Chapter 13: I find out I am the Athena Cabin's official Spider killer

When Percy Jackson stormed out of the throne room of the gods, he was fuming, and depressed. Without Annabeth, life felt almost pointless to him.

But if he could save her in time maybe there was enough time for her to be okay.

After hailing a taxi, he paid the driver 300 dollars in cash, inflation drove prices crazy he could have sworn not long ago it was like 200.

But when he finally arrived at the strawberry farm, the taxi driver giving him VERY strange looks but thankfully drove away not long after, Percy found the place deserted.

Where was Grover!?

"Grover!!!!" he shouted running down the familiar paths that once took up all his summers.

"GROVER! JUNIPER!" he called again running. "HEY!" Soon Percy Jackson stood in the center of camp, and all he could see were piles of discarded armor. But no bodies.

Muffled cries came from one of the cabins and slowly, after drawing his sword, Percy crept toward the noise. Apollo's cabin was the loudest in the area, and the most muffled noises came from the cabin.

Slowly, Percy crept up the porch and on a mental 1 2 3 count in his head, he kicked open the door.

Over 50 muffled screams reached his ears as he peered into the dim light.

Bound and gagged campers all stared at him, some with tears in their eyes, the dim hope of being rescued now standing before them.

"Oh my gods!" Percy cried out rushing forward and freeing as many as he could in only a few minutes, letting those who were free rush and free the others.

After a few minutes Percy received a rough sketch of what had happened the night they were all taken.

"So- after the Ares cabin took prisoners they hid you in a different cabin? Why is that?"

Some of the children shrugged but one of the children of Hermes, a boy named Jacks, spoke up. "We don't know Mr Percy - sir- charlie was murmuring about something about to happen and then - everything was dark, the darkness is still crushing us."

"Hey we tried to glow in the dark! We did! But we can only last so long without any food at all." an apollo child argued.

"Well you know what? Dishonor! Dishonor on you! Dishonor on your family, dishonor on your cows- oh wait! You don't have any!"

The apollo children in the small crowd gasped all at once as if this was a huge insult.

Percy stepped in between them before Apollo called down rhyming couplet curses again.

"Oh gods, was I this insufferable when I was 13?" he moaned into his hands in annoyance.

"Guys! Where is grover?" percy yelled above the din of chaos.

"We don't know! Where else would he go! Oh no- APOLLO!!!!" jacks cried out speaking in rhyming couplets.

Percy forgot sometimes mental curses counted if the gods were annoyed enough with who you were cursing.

The last time Apollo had cursed a cabin with rhymes was when they had cursed Ares right before the titan war. It took almost 2 weeks for those knuckleheads to stop speaking in rhymes.

Percy decided quickly it was most likely best to leave them to their own devices for a little while and go find Grover. He would know what to get from the Athena cabin, because Percy had already forgotten.
