Chapter 13: I Find Out Where My Cousin Is

The next couple of hours Bailey was asleep, so this is Percy talking.

So I just told you Bailey was asleep, right?

I went down to the augury, to find Octavian smiling at me.

He was obviously injured, but he swallowed and said "Ahhh.....You. Joy."

"What the HECK did you do to my sister?" I asked him, furiously.

He replied; "Just told her the quest."

I flopped down and thought But that's impossible! how could that be Bailey?! She's not even 16 yet.

Octavian stood and said; 'You know, some talents you don't possess."

He ran out the door.

Suddenly, I blacked out.

In my blackout, I was standing in a familiar place: Camp Half-Blood.

I saw everything that had happened while I was gone,

Annabeth talking to some brown-haired girl with kaleidescope eyes,

Jason flipping his coin, as the storm raged,

and last, a curly-haired boy with wild eyes on a metal dragon.

Then, the dream changed.

All of a sudden, I was standing in the Underworld, with Riptide in my hands.

I saw Nico Di Angelo, standing by the pit.

I ran to him, only to discover he wasn't standing, he was floating.

"Nico?" I asked, nervously.

He turned and started to speak  in his voice; "Percy! Help- Gaea, she's plann-"

But he was cut off by a different voice, Gaea's voice.

She rasped; "Yes, Son of Poseidon, little hero. I have taken Nico, and you are powerless to stop me.''

I stumbled back.

Nico's body floated away, and I heard a voice, yelling my name.

"Percy!" it yelled, "Percy, wake up!"

I sat up with a jolt, Bailey was leaning over me, concerned.

She lifted me up, gently and carried me to the barracks.

Later, she told me that I had spoken in Greek, about Gaea and Nico.

I only wondered why, as I fell asleep.
