Um so one reviewer, GirlWithLighting, pointed out that my profile only had my story on it. So after asking some questions, I finally figured out how Profile works. Thanks Izzy. So you can go check that out if you want.
Without further ado, your chapter.

I struggled against the arms holding me tight but I couldn't get loose. Well now's the perfect time to think about how this could have gone wrong. Great timing brain.
I was getting no where with the struggling so I tried a new strategy. I stopped walking and relaxed all of my muscles so that they would have to carry a very heavy rag doll. They ended up dragging me through the halls. I have to say that I got a few floor burns but it was worth it because they soon got tired, dragging me around. I was just about to twist out of their grab when I saw the doors.
"Wait- we're going in there? Through those doors? Those ones, right there. We're going in there!"
They said nothing, but kept going forward.
When I was escaping with my friends we went past those doors. They were much larger than the rest of the doors in the building. It was tinged dark red, the color of blood. There was a large lock holding them in place. But that didn't stop the banging coming from the other side. And the screaming, I heard it the first time we went past them and I hear it now. The doors were constantly trying to be broken through and had tons of dents from the fist that had punched them. It's amazing actually... seeing as it was made of steel. The workers must be desperate to get out. Which is why I'm not going in there.
I was so shocked that I momentarily forgot my plan and was walking with my guards.
I am not going it there.
Without warning I dropped onto the floor and twisted out of their hands and ran. Soon enough an alarm started, but I kept running. I didn't know where I was going but I only had one goal, to get away from those doors.
I was so frantic that I didn't realize that I reached a dead end. I doubled back only to be stopped by several monster guards. As they advanced, I retreated, this went on till my back was against the wall and the guards with within my reach. The situation kind of reminded me of the game Red Rover. To win you had to break through the chain of people. That was what I intended to do to these guards.
It was just a friendly game of Red Rover I told myself.
I ran and expected to slip through and get away.
Unfortunately for me, that did not happen. Probably should have played the game more during childhood.
I didn't break through, I didn't win, and I won't be getting out.
Six guards surrounded me, and grabbed me, leading me to the doors. I've got no plan, no strength, and no weapon.
Wait, did I have a weapon? I don't recall them ever taking riptide away. And it... returns to me. I subtly touched my pant pocket and felt the pen.
...I am an idiot. I tugged my wrist from one of the guards and took out riptide and quickly uncapped it. Stabbing one of the guards in the process. But the others quickly recovered from their dead friend and attacked, punching and kicking at whatever they could. One of them succeeded in taking my sword while I was punching one other guard.
Everything went down hill from there. The guards got hold of me and the one with my sword gave it to a hallway guard telling him to put it in one of the "magic jars." I think they had that in New Rome too. That's probably how my armless friend Terminus kept it secure.
But you have to admit, it was kinda stupid for Polybotes to not do that in the first place.
I quietly walked with them into the doors of doom... I think it's the doors of death's sibling.
We got at the entrance and almost immediately, two telkines came down the hall holding a giant key. Once they got there, one of them pressed a button on the side. From the other side there was an awful sound that was responded with lots of wailing workers.
Probably to prevent them from coming out. They key went in the lock and soon the door opened.
Of course they didn't do it all the way. There was a small space, big enough for one person to slip through. And that one person, was me.
The guards pushed me through the door, then retreated and slammed it shut. For a second I just stood there, looking around. It was like Mount St. Helen's all over again. But this time there were all sorts of workers. Cyclops, telkines, all types of horses, unicorns, fire-breathing ones, and pegasi. I think there were some halfbloods too.
Soon enough, another guard found me and pushed me towards the demigod section. They cuffed my feet and left me. What was I suppose to do? Eventually another demigod saw me, he gave me a sympathetic look and said that I would be here for a long time.
"What am I supposed to do?"
"We make swords, simple celestial bronze swords. Using lava, you have to find your lava-resistance gloves." He said.
"I don't know how to make those" I protested
"None of us did, we all had to learn on our own" He responded
"How long have you been here?" I asked
"Too long" He replied sadly, "What's your name?"
"Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon" I answered, "Yours?"
He gave me a small smile, "Nico, Nico Di Angelo, son of Hades"
I was gonna end this differently after the convo, but I got to names and I was like, who should I name this? And I was like OMGS I have the perfect idea! Plus I haven't done a cliffie in a while. I knew I was gonna add him in somehow, and I did. And I'm pretty sure I didn't mention him anwhere in the story, if I did please tell welcome Lunakunaalna
Please review and leave suggestions. Once again, very sorry about the long wait
