Annabeth's POV

I stomped off towards the Athena cabin thinking about what that Jackson guy said. I have a feeling he's lying about something. I still think he's Percy but I wouldn't dare say that out loud. If  I did and he turns out not to be I would disappoint a lot of people. 

I went into my cabin and sat on my bunk staring at my sketches. I sighed as I saw one of them. It was the sketch for Olympus. I remember Percy sitting bedsides me while I was sketching that. 

I felt a tear slide down my cheek and quickly wiped it away. I must have sat there for awhile cause when I looked around nobody was in the cabin anymore. I wonder where they went. I sighed and lied down on  the bed thinking of the time Percy, Grover, an-

I shot up abruptly and sat there. Grover.

Then I remembered, Grover had an empathy link with Percy!!! Oh my gods this is great! If Percy did die Grover would probably die too! But Grover is still healthy and alive!!! This is absolutely amazing!

I quickly ran out of my cabin and sprinted towards the woods knowing Grover would be there. I tripped a few times though do to excitement. 

I saw Grover a few minuted later talking to Juniper. 

"Grover!"  I yelled. Grover and Juniper both looked at me and Juniper walked away knowing this was important.

I ran up to Grover panting. 

After a few minutes I caught my breathe and looked at Grover. I really hope this will work.

"You know your empathy link with Percy?" I asked.

He nodded, "Yeah why?"

"Could you feel it right now?

"What?" He looked at me confused as to why I was asking this.

"Do you remember your empathy link with Percy?! Like how if one of you dies the other would probably die too! You're still alive and healthy! I'm pretty sure Percy is alive!!!"  I couldn't stop smiling now. The thought of Percy alive is great. I don't even care if he doesn't love me, he can hate me for all I care. As long as he's alive. But I do miss him a lot.

"OH MY GODS!" Grover yelled with wide eyes. 

"So can you feel it?!" I questioned impatiently.

"YES! Umm let me focus for a second," Grover sat down and closed his eyes. His nose twitched. 

"I can feel him!!! He's at Olympus right now according to the link and he's nervous?" Grover opened his eyes and looked at me in confusion. 

We looked at each other for a second before we both sprinted to Half Blood Hill and took Leo's car. I'm sure he wouldn't mind. 

Grover got into the driver's seat and i got into the passengers seat. As soon as I closed the door he was already speeding towards the Empire State building. 

Grover's POV (SURPRISE!)

I sped towards the Empire State building. While I was driving I kept thinking who could possibly be Percy. I kept thinking about it till I got a headache, but it was worth it because then it hit me. 

Jackson is Percy! It all makes sense now! Why he and Leo hugged, how Blackjack seemed to know him, and why he seemed to know Blackjack. Oh my gods!

"Jackson is Percy!!!" I blurted out. Annabeth looked at me for a second then her eyes widened. 

"That explains a lot of things!" She replied while looking like she was thinking of something. 

This all makes sense now.
