~Tori's POV~

I sat alone in the technology room, staring at the blank computer screen for about ten minutes. The computer was advanced, and I needed Leo to come help me.

Unfortunately, the scrawny demigod was visiting Calypso in the infirmary. I was thinking about other people who could help, when Annabeth burst in.

She was sweating, and her golden curls were everywhere. "Tori," She said, heavily breathing. "I- I had a dream."

I stared at her for a few seconds, made her sit down, then I sat down across from her. "What happened Annabeth?" I inquired. "What happened in the dream?"mShe gulped, then tears filled her eyes.

"It was Luke." Annabeth said hoarsely. "He said that if we didn't back down by tomorrow, he would kill everyone. He.. He told me that they're going to attack soon. And I q- quote, 'Master said to kill ruthlessly. Master wants to break all you. Especially the seven.' What does that mean, Tori? Who are the seven?"

My face darkened, and I got up from my chair. I stared out a window, my back to her "The seven? This isn't the time to tell you." I turned to face Annabeth, then I continued, "Tomorrow's the time to tell you. Bring your friends. Not Thalia, not Katie, not Will. I need yourself, Piper, Percy, Jason, Frank, Leo, and Hazel. Okay?"

Annabeth's eyes widened, then she nodded. I motioned for her to leave, but she shook her head.

"Tori? There's one more thing."

I narrowed my eyes, then sat down across from her again. "What?"

"Luke," She said, after a moment's silence. "He had golden eyes. I've.. I've looked that up, and it's not him. It's an eiolodon. And if it was a trick, Luke is being tricked. I've known him since I was seven. That cannot be him. I love him enough to know that he would never hurt anyone."

Then Annabeth proceeded to leave, but before she went through the door, I stopped her, "Wait!"

She turned to look at me. "What?"

"You said it didn't seem like Luke."

She frowned. "Well, duh. There's an eiolodon inside him."

I shook my head violently. "No, no, no. Maybe it was something else. I agree that he might be possessed, but not by an eiolodon."

Annabeth's eyes widened, and she walked toward me slowly. "Like what?"

I looked down at my feet, still sitting on the cold, iron chair. "A primordial."

The daughter of Athena's eyes widened, then she ran out of the room. "Poor girl." I said to no one in particular. "That was one hell of a dream."
