Saving Percy, again.

Annabeth slammed her phone down and started pacing. She would've started screaming and breaking things like she'd been doing for the past week, but the air started shimmering in front of her. She sighed and sat down as the Iris message sorted itself out and got a better connection.

"Hi Thalia," Annabeth said when her friend's face showed up, "No I wasn't about to go on another search for Percy."

Thalia raised an eyebrow, "Well that's a shock. What brought you back to reality?"

Annabeth just shook her head and sighed, "The fact that when I find him I'm going to punch him, but also the fact that my pillow is closer to my fist."

Thalia shook her head, "You know we're going to find him."

"When?"

"You know I don't know that, but we're all try-"

"Wait!" Annabeth screamed, interrupting a now very startled Thalia,"I'm an idiot!"

"A child of Athena is calling herself an idiot? It's Armageddon." Thalia said when she'd calmed down from the heart attack she'd almost had. But Annabeth wasn't listening, she'd already run out of the cabin.

"Well if no one is going to listen to my sarcastic quips, then I'm going back to kicking the crud out of the guy who was going to cut down a pine tree," Thalia said as she ended the call.

Annabeth ran as fast as she could go, which is already amazingly fast. She ran all the way to the forge, then to Cabin 9, then to the lake where she found Leo apologizing to another innocent camper that he'd almost set on fire with a hug.

"I'm sorry! I didn't know that the stains on your shirt were highly flammable!" Leo protested as the camper marched off in a huff. "It wasn't my fault you had greasy fries for lunch!"

Leo sighed and turned to find an ecstatic and sweaty Annabeth behind him.

"What's up? Any luck finding Percy?"

Annabeth shoved her phone into Leo's face, "You can find him."

"What?"

"Use your skills and find my boyfriend!" Annabeth said with a scary glint in her eyes.

Leo took the phone uncertainty, he'd already tried to find "X" through hacking into Instagram, but he didn't have any luck. He'd gotten address, but when they got there, the house was completely abandoned.

"Are you sure about this?" Leo said, already hacking into "X's" account, "He might be gone again."

Annabeth shook her furiously, "Look at the last conversation he had with me. Artemis was there and at first, I just thought that she'd frozen him in place because she wanted him to be annoyed by Apollo. But now I know why she really did it! She was helping us!"

Leo looked up, "But I thought God's couldn't interfere with mortal affairs."

"That's why she didn't say what she was really doing!" Annabeth said insistently, "She knew I'd be able to figure it out!"

Leo shook his head, still not completely convinced, but one minute later, he had an address. He glanced at it and rolled his eyes, "This guy seriously lacks originality."

Annabeth glanced at the phone, "Seriously? He's at 221B Backer Street? Really?"

"Well he can't be at the actual place, that's a Sherlock Holmes meuseum," Leo pointed out.

"But he could have built a house with that as a false address."

Leo jumped a foot in the air as Nico materalized behind him.

"DON'T DO THAT MAN!" Leo shouted when Nico snickered at his now pale face.

Leo stalked off, grumbling about "stupid shadow powers" and "I'd like to see him beat me in torch juggeling contest".

"What were you saying?" Annabeth question Nico, "About building a house?"

"Right," Nico continued, "He could've built his own house and since he needed an address, he could've told the people who gave him utilities that he was actually living in the original 221B Backer Street house."

"Can you get me there?"

"That's what I'm here for," Nico said as he gripped Annabeth's shoulder.

In the next second Annabeth and Nico were standing in front of a crude house with black, grey, and brown paint splattered in long random streaks everywhere.

Nico raised an eyebrow, "Kind of looks like a birds feathers doesn't it?"

Annabeth wasn't listening, she didn't care, she was already picturing smashing Squiggle's head against her knee as she grabbed Percy and dragged him out of that house and back to camp.

Nico and Annabeth rushed to the front and kicked open the door to find...

I'm am evil. I am an evil writer. I take forever to update, and when I do, it's a short part that ends in a cliff hanger. Complain all you want, but as soon as I get the chance, I will update as much as I can. I've just been incredibly busy because I was in the school play, plus it was Thanksgiving. And I'm also trying to maintain a weekly updating schedule for the collaberated account I have (@TheDerpyOncers) which is unsuccesful as this week has been insane even though I was on holiday. But I still want to write as much as I can, so keep a look out, I will have some sort of an update out within two weeks, or you can feel free to spite me all you want.

And one last thing, I know I shouldn't have started another book when I can barely keep up with the ones I already have, but I've made a book called Fandonia. If  any of you have a fandom that you are really passionate about and would like to call yourself the leader of, check it out. Read the rules and get into it, because if you get enough people requesting it, you can get your fandom a rant page where you can express all of the things you love/hate about the show/book(series)/movie etc.
