Chapter 2
Percy
That night, the camp had all of the Romans join them in the pavilion for dinner. Percy had lost his appetite though.
He stared at his pizza, not touching it, just staring. He sighed and leaned back in his chair. He looked up and noticed Annabeth giving him a weird look.
He mouthed 'what?' and she just shook her head and turned back to her siblings.
The Romans were laughing and chatting away with their friends at Camp Half-Blood, yet Percy was still alone at the Poseidon table.
He looked over and saw Hazel and Frank whispering and pointing to him. Percy frowned and stood up.
He walked over to them, wondering what they were talking about. He walked over to them and they both smiled innocently.
"What are you two talking about?" he asked, looking down.
"Nothing!" Frank protested. Percy looked up and gave him a weird look.
"Frank.." Hazel said in a warning tone. She gave Percy an intense look.
"Are you alright Percy?" she asked. Percy frowned.
"I'm fine! Why does everyone keep asking me that?"
"You looked nervous," Hazel said softly. Percy shook his head.
"I'm fine," he lied. Was he really showing how nervous he was? Was it that obvious to everyone?
Percy turned on his heel and started walking down to the beach. He needed to clear his head….again.
When he reached the beach he saw a man with jet black hair in khaki shorts and a Hawaiian shirt standing by the water. His back was turned to Percy.
"Dad?" Percy said in shock, walking down to Poseidon. Poseidon turned, startled.
"Oh hi Percy," he said with a warming smile, though he held many different emotions in his eyes as he stared at sea.
"What are you doing here?" Percy asked. His father sighed and kept his eyes focused on the water.
"I wish I could warn you.." his father muttered, looking down as guilt washed over his face.
This caught Percy's attention and his head shot up quickly.
"Warn me about what?" he demanded. Poseidon looked at him.
"You know, don't you?" he asked Percy, his voice faltering.
"I know something is going to happen, but I don't know what," Percy explained softly. Poseidon sighed and ran his fingers through his hair.
"Percy, you're playing with fire here-"
"Just tell me what's going to happen, Dad, please!" Percy begged. He had to find out. This was killing him.
"I'm afraid I can't son, but I can tell you to be prepared. The Olympians are not happy and I'm sure some wish for you to be dead," Poseidon said. Percy's face paled.
"Why? What's going to happen?"
"I can't say anything else, Percy, just be prepared," Poseidon said.
Percy tried to protest, but his father was already sinking into the water, leaving only a puddle where he once stood. Percy let out an angry groan. Why wasn't anyone telling him anything?
"Percy?" a soft voice said. Percy spun around and saw Annabeth standing at the top of the hill, "what was Poseidon talking about?"
"What are you doing here?" Percy asked quickly. Annabeth frowned and put her hands on her hips.
"Don't answer my question with another question," she growled. Percy walked up to her and took her hands.
"You know how you asked earlier if I was alright?"
"And you lied to me?" she spat, "Percy, I can tell when you're upset or worried! I know you." Guilt washed over Percy. He shouldn't have lied to her, but he really had no choice.
"I know," he murmured.
"Then why can't you tell me what's wrong?!" she demanded. Percy sighed and looked up into her stormy grey eyes.
"I don't know what's wrong. All I know is something bad is going to happen, and soon," he said. The angry expression on her face seemed to fade out and worry replaced it.
"Why didn't you tell me this?" she asked, furrowing her eyebrows together.
"I didn't want you to worry," Percy protested. That meeting with his father worried him more. The Olympians wanted him dead? What was that supposed to mean?
It obviously didn't mean they wanted give him a friendly hello.
"I could've helped you and….why do you think something bad is going to happen?" she asked. Percy sighed and sat her down on the beach.
They both sat at the top of the hill. Percy looked down and drew random patterns in the sand.
"I've been having these weird dreams. Weirder than the normal nightmares. And I've been staying up late. I can never fall asleep. It's weird and really getting on my nerves," he said, looking extremely tired.
"Percy…what happened in those dreams?" Annabeth asked, placing her hand on top of Percy's.
He shook his head and looked back up.
"I was in this dark cabin in the middle of the woods. I didn't know where, but it seemed so familiar, like I've been there before. There was this-" Percy was cut off by a loud shriek coming from the camp.
He and Annabeth both looked at each other then jumped up.
They ran towards the pavilion, toward the scattering campers. Many of the campers pulled the swords, daggers, or bow and arrows.
Standing in the middle of the pavilion was a large silver wolf. The wolf's eyes were a glowing amber color.
Her whole body was shining and her tail was white, matching her white paws and ears. She had a large moon necklace around her neck.
Percy froze as soon as he saw her. He knew this wolf. He had most definitely seen her before. No doubt about that.
The wolf growled at the campers who threatened to attack her. Everyone backed up, scared by the giant dog.
As soon as the wolf saw Percy, her eyes widened.
Her tail wagged slightly, but she stopped it. She took slow steps towards Percy, but for some reason, it didn't scare or bother Percy.
Annabeth turned to Percy, but he kept his eyes locked on the wolf.
The two had an intense staring contest and everyone around them was absolutely quiet.
"Percy," Annabeth whispered, "what is-"
But the wolf growled at Annabeth and she instantly shut her mouth. Percy continued staring at the wolf. Her necklace started glowing brighter and brighter until everything seemed lit up.
The only problem was…Percy blacked out.
The wolf picked up the unconscious Percy and campers started panicking. She howled angrily and quickly ran off, disappearing into the forest, leaving the campers to wonder where she had taken Percy and why.
