Ana's POV
I rub my head as I come to my senses. The room was dizzy and circling around. I got up and looked around. I could tell that it wasn't the Big House. I'd never been here before in my life! There were no windows and a locked door, a bed and a table, and a bathroom.
"Hello?" I ask the emptiness of the room. I jump as an alarm sounds and a deep rumble is heard as the room shifts. What once was a wall is actually a door. It slid out of the way and a passageway was behind it. "Wicked…" I whisper to myself.
I step into the hall and the door slides to a close. I kept walking and I came upon another door. I opened it and found Melinoe, Bridgette, and the rest of my friends.
Melinoe looked angry and was holding Bridgette securely by the arm. Bridgette looked quite frightened.
I then looked at my friends who all stayed back. So I did the same.
"Good to see you're finally here, Ana…" Melinoe says. I smirk.
"What's going on...?" Elida asks.
"That's a good question…Ana and Tony will recognize this little book…" She pulls out Bridgette's journal.
"She caught me with it…" Bridgette says quietly.
"SHUT UP!" Melinoe yells. Bridgette's body constricts.
"NOW! Maybe the rest of you are all wondering what you're doing here…"
Melinoe chucks the journal onto a chair.
"Bridgette here still thinks you can save her…so to prove that, I've set up a challenge or more of a game…" She smiles deviously. "You shall have a partner and you will journey with him or her to the middle of the labyrinth that I've created. The first pair to get to the middle will fight a beast. The one that kills it truly will go on. They'll get the prize…" Melinoe gestures to Bridgette.
Bridgette looks shocked.
"Wait. What…?" She asks but Melinoe just rolls her eyes and snaps her fingers. Bridgette begins to immaterialize into thin air.
"Where did you send her?" Manny asks.
"To her high tower…" Melinoe grins.
"You're a sick woman…" Percy comments.
"You should have already known that! I believe I was the one that impersonated Mrs. Grace!" Percy's face turns pale.
"So…Shall I choose partners or shall you? I think I shall…" Melinoe's smile turns into a grin.
"Lauren and Percy. Davido and Maria. Manny and Tony. Ana and Elida–" She starts off.
"NOOO!" I scream.
"Why?" Elida whines. Melinoe just smirks more.
"Sam and um…Nico…, and Chris and Annabeth." She finished. Annabeth turned to Chris and growled.
"So good luck to you all…remember…I'll be checking up on you…" her smile begins to fade as with the rest of her body. Soon she was gone and we were left alone.
I sulked over to Elida. She didn't seem so excited either.
"At least we're not the only ones unhappy. Sam looks pissed that Maria's with Davido, Annabeth looks like she wants to be shot for being with Chris, Percy's longing for Annabeth while Lauren's about to feint for being this close to Percy…" Elida lists. I almost laugh my head off as I watch Lauryn. A buzzer brings everyone to silence. A huge table rises from the floor and a million weapons are on it.
"Choose a weapon." Melinoe's voice says over an intercom. Elida dashes for a bow and like five quivers (there was a quiver for everyone is case everyone wanted a bow and there were extras) and I grabbed a two swords and four daggers. Once the weapons were demolished of the table, a backpack for everyone appeared on our backs. Inside were food and water.
"Wow…this reminds me of the hunger games…" Nico says.
"A lot of things remind you of things…I believe it was you that said déjà vu…except it was Percy who was point the sword at me!" Sam says, annoyed by Nico's presence.
"Oh that's okay, Sam…we all know you're pissed off for not being paired with Maria…" I say sweetly, but I smirk. Sam groans.
We step into a tunnel and there are different passageways. When a pair walked in, a door shut them in.
"It determines where you start…" Maria guesses.
"Indeed." Melinoe's voice rings out again.
"Let's go into Hell, Elida…Although I'm in it right now being with you…" I say.
"At least I have a magical attacking hedgehog! Steerpike! Attack!" The hedgehog flings out of her pocket and latches onto my face. Elida's face is filled with glee. "It worked! It actually worked!" I flick the little rodent off my face.
"I hate you…" I say coldly, eyes filled with disgust. Elida giggles, picks up Steerpike.
"Oh, memories…" was Elida's only comment.
We see a light so we head toward it. We are in a cave and there is a big staircase leading to our entrance to the labyrinth. We gasped at the huge tower in the center that seemed miles away.
"Well, let's go…"
PLEASE REVIEW! I WOULD FREAK OUT IF I GOT OVER 10 REVIEWS! SO PLEASE!
