The entire day I was studying the strange liquid.What I've found so far :
- It only affects only some people.
- It hurts like hell.
I could figure out what it was. I read all the Athena cabin's books on poisons and their components and I've found nothing. Nada. Zero. Zip. Goose egg. Ugh. It was so frustrating.
It was about midnight and I could hear all my cabin mates sleeping. I should have tried to save her. I could have. What is wrong with me?! I was so annoyed. No answer was ever hidden from me before! I just wanted to help someone for once. Everyone thinks
/I'm just this emo robot. Sure I may hide my feelings often but a robot? That's a stretch.
I don't know why my prayers haven't been answered recently. I tried talking to Chiron about it, but he said he didn't know. He was obviously lying. He was in deep thought when I asked him. I was in such deep thought that I didn't hear someone come up
/behind me.
"What are you doing up so late?"
I nearly jumped out of my seat and banged my knee on the desk.
"By the gods Annabeth! Don't creep up on me like that!"
"Yeah, yeah." She sat on the desk and crossed her arms. "You gonna answer my question?"
"I've been studying poison, as you can see." I motioned toward the 15 books on the desk.
"Trying to find a cure I see. Any luck?"
I slumped forward. "No."
She looked at me with a hint of sympathy in her eyes. "You should get some rest. We are having acabin leadermeeting tomorrow and we might send someone on a quest."
I nodded. I walked to my bunk and collapsed. As soon as my head hit the pillow I fell into a deep sleep.
"Wake up Jaxon!"
I opened my eyes and glared at my sibling, Malcom. "What."
"It's breakfast."
I got out of bed and quickly changed. My entire cabin was already outside. As I walked to the mess hall. I was wondering where Krystal was and if she was safe.
