Missing

I Know We Will

Disclaimer: PJO isn't mine. There I said it. Happy? Good.

Annabeth POV

The rest of the day was just about as unproductive as the beginning.

We tried Iris Messaging Percy again to see if he was "in range" but to no avail.

Then we went back to Chiron and reported our findings. All of us took turns explaining the events since lunch. Luckily for us, he didn't have any classes to teach so we had his full attention.

After we were done explaining, we saw his facial expression was genuine worry.

Great. I thought to myself. Another person we've worried.

"Well this certainly isn't like anything I've experienced before. In all my years of teaching I've never heard of an Iris Message being 'out of range'." He shifted on his hooves uncomfortably, "I suggest, as dangerous as it is, that a few of you go into Manhattan and just search around to see if he's there."

I thought about it for a second, "So you want seven demigods to go into Manhattan and search for him? Seven? Do you know how many monsters that will attract?"

"Yes, yes. I understand." Chiron said while waving his hand dismissively, "Okay, do any of you not want to go into town to search for Percy?"

That was when Chris and Clarisse made some really bad excuse for why they couldn't come before awkwardly walking away towards the forest.

Why they were going to the forest, I didn't know but I had a pretty good feeling that it wasn't because they wanted some extra monster hunting practice.

So as Jake, Will and the Stolls went off to ask Argus to drive us, I pulled Chiron aside.

"What is it my dear?"

"I've been thinking…seeing as we're going into Manhattan, maybe we should take the opportunity to go visit Olympus..."

"Yes, yes. But who knows what could be happening up there? We haven't gotten any communication from any of the Olympians since last month!"

"…Well maybe this is our chance to find out."

Chiron sighed, "Alright, just promise me you'll be careful, I don't need any more drama right now."

"I promise that I'll be careful. Don't worry Chiron, we'll find him." I said while putting a hand on is shoulder. I found it really ironic that I was the one comforting himwhen it should probably be the other way around.

His tired eyes had a distant look in them and he stared up at Thalia's Pine. I took my hand back and stared over his shoulder at cluster of cabins. As I scanned the odd buildings, my gaze fell on the Poseidon cabin, and I felt the wrenching pain in my heart grow stronger and my feelings becoming more overwhelming, threatening to spill out.

I forced the feelings down. I couldn't expose my emotions, not here, not now. Right now I need to focus on finding Percy. He couldn't be that far away.

"I know we will."

(A.N.) REALLY short chappie I know but this one seemed like it only needed to be short. Things will get longer as the stories go on, just bear with me for now.

And to all of you guys who review/vote/favourite or even just READ this terrible story: I LOVE YOU GUYS!

Until next chapter,
