Missing

Discovery

Heres the next chappie. Posted MUCH earlier than expected because of a certain friend of mine *cough* Zoe826 *cough*

enjoy? I hope.

Disclaimer: PJO is not mine. Nor has it ever been or ever will.

Previously: Once he had reached his cabin, I turned around and closed the door of my own.

That was my big mistake.

Annabeth POV

I woke up the next morning with a smile on my face.

Partly because I had a dreamless sleep, which made me smile because there were no demigod dreams to scare me. Partly because of the night before, sitting by the campfire with Percy, everything so peaceful and quiet. Everything so perfect.

I reluctantly climbed out of bed and got ready. The sun was shining and there were hardly any clouds in the sky. Again, everything seemed too perfect.

Once I was ready I went outside, there wasn’t long until breakfast so I decided to go see if Percy was up yet. He probably wasn’t he’d been sleeping in a LOT lately.

I walked over to his cabin and climbed the steps. I gently knocked on the door and waited three seconds. No reply. How unusual. Note the sarcasm there.

I knocked one more time, a little louder and pressed my ear against the door. Nothing.

I knocked one more time, quite loudly and still got no reply so I just decided to go in.

I slowly opened the door and peeked inside, “Percy?”

Nothing. What’s wrong with him this morning?

I opened the door fully and stepped inside. I looked around his room, it was as messy as ever. “I really have to get him to clean this place up,” I told myself, “This place looks like a bomb hit it.”

Then I noticed his bed. It was empty. Empty as in nobody was in it. As in it wasn’t occupied.

Bathroom, I thought. But the bathroom door was open and as I walked towards it I noticed nobody inside it. Okay…this is weird.

“Percy?” I said again.

No reply.

I walked out the back door to check if he was anywhere out there.

Nope. WHERE IS HE?

I walked back inside and stopped dead in my tracks.

His room…it was…it was…CLEAN.

His bed had been made. All of his clothes had been put away and his Minotaur horn was polished and hanging off of one of the hooks on the wall.

It looked as if a bunch of magical cleaning fairies had come in and completely made-over the Poseidon cabin so it was clean.

But what scared me most was that in the thirty seconds that I had been outside and back, this cabin had gone from a complete war-zone to…to…I don’t even know what this was. It was too clean for words.

Then the breakfast horn blew and I thought “Oh well, wherever he is I’ll see him at breakfast.”

I made my way over to the dining pavilion and got my food, made my sacrifice yada-yada-yada.

I sat down with my siblings and kept looking all around and at the Poseidon table for Percy. Next thing I knew breakfast was over and he still hadn’t shown up.

Other people had noticed his absence as well and they started coming up to me:

“Hey Annabeth, where’s your boyfriend?”

“Hey Annabeth, have you seen Percy?”

“Hey Annie, do you know where Perce is?”

It eventually got annoying answering them all with the same answer, no.

I went over to Chiron wondering if he knew anything.

“Morning Chiron.”

“Good morning Annabeth. How can I help you?”

“Um, I was just wondering…you see I haven’t seen Percy this morning and I was wondering if you knew anything about where he is…”

“No I’m sorry dear, I don’t. But he can’t be far. Why don’t you just go to your first lesson and we’ll see if he shows up.”

“Okay. Thanks Chiron.”

I walked off to my first class, then the next, then the next. By lunch time there was still no sign of Percy. I was starting to worry.

“Chiron, it’s lunch time. It’s been three hours. There’s no sign of Percy whatsoever. Can I please be excused to go look for him?”

“Annabeth, I really don’t think –”

“Chiron. PLEASE.”

He sighed, “Fine, but only for a little while. I don’t want anything happening to you. If something happens come straight back.”

“Yeah, okay. BYE!”

Then I ran off towards the beach, in search of my boyfriend.
