Oh Hello all, I just couldn't stay away from this story! I will be updating my other one later today though. Thank you to all who reviewed, I love you guys. Okay I won't torment YOU anymore… storytime.
Percy's POV
How could I let this happen? I am such an idiot, those were my thoughts as Luke lashed out on me again. The white room that we were in was now plastered with red, on the floors, on the walls, and somehow even on the ceiling. My palms were sweaty from being stuck together for so long, and I was so dizzy that I felt like I was floating.
"Feeling the pain yet?" Luke asked slicing open my left side, I gritted my teeth. The screaming down the hallway still echoed into my ears… Annabeth? I couldn't bear the thought that she could be going through this to. I leaned my head against the cold pole my hands were bound around and let a few tears escape my eyes. Luke picked up his walkie talkie from behind me and some words blared on it. Luke smiled and sneered at me, "Let's go visit Annabeth." He undid my bounds from the pole than retied the rope around his wrist, and he began pulling me towards a room down the hallway. When we reached the room Luke pulled out a set of keys, unlocked the door, and shoved me in.
There were two people in there with me, one being the hated augur from Camp Jupiter, "Octavian." I growled at him. Then I turned toward Annabeth, her eyes were puffy from crying, her blonde hair was in a mess, and she was still the most beautiful girl in the world. Octavian laughed, and sat me down in a chair next to Annabeth. Annabeth threw her arms around me, and I ran my fingers through her hair. I gave her a kiss on her fore-head, than turned towards Octavian.
"What do you want from us?" I snarled, and a grin played at his lips.
"Oh that is simple." He replied letting it sink in, "Revenge." Than he began pacing the already cramped enough cell, stroking his chin. "I'm going to offer you two a choice." I looked up to him at the word choice, this was going to be evil. "Percy can continue to get tortured, or Annabeth may take his place." My face paled, so did Luke's, I know he didn't bargain to torture Annabeth. This must be part of Octavian's game, I am going in either way.
I jumped up out of my seat and answered the question, "I won't let Annabeth get tortured." Octavian grinned obviously entertained.
"Than the decision is final, we will continue to torture Percy!" Octavian replied giddily, rubbing his hands in a moment of greed.
"No!" Annabeth screeched, Octavian smirked at her.
"It's too late deary, he already answered for you!" He snickered, and Luke grabbed my arm starting to hall me out of the room.
"Annabeth I love you, just remember that." I yelled as he dragged me down the hallway. I heard Annabeth uncontrollably sobbing, Luke pulled me into the room and tied my bounds to the pole again.
"Unwise decision Jackson, noble I admit, but still very unwise." He told me as he drew backbiter; ironic name it was sure biting my back. I started feeling very faint, my vision danced with black spots… no I couldn't pass out I told my mind; but it did not oblige. I felt the world slipping between my fingers as I walked into the blackness, my only thought was; Annabeth.
Okay guys I know it's short but I wasn't gonna update this morning, and I really got to go to school. Sorry I might update once after school though. Also guest to answer your question (if anyone reads these) Annabeth didn't recognize Octavian right away because she only saw him once at the roman camp. After that she went to Tartarus would you remember one face if you saw it once than went to a very horrific place afterwards… she had other things to worry about than memorizing Octavian. She only remembered the name because well people tell terrible stories about him. Thanks, Mandy0817 OUT!
