A/N: So... This is my first PJO fanfic. Yup, so I'm pretty excited... :D This a pretty short chapter, but that's because it's a little bit like a prologue.

I used about three different kind of fonts.

Italics: Main character's thinking

Bold: A person who's name I shall not say. And, since my computer is messing up, another person's who name I shall not say...

Normal: Main character describing stuff, her dialogue

That's about it. So, enjoy~

W-where am I? Everything h-hurts...

It felt as if some stabbed me with the sharpest knife in the world everywhere, and then put poison in me. My blood felt as it were on fire, raging through me and eating everything inside me.

"Everything will become clear soon, little demi-god. Or, at least, soon to be demi-god..."

I can't see. Why can't I see?

Everything around me was darkness, pure, unadulterated darkness. I tried opening my eyes, why can't I open my eyes?

"It's almost over, my wonderful creation... Then I shall have my revenge."

W-who are you? Why can't I talk?

I couldn't do anything, only hear and feel the pain inside me. I tried moving my hand. Nothing, not even a twitch. This is getting scary, I don't like this...

"Don't worry, you can't move or talk. That's natural, Hannah."

Hannah? Who's that? Is he talking about me? I c-can't remember anything.

Why can't I remember anything? I feel as if everything was on the tip of my tongue, begging to be remembered. As if it was just in front of me, so close for me to touch, but then it runs away. Everything was a void, a deep and empty void. The pain is going away though...

"Almost over. Hmm? What's that? No... It can't be."

What's what? Wait... What's that noise?

There was a banging noise, like someone knocking on a door over and over again. An annoying and insistent rapping.

"Guards, surround the perimeter! Don't let them near here!"

Them? Who's them? What's he talking about?

Suddenly, the rapping stopped. I could feel the tension in the air, even if I couldn't see or anything, I can just imagine that guy who keeps talking was tensing up, panicking... It was as if I could take a butter knife and slice right through the tension, that's how thick it is. Then there was a beeping noise, the kind that you hear on the movies when a person in a hospital is dieing. You know, the high pitched beep, beep, beep noise.

"Sir! We're losing her!"

"What? Right now? Fine, then! I'll show them not to mess with me..."

"Are you sure, sir? After all the hard work...?"

"Do not question me, do as I say! They are getting closer, they cannot have her at all, let alone alive! This the only way."

"Yes, sir."

W-what's happening? There's a tugging sensation on my hand, at least I think it's my hand. I feel dizzy...

My head felt as if someone smacked a sledgehammer against it. Multiple times. It's getting harder to breathe... My lungs feel as if they're on fire. My heart aches, I don't know what's happening. I'm scared... Save me...
