?" I wondered. "I am just so stressed about this stupid quest. All of these dreams are driving me crazy. All the death threats, and…" he stopped. I looked at him. "And…?" I asked. "I shouldn't keep it from you." He said. Percy cleared his throat and began. "I had a dream about Gaea, she said all of the dreams we had were from her. She also said that…that…they were all glimpses of the future."
Percy put his face in his hands. I was stunned. The dreams…they were all about the future? "Percy, it's okay. We will get through this." I assured him. "But what if we don't?" He muttered. "We will!" I said firmly. Percy took his face out of his hands, and hugged me. "I believe you. I just don't want any more people dying on my account…especially you." He whispered in my ear. I choked back a sob. "You won't," I said. We hugged for what seemed like hours. Then someone cleared their throat behind us. We broke away, and I faced the person. Leo was looking embarrassed. "Yes Leo?" I said annoyed. Leo shuffled forward, and started fiddling with his hands. "We are a few hours from reaching the Sea of Monsters." He finally said. I looked at Percy. He gulped, and took my hand. I squeezed it gently. "Okay Leo, thanks for telling us." I said. Leo turned around and fled the scene. I smiled, and turned to Percy. "I'm going to go look at some maps." I said. Percy nodded, and kissed me.
I didn't want to look at maps, but I knew the group would be counting on me. I cursed silently, as I entered my room. I breathed in the sweet smell of wood, and leafed through some scrolls. They were ordered alphabetically so it was easy to find. I grabbed about 5 scrolls that were labeled "Sea of Monsters", and sat down on my bed. The first one had a map of Circe's island. I laughed when I thought about Percy being turned into a guinea pig. He made a cute rodent. I unrolled the next scroll. It was a map of The Siren's Bay. I quickly rolled that one back up, shivering at the thought of what had happened with them. I set scroll number 2 back in the drawer and, I unrolled the third scroll. This was of what I was looking for. Polysemous's island. I scanned it, and marked off where the entrance to the Labyrinth is. It was inside the cave, in the right hand corner. I didn't realize how long I sat there, staring at the map, but I thought it was just for a couple minutes. Turns out it was a few hours, because Percy came into my room looking worried. "I just wanted to check on you. You were in here for 3 hours." He informed me. "Oh, sorry." I said. "I was just memorizing the map." Percy smirked, and sat down beside me. "Sure you were." He said. I pushed him playfully. "You want to play that game huh?" Percy asked, as he started to tickle me. "Stop it!" I screamed. Percy wouldn't stop until I was just about in tears. "Thank you." I said, out of breath. He smirked. "Everyone's eating right now; I just wanted to let you know." Percy said, as he got up. I nodded, and stood up with him. Together we raced to the dining room.
I sat at the head of the table, (as always), and grabbed a plate. Nobody talked the entire time. I knew why. Everyone was thinking about the Labyrinth. "So, uh, Festus gave me a status update." Leo began, breaking the silence. Everyone looked up from their plates. "…and we are almost in the Sea of Monsters, and about a day away from reaching Polysemous's Island. "
Cliffhanger! I needed to do this before you guys got bored of the story. I need to keep you on your toes!
