The New Chaos Army

Crazy

Annabeth's pov

Hours of looking through Tartarus we found nothing. Well aside from about a billion monsters which we barely survived each attack. We even ran into some old friends. Medusa still hated me and her sisters weren't to find of Frank and Hazel. Finally we stopped for a break.

"We should go back to the ship." Jason said.

"What! Why!? We haven't found them yet why would we give up now!?" I said a little to loudly.

"Annabeth, I think you too caught up trying to find Percy that you didn't notice." Piper said.

"Notice what!?" I asked. Piper gestured to Nico who was shaking. He was scared of Tartarus. How could I be so stupid and let him come back here. If Percy was here, he would have found me...Right?

"Yeah...Maybe we should go back." I said hesitantly.

Nico looked at me greatfully. Before we started to walk I noticed something. In the dim light of the phelgathon I saw a small item. I leaned down and picked it up. In my hand was my invisibility cap, half burnt by the fire. Percy had thrown it info the river. I picked it up and put it on....And it still worked? How did it still work? It was half burnt. I stuffed it in my pocket and we headed back to the ship. I went to Percy's room, where I had gone ever since he disappeared. Even though Percy wasn't here when Leo finished the Argo III, Leo had built Percy a room. There was a small fountain in the corner of the room just like at his cabin. For iris messaging. Maybe I could iris message Percy and figure out where he is. I threw a coin into the rainbow and said,

"O Goddess except my offering. Show me Percy Jackson, Tartarus."

The image shimmered, but instead of seeing him in Tartarus I saw him a red headed girl sword fighting. I couldn't here them or see them very well but I knew that was Percy. They were moving at incredible speeds. Neither of them managed to land a blow on the other but they still tried. After a few minutes they gave up. Suddenly their voices were audible.

"Nice job out there, I think your training is almost over." The girl said.

"Yeah, well I guess that year in Tartarus really paid off." Percy said, wiping sweat from his head.

"Tartarus is nothing compared to Al's gym locker." The girl said. They both laughed.

"Well I have other training to do, I'll see you at lunch." Percy said walking away. The girl watched him leave. She had a strange expression on her face. It was the same expression I wore whenever Percy left the room before we got together. She had a crush on MY seaweed brain. I wanted to scream at her but the iris message faded. Piper ran into the room. I guess I had made a lot of noise.

"What's going on? Are you okay?" She asked.

"Well, you can tell Leo we can leave." I said.

"But we haven't found him yet, we were going to look in the morning...Or whatever passes as morning here." Piper said.

"We don't need to look because he's not here." I said. She looked confused. I explained to her what I saw in the Iris message.

"I'm sure he's ok." Piper said.

"He didn't even say anything about us. And that girl..." I said.

"I'm sure he still loves you." Piper said.

"You saw the note. He blames us for what the gods did. It's not like he'll just forget." I said. She put a hand on my shoulder.

"I'm sure he's fine. We'll look for him. He might. Not be in Tartarus anymore but he's not gone forever." Piper said. I nodded. Piper was good at making people feel better.

"I'm going to get some sleep." I said. Piper nodded and left the room. I climbed into Percy's bed. It smelt like him, although I'm not sure why, he had never slept in it. As I laid there I felt less like a guest and more like an intruder, like I wasn't supposed to be there. If he knew he probably wouldn't be too happy. But I didn't care. He was MY seaweed brain and if I wanted to sleep in his bed I could. I slowly drifted off to sleep. I was hoping for a nice dreamless sleep but as a Demi-god, of course, that would never happen. And since I was in Tartarus it was like demigod dreams on steroids.

*DREAM*

I stood in a room across from dirt face herself. Her eyes were open, she was awake again. Somehow her and Kronos managed to return. Along with about every other monster that hated us.

"Your mission has blinded you from what's really happening." Gaea said. A vision of camp being attacked. No. We had left camp to look for Percy. And now they were attacking.

"I always reward those who help me." Gaea said. "Perhaps a glimpse of a former friend."

My dream changed

Percy walked down a long dark hallway, the red headed girl at his heels (A/N: Annabeth can't see her wings)

"It's just down here." Percy said as he led her through the hall. He opened the door and stepped out onto a large balcony.

"This is my favorite part of the castle." Percy said. They went over to the railing and looked out onto the horizon. The view was amazing. You could see whole galaxies in the sky. Surrounding the castle was a large forest, except this forest seemed to be made from obsidian, same as the castle.

"Wow." Red head said.

"Yeah, you can see everything from here. Who knew they're were so many other galaxies out there." Percy said.

"Heck, earth isn't even the only one with gods. Chaos created thousands of different planets." Red said. Chaos? Who was Chaos? Why do I feel like I should know him? They leaned against the rail. Percy's hand was covered by reds. He looked over at her and she smirked.

"Yeah." Percy was about to say more but he cut himself off. He turned around and I swear he looked straight at me. His expression was dark. His eyes were even wilder than before, and he seemed to have permanent bags underneath them. His hair was slightly longer and even more messy. His skin had gotten paler, probably from being underground for a whole year. He was about 2 inches taller.

He looked at me with a cold look. Red also looked but must not have seen anything.

"What's wrong?" She asked. Percy hesitated.

"Nothing...It's nothing. I thought I saw something." He said. She nodded as if he had said this a lot.

"You know you can tell me."
Red-boyfriend stealing-head said.

"Just thought someone I knew was watching me..." He said.

"Was it...Her?" Red asked. Percy nodded. Percy drew his sword and sliced through my dream.

And I woke up.
