10x the Trouble

Annabeth

By now, my heart was jumping around my body. This morning, Piper burst through the doors of my cabin shaking her head and tears streaming down her face.

"He's gone, Annabeth. He's gone." She had said.

I stayed up all night with Malcom trying to find more information about Mesperyian. There's not much because she's a minor goddess but still no clues on why she's taking all the boys. I havn't had any dreams these past few days which is rare for demigods but my mind is constantly reaching for an answer and I'm just so worn out.

I lent her my shoulder to cry on for a while. Malcom had left us alone and it reminded me of when Piper had been there for me when we were in Ancient Sparta about to defeat the giant Mimas in the Temple of Fear. She needed me too, and so did Hazel. I had to be there for them, even if it meant comforting Calypso..Loosing someone close to you is like losing apart of yourself, trust me I know.

I was in the Hades Cabin with Percy, Hazel, Calypso, Piper, Nico, and Grover. I've never been inside the Hades cabin but I'm pretty sure I know why. Nico's bunk was shaped like coffin and Hazels's side of the cabin had curtains hanging up for privacy I'm assuming.

Hazel looked like a mess. I don't believe she left her cabin since Frank went missing. There were tissues all over her bunk, her hair was pulled back in a ponytail, she wore her purple Camp Jupiter shirt, jeans, and purple ankle socks. Piper sat cross legged on Nico's bunk, her head in her hands. Calypso stood a few feet away from me arms crossed and staring intently at nothing on the floor. When Grover came he gasped and complained that it smelled like death in here, which earned a glare from Nico.

We had already went to Chiron and he said the same thing. 'We have to wait for more information.' I walked out while he was addressing his speech about how dangerous Mesperyian is, he's telling me something I already know, I don't have time.

I broke the silence. "Percy, you realize you're most likely going to leave tomorrow. Wherever you're going to end up, try to make contact with us. Don't forget your empathy link with Grover." He nodded. I could tell he was trying to seem confident, but I could see the nervousness in his eyes.

"Annabeth," Calypso's voice was hardly a whisper, in fact I'm not even sure she actually said anything. "Go with Percy to his cabin tonight."

Everyone snapped their heads to look at her shocked, including me. "You know that's against the ru-"

"I do not care. You have broken the rules before, I'm sure. We all know Percy is next so stay with him. You are our only way to our first clue, do what must be done." Her voice was stern and so was the look she was giving me.

I don't trust Calypso and I dont think I ever will. I'm still trying to figure out what she is capable of, but everyone in the cabin looked at me for an answer.

"Please." Hazel looked up at me from her bunk, another tear sliding down her cheek.

I ran my hands through my hair and nodded. "Yeah. Sure, okay. Okay."
