Taken Away (Percabeth)

Chapter 16

Annabeth

Once I saw a black figure flying through the air, I knew it was Blackjack. I ran to the borders and embraced Percy into a hug.

"Miss me already don't we?" Percy smirked.

"Shut up Seaweed brain." I pushed him playfully .

"Chiron needs to see you." I took his hand and dragged him to the Big House. Once we reached there Chiron and Mr. D were sitting quietly at their office.

"Percy my boy! What happened?" Chiron looked at Percy with curious brown eyes. But in Chiron's eyes were a tint of fear. Mr. D looked concerned as well. What happened?

"Everything went well. Romans have made a truce. Now any news on the monster attack?" Percy asked.

"They are moving fast. They should be in Olympus by sun rise tomorrow. We must leave as soon as possible. Annabelle, go tell the camp that were leaving at sun set today which is on a couple of hours. Peter stay here we have matters to discuss." Mr. D poured a cup of wine.

"It's Annabeth." I grunted. I stomped out of the Big House. When will he get our names right?

But now I was worried about Percy. What do they have to discuss? Are those monsters trying to hurt Percy again? I gathered all the campers next to Thalia's tree. Great now I have to be the one to say an inspirational speech. I heard whispers about rumors and how we can kick there butts or die.

"I heard that there stronger. How will we defeat them?"

"Is Percy going to protect us? Or is he weak?"

"Anyone got a taco?"

"When do we leave?"

"What will happen if we loose?"

"TRAVIS! Give me back my hair straightener!!!"

I laughed at the last yell I heard. Boy, you didn't want to mess with Aphrodite's daughters. Especially if you take their stuff. I walked in front of everyone and stood on top of a huge rock. I saw everyone prepared with armor on and weapons drawn. They all looked at me waiting for a speech. There weren't a lot of campers ready for battle. We had tons wounded. I would estimate about 93 campers were ready for battle. We would usually have about 200. I took a deep breath.

"Listen up! We have survived two wars our whole life. What makes this any different? We have took down many monsters. Have we been defeated? Did we loose hope? Did we cower away? NO. We are strong proud demigods. We stand our ground and fight with all our strength. These monsters might have took our loved ones and wounded them, but we shall NOT allow them to hurt anyone any more! We will fight with strength, hope, and pride. We SHALL succeed! FOR OLYMPUS!!" I yelled.

Everyone yelled in return. The loudest were the Ares cabin. Everyone started high-fiving each other. I stood there proud of my speech. Then I jumped down and began running towards the Big House. All we needed to do is get to the Empire State Building. I gently opened the door and crawled inside. Percy and Chiron were talking along with Mr. D.

"Percy you must be careful. Watch your loved ones and make sure they don't capture them. We don't want your fatal flaw getting you kidnapped again." Chiron whispered.

"Especially Annabelle. I do fear that without you, Olympus might fall. These monsters are getting stronger. The gods keep talking non sense about these monsters and I'm getting sick of it. Get rid of monsters then we can all have a glass of wine and have a party." I could feel Mr. D rolling his eyes.

"I understand. I don't know why you are so worried." Percy replied.

"Percy my dear boy, I'm worried about the future. I must not tell you but bad things are coming there way with this battle. I can't bare to have another student lost." Chiron sniffled.
