Missing
A/N: This is after the fire was put out.
**** Percy's POV ****
I and Jason used our powers to the brink of exhaustion.
"The worlds green and spinning." Jason slurred. Jason's hair looked purple in my eyes.
"Why's your hair purple?" I stuttered out while stumbling on my feet. I felt sick to the bone.
"Your hair looks pink" Jason hiccuped. Annabeth helped me up.
"You guys went to the max again" Piper fretted.
"I told you to not overdo it!" Annabeth fumed.
"What?" Percy slurred tumbling face-first onto the grass. Annabeth force-fed me some nectar. She shoved a few spoon fulls into my mouth.
"Chew" She instructed. Meekly I obeyed. I felt color returning to my skin and Jason's hair did not look like a bright Purple anymore.
"Where's Tori?" I asked scanning the camp for any sign of her.
"She ran into the forest to look for the source of the fire" Piper informed me. I shot up on my feet.
"What!" I cried with panic.
"We're going to the forest" I stated firmly. Piper opened her mouth to argue but Annabeth stopped her.
"If Leo had gone in there you would have looked for him. Same way, Tori is like our big sister" Annabeth argued. Piper nodded and picked up her dagger. I tried to run but ended up falling face-first again.
"I don't think I'll get the taste of grass out of my mouth for a while." I groaned. Annabeth laughed and helped me up.
"We'll go get her. You two stay here." Piper ordered.
***** Annabeth's POV *****
Annabeth and Piper back to back made their way to the middle of the forest. There stood a huge boulder but no Tori.
"What? Tori's supposed to be here?" Piper asked relaxing.
"Wait" I stopped. I walked over to a bush and saw a tissue thrown. I picked it up, it was damp with a liquid.
"It's a sleeping drug" Piper spoke from behind Annabeth.
"How do you-" I started but Piper sensed her question.
"People like to think that if they capture Tristan McClean's daughter he would pay huge amounts of money" She informed her. Something caught my eye on the left, it was a tree with a branch that looked like had it had been kicked off.
"Excuse me?" I politely greeted the tree. Piper looked at me as though I was crazy.
"How can I help you?" A voice from the tree answered.
"What happened here?" I asked the dryad.
"Umm... A boy was waiting here for quite a while. Then a girl came then he took the girl with him" The dryad stuttered.
"Can you describe the boy for us?" Piper gently spoke in a calm tone knowing that the dryad would probably be scared.
"He... He had blonde hair... crystal blue eyes. He kept smiling" The dryad spoke wistfully.
"It was Luke wasn't it?" Annabeth spat. The tree shook.
"Yes..." The dryad said.
***** Phoenix's POV *****
Phoenix stood there on the side watching this new agent, Luke? Yes, that was his name. She blew a strand of her ash blonde hair and grunted watching him smile at a girl with caramel-colored hair.
"Love is for the weak" She muttered. But inside her heart twisted in many different ways looking at the boy's eyes and how much he loved that girl, Tori.
"I fully agree" A man's voice came from behind me.
"Dash Haber, How on earth can I help you?" I respond without even looking back.
"Well, shall we make a trade?" He slyly smiled taking a step out of the shadows.
"What trading deal might this be?" Phoenix's voice answers coldly.
"I see the way you look at that boy, Luke." He started but never did get to finish because I put a knife at his throat.
"Say that again and you're a dead man Haber" Phonenix spat.
"I'm trying to strike a deal here. I suggest you stop being so... melodramatic?" Dash responds with a bead of sweat trickling down his forehead.
"Shut it" I snorted before putting the knife back into my sheath. Shoving my hands into my pocket I walked off to find a bow and arrow to practice.
*!* A few minutes later *!*
I fired repeatedly at the dummy having the disemboweled in a matter of minutes.
"Your grip on the bow is too strong." A voice called from behind me. I turned around and saw Luke's little toy.
"What do you know about fighting, your just Luke's girl toy" I spat. The girl raised an eyebrow. She grabbed a bow and arrow and stood 7 feet away from me and fired.
"You were saying?" She asked.
"You missed all the targets" I snorted. She raised an eyebrow. I looked back confused and found my bow broken perfectly in half and the arrow nailed into the target.
"How did you-" I asked her, my eyes grew as wide as saucers.
"Training with Apollo kids help" She replied shrugging.
"And by the way. Call me a girl toy again and the Arrow will be in a different spot" The girl replied coldly. I looked into her eyes and saw a warm light in them that was wrapped in steel. I hesitated but decided to ask her.
"Can... Can I talk to you?" I muttered. The girl's eye immediately softened.
"Sure. Meet me in my room" She replied before walking off. I put away the bow and arrow and rushed off to the shower. Maybe she could help... I pulled on a VILE jumpsuit and started to make my way toward Tori's room. I heard laughter beyond the oak door. I opened the door and saw Luke. He had Tori in his arms and she was rolling her eyes.
"You aren't that funny" She snorted.
"Oh? Then why did you laugh?" He asked her.
"If I didn't you would ask, why didn't you laugh?" She replied mimicking his voice ridiculously deep.
"I do not sound like that!" He protested. She rolled her eyes again.
"And I copyrighted my voice so technically you did a crime." He grinned wickedly.
"Oh? and what's my punishment?" She asked dryly.
"As a punishment, you have to kiss me." He declared triumphantly. Tori leaned forward toward Luke. I could hear his heartbeat from the doorway.
"Not happening Pretty boy" She whispered in his ear and pushed him away. He fell onto Tori's bed and landed with a thump. She laughed and he pretended to be hurt.
"I'm offended" He muttered and turned away. Tori's eyes softened she took a step toward him to apologize. But in a lightning-fast move, he grabbed Tori's by the waist and pulled her down onto the bed. He started to tickle her she wiggled uncomfortably in his grip. He tightened his grip around her and smirked.
"I win" He whispered into her hair. She wiggled trying to get out of his grip.
"Let me go you, great big oaf!" She exclaimed but Luke flipped her over so that she faced him. I couldn't stand it longer so I politely coughed. Tori's head snapped up in the direction of the doorway. Luke glared at me and I stuck my tongue out at him.
"You two are so immature" Tori muttered under her breath. I grinned.
"Sorry, were you two busy?" I teased. Luke wrapped his hands around Tori's waist.
"Yes," Luke grunted trying to get rid of me.
"I'll catch up to you later Luke. I promised Phoenix that I would talk with her" Tori promised. Luke gave me one last angry look then left.
"Sorry about that," Tori said. "How long were you standing there?"
"Long enough to see the both of you make-out" I replied straight-faced. Tori turned 50 different shades of red.
"Shut up," She said throwing a pillow at me.
"Anyways what did you want to talk about?" She asked me.
"You see I...."
