Chapter 4
Annabeth's POV
When Chiron was bringing me to the infirmary my head and stomach hurt and I kept hearing a buzzing noise. I saw satyr's running around with nymphs but no campers, they were still having fun. When we got to the Infirmary there were only a few people there.
Chiron laid me down on a cot and gave me some nectar to drink. The buzzing noise stopped and my stomach didn't hurt as bad but my head still felt terrible.
After five minutes of resting Thalia, Luke and Percy were all there. Thalia said "How ya feeling Annie?" I gave her a shrug.
Luke exchanged a glance with Thalia then he said "We'll leave you two alone." I thought great. Percy looked at Luke and Luke smirked at him. Percy spoke up and said "Annabeth I'm sorry I let that old ugly hag get you." I said "No it wasn't your fault there were other monsters there and you had to kill them first….. you did the best you could." He stared at me then said "I know but I wish I could have…" I cut him off "Quit blaming it on yourself I should have known to not go deep into the woods its my fault." He said "NO its not!" I said "Fine then it's both our faults!" He smiled "Fine." Then he said "I should probably let you rest so…...bye." "Bye." I said back then he left.
I sat there staring at the ceiling then I fell asleep and I had another dream. The same evil looking guy was there but he was standing at the door of Olympus…..he had Poseidon's trident. I tried screaming at him that that wasn't his but my voice wouldn't work. Then he walked into Olympus and I heard crashing I tried to go and stop him but I couldn't move at all then the world exploded beneath my feet tsunamis and fires started wiping it out then slowly all the dead came up and Kronos was smiling at the guy who had Poseidon's trident then he pointed the trident at me and everything went black.
I woke with a start wondering where I was but then I realized I was in the Infirmary. I told Chiron the dream I had when he came to check on me. He stood there then asked how I was feeling I said 100% better then he picked me up put me on his back and he galloped toward the Athena cabin. I asked him what time it was and he said it was four in the morning. He dropped me off at the Athena cabin and asked me where I thought the dream was I said "Well obviously New York because that's where Mount Olympus is." He said "Yes I know that but when the guy with the trident was writing stuff down where was that?" "It looked like Los Angeles."
He sighed and told me "Someone has stole Poseidon's trident. It has been gone for a week. I thought they would find it but it seems they haven't. So I'm telling you that you need to choose nine people to go on a quest and this is going to be a big one because the one who stole it is very powerful he could be Kronos or…..." I looked at him I thought of everyone dying because Poseidon's trident is missing but then I realized this is what we have trained for.
I said "I want Thalia, Percy, Luke, Grover, Nico, Silena, Beckendorf, Clarisse, and Gia." He said ok then told me to pack and tell everyone what was going on. I said ok then went inside to get my stuff. I grabbed a gray and black backpack then put my hat, Nectar, Ambrosia, my cell phone, sunscreen, human money, drachmas, paper and pencil, four passports, sweatshirt, water, food, and a flashlight. I grabbed my dagger strapped it to my waist and headed for the door.
I went to Gia's cabin first. I woke her up and explained the details. She sighed then packed she got a sword, money, water,sweater, and nectar. I told her I would get Luke, Thalia,Percy, and Clarisse and she could get Grover, Beckendorf, Nico and Silena and that we would meet at the big house. I left and ran to the Zeus cabin I explained everything to Thalia then she groaned and started packing she brought her spear and shield, water, money,her Ipod, chips and some Ambrosia. Then we got the others and then we were heading off to LA. We took a party bus so that all of us could ride together (Chiron's orders) Beckendorf wanted to drive and Silena went in the passenger seat. I said I would stay up if both of them fell asleep then everybody made themselves comfy and started sleeping.
