A/N: Thanks for all your reviews! I now three is not a lot, but I think it is. Regarding that one question, YES Percy is missing again.
Silena's POV:
I woke up to Mom's footsteps leave her bed and run out the door. If she wasn't a human being, I would say she were a lightning fast cheetah. I rubbed my eyes and looked up at Bianca. She shifted her body and made the bed moved. Everything that happened last night, I was surprised that I was still alive and not dead from the amount of excitement that went on. I swung my feet off the bed and let my toes meet the cold, wooden floor boards. I stretched my arms and looked at Charles.
He was staring outside at where Mom was sat on the porch sobbing with her head in her hands. I have never seen this sad, and it was starting to scare me.
"What's going on? Where's Dad?" I asked.
Charles turned around with a pale and blank stare on his face. Bianca asked for Dad too but Charles kept his glare on me.
For the longest time, when we were growing up, Charles and I kept trying to send messages telepathically but we were never successful. Although this time, I swear, I could hear exactly what he saying. And the message was clear. Dad is missing.
Crap. Oh my "Gods". Dad was gone. He obviously wasn't in the camp and he would have left a note on the bed or some sign that he was going out. Charles turned around and looked at what Mom was rubbing on the floor. I lifted my arms and helped Bianca down from the top bunk. I set her down and walked slowly until I caught a glimpse of what was there.
Red drops were on the floor. Not just paint or knots in the wood. It was blood. With Mom crying and the look Charles gave me, I could tell it was Dad's. I didn't like the idea of my father out on his own, bleeding. I'm sure he could handle himself but without Mom, I'm not sure if he could handle whatever drew this blood.
Chiron galloped up to us and clip clopped up to cabin three. He face was grim as he laid a hand on Mom's shoulder. She squeezed her eyes shut and wiped her eyes.
"Chiron. It's Percy. He is gone again. Again. Percy. Oh Gods, Percy! Where in the HADES have you gone?" Chiron pulled Mom into a tight hug and she put her head into his chest and sobbed so hard.
"Annabeth, you need to get some rest. I don't want you going out without any sense of direction and any idea of where Percy is. I will fill you in when we know anything else." Mom nodded and walked back to bed. We watched her get under the covers and cry herself to sleep. Chiron motioned towards us to follow him. I grabbed Bianca's hand and dragged her towards Chiron. Charles walked in front of me as we made our way to the Big House.
Inside was a long hallway. To the right was a room with a ping pong table that was acting as a regular table. Chiron sat us down and told us to wait. He started out the room but then turned back.
"On second thought. I don't think Bianca would want to hear this." Chiron looked at her and picked her up and put her on his back. I looked out the window and saw Chiron hand Bianca off to a group of Aphrodite girls.
"James! Gather all the head councilors from each cabin." I saw our friend James scrabble to each cabin and procuring a small group of older teenagers. They made way to the Big House and each took a seat around the ping pong table. Some had heard the news and gave Charles and I sympathetic looks. Some were stupid and joking around with their friends. James came in, followed by Chiron, and took a seat next to me. Chiron cleared his thought.
"If you haven't heard yet, Percy Jackson has gone missing." Everybody was now quiet and shocked. The Hephaestus kids set down their nuts and bolts. The councilor of the Aphrodite cabin set down her mirror and hairbrush. Everybody's attention was focused on the words coming out of Chiron's mouth. "We don't know where he is, but he is no where in camp. He wife and three children, Annabeth Jackson, Architect of Olympus, Charles, Silena, and Bianca are here. I propose a quest is in order."
Everybody raised their hands. I could tell they would love the chance to help the Great Percy Jackson. Chiron looked in Charles and my direction. I widened my eyes and so did Charles.
"I only see it fitting to assign this quest to Charles Beckendorf Jackson, and Silena Beaguard Jackson." He raised his eyebrows. "What do you think?"
I don't know about Charles but I was speechless. James jumped out of his seat and raised his right hand.
"I, James Sampson, Son of Apollo, offer my services as the third attendant on the quest. I have been here for a long time and I think they would benefit from my medicine and sword techniques." He turned in our direction and smiled. "Do you accept?"
Charles slowly nodded, and I could still see that he was in shock of going to find Dad.
James made a fist pump in the air and sat down politely.
"All right! Sounds like Charles, Silena, and James will be going on a quest to find Percy Jackson."
James had the biggest smile on his face, as if he was a child on Christmas day. He stood up and ran a victory run lap around the ping pong table. Then something dawned on him.
"Time to find you guys a weapon" He said.
A/N: How was that? Let me know hehe! Hope you don't like me for throwing Percy out the window, but I think it was necessary.
