Annabeth

I woke up. My head was swirling in circles and little colorful dots flashed in front of my eyes like when you faint or stare at a light to long. I was on the ground and had no idea where I was. It looked like a cave, it was dark and cold. I could hear some slight sounds in the cave farther back. I tried to get up when I realized my leg was cuffed and was secured to the cave wall.

I noticed a figure next to me. It was Percy. He looked terrible, his arms were scraped and bruised, and his face had a deep scratch on it. I crawled over to him to wake him up.

"Percy..." I whispered. He didn't move.

"Percy..." I whispered again shaking harder, and he still didn't move.

"Percy!" I yelled and shook harder as the tears started to cloud my vision. I couldn't lose Percy I couldn't. Not now. Please Percy. I felt his heart beat, I couldn't feel anything. I don't think he was breathing.

"Percy...No..." I started crying, I couldn't lose Percy. I wasn't like me to cry, but if I lost Percy... I shuddered at the thought. One tear slowly slid down my face and onto Percy's cheek. One of his eyes slowly opened, and he blinked at me.

"Hi." He whispered.

"Thank the gods." I replied as I rubbed the tears out of my eyes.

"Were you crying?" He asked sheepishly.

"No. Of course not." I replied trying to keep my dignity intact.

"Why?" Percy demanded.

I tried to make and excuse but I couldn't think fast enough. "I thought I lost you..."

He was still on the ground and he pulled himself up then, "Really?"

"Yeah..." My cheeks turned bright red.

"Okay." He smiled, but the scratch on his face obviously hurting him as he made a pained face.

I had absolutly no recollection of where we were or how we got here. "Percy?"

"Yeah?"

"Where are we?" I asked him.

"Um..." He started to say. He got his thinking face on and remained quiet, trying to remember what happened.

"Grover...Hades...Luke..." He started to say.

"What happened."

"They turned on us. Well, Luke was already turned but Grover..." Percy said painfully. Grover turning on us? Hades turning on the Gods?
