Chapter One

I woke up and instantly knew I was on the beach of Camp Half Blood. The waves were crashing by my side making me feel at ease. The sea always had that effect on me, I guess it's what you get when you're the son of Poseidon. I motioned to move, but my body felt stiff as a rock. With a lot of struggle I managed to roll onto my stomach and look by my beach house. The first thing I saw was the beautiful golden locks with a hint of gray. Annabeth.

I tried to get up to embrace her in my arms but miserably failed. I felt a shock of pain shoot up my back as I instinctively thought of the worst. I slowly looked toward the center of my back to see an arrow sticking right out of it, right at my Achilles' heel. How did anyone know that? The only two people that know of that is Annabeth and… a sea of horror struck me and I looked back to see Annabeth. She was fighting a man with full Greek armor on the back of a dragon.

Annabeth was holding her own pretty well but from the looks of it, it didn't look like she could last much longer. As I watched her fight I saw the man jump off his dragon and lunge at Annabeth giving me a clear look at his face. Behind the helm I could make out two things. An eye patch in one eye and in the other, a deathly golden eye that I knew all too well. Knowing that Annabeth was at the end of her ropes, I willed the sea to surround me to give me strength to go help her.

As the sea reached my side I felt the waves pull me up off the sandy shores but instead of going towards Annabeth I was being willed away from her. I struggled to fight the waves off and realized it wasn't the water that was pulling me, it was a strong arm that felt strangely familiar but I really didn't care, my first priority was trying to save Annabeth. The more I struggled the more the man seemed to fight back and pull me farther and farther away. I kicked and struggled to free the man's grasp and with every second never tearing my eyes off the battle that was occurring.

The dragon snapped at Annabeth as she easily side stepped and gouged the dragon in the eye. I heard a roar from the dragon as it thrashed in pain and anger throwing Annabeth off balance. The man took the opportunity to sneak around Annabeth while her guard was down. He pulled out his sword and thrust his weapon toward Annabeth's exposed back. I watched in horror as the sword went cleanly through her body just like a hot knife through a stick of butter. As she fell to her knees the dragon regained its composure and with a snap of its tail, sent her flying 30 yards onto the edge of the sea. Tears were welling up in my eyes as I tried to say her name but I knew it was futile because her body was just a lifeless, bloody mess. I kicked and fought with new found power and just as I thought I was free, felt a wave of darkness cloud my vision.
