It couldn't be worse…could it?
Chapter One: Running
Percy's POV
Running…running so fast that left and right merged into one another. Whatever it is…chasing after me like a wolf out for blood. A pair of glowing blue eyes burned into my back, as the creature hunted me through the woods to no end. I don't know how long I've been running…hours? I don't know why I didn't turn and fight, but something compelled me to run. I ran into a clearing, and then I felt the sting of a needle in my arm. The last thing I remember seeing is a pair of rough, uneven wings.
3rd POV
Am…am I dead?
Can anyone hear me?
Why…
Where am I…?
Hello…?
Angel shook her head. What was that? A thought filtered into her head, and she looked down in its' direction to see Erasers surrounding a crumpled figure.
"Hey, Max…" she said, coming to a stop.
"Yeah, sweetie?" Max said, turning to look at the seven-year-old.
"I just heard something strange…" With that, Fang stopped and came back to hover with Angel and Max.
"What did you hear?" Fang asked, in his usual dark manner.
"A voice from down there…and there's Erasers." Angel then swooped down towards the collapsed figure with a panicked Max yelling out behind her.
"ANGEL! What are you doing?" Max used her high-speed flying to leap away from the flock (who were racing after Angel) and tried to stop her before she could land. But, even so, she flew right into the trap, with the words 'I've got to save him' pounding in her ears as she and the rest of her flock were sedated and taken away with the boy in the cage next to her.
