Chapter 10
Annabeth
The counselors and I all dreaded until Chiron came back. We didn't know what to do. Usually during war, us Athena kids make the battle plans. But in this case, we didn't know if we trust Percy. I still love him and I want him to be safe. But after the whole Luke problem my mind was racing back and forth. Should I believe him? Should I not believe him? Is he a traitor? Is Thalia right?
These thoughts made me think all day. I walked back and forth outside the cabin. Chiron has been out for 4 hours and we have been waiting for him.
After what seemed like years, I heard trotting.
"CHIRON!" I raced towards him. I wanted answered. I wanted answers now. He looked upset and his face was pale. What did he see? What did they talk about? When he saw me, he quickly changed his facial expression.
"Annabeth my dear, we must have a meeting at once. We will face great challenges during this war I'm afraid." Chiron trotted into the Big House.
"Counselors! I have bad news." Chiron looked at the floor.
We all gathered around the table an sat in our seats. Chiron looked super worried. I wanted answers. I needed answers. Now.
"What happened? What did you see? Did the gods say anything about Percy? Did you see Percy? What did you guys talk about? Are they going to punish Percy? Is Percy the traitor?" I continued listing questions.
"Enough Annabeth. What I saw was very...disturbing. Though I do know that Percy is no betrayer." Chiron gulped.
"So Percy is innocent? He's free? Where is he? Did they hurt him? If he's not a betrayer then why did he expose information? Then-" I was cut off by Chiron.
"Annabeth enough! I don't know if I should tell you this but..Percy is in far more danger than we think. While on my trip to Olympus, the Evan guy Iris messaged the gods. What I saw was disturbing. Percy was all battered up. Deep cuts all over his body. He looked even paler than Hades himself. They took away Percy so they knew we would be weak. Without our dear hero, nobody can save Olympus." Chiron explained.
No. No. No. No. No No No No No!!
"My poor Percy!!" I stumbled to the ground and began crying. I can't believe I didn't believe him. He is always innocent. I cried and cried. Clarisse, the counselor of the Ares cabin came running towards me holding me. She's an actual good friend to me sometimes when I'm emotional.
"Annabeth go to your cabin and get some rest." Chiron suggested.
"No! We have to find Percy!!" I sobbed. My poor Percy is suffering. He's gone. Without him Olympus won't be saved. He was just a tool for the Olympian's. Saving their wars. Now he's being beaten. I cried even more at the thought. My handsome boyfriend! He's hurt!
"Annabeth, we will search immediately. Thalia and the hunters are already searching. I'll get some volunteers to go on the search. Clarisse, take Annabeth to her cabin." Chiron instructed.
"NOO! I have to search for Percy! I'm going too!" Clarisse was already dragging me out of the Big House.
"Go back! I have to save Percy!!" I screamed. I yelled. I cried. I was an emotional wreck.
"Look Annie, you got to go get some rest. After, I'll tell you my plan to get Prissy okay?" Clarisse walked me to my cabin.
"You're going to help me?" I sniffled.
"Of course. I'll tell you the plan later. Get some rest." Clarisse said.
I got in my cabin and went on top of my bed. I couldn't sleep. I shouldn't. I have to spend all my time looking for Percy. But my body betrayed me. Once my head hit the pillow, I felt my eyelids closing. Well here comes the bad dreams...
I was in this dark dark room. I looked everywhere until I heard a scream. A painful scream. It was familiar. It was Percy! I ran to a door and opened to see Evan slicing through Percy's skin. I watched in terror as Percy yelled in pain. Evan got up and left the room. I hid behind the door. Then I came running towards Percy.
"Oh my gods Percy you are so stupid! Stupid stupid stupid!" I cried. Tears formed in my eyes and I looked at all the cuts he had. He looked terrible. His clothes were crimson red. He looked very very pale. Deep gashes were all around his body.
"Annabeth?" Percy asked. He took his hand and placed it on my cheek.
"Percy! I will find you. I will save you! Stay strong please Percy don't die on me!" I cried. Tears began to fall more and more and I sobbed into Percy's chest. I saw his dark sea green eyes filled with pain. Lots of pain.
"Annabeth. Please don't worry about me. Save Olympus for me. I don't have much time." Percy coughed out blood.
"No Percy don't say that! Stupid seaweed brain! Please! You'll survive. I'll find you!" I heard a door open. It was George.
"Annabeth! Go! Don't let him see you! Leave me here! Save Olympus!" Percy pushed me away.
"NO!" I yelled. I saw George coming towards Percy with a dagger. He came and cut a deep gash on his face.
"PERCY!!!!" I screamed. Then I was plummeting into darkness. I heard familiar voices.
"Be aware daughter of Athena. Without Percy, Olympus shall fall. You can't find him. It is too late. We will rise and Percy will suffer incredible pain." I heard a evil woman's laugh.
"Leave my Percy alone! I will find him, and Olympus will be saved!" I yelled holding back tears.
"Too late." Another evil laugh continued.
Those two words echoed everywhere. Too late, I thought to myself. What does that mean? What will they do?
Then I jolted up awake looking at two familiar faces.
Grover Underwood and Clarisse La Rue.

Percy
After Annabeth's body shimmered away, I could yell in pain. They needed to find me. I have to find a way to lead them to me. George smirked and left the room. He came back with a glass of water. I licked my lips. I haven't had water for a few hours. I needed water. George saw me and smirked.
"Want some?" He asked. I nodded my head.
"Okay then." George smiled.
He came towards me with the glass of water in his hand. He pushed my shirt up and looked at all the deep gashes I had. He then splashed the water all over my stomach. Idiot. Water can heal me. But it didn't. This water was far more painful. While it went over the cuts, it burned. I yelled in pain. What kind of water is this?!!
"What is this?!?" I stuttered holding back screams.
"Oh you know, has a bit Greek Fire in it. Maybe more. Enjoying it?" George laughed evilly.
I tried holding back screams but I couldn't. It burned too much. It hurt like Tartarus.
"Well that's enough water for you." George got up and walked out of the room. I needed help. I can't stay here. I have to find a way out. I tried the empathy link to Grover so many times, but he couldn't hear me. This time I tried even harder.
(A/N: Italics is Percy, bold is Grover)
Grover! I need help!
PERCY?! I can hear you!!
Grover, listen to me carefully. Take my hellhound. Mrs. O'Leary and let her hunt me down. She can bring me back.
Oi! We tried Percy. Bla-ha-ha-ha! We can't find you.
That was my last chance. Tell Annabeth I love her for me please.
No Percy! We will find you!
My mother, was here. Go to her and tell her to tell you everything. She should know where I am. Hopefully she's alive.
Ok Percy! Bla-ha-ha-ha I'm bringing Clarisse and Annabeth. They have a plan. I'll bring loads of tin cans for you. And-
I couldn't hear him after that. Someone interrupted our connection. Annabeth and Clarisse? Coming to me? It's too dangerous!
Grover! Grover! It's too dangerous don't bring Annabeth or Clarisse!
There was no response. I tried harder. I didn't want my girlfriend to get hurt because of my stupid actions.
Grover! Grover! Don't do it!
Still no answer. I began getting tired. My eyelids were gettin heavy. Then I soon fell asleep.
"Annabeth.." I muttered before I went into a deep sleep. With bad dreams of course
