PERCY POV

-Dream-

I was wandering in the familiar woods of Camp Half-Blood; it would have been nice; if I hadn't been so panicked. I was running, running to reach somewhere; a destiny. I was running from all the 'Gods are real' things, to something I always wanted to, have, - a normal life, and being surrounded by loved ones.

Someone caught me by my hand, I spun around and to my utter astonishment, it was Annabeth! She grabbed in a chokehold, and I gasped. Sharp pain seared through me( It hurt when I felt Annabeth's hand holding me in a chokehold). I wanted to struggle out of it and ask what was she doing, but her expression seemed (like her attention wasn't even on me) distant. . She was in a daze. "Don't you hear it; they are calling for me."

. I kept on struggling but she didn't seem to pay attention. I wanted to shout out to Annabeth if she was okay, I wanted to ask her what was she talking about, but unfortunately, her grip didn't ease and my words came out as stifled coughs.

Then, Annabeth and I had teleported to some other place, with snow-capped mountains. Her eyes seemed to snap back to reality (well exactly how real is a dream?) A small smile played on her lips and for a second I was relieved that she was happy, them she relieved me from the chokehold and spoke, "Can't you feel it Percy? This is the place where I will find a new adventure! I never loved you Percy. This is the place my destiny will change! "Her words had broken my heart. It felt like someone had crushed my heart into a million prices and then stepped on it.

( But I was not a person to be fooled by lies. Annabeth lies very smoothly but her voice gets a bit high when she lies. I wanted to believe that she had been lying as her voice did rise but due to my heartbreak I couldn't think clearly!)

Then, Annabeth started to struggle from an invisible force, "Percy don't! Avoid it!" her voice was strained and she gasped slightly. ( seemed to come from afar but she was right in front of me seeming to be screaming at the top of her lungs). Then all was black.…

--Dream End-

I woke up gasping for air, my eyes were still misty, courtesy of the dream I just had. "Stupid me, of course, I slept right after my dinner and never got the chance to run away!" I noticed I was exactly from where I had planned to run away, hope came running to me! Maybe Annabeth would be right there in Athena Cabin!

All my hope drained out when Malcolm came rushing to me, (he came at me and started to shout, )"Do you know where Annabeth is? She just disappeared last night!"

I hated hearing those words the most than anything in my whole life. I just sat down on the grass, my face buried in my knees and stifled the sobs. While Malcolm was frantically screaming.

Piper POV

I couldn't believe it! The whole camp had come to the big house expect for Annabeth and Percy. And what I was hearing was totally a pile of senseless information! "Come on Chiron, you really think Annabeth would be the one retrieving the sword of creation! She is one of the people who would never hurt Percy!"

Chiron, who was still calm after me stalking him and talking about the topic we were discussing, but I wasn't! Second by second, I was losing my cool, I didn't have the heart to tell Percy what Annabeth must be doing in his dream. That guy had literally been sobbing the whole morning! "Look Piper, none of us wants to believe it! But that's our best guess and suspicion, if we don't follow it, Percy might die! " Chiron replied, his voice was filled with sadness and concern.

"Fine, we will stick up with the theory, but where do we go to stop her! Percy isn't telling the prophecy to anyone.!"

"Tell Percy whatever we discussed and give him some time. Let him cope up, but stop him if he starts doing stupid. Later, when he is fine, you all can start the quest." Chiron said, after a moment of thinking

"Okay, Chiron."

I left the big house and went over to Cabin three. Percy is like a brother to me. After Leo's so called 'death' he had always helped me cope up. Even thinking, that I will be going to tell him something that might crush his heart, I felt guilty. I gathered up the courage and knocked on the door of Cabin no. three.

AN: That's it for today! Pls review and tell if the chapters should be longer and like how long. Pls review! Bye!
