Chapter 12

Bells's POV

I woke up to agonizing screaming in the worst possible way. Turning my head, I saw Annabeth sobbing and yelling, kicking and flailing. It was a horrific sight and I couldn't help a tear fall from my eyes. It hurt me to see my sister like this, much more when I hadn't ever before, so I rushed to her side and tried to calm her down with no use. I didn't know what to do, so I did the only thing I could think of at the moment.

Grabbing my phone, I called Annabeth's best friend, Thalia. "Thalia!" I said as she answered, my face wet. "What's wrong Bells?" she asked, concerned. "Annabeth is screaming and *sob* I cant calm her down." I wiped a tear off my face. "Call Percy, Hurry up!" said Thalia. I muttered thanks to her and quickly called Annabeth's boyfriend.

"Percy, Annabeth is crying and screaming and I really don't know what to do!" By this point I sounded scared and desperate. "I'm on my way." He said hurriedly and hung up. I sat next to Annabeth and just cried while watching her. We must really look like a mess. Percy got here shortly after and rushed to her side. He grabbed her in his arms and whispered things into her ear until the screaming reduced to just crying. She turned and buried her face on Percy's shirt and I took the chance to ask him what the hell was going on. It was scary, seeing her this way. He explained that they were memories of Tartarus and that he got them too.

Annabeth's crying reduced until it was very faint, and with Percy by her side she calmed down. I was pretty tired of the crying and stress and just everything that had happened that evening, so I climbed back onto my own bed and fell asleep instantly.

I am not a very morning person, so that Saturday I woke up at about 11:00 pm and went downstairs to find Bobby and Matthew playing in front of the TV and Mr. Chase in the kitchen, grading exams. "Good afternoon." He said to me. My answer was a yawny good morning as I walked to the fridge and grabbed a bowl of grapes. I started eating them while walking upstairs, back into my room.

Suddenly my memory refreshed, remembering what happened last night and shuddered. I walked into the bathroom and did my regular morning routine, taking a shower, washing my face and applying the little makeup I ever wore: some concealer under my eyes and on some spots and some eyeliner and mascara to highlight my bright green eyes; that were rare for an Athena Child, along with my brown ombrë hair.

I changed into some brown lace-up boots, a navy blue skater skirt and a tucked in white long-sleeved T-shirt with a brown satchel. After some time, my hair was now straightened and I headed for the door, my phone in hand. It rang the familiar tune of 'Welcome To My Life' by Simple Plan that was my ringtone, the screen revealing the caller being Katie. "Hi Bells" she said. "Hi Katy-Kat, where you guys at?" I opened the front door and yelled see you later at Mr. Chase, taking a step outside and closing the door behind me. "We're in Central Park, and don't call me that. I talked to Connor and Travis and they say they are on their way to pick you up." She said. "Oh; and by the way, we have settled we're playing truth or dare when you get here."
