Hey guys, Ive completed the first 5 chapters. I will be posting one chapter every day. Turns out they are pretty short chapters. Sorry about that. Enjoy chapter 2!


Annabeth's POV

"Luke! Where are you! Why did you bring me here?" I screamed into the darkness. Luke had knocked me out when we got here, because I was screaming bloody murder. I looked at my surroundings. I was chained to the wall. I yanked against the chains, trying to escape. "You won't be able to get out." Someone is the darkness said.

Luke stepped out of the shadows, grinning like a madman, with Backbiter in hand. "Those are celestial bronze chains." He said smirking. Luke started coming toward me. "Stay back!" I hissed. "What are you going to do about it Annabeth?" Luke asked, smugly. He kneeled down in front of my face. "I think I will start your torment by…this." Luke said. He took Backbiter and cut into my lips. I screamed in agony, and tried to get away. Luke chuckled, and cut a gash into my arm. I drew away, and screamed. "You'll be dead before Jackson can even get close to the ship." Luke smirked. I shrunk up against the wall, and waited for the pain that was sure to follow.

Percy's POV

I dropped the note, and collapsed onto the chair. Luke was dead! How could he have taken her! Then it hit me. Somehow he escaped the Underworld. Annabeth was being tortured because of me. I put my face in my hands, and cried. "Knock it off Percy! You need to go now!" I muttered to myself. I stood up shakily, and managed to get to the cabin door. When I opened it, Malcolm, Annabeth's half-brother, was standing there. "Percy! What are you doing in our cabin?" Malcolm asked curiously. "Annabeth…Luke kidnapped her…have to go find her." I muttered as I raced out the door.

I didn't even tell Chiron. The note specifically said that I had to arrive alone, or else. I uncapped Riptide, and ran up to the top of Half Blood Hill.

Malcolm POV

My mouth dropped open in shock. Annabeth was kidnapped, and Luke was responsible. I wanted to follow Percy, but I knew if he was leaving by himself, he didn't want company. I pushed open the door, and raced inside. On the floor was a note.

Dear Jackson,

If you ever want to see your girlfriend again, come to the Princess Andromeda, at midnight tomorrow. Fail to do so, or bring anyone else with you, you won't find her alive.

From you're "former" friend,

Luke

That's why he didn't want anyone coming. I thought. Luke ordered him not to have anyone accompany him. Poor Annabeth. Just because she was dating Jackson, she had to be taken for ransom. I ripped up the note, and threw it in the trash can. I sat down on my bed, and stared at the wall. I don't know how I fell asleep, but I had a dream. Athena stood before me. I bowed, and said "Lady Athena". Athena smiled, and motioned for me to rise. "The reason I am here is because of Annabeth. I know you want to help, but Percy, regrettably, is the only one who can save her." Athena said, bitterly. I knew she hated Percy, I just didn't think it was that much. "Malcolm, you must keep this to yourself. I fear if the camp found out, Annabeth would be killed." She continued. "I understand, mother." I said. "I must go now. Good luck, my son." Athena said, as she disappeared.
