As soon as I put my hands up, the man holding Annabeth screamed and pulled his hand away from her mouth. It was red and had teeth marks on it.

"Percy!" she exclaimed. "Don't-" she suddenly cried out in pain and gripped her thigh as she collapsed. He had shot her leg! I started towards her, but the leader trained the gun back on Annabeth's head. I froze.

"Percy!" Annabeth exclaimed. "Don't listen to him! He-"

"Shut up or I'll kill him instead," the man told her and she immediately stopped talking.

"Now," he said. "We're going to take you two out to the car. Don't talk to anyone, just act casual. If either of you open your mouth or try to escape, the other will be immediately killed. Understand?" I nodded. "Good. Ernie, Steve, and Pete, you guys keep an eye on the son of Poseidon. I'll keep an eye on our beloved Annabeth." Annabeth looked disgusted, but she kept her mouth shut.

"What about her leg?" I asked angrily. "How is she supposed to walk when you've just shot her?" The man smiled and I had the strong urge to punch him.

"Worried about your little girlfriend, eh? Trust me, pretty soon you won't care about her one bit."

"That will never happen!" I shouted and the man just chuckled.

"That's what you think." I looked at Annabeth and saw tears running down her face. I hated seeing her like this, especially when I couldn't comfort her.

"Look," I said. "You can do whatever you want to me, just let Annabeth go." The man gave and evil laugh and sat next to Annabeth, putting his arm around her.

"You don't know who I am, do you?" the man asked. I shook my head.

"Ah, well, I guess it's time for introductions. The name's Tyler. Tyler Castellan." I stared at him in confusion.

"You two are the ones that killed my brother. But that's all right, we were never very close."

"Your Luke's brother? Luke never mentioned you." Tyler looked angry.

"Of course he never mentioned me. He left me to die after we found this one here," he pointed to Annabeth, who was holding her thigh. The blood was spreading down her jeans.

"She needs medical help!" I told him and Tyler chuckled.

"Oh really? Well who needs medical attention now?" He aimed at my face and I closed my eyes tight. I heard the sound of a gunshot and Annabeth screamed. I opened my eyes, surprised to see that I wasn't harmed. Tyler laughed evilly.

"Next time I won't move my aim."

"You're a jerk!" Annabeth yelled at him and slipped out of his arm.

"Jerk? Is that the best you can come up with, Annabeth?" Tyler laughed.

"What do you want with us?" I asked, trying to divert his attention from Annabeth to me.

"Why don't you ask your little girlfriend? She knows." I looked down at Annabeth, who was crying again.

"Why don't you tell him, Annabeth?" Tyler asked evilly and she didn't respond. "Go on, tell him what you've done." When she didn't say anything, he whispered something into her ear. She started sobbing louder and nodded.

"Good," he said with a smile. "Now Ernie, you know what to do." One of the body builders grinned and pulled out a knife. He stepped up next to me and put it to my neck.

"Just a slight movement on Ernie's part and you'll be dead right away." Tyler told me, then turned back to Annabeth. "Well? What are we waiting for? Get on with it!"

"Percy-" she said and choked up. Tyler turned to Ernie and gave a hand signal. I felt the knife dig slightly into my skin and a trickle of blood slid down my neck.

"Stop!" Annabeth shouted. "I'll tell him! Just please don't hurt him!" She took a moment to pull herself together and wipe the tears away.

"Tick, tock," Tyler said, glancing at his watch. "We don't have all day, missy. Tell him or say goodbye to your boyfriend!" I was starting to wish that I hadn't asked about it in the first place, but I was also curious about what would make Annabeth so upset.

"Percy," she said. "I'm-" she mumbled something that I couldn't make out..

"Say it!" The knife dug in a little deeper.

"I'm pregnant!" she shouted and started sobbing again. My head was spinning. How could Annabeth be pregnant? I finally found my voice.

"What?" I asked and she sobbed more.

"But we never even..." Then I realized something: if Annabeth was pregnant, it couldn't be my baby. We had both agreed to wait for marriage. That could only mean one thing: she had had an affair. "How? Who? When? Tell me!" She didn't answer.

I remembered overhearing Annabeth's conversation with Thalia earlier and how she was hiding something behind her back when I came in. Then later when she'd said that I'd hate her if she told me the truth.

"Why? Why would you do this to me?" I asked her desperately. I realized that Ernie had moved the knife away from my neck, but he still had it in his hand just in case. I sank to the floor and put my head in my hands.

"How could you Annabeth?" I asked and felt tears rolling down my cheeks.

"You don't underst-"

"You're right. I don't understand. I really loved you, Annabeth. And you want to know something?" I looked into her eyes. "I was actually planning on proposing to you, did you know that? I've been saving up for the ring for months. My mom even found the perfect house for us and she's working overtime so she can pay the owner to keep it on hold for us.

"How long have you been cheating on me, huh? What about two years ago when you said you loved me? Was there someone else then too?"

I covered my eyes with my hands and started to sob. How could she?

"Well," Tyler broke into my thoughts. "Now that this little love fest is over, Percy-"

"Why don't you just kill me now?" I exclaimed. "My life is ruined!" I glanced at Annabeth, who was sobbing into her hands.

"As good of an idea as that is," Tyler said. "I still need you for something."

"What do you want?"

"We've had a change of plans. I want you to bring me your friends, Grover and Thalia."

"Why should I?" Tyler grinned.

"Because, if you don't, I'll shoot your pretty little girlfriend." He aimed the gun back on Annabeth's head. As angry I was at Annabeth at the moment, I couldn't let Tyler kill her. I would hate myself if I ever did that.

"And what do you want with them?"

"I won't hurt them, I just want to have a few words with them."

"You swear?"

"Percy-" Annabeth spoke quietly.

"Hey!" Tyler said. "No speaking! You've already broken the boy's heart, don't make matters worse. Yes, Percy, I swear on the river Stix that I will not harm Thalia or Grover."

"What about Annabeth?"

"Meet me back here in no more that four hours with Grover and Thalia or I'll kill her. That's the only guarantee I'm giving. And don't go crying for help because if you walk through that door with anyone besides who I asked for, I'm pulling this trigger." I nodded my head and took one last look at the one person who I loved, the woman who betrayed me, before walking out the door.


Annabeth's POV

"You're sick, you know that?" I told Tyler once Percy left. He chuckled.

"How so?"

"How about the other night? You kidnap me from my own home and do- terrible things that have haunted me for days. Now-"

"Sweetheart, you-"

"Don't call me sweetheart!" He chuckled again.

"You're fiesty. That's one of the reasons I like you so much. Now, as I was saying, you are the one who chose to have me do, as you put it, 'terrible things' to you."

"Well, you didn't give me much of a choice! If I didn't, you would have killed Percy! Anyways, now I'm pregnant and Percy's life is ruined thanks to you. He thinks I betrayed him and you said you'd kill him if I told him the truth!" I wanted to sob again, but I didn't want to give Tyler the satisfaction.

"Darling, even if I do decide to let him live, his life will be miserable." He slid his arm around my waist and I pushed it away.

"Why are you doing this?" I asked, close to tears.

"Annabeth, I'm surprised someone as smart as yourself hasn't already figured it out. With someone as sweet and good hearted as you carrying my child, I know you won't be able to kill him. You're too kind for that. Your stupid friends will be servants to Kronos. As for your boyfriend, I'm thinking about letting him live. Kronos does need a new body after all." I felt my eyes widen.

"You wouldn't." He smirked.

"Of course I would. You're little demigod friends would be no match against him; they could never kill one of their own. We'll wipe out everyone at that little camp of yours and eventually destroy Olympus. Kronos will rule and all the gods will be sent to Tartarus.

"And as for you and me, babe," he put his arm around my waist again. I tried to move it but this time he just gripped tighter and I gave up. "You're going to be my wife. Kronos will make us both immortal and when he gets tired of being in you're boyfriend's puny body, you'll be the one to kill Percy."


So now you all know what happened to Annabeth. Don't you just hate Tyler? It sickened me just writing about him. Anyways, I hope you're enjoying the story! Review! Please and thanks! :) The more reviews I get, the quicker I'll update!
