Chapter 25/The Golden Room

Annabeth POV

Everything after the the car stopped was a blur, actually it was more like a missing gap of useful information. The last thing I remember was the car coming to a stop and now I'm- I don't know where I am actually.

My eyes were covered with some thick material, keeping me from seeing my surrounds; whatever they were.

"Release the girl's blindfold." I heard Kronos's loud, powerful voice echo through the room, it was apparently a large room if sounds echoed off the walls.

Suddenly a bright shielding light peaked through my blindfold and making me blind for a couple seconds. I squinted my eyes until they got used to the blinding light- where he hell was I?

My eyes adjusted to the light pretty quickly and I stared at my surrounds in awe. Gold, gold everywhere.

From the cavern walls, to the bumpy floor, it was as if we were inside a golden nugget. It was so large and long I couldn't find an exit, or where they brought me in from.

"She's alive." Kronos mockingly stated. He walked in circles around where I now stood chuckling in the process.

I stood quietly, my eyes desperately searching for Percy. But I couldn't see him anywhere. My heart raced in panic, where was he- where could they have taken him?

"Where's Percy?" My growled in anger. I was tired of this, tired of this stupid game.

"The son of Poseidon is no longer of your concern." Kronos smoothly said. I gulped. "Where is he?!" I snarled.

"Might I remind you , your my prisoner, I'm not yours." His jaw set, I could tell he was losing his temper easily. "Then what do you want?"

"Why go to all this trouble for two Demi-gods?" I continued to ask him. Maybe if I set him off he'll get distracted and I can make my escape.

"Simple, revenge." He continued to walk circles around me, I think he could see it was annoying the crap out of me, so he didn't stop. But it didn't matter though, I turned and faced him at every turn. There was no way I was going to let him get into my head.

"Revenge?" I questioned.

"isn't it ironic?" He asked. I waited for him to finish. "How I avenge myself by forcing the God of Revenge, then taking her captive?" He sounded amused by himself.

I glared at him. "You kidnapped Nemesis?" Kronos gave me a devious smile. Sure, it was ironic, but twisted, and cruel.

"You have us now, whats your plan?"

He stopped walking and turned fully to face me. I froze, not expecting him to stop so abruptly. He he took a step in my direction and played with the emotions on his face to keep me guessing.

For the first time in my life, I couldn't read someone's face. "How about, instead of telling... I show you." The horrible sinister smile on his face pierced the core of my heart, making the airways in my body clog for a moment.

...

Third Person POV:

Percy where are you man? Grover thought hard to get anything from the link he and Percy shared, but it was useless. There was never a response.

Grover knew he wasn't dead, but he knew he was close to it, because he could feel it. He felt awful, dizzy sometimes, and felt like he ate twenty rusty coca cola cans.

Today was not his day.

Nico stood on the other side of the car, leaning against the side of the black SUV. Grover could tell he was in deep thought, trying to figure out their next move.

Annabeth and Thalia were no where to be found, and neither of them had found Percy.

This was bad. This was very bad.

Gover placed his head in his hands and tried to think. They were no where on the ship, not in, or next to the cars... Where the hell could they be? He though in an angry matter.

I can't believe I came all this way to lose even more people! Gods I'm such a failure!

"G-grov-?" ...what was that?

"Percy?" He though louder, if that was possible. "W-where are you man? Can you get your exact location?

"Y-yeah, I can but-"

"Are you okay man? Are you hurt? what's happening?!" Grover asked in a fast paced tone.

"Grover- you need to cut the link!" Percy shouted at him. Grover's heart sank. "wh-what, why?"

"Just do it! Please..." Percy pleaded. "After you tell me your location."

"Lat:43 Lon:80 Alt:67, now do it."

"Later, I promise. We're on our way." Grover ran on the other side of the car were Nico was thinking up a storm.

"I know where they are, I talked to Percy using the link, does your GPS take longitude, latitude, and altitude?"

Nico smiled at the sytar. "Let's find out." and both boys hopped in the SUV.

Annabeth POV

Kronos demanded at his two guards something, and next thing I know they make a grab for each of my arms. I tried to fight, but they out-massed me. And it was no used if my dagger wasn't in my possession.

They walked me further into the golden cavern-room thing for about a good two minutes. You'd think that's a short time, but when your worrying and desperately on edge, minutes seem like hours.

Finally far off in the distance I caught a sign of a figure on the floor, then more beefy guards, and there was one weird looking dude happily smiling ahead at us.

"Step aside, everyone!" Kronos demanded.

Everyone did as told and and stopped away from Percy, who was stirring on the ground. I tried to drop to the floor and help him but the guards kept me restricted and I couldn't escape their hard grips.

"Percy-!" I shouted in horror. I could tell he was losing a lot of blood from the fairly large puddle of it around is arms, he looked pale and bruised, and defiantly worn out.

"There is only one way, and one way only to heal him." Kronos spoke. I didn't realize it at the moment but now that I have the time to acknowledge it, I was crying. My face was wet with desperate tears.

"See the white lining around his pupils? The poison is setting in his brain, it'll all be over soon."

My stomach turned over making a nasty feels un up my spine, but stayed silent. There weren't words for how I felt.

"I could heal him though, I could save his him Daughter of Athena..." Kronos bent down to Percy's level and shook him. "Wake up boy." Percy's eyes flew open, he slowly gasped for air, and then shut his eyes tightly in pain.

I struggled against the monsters in pain myself after seeing his reaction, I wanted to get on my knee's and help him more than anything in the world.

Kronos chuckled. "You want to see what my plan is eh Ms. Case? ...Well, I'll show you."

He forcefully grabbed Percy's arm, closed his eyes, and muttered something. My frown grew larger. What in the world was he doing?

Percy just laid there, I think he didn't have the energy to do much anymore, his pale face and and drained features said too much. He looked up at me and mouthed he was sorry...

But for what? Maybe he knew what Kronos was gonna do? Or maybe he as just sorry he couldn't get us out... that he was too late.

Tears stained my cheeks, I hated crying, but it felt like it was the only thing I've done for days... I felt like such a weakling. I felt like a stupid, in love, helpless, desperate girl. So I continued to struggle against them and fight, it in the end it was use they were too strong.

Then Kronos unexpectedly fell against the floor, and my eyes grew large. Wha-? My eyes locked on to Percy's white rimed sea green-blue ones. But they were beginning to close. He was getting tired.

"Percy don't!" I cried, referring to him falling asleep.

But he wasn't focused on me anymore. He was just there, in a kind of dazed faze untill they finally closed.

I stayed silent. I didn't understand what was happening. What in the world was his plan? To fall unconscious with my boyfriend?

No, there was mor-Oh gods...

I looked down at Percy, he was beginning to move once again. His color returned to him quickly and his features were full once more.

I held a slight smile, mixed with that confused frown on my face.

The guards unexpectedly let go of my arms and I ran down to him. "Percy, Percy can you hear me?" I cried.

He nodded, but remained silent, even his eyes were closed.

There was moment, a small significant moment in which I believed we'd be okay in the end, that we'll get through this and survive this.

But that moment, that small significant moment was short lived though. When he opened his eyes. I let go of his clammy hand and my eyes grew large.

Shock ran through me, making me tremble in the process. I backed away from him, too choked up on words to say anything.

I stared back into his eyes.

And two pairs molten gold pricing eyes stared back at me, with an evil smiling smirk to match.

"Kronos-?" I choke out.
