CHAPTER 2
Three Days Later
"Being blind is so strange," the girl with the blindfold said.
"Well get used to it! You can't take it off until we convince them we're not monsters, or anything else they can call us," the girl covered in bandages whined.
"And at the rate we are going, we will never get them to listen to us," said the girl with jet black hair.
"We could just leave you know. Not like that's a problem," the girl in bandages said.
"Yes we could, but, as I have told you before, I want to see if I can figure out how we got here in the first place. You know its not everyday we wake up in the middle of the night, in a strange field, we don't remember falling asleep in, to your screams, Bianca!" the girl with black hair said.
"Your right Athora, something like that only happens every other day!" the bay with gloves said.
The room erupted in laughter. But the laughter came to an abrupt halt when Chiron walked in with Annabeth and Percy following suit. Close behind them a woman came in, with striking grey eyes and blond hair, she closely resembled Annabeth.
Athora, the girl with black hair, closely watched this woman, staring intently. The woman searched the room, her eyes wandering over the prisoners before her.
Chiron watched her with curious eyes, waiting.
Minutes seemed to pass.
"They are neither monsters, nor of this world. You were right Chiron, something very strange is going on here," the woman paused waiting for a response.
Chiron seemed to be frozen with shock. Annabeth spoke instead. "What do you mean, not of this world, mother?"
The woman, Annabeth's mother, just stood there, thinking.
Athora spoke, "Well, I would love to know what strange thing is going on. Maybe you can tell us."
Chiron spoke for the first time, "We were hoping you could tell us, just that!" He retorted.
Athora opened her mouth to say something else but was stopped by Bianca , the girl in bandages. "If we knew that, then we wouldn't be here!" she screamed.
She continued screaming and thrashing until Athora had enough of it.
"Haku can you please, shut her up! She's going to hurt herself, or someone else," Athora said to the boy.
Haku stood up and began to walk across the room to where Bianca lay in bed, Screaming.
"Don't touch me Haku! I swear if you Dare touch me I'll kill you," Bianca screamed.
The woman, curious, stood back to let him pass. Haku took off one of his gloves as he continued to walk.
Bianca continued to scream profanities at him, gradually growing louder as he drew closer.
Despite the threats, Haku took his bare hand and lightly touched her forehead. Immediately she went quiet, her eyes began to droop, and she drifted off to sleep.
Haku walked back to his seat beside the girl with the blindfold.
This whole procession only lasted seconds, just long enough for Percy to draw his sword and point it at the prisoners. Athora, taking no notice of the sword now pointed in her face, began to speak again. "Now that, that's over, why don't we all talk and see if we can't figure all of this out. Shall we Athena?" An evil grin stretched across her face.
