Percy's POV

The men took out six blind folds and blindfolded us. We couldn't see a thing, well duh but it was not very comforting. They pulled our arms and dragged us down a hall. Each time we made a step, the wood on the floor creaked. It felt like we were going to fall through the floor. There was a dank smell drifting through the air. We could tell that the building was very old. Finally they stopped us.

"We're here," one of the men said.

Suddenly I felt something slam against my head. I groaned from the pain and then in almost an instant, I passed out.

(Two Hours Later)

I started to gain consciousness again. I opened my eyes and saw that I was in a room that was lighted only through the windows. It smelled awful…as if we were close to the Hudson River. Wait could this mean we were close to a river? I had to get out of here. I started to move but then something pulled me back. Ropes. Great. And then I remembered what happened. Why did these men want us? I struggled in the ropes hoping that I would be able to get free.

"It won't work…I tried," I turned to see that it was Harry speaking. He was in another pole next to me with Hermione and Ron. I turned to both my sides. Annabeth and Grover were on the same pole as I was.

"There's got to be something we can do!"

Harry shook his head, "They took Annabeth's dagger, our wands, and Grover's magical instruments and placed it in that chest over there. They locked it too!" He pointed to a bin on the other side of the room. Then he paused, "Did you not bring anything?" I froze. The thought hadn't occurred to me that Riptide was still in my pocket. I tried to move my finger through the ropes to reach my pocket. Suddenly I heard footsteps and Harry and I pretended we were unconscious. The door opened and a figure in a black cloak walked in.

"Good job boys. Here's a sand dollar. Keep this up and you'll be in riches beyond your wildest dreams."

One of the men greedily plucked out of the anonymous man's hand and then the other two tried to take it from him. Then he turned to us.

"WAKE UP!" he shouted.

All at once, Ron, Hermione, Annabeth, and Grover woke up. Harry and I were already awake.

"Good. Some of you already know who I am." He pulled off the hood of his cloak and Annabeth gasped.

"Luke?" she questioned.

I started to feel anger well up inside my body. Why did he want us? Hadn't I already dealt with him enough?

"No. I am Kronos, Lord of Time. I am working with Lord Voldemort right now so that we together can steal your powers. With your powers, we can the strongest immortals ever." He paused and then continued, "With these powers that I can take from you six, I can gain my true form faster than I thought and then all of you will be doomed."

Suddenly, I saw a slight movement in the shadows. It was a person. He started to move towards. He had a finger missing and was holding a…baby? I turned to Harry. His eyes were fixed on the same figure and they were filled with panic. I could safely assume that they had a history together.
