What happened next? I don't know. All I remember was seeing Annabeth. More of a hologram really. Thing was.....I really thought it was her. She looked just like the beautiful, amazing, smart Annabeth that I love so much. So I thought it was her. I was pretty stupid to think it was her. She was sparkly and silver!!
We were all sitting in a circle under a giant green tree in the park. It was close to noon so lots of kids and their parents were playing in the park. Jesslyn wanted to go play. We let her go.
Some of the parents gave Misha and I weird looks. Like we were Jesslyn's parents. I mean, I'm like 23!! And Misha's how young?! Like 16?
But let me get to what really happened. While Misha whipped up a picnic for Jesslyn with her wand I went to go look for a bathroom.
My blue shoes squished down on the soggy green grass. Kids screamed with laughter behind me. And thats when I saw her. She walked towards me in a silver Greek strapless dress. She wore no shoes and her curly blond hair flowed down over her shoulders. I wanted to sweep her off her feet.
But I knew she wan't there. Then I heard her speak to me. The sound of her voice was like a diamond hitting clear waters.
"Percy.....follow me..." She whispered. Her grey eyes sparkled in the sunlight. Was this a trap? The hydra didn't have that kind of power. Unless this would help me. I had a good feeling.
"Percy.....please follow me...." she whispered again. This time she was a foot away from me. Her silver hand reached mine and it was soft.
"How can I trust you?" I said.
"I don't know if you can. I'm not annabeth. But you've met me before. I'm good, and I can help you save Annabeth. I love her like you do."
"But you are Annabeth!"
"No Percy. You know who I am." Then, out of the blue, a grey owl flew in and landed on her shoulder. In the middle of the day, an owl flew out onto her shoulder.
I knew who she was. Her name just flew into my head. I ran back to Misha and Jesslyn.
"We need to go NOW!!!" I know where to go!!"
"Huh?" Jesslyn asked with strawberry jam across her face. A PB&J was in her hands.
Misha looked like she understood and a quickly used a small spell to clean up our stuff. Then she grabbed Jesslyn's sticky hand and ran toward me.
She knew what I meant. I ran towards where I had been before. But no one was there, but the grey owl sitting on a branch.
"Where'd she go?" I asked confused. The owl hooted next to me. I looked at it right into its eyes.
"Hi Athena." I said.
***********************************************
After we followed the owl (or is it Athena?) she led us to a giant oak tree in the forest close to the park. A small stream flowed close by and I saw a dragonfly buzz by.
"Where next?" Misha asked. The owl hooted again.
She flew down and landed on a giant branch on the oak tree. Immediately a bark door opened up from the tree. Half the the ground in front of the door opened up too. Just big enough for a hydra to slither through.
We had found the hiding spot of the hydra.
