"Did you see what he's done to Annabeth!" Luke practically screams in my ear. "Yes Luke, I did." I say through gritted teeth. I throw open the door to the Erebos cabin and march in, throwing my stuff on a bunk. Luke tosses his stuff next to mine as the others stride in. Once the door is securely locked, we all remove our masks. "Did you see Nico! He-he's all grown up...." Bianca says, her voice down to a whisper. Zoe gives Bianca a hug as a few tears fall from her eyes. "I know today has been rough on everyone and I'm sorry but we need to rest up. We don't know what threats are around the corner. Everyone hit the showers in the back and get some sleep!" I say, giving a sly smile. "Private bathrooms!" Beckendorf says, a smile rising to his face. "For my team, only the best!" I say, returning all their smiles. A cheer rises up, smacking away the once gloomy mood. They all run to the showers, a hoard of smiling friends. I shake my head and sigh, the smiles now forgotten. I sit on the bunk and feel Luke sit next to me. "What happened Luke?" I say, tightening my hands into fists. "I don't know, Perce...but that isn't the Annabeth we know." he says, putting a comforting hand on my shoulder. I meet his hard blue eyes and see that they've softened. They look more human, more capable to feeling. I nod and look down. I feel his weight lift away and I am left with the ghost of a person. I am the ghost of a boy named Percy Jackson...and I lead the Army of a man...of a god called Erebos.
