Chapter 2
Annabeth's POV
I wake up and jump out of bed. I have to find her I can't sleep, there can't be breaks. We have to run and search until we bleed and keep going we have to save my baby.
"Honey?"
Great! I woke Percy I didn't have my breath back yet from the panic so I didn't answer. I didn't even want to answer I just wanted to find my little girl and hold her in my arms once again.
"Annabeth? Are you ok? Was it another dream?"
Worry is clear in his voice as he gets out of bed to come over to me in the darkest corner in the hotel. He picks me up and cradles me against himself for comfort. I burrow my head in his chest and tears pour from my eyes.
"I-I-I have t-to find her," I just cry into his chest causing it to become wet.
"Shh its okay Annabeth, we'll find her I promise."
"I know, but we lost her when she was 8 and that was 4 years ago. How can you take a break? How can you just sleep? Do you even still have hope?"
"I know, she's a strong girl though, if we don't find her she'll find us. I know that if we have energy we'll be able to look harder and longer, and you know I still have hope I would never give up on my little girl, come on."
I pick up my head to look at Percy with a sweet smile on his face which is casted with shadows since there's no light on, I then move my eyes up to his sea green ones that have become so familiar to me. I saw the scared, hurt, worried, and crazed look that he doesn't ever try to hide.
"Okay, okay," I get out of Percy's grip and walk over to the bed, I curl into a ball under the covers, "I believe you, we'll start again at first light."
"Mmmhm.."
Lucky him he can just sleep so easily where as I'm dyeing to fall asleep. Percy senses my troubles and wraps his arm around me to calm me. I then just relax and fall into a deep slumber.
Bridget's POV
I hear footsteps coming towards the cage. I back up so that I'm covered in shadows.
"Hey, freak get out here! Its time for another test."
Another. Test. No, no, no not again, I almost died last time from the running. I press myself so hard against the cage that its cutting into me.
"If you don't come out here were going in and it wont be pretty. Come on!"
They wouldn't get me there too big to fit through the door, unless they lost weight. Seriously I doubt that, you got to see what these people eat, they wont ever be able to lose weight. There's a loud bang and the cage door is open, I see a man hand reach in the cage.
"Where are you?" He snarls, moving his hand around the cage, "Come on out it will only hurt…a lot."
He starts laughing at his own joke, then stops and try's to come in the cage further.
"AGGG! Luke come here, now."
A little guy, with no muscle just skin and bone. Walks up to the man and the man tells him something and then steps out the cage. The little guy climbs into the cage and grabs me by the hair, I let out a gasp of pain as he's dragging me by my hair!
"I'm sorry, really. I didn't sign up for this, but they will kill me if I don't do as they say," he whispers into my ear.
"I would rather die then torture someone else," I make my voice have anger in it.
A flash of pain crosses his face, then hides it as we step out the cage. The one I splashed water on smiled and grabbed my arm hard. We walk for a long time, we finally got to the room and I saw a chair with straps and needles on the table next to it. This is going to be worse then last time. I start squirming and kicking my legs out. They finally have me strapped, but I'm still fighting. I hear voices all around me.
"No I want her to be awake for this."
"I'm sorry but she is moving too much."
I hear a man sigh and that's all I remember before being knocked out.
