R.E.D, Annabeth

This time, only one girl came out of the light,

She had frizzy red hair and green eyes. She was wearing paint splattered clothes.

She took a look at her surrounding and sighs."Are the Fates doing this?" Her question was directed towards the Poseidon table.

"Yup, welcome, approach seeker and ask." Jabbed Travis. She arched her eyebrow and said, "Do you really want to make fun of that?"

The campers who went on quests were stunned to see someone taking the Oracle so lightly. Mostly because their Oracle was still a mummy.

"Nope, but Connor dared me to." Katie face palmed while some (Leo) immature future campers snickered.

"Full title R.E.D. Thalia says to her."

The girl shrugs and says,
"Rachel Elizabeth Dare, mortal Oracle of Delphi, wanderer of the labyrinth, owner of the most awesome hairbrush ever."

Some were stunned, Nico raised a glass and said, "a toast to the blue plastic hairbrush that hit the titan lord in the eye."

Rachel took a mock bow and the futures, especially Nico was busy cracking up.

"Hey Rachel, the human part of Kronos is still here, maybe you could do it again?" Said Thalia.

"Nope, sorry, I don't have it on me right now."

The pasts were silent. They weren't even sure of what to be shocked first.

1.the Oracle isn't a mummy anymore.
2. She hit the Titan Lord.
3. There is a human/demigod form of Kronas?

"Hey, rach, what do you think of 12 year old Percy?" Asked Katie.
"Oh my gods, that's Percy? He's such a cute twelve year old."

Percy was getting really bored of the gushing, but apparently there was no stopping it since everyone from the future, yes, even Nico, was enthralled by his cuteness. He was twelve not three for Hades's sake.

The campers were looking at the group with avid curiosity. The futures looked really happy and close, but they had a sort of protectiveness towards Percy, Annabeth and Nico. No one knew what that was about.

Just as someone was about to ask, there was another bright light. This time again, there was one girl.

The girl had curly blonde hair tied in a high ponytail. Her grey eyes were calculating, resembling a thunderstorm. Beautiful yet scary.

And she was glaring at an empousai.

The empousai was fast but the girl was faster. She slashed and hacked with her bone dagger, dodged every attack by the monster, and finally settled her dagger in the empousai's heart.

Everyone recognized the girl but the pasts including Annabeth herself couldn't believe their eyes. Luke went forward towards the girl from her back.

The girl seemed to realize that her place has changed she looked panicked, "Percy, PERCY!!! Where are you?" " Annabeth?" Luke called.

She turned around with surprising speed and the tip of her dagger rested on Luke's throat  "WHAT'S GOING ON? WHERE'S PERCY?WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM!?!?!?"

Everyone was stunned at the ferocity and desperation of her voice. The futures understood though and Thalia, Piper and Hazel ran towards her.

"Annie, calm down. Kelp head's fine he's just not here, he might be here soon though." Annabeth listened to Thalia as Luke looked at her with fear. What happened to Annabeth?

The girls quickly explained the situation to Annabeth and she visibly calmed down. She gave an cold and impassive face. She may have forgiven Luke, but that was the Luke in the future.

Annabeth opened her mouth, "Luke, Percy and I really didn't need your help with the shoes to go to the pit. We did that all by ourselves." And walked away leaving a stunned Luke.

"You're whole title Annie." Declared Thalia.

"Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena,visitor of the sea of monsters, barer of the sky, wanderer of the labyrinth, finder of the master bolt, official architect of Olympus, finder of the Athena parthenos,survivor of t- tarturus, survivor of both wars two times heroin of Olympus."

Silence, dead silence. No one talked no one moved not even a little.

Everyone knew that Annabeth was dying to get a quest, but older Annabeth looked like she just wanted peace. She looked broken, shattered even, like her life line wasn't with her.

Older Annabeth made her way towards the Poseidon table. She sat down and looked worried sick. Calypso noticed this,

"Annabeth, you're hyperventilating." She states
"There were monsters, a lot of them. We were at the beach, Percy's alone now, how can I not hyperventilate?"

"Wait so you were at the beach right?" Jason asks. Annabeth merely nods."well then the monsters are going to drown." He says simply.

"It's not just that, he, he, he......" She couldn't even finish.
Younger Annabeth was looking at her wide eyed.

Thalia nodded to Will who took a syringe and some type of drug form his pocket. He turned towards older Annabeth,"Annabeth, I'll give you a sleeping med ok?" She nods.

Will injects her with the medication, and helps to take her to the Athena cabin. Younger Annabeth let her use her bed.

After Will came back there was an awkward silence.
The Stolls tried to joke but the attempt was futile. Everyone was shocked to see Annabeth in such a state.

"I keep some medication on me in case Percy, Annabeth or Nico need it. After Tarturus, their panic attacks were really hard to get over. Nico barely needs it now and Percy and Annabeth usually calm each other down, but I keep it with me just to be safe." Will said as a mean of explanation.

The campers nodded still trying to wrap their head around the fact that the fell into Tarturus and survived.

And then there was a flash again.
