Annabeth's Struggle

Visitor

A/N: Alrighty, so I'm 14, congrats to those who got it right. I'm not sure if I like where this story is going. Tell me in a comment if you think I should keep going or rewrite it. If you don't voice your opinion, I will just keep writing it and ignore things said in future chapters. Thanks! Remember, deadline for artwork is July 31st!

Disclaimer: So I thought that I could have some fun and bring in a character from the series. So I captured Octavian.

Octavian: Hello? Who's there?

Me: Mwahagaha it's your worst nightmare. Now say the disclaimer, or I'll...I'll get a daughter of Hecate to sew up all the stuffed animals you destroyed and make them come to life with thoughts of revenge. Yeah, that sounds evil enough.

Octavian: GASP! You wouldn't?

Me: I would.

Octavian: CaliGirl doesn't own anyone or me!!!

Me: *Mumbles* If I owned Octavian, he wouldn't have survived the Giant War...

Annabeth's PoV:

After I packed myself, Percy, and helped Apollo pack for Cali, I knocked on the Aphrodite cabin door. Piper answered and smiled.

"Hey, Annabeth. What can I do for you?" she asked leaning on the side of the doorway.

"Is Evelyn in there?" I asked, looking around her shoulder a little. She raised an eyebrow.

"Uh, yeah, she is. Why do you need to know about her?" she inquired, confused.

"We're kinda sorta...goingonaquesttogether," I said, quickening the last part. She unfortunately understood it.

"What?!" she screeched, even more confused. I shrugged.

"We had the same dream, and now she, Percy, Cali, and I are going on a quest together," I explained. She nodded, feeling sympathy for me that I had to go with her.

"Alright, Annabelle, I'm ready to go," Ellie Bratner's nasally voice told me as she started down the path to the bus. I put an arm in front of her to stop her.

"Let's set a few rules, shall we? First, you call me Annabeth, nothing else, got it? Second, you try anything funny with Percy; you have to deal with me. Third, you say anything and I mean anything, to make Cali upset in any way-which is hard to do-you have to deal with me. Her mom was just taken, so she's extra sensitive. Understand?" I told her in a deadly calm tone through my gritted teeth. She nodded, scared, and I let her go.

"Very nice. I haven't seen her like that since she first started dating Percy and rubbed it in your face, when you set her straight." Piper applauded me. I laughed and agreed.

We all piled into the camp van and headed off to what could be the greatest achievement or worst failure of our lives.

On that happy note, Argus dropped us off in the middle of nowhere, Ohio, after five long and boring hours of driving. I thought about the prophecy. 'Four shall travel to the birthplace.' Well, it's obviously Persephone's birthplace: what is now San Francisco. (I couldn't find her birthplace, so I made it a convenient place.) I told the other three and Cali looked at me.

"My mom was born in San Francisco?" I nodded. She shrugged. I thought about the next line. 'Troubles, fear, and more they shall face.' Didn't sound pleasant, but very straight forward.

'Beware the longest hour.' What's the longest hour? It could be midnight, since some people call it the longest hour of the day, but I could be wrong...HAHAHA!!! Me, wrong? Yeah, right.
