**Thalia**
Zoë, Atalanta, Bianca, Phoebe and I were talking to Chiron, trying to warn him about Tartarus. Only problem was, he was adamant that nothing was wrong. Actually I think he was just too afraid to admit we mightn't win the war. Then Percy raced up and completely cut Zoë off.
"Annabeth ... Red dust ... Gone," I gasped.
Zoë narrowed her eyes at him.
"Red dust?" She asked.
He doubled over, panting. When he got his breath back he nodded.
"Yeah, red dust swirled around her then took her," he said. It was purple, too," he added as an afterthought.
Zoë swore in Ancient Greek so badly I was sure if she was a camper Chiron would've made her do the dishes for the rest of the year and grounded her for her entire life. Instead Chiron simply raised an eyebrow and looked at her coolly.
"It kinda looked like Tart-" Percy trailed off when he saw Zoë's face. "No? OK."
"I know it looked like Tartarus, because it was," Zoë snapped.
Percy paled. "Wha-what?"
"Tartarus took her. He's gonna..." Zoë stopped speaking.
"He's gonna take all of us," she said in realisation.
Percy and Zoë looked at each other in horror.
"Oh gods," Percy said, uttering a few choice curses.
Zoë followed suit, mumbling profanities under her breath. Chiron pretended he didn't hear and trotted inside the Big House, probably to IM the gods.
