Percabeth's Child

Empousi?

"Wheres Annabeth?" Percy asked Piper once him and Malcolm had returned. Piper jerked her chin towards the Athena cabin.
"Asleep."she informed Percy.

Percy thanked her and waving at her ,walked to the Athena cabin. He knocked softly on the door which was open.

Annabeth laid asleep on her old bed. Not wanting to disturb her, Percy made his way to Grover who as usual was in the woods with Juniper. They must've not heard him coming because they kept talking as if he wasn't therei

"Juniper are you sure? Like really sure?" Grover asked her. Juniper nodded, "Grover I swear I saw one of the empousi fly by today."
Grover looked up as if realizing Percy was there.

"What?" Percy asked Juniper as he walked towards them. Juniper looked at him with wide eyes.

"Hey Percy." she said.
"No...what you guys were talking about...what was it?" He asked and looked from Juniper to Grover and back.

"I-i saw an empousi fly by..." Juniper said as she looked at Grover.
Percy widened his eyes and looked up at the sky but saw nothing.

Taking a step closer to Juniper he asked,"When? What time? Why didn't you tell anyone? Why didn't you tell me?"
Juniper opened her mouth to speak but but no noise came out.

Grover placed a hand on Percy's shoulder,"Percy, you got to calm down. Juniper told me she saw it fly by this afternoon and she didn't tell you because you weren't here. We cant tell Annabeth and you know that."

Percy ran a hand through his face,"Okay, okay I'll be back, I need to tell this to Malcolm."
He ran to the Athena cabin to find Annabeth awake.

"Hey, where you go?"she asked as he walked into the cabin.
"Downtown to-um pick up a video game me and Malcolm wanted to play." Percy responds nervously. He couldn't tell her that him and Malcolm had been visiting places where they believed empousi lived. No need getting her hopes up.Annabeth raised an eyebrow.

"Okay...but Malcolm doesn't like playing video games, he says its a waste of time." she says suspiciously.
"Yeah well, that was before I thought him how to play them. Oh look you can ask him yourself." As Malcolm walks into the cabin Percy pats his shoulder.

"Malcolm tell Annabeth you like playing video games now.Tell her, cause she doesn't believe me." Percy glares at Malcolm.
"Umm yeah sure... whatever you say Percy." Malcolm stares at Percy as he grabs one of his books and heads out of the cabin.

"You want to go back to the house?"He asks Annabeth. She hesitates but then shakes her head.
"I want to spend the night."She tells him. Percy nods his head, "Okay then."

He suddenly remembers why he came to the cabin in the first place and runs out of the cabin looking for Malcolm, who is no where to be seen.

"You should rest Percy...you look awful." the voice makes him jump.
Nico stands in back of him with Will at his side.
"Have you seen Malcolm?" He asks. Nico shakes his head frowning.

"Nico is right Percy. Get some rest." Will suggests.
Percy thinks about it and finally decides to take their advice. He waves at them and he's sure they are still looking at him.
