The next morning, didn't fail on the hectic factor. When I woke up I heard yelling. I got up out of the sickbay bed and walked out to see what the commotion was all about. I walked out and Frank had a panicked look on his face.
"What is the matter Frank?" I asked.
"We can't find Percy or Annabeth! They weren't in there rooms! We think that they've been kidnapped." Frank said. "But don't worry about it. You need your rest."
"No. I'll help look." I started walking to the stairs and walked to my room. I changed my clothing to a baby blue Nike tank top and some black capris that ended right below my calf. Then I grabbed my matching baby blue running shoes. I looked at my scared arms so I put on a Nike hoodie.

I left my room and heard the intercom come on. Leo's voice came on and said to meet in the mess hall. So instead of making my way to the deck I just went down another level and went inside the mess hall.
When I finally made it to the mess hall, Frank, Annabeth and Percy were there. "Where were you guys?" I asked.
"We were talking in the the stables last night and just fell asleep." Annabeth explained.
"And kissed a couple of times." Percy muttered.
"Again Percy! Not helping!" Annabeth exclaimed. When everyone else came into the mess hall, and they learned what happened they had different reactions.
Jasonand Piper were mostly relieved. Leo couldn't stop grinning and muttering, "Classic. Classic."
OnlyHazel seemed scandalized, maybe because she was from the 1940s. She kept fanning her face andwouldn't meet Percy's eyes.
Naturally, Coach Hedge went ballistic."Never in my life!" Coach bellowed, waving his bat and knocking over a plate of apples. "Againstthe rules! Irresponsible!"
"Coach," Annabeth said, "it was an accident. We were talking, and we fell asleep."
"Besides," Percy said, "you're starting to sound like Terminus."
Hedge narrowed his eyes. "Is that an insult, Jackson? 'Cause I'll—I'll terminus you, buddy!"
"It won't happen again, Coach. I promise. Now, don't we have otherthings to discuss?"
Hedge fumed. "Fine! But I'm watching you, Jackson. And you, Annabeth Chase, I thought youhad more sense—"
Jason cleared his throat. "So grab some food, everybody. Let's get started."The meeting was like a war council with donuts.
Percy told them about his dream—the twin giants planning a reception for them in an undergroundparking lot with rocket launchers; Nico di Angelo trapped in a bronze jar, slowly dying fromasphyxiation with pomegranate seeds at his feet.
Hazel choked back a sob. "Nico... Oh, gods. The seeds." I was sitting on one side of Hazel so I grabbed her hand under the table. She looked at me and I gave her a sad smile.
