Maylin Barricks's POV:
June 27, 2011 Being held in a warehouse, Unknown place.
I've been in this place for a month now, and my captors showed no signs of letting me go free, I don't know exactly where I'm being held at, all I know it's cold in this place, and there is no sun shine, so I must be underground somewhere. I had a black bandana tied tightly around my eyes, my feet and legs was bound by rope and duct tape, my arms was tied behind my back. The right side of my face is finally healing up, I guess, it's not longer puffed up like it was before, once I got to this place. I could barely opened my right eye three days ago, now, I can open it, it hurts, but not that much like before. They placed me on a blanket, that was warm, I tried not to move a lot, so I can stay warm, at least once a day, usually a few hours after I wake up, the bandana and the duct tape around my mouth will be removed. There was always the same girl that would do it, she would give me something to eat and drink then put the bandana back over my eyes and the duct tape over my mouth.
I woke up only two hours ago, so I know it wasn't time for me to get feed, plus I can hear many voices, it wasn't a lot, just four, it's usually seven voices that I would here. I got yanked up by the scalp of my hair, then shoved my back on to the hard cold wall, I tried to muffle my whimpered, that really hurted. I felt a strong hand on the top of my shoulders, the other hand went behind my head, untieing the bandana that fell upon my lap. I blinked my eyes a couple of times to get use to the bright light, when my eyes finallly adjusted I was two people in front of me. The girl that always feed me when the others left, she was pale, shoulder length straight midnight black hair with bangs just at her eyebrows, she had cold coffee brown eyes. I recognize her, I never really get to see alll of her, just the eyes, at first I didn't recognize her, because of how cold her eyes is. It was Valkyrie Briley, her and I use to be best friends back at Valley Forge Military Academy and College, her and I use to be so close, she was the only demigod at the academy, I didn't feel so alone, she understanded what I was going threw. Her and I was going to be sisters, my dad, Noelle dates Valkyrie's mother, Valerie, who we both dislike with a passion.
On the right of Valkyrie was some one else I recognize, Dylan Catoloni, he was my neighbor back in Aliquippa, PA, a small town in Pennsylvania, we've been neighbors for five years before he moved to Allentown, I always had a crush on him, he was a year older than me, I haven't seen him in a year and a hlaf, I guess he was the one that kidnapped me, Valkyrie probably helped him also. Dylan had slightly tanned skin, round gray-blue eyes, ear length ash blonde hair. Valkyrie came up behind me with a jagged dagger in her hand and cut the ties behind my back then did my feet and ankles, Dylan just watched, I guess to make sure she doesn't do anything funny.
A scary smiled appeared on Dylans face, "You didn't imagine that I would kidnapp you huh?" His laugh wasn't even the same anymore, it was evil. "I had been watching you for the past four months for my master," I tried my hardest not to snort, Dylan was never the type to take orders from anybody. "My master showed great interest in you Maylin. So would you join the cause, help my master, Valkyrie's father, come to power, that is rightfully his?"
Is he serious? He knew me for how many years? What in his right mind would think that I would help so probably crazy lunatic come into power, her must be out of his damn mind with that. "Gods no," holding in my anger.
"We setting you free Maylin," I didn't like how he said that, he was to calm for my liking. "But before you leave, I have something to give to you." He grabbed me by the hair and pulled me up along the wall, he reached into his back pocket and pulled out a dagger, oh shit. He ran his nose from my ear down to my chin, which caused me to shiver, he chuckled at that, the one I always here, not the evil one. "Before you go Maylin, if you ever wondered, I do like you." Is he fucking serious? I should be freaking excited right now, but no, Mr. Dumbass wants to tell me that now, when he's about to kill. "But I really have to do this," he pressed the dagger under my shirt, not that far from my belly button, beads of blood was rolling down my stomach, he pressed down harder, it was breaking the skin this time and he cut the dagger sharp and fast across my stomach, then stopped at the left side of my ribcage. I cried out in pain, the wound was burning, the blood was flowing fastly down my stomach, hitting the floor, "Run," Dylan whispered in my ear, he shoved me away from him.
At first I didn't run, I really couldn't the pain was unbearable, Dylan came up behind me and shoved me once again, "Why are you walking? Run Maylin. NOW," Dylan yelled, a sense of urgency in his voice.
I ran passed Valkyrie, holding my stomach, I yanked the door open and ran out, I was in a forest, inside a run down log cabin. I almost felled when I tripped over a branch, I turned to look behind me, they was just standing in the door way, just looking at me, they really going to let me go, I can't believe this. I continuted to run, I couldn't run as fast as I would like to but this was fast enough, I'm a great runner, dad told me so, I always beat Valkyrie and Dylan in a foot race.
I can feel my heart pounding in my ears, my vision was becoming blurry, my breathing became labored, behind me I can remotely hear the footsteps of my captors behind me. They was playing some type of game with me, the cut the left side of my rib cage with a sword, then let me go, I was running threw a forest, branches whipping by me fast, slapping against my wound and my face, but I didn't care, I wanted to get far away from them. When I thought they wasn't going to chase me, I heard them behind me, laughing, calling out my name, telling me to come back. They are still far behind me, even though I was wounded I still very fast, but I know soon that I will black out any minute now, I lost a lot of blood. In front of me was a huge tree, that I knew how to climb, dad use to teach me how to climb up trees when I was younger, he always say just in case I need to get away, this is the perfect time to use my training. There was a branch not to far up from my head, I streched my arms above my head, gripped the branch tightly and pulled myself up, I wanted to take a quick break, but I know my captors can still see me. So again I reached for the branch that was closetest to my head and pulled myself up.
It took me at least ten minutes before I got to the middle fo the tree, where there was no possible way they could find me. You did good, Helen cooed in my ear, I couldn't really say anything to her, but I just smiled a little. I heard their foot steps stopped at the tree I was in, oh gods, they found me, I don't know if I can fend them off, I'm too weak as it is.
"Where is she?" Dylan growled, oh I should of known that he was just fucking with me
"I don't know, she couldn't have gotten far, could she? She's severly wounded," Valkyrie answered him
"Come on, lets go before your dad comes," Dylan said, his voice was rough, cold.
"Fine," I peaked a little, for I can see them walk away, Dylan walked in front of Valkyrie, he was five feet in front of her when she turned and looked directly at me. She nodded at me, and mouthed "I find you some help, stay where you are." She continued walking behind Dylan, then pointed to the trees, what how could she, I thought she was going to help me, I guess that was a lie. Dylan glanced back and gave me a small smile and nodded his head, the both of them continued walking in forest sometimes looking back at me.
I leaned against the body of the tree, and closed my eyes, I'm just going to close my eyes for a few minutes then I'll leave before they come back with their master.
-Flashback-
Dylan and I was sitting on my front porch, he handed me a vanillaice cream cone with rainbow sprinkles, my favorite, he had just a plain chocolat ice cream cone. We didn't say nothing to each other, we just watched the ice cream man drive off futher down the street.
"May?" My name came out more like a question, Dylan looked at me, he wasn't smiling, he always smiled.
"What's up Dyl?" I asked, liking the cool feeling of the ice cream sliding down my throat.
"I have something to tell you," Dylan told me, he bit off a piece of his cone and chewed it. Once he finished chewing the piece, he turned and looked at me and said, "We're moving to Allentown in a few day, we already have everything back."
"Okay," I didn't know what to say, he's my best friend, my crush, I don't want him to leave, not with the she demon Valarie, Valkyrie wasn't here, she stays with her grandmother in Philly.
"I call you everyday," Dylan wrapped his right arm around my shoulders, pulling me closer to him. "I promise," he pressed his chocolate lips on my temples, which caused me to push him away.
-End of Flashback-
June 29, 2011 Palinda, Uncharted Island of Hawaii
When I woke up, I screamed. For one I wasn't in my tree that I hid out in, I was in a warm and comfortable bed. The room was beautiful don't get me wrong,the colors of the room was white, gold and a icy blue color, to the left of the door was a shelf full of books, the further along the wall are two desks, one had a stack of neat papers on it, the other was barren. On the right side of the wall is the bed that I am in, it was a canopy bed, the top of it had white fabric,dangliny slightly, the four posts had white sheer fabric that had gold grecian design stiched on the edges, the sheets and the pillows were icy blue and black. Three feet away from the foot of the bed was a 42 inch plasma flat screen t.v. on a t.v. stand, on the bottom shelf was a dvd player. Beyond that is a pair of white French doors, that leads to the balcony, I guess. On the far left is a door and on the far right is another door.
The door on the far left opened up, a guy came out, he was shirtless, with a shirt in his hands, with a pair of dark gray jeans on. He was about 6'0 or 6'1 in height, slightly tanned skin, he had black wavy hair, that spilled a little over his shoulders, he was fit, athletic build, muscular. Yummy, Helen purred, I contained a groan.
Really Helen can't you stop being all pervish now? I asked her, pratically pleading with her.
The guy sat down on the edge of the bed and scotted closer to me, "Are you okay?"
"Where am I?" Ignoring his question. What kind of question is that, of course I'm not okay, I don't know where the Hades I am.
He tugged his shirt over his head, then looked at me with those memorizing almond shape electric blue eyes, "You're at Camp Troy, that's on a Island called Palinda which is a uncharted island of Hawaii." He explained to me, he moved a piece of my chocolate brown my hair behind my ear and I flinched away. "Sorry about that, I'm Alexander Hawke, by the way."
He seems nice, but Dylan almost seemed nice to, before he cut me up, "Maylin Barricks." I told him my name, "How did I get here?"
"Our leader, came to me and told me to get you, she said she been waiting for you for two years now, that it's the right moment to come and get you," he told me. "When I went to find you at the school you went to, they said that you've been missing for a month, so I went searching for you. I finally found you, I wasn't that far from the tree you climbed into. You a good climber, definately when you are wounded."
"Thank you," my voice was hourse, I know I was blushing at the compliment.
"When the guy and girl was going deeper into the forest, I climbed up the tree for you and took you back here," he finished the story. "I should of came earlier for you."
"It's fine," I said, it sounded like he was beating himself up about it.
He shook his head, "It's not alright, I got yelled at when I came back here, she was pissed that I waited so long to pick you up." He reached over on to the nightstand by his left side, "Here you go, this is nectar, the lady of the house wants you to drink this once you woke up, it's not poisned." He added after he saw the look on my face. I took the glass from him and bought it to my lips, it tasted good, like vanilla ice cream with rainbow sprinkles. "How do you feel?"
"Okay I guess," I confessed. "You didn't kidnapp did you?"
He let out a hearty laughed and took the glass away from me, "No I didn't kidnapp you Maylin."
"Okay, just making sure," I leaned back on to the pillows.
Alex looked at me, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips, "You know you and I do share this room." I groaned, I wanted to yell but I'm to weak and tired to do so. "Don't worry I won't touch you when you sleeping. You on the other hand, don't like it when I have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night." I felt a blush creep up on my face, I don't remember that. "You was all hugged up on me this morning, you didn't want to let me go at all. Did you have a bad dream or something?"
"No," I mock glared at him. "Did you really have to embarass me?"
"How am I embarassing you when it's only you and I in the room?" Smart ass. "Your bathroom and closet is the far right door. Get dress Sweetz we have a breakfast and a meeting today. Don't worry I wait for you."
"Don't call me Sweetz," I grumbled. I moved my feet to the side of the bed and scooted of the edge of the bed. My legs felt wobbly, and my ears was ringing, I almost lost my balance, but I felt hands around my waist. I looked up and saw Alex looking at me in concern, her wrapped his left arm around my waist and I clutched on to his arm, holding him tight, as he walked me to the door. "Thanks."
"No problem Sweetz," I groaned, which caused him to chuckle. "I'm going to call you Sweetz from now on."
"No you not," I said, leaning against the bathroom door. "If you keep calling me Sweetz I will be calling you Alley."
He shrugged his shoulders, "I don't care, only you will be calling me that."
