"Do you want to drive?" Percy asks Tyson. He nods.

"No one has ever trusted me before," Tyson states. I feel sorry for him. Percy hands him the canteen and shows him how to hold it. Percy did next to me. I lay back and put my hand in the water again.

"Maybe you should have been daughter of Poseidon," Percy informs.

"Then you wouldn't be the almighty hero," I joke around with him. He lightly punches me. I laugh at him. I hear a plop. I look at Tyson. He looks embarrassed. I notice he has dropped the canteen.

"Nice one," Annabeth says rudely.

"Ignore her," I tell Tyson. The most then fades.

"I think you need to reapply the mist," Annabeth tells him. He pulls out a container, but nothing comes out.

"I think it's broken," he informs her. Sharp rigid triangles start circling us.

"Tell me those are sharks," she tells Percy.

"Those aren't sharks," I inform her. The boat starts going to a whirl pool in the middle.

"Percy," I shout.

"I'm trying," he snaps back.

"This must be outside of Poseidon's realm," Annabeth states. I nod my head. We go into the whirl pool. Instead of going into water, we start riding down a stream rushing fast. Water splashes in our faces. We drop a few feet, then the boat floats slowly along the path. Ships and planes scatter the cave we're in. The walls and roof glows.

"Were are we?" Tyson asks.

"I think we're in a stomach," Percy replies. A familiar voice fills the stomach.

"Clarisse?" I ask.

"GET TO WORK YOU WORTHLESS, GOOD FOR NOTHING CREATURES," she shouts.

"Clarisse," we say together. We ride up towards a boat full of people working. A familiar female stands the railing. She is commanding a crew of the undead that is loyal to Ares.

"What are you doing here?" Clarisse asks.

"We were distracting Luke for you until I got captured," I reply.

"You got captured?" Clarisse asks in shocked.

"For some..." I stop in the middle of the sentence. I go into a vision.

         *********************

Clarisse is shooting at the stomach. She runs into the room with the steering wheel in it. Percy steers the boat through the hole. After a while, the boat appears above water, and everyone is safe.

     ************************

"Liz," Annabeth asks, "are you okay?"

I nod. I notice I'm on the floor. I must have fallen during my vision.

"Everyone go down below," Clarisse orders. Everyone except Percy and her go to the lower level. I sit in a corner just in case I have another vision. Annabeth and Tyson sits next to me. We don't say a thing. Time seems to go by slowly. But finally Percy runs down the stairs.

"Your good now," he tells us. We all go up stairs. The Sun shines brightly. Water is still on the boat. The coolness feels good on my feet.

"Did you lose your shoes again?" She asks. This is not a new thing. I'm always losing my shoes.

"Yep," I reply popping the p.

"What's the excuse this time?" She asks.

"I was struggling to get away from my kidnappers," I tell her. "Okay Mom." I add sarcastically.

"Watch it Beauty Queen," Clarisse warns. I laugh at that. Percy is looking at the water, mumbling something about numbers.

"What are you talking about over there?" I ask him.

"We're going the wrong way," he tells me. He points the way he's facing. "We need to go that way."

Clarisse orders to change directions. Before long, we come to an island. On it is an abandoned amusement park. Tyson explains that it was created, but all the demigods were killed.

"Awesome," I say. Everyone stares at me. "What?"

"Your very violent," Clarisse says. Okay, that means something if Clarisse says that. I smile and grab my sword.

"Ready to get the Fleece?" I ask. Another vision takes over.

       **********************

I'm laying on the ground. Apollo is holding my head. Tears coming down his face. I'm not moving. Not even breathing. Percy, Annabeth, Grover, Tyson, and Clarisse is surrounding us, crying. Percy is holding the Fleece. A rock is going right through my stomach. I'm going to die soon. And I can't tell anyone.

           **********************

"You are having way to many visions," Annabeth says. I just nod. Percy I'd pretty much holding me up. I stand up by myself. I have to warn them some how. We get in a life boat. Clarisse's crew lowers us into the water. Percy rows us to shore. I can see a roller coaster that leads underground. We all hop out of the boat. I pull Annabeth back as everyone gets ahead of us.

"Can you make me a promise?" I ask her. She nods. "You must not tell anyone about this promise. Swear on the River of Styx until you do the promise."

"I swear," she says.

"If anything happens to me, tell Apollo I love him," I tell her.

"That's what you saw in your vision," she says. "You dying."

I just nod. She gives me a hug. A tear escapes from me. I quickly wipe it away. At least I have some loyal friends. We catch up with the others.
