Annabeth's POV

My breathe hitched when one of my maids tied my corset together. It was my last day to impress Luke The heir to the richest man in the village. I really wanted to help my father by marring him but I don't love him and I never will. Also you should know, some people think I have a lover outside the castle but he's far from it.

xXx

As I walked to the carriage I saw my father talking to the driver and he looked very pleased with himself. When I got there a servant offered his hand and I graciously took it mother always told me to be kind to people even if they were lower than us. My mother was already there and my father soon came after me.

"It's your last day to impress Luke" My father said

"You have been telling me that for ages."

My mother and I smiled while my father frowned at me.

"Annabeth you are 20 years old you should have been in the promise of marriage at 16."

"Yes I know but I didn't want to get married have as many kids as possible then die and you know it would have been like that"

"I don't think..." My father started

Just then a loud thump came from the roof of the carriage we all froze like statues. And when the door flew open there were three young men standing there swords ready.

"Get out of the carriage" The man on the left said.

"No" My father replied almost immediately.

But I was the first to stand and get out because I know there was know way we were getting out of this. My father grabbed my wrist and pulled me towards him.

"Let go father you know we can't get out of this one"

And he released me. I stepped out of the carriage and said

"I'm guessing you want to bind my hands"

They didn't reply they just took my hands roughly and tied coarse rope around me wrists and shoved me to my knees.

"You too out"

"No" My father replied once again

With that he put his sword at my neck and said

"Get out or I slit the princesses throat"

They got out after that and there hands were bound like mine and forced to there knees. After that was a blur. My parents were out cold and so was I. I woke up in a different carriage my hand and feet were bound and I was gagged. I had a splitting headache and the bumpy road didn't help. I saw the same three people that kidnapped me.

"Hey she's awake" One of them said

"Knock her our again she can't know where we're going"

"Can't I just blind fold her I don't want to carry her again" one man complained

"Fine" the man grumbled

They put a black piece of cloth over my eyes.

The next thing I saw was water, and a lot of it. I was tied to the mast and everybody was gaping at me like I was a trophy. A person I hadn't seen before came into sight. He had jet black hair and sea green eyes he was tall and you could see his muscles from under his shirt.

"Welcome to the Princess Andromeda Miss Chase"

I looked at him like he was an absolute idiot.

"What is the point in tying me to the mast?" I questioned

"So you don't escape" he said seriously

"We're in the middle in the ocean, where would I go?"

"You could jump over board"

"That would be really stupid thing to do"

"Yes it would"

He turned to a young man and said

"Why did you tie her to the mast"he asked curiously.

"Seemed like a good idea at the time"

"Ok then put her in a cell"

And he turned and went back to where he came from. When they put me in a cell I almost laughed at how easy it was going to be to get out of them
