"Oi Malcolm, pass the bread" my little brother Daniel begged from the opposite end of the table. I rolled my eyes at the kid, he seems more like a Hermes child but oh well. "Dan, you have legs you know" Annabeth complained. "Annabeth, the guys 8, relax" Isaac retorted. She gave him a deadly glare, and to nobodys surprise, he looked down at his plate, suddenly more focused on his dinner than arguing with one of the most powerful kids here. Oh yeah, just because we don't have some fancy power like Zeus or Poseidons kids, don't underestimate us. Uh anyway..

Speaking of Poseidon, here comes Percy Jackson, Annabeths boyfriend. He's alright I guess, even if he is looked down on by my mother Athena. "Hey Wise Girl, wanna go to the campfire now?" He asked, weaving her blonde curl through his fingers. She nodded and they walked down from the pavilion towards the amphitheatre where the campfire was hosted.

As the sunset became darkness, everyone was wrapped in blankets, singing along to the classics. Hades, even Daniel was peaceful. There was still a sense of sadness in the air, we were still grieving over the war. The Apollo cabin weren't as upbeat, grieving Michael and Lee, the Hephaestus and Aphrodite kids grieving Silena and Beckendorf and the dozens more deaths that occurred.

"Hey Malcolm, Im gonna bring the younger kids back to the cabin okay?" Annabeth whispered, hopping down from her spot. "Ok, need help?" I asked back. "Nah Perce offered, thanks though" she replied, gathering the last of our younger siblings. She waved goodnight and headed towards the cabin area.

About half an hour later, everyone was in bed or at least getting ready for it. The Athena cabin was quiet apart from the odd whisper or turning of a page. It was peaceful, the moon and stars casting a light glow across the floor. It was as if nothing could ever go wrong...

I stretched out in my bed and yawned. The cabin was warm, sun filtering in the windows. Today was Wednesday, which meant it was a less chaotic day, that you can relax a little. We need it, especially after the last few weeks...I checked the time and there was still an hour before we had breakfast so I got up and grabbed my towel as I made my way to the showers.

After a quick shower, I got dressed, made some attempt at brushing my hair until I gave up and left it in a ratty ponytail. My siblings slowly started waking up and getting dressed and I had to help some of the younger kids with their clothes, so that kept me occupied for ten minutes at least. Before I knew it, the conch horn sounded and it was time to go to the pavilion for breakfast.

As usual Percy hadn't arrived yet, knowing him he's probably asleep still. I piled up my plate with cereal, fruit and pastries and sat down at my table. We made small talk for a while but I started to get worried. Percy still hadn't shown up yet. He must have had no sleep last night, he's probably resting.

Still no Percy and it's been an hour, where the Hades is he? "Hey Malcolm, I'm just gonna check on Percy okay? I'll be right back" I whispered, before jogging down the hill. I reached Cabin 3 and knocked on the door. The place smelled like fish again, gods that needs to be sorted. No answer from inside. "Seaweed Brain, open up!" I yelled again. Nothing. I pounded once more on the door, calling him again. I groaned impatiently and went to the back of the cabin, to the door that he never, ever locks. Sure enough it was open. I freaked open the door, ready to find him still asleep, but I got quite a shock...

I caught a glimpse of Annabeth sprinting towards Chiron and yelling something. His eyes went wide and he stood up immediately. Annabeth was freaking out, clearly stressed. I hurried over to them, ignoring all the campers watching. "Annabeth what's wrong?" I asked gently to my panicking sister. She looked at me with fear in those stormy grey eyes.

"Percy's gone"
