Wow, didn't think people would like the first chapter very well. I debated on finishing this or not, but guess what? Here's the final chapter!


The General's minions dragged me into a room with a little chair. They sat me in the chair, a little too rough, I might add. Once they sat me in the chair, they pressed a button on a little control pad and steel cuffs appeared around my wrists and ankles, preventing me from trying to get away. They then left the room, closing the door behind them. Now I had time to think.

How could I let myself get captured like this? I thought. I'm smarter than that.

After about 25 minutes, the General and Luke came into the room with a couple guards. The General opened up a safe full of torturing tools. He brought out a taser, a whip, and a knife. I had a feeling I wouldn't have a pleasant time.

"Make this easy kid, and I won't have to hurt you." The General calmly told me. He then started asking me questions.

"Where are your little friends?"

I didn't answer.

"Where are your friends?" He asked again. He was getting a little bit angry now.

Once again, I didn't answer.

He picked up the taser and started shooting me. I screamed at the top of my lungs. Once he stopped, I could barely breathe.

"I'll ask this one more time, kid." The General told me, his voice growing louder.

"Where are your friends?"

"They're up your ass!" I screamed. The General picked up the knife and started to cut down my arm. Before he could touch my skin with the knife, Thalia and Zoè kicked the door open and immediately took down the two guards. Thalia went straight for Luke, and Zoè

hit the General with a tranquilizer arrow. He went down pretty fast. Zoè pressed a button on the control panel, and the cuffs on my wrists and ankles disappeared.

"Percy, here!" Thalia shouted. She tossed my sword to me, and I snatched it up.

"Do not follow us, Luke." She growled.

"Let's go, guys, we need to get to San Francisco." And we ran out the door after her.
