A/N:
Howdy y'all! Sorry for the wait! Here is Chapter 52! Enjoy!
An hour later...
Percy's POV:
We were having a little fun (as much fun as one can have being locked up in cages all day) by talking to one another. We weren't talking about anything important, just chatting about nothing as if we were old friends reuniting for the first time in years. That's when two erasers barged into the room and approached my cage. "Alright Omega-3. They need you in Lab A-1", they growled, unlocking my cage and dragging me out the door. The last thing I heard was Annabeth shouting "PERCY! YOU HURT HIM AND I WILL PERSONALLY WRING YOUR NECK!" I almost couldn't hear the ending because the door banged closed behind us, drowning out my Wise Girl's voice. Gods, I wanted to hurt these guys so much.
Annabeth's POV:
They came and took Percy to Lab A-1. I had shouted "PERCY! IF YOU HURT HIM, I WILL PERSONALLY WRING YOUR NECK!" The banging of the door as it closed behind them drowned out my voice, as well as Percy's screams. I had no idea what they were doing to him. I sat there in my cage crying for what seemed like an eternity, but it was really only twenty minutes before two more erasers came barging in here: and they were coming towards me!
"Alright Subject Alpha-1. They need you in Lab A-2." Then two sets of rough, furry hands dragged a blubbering, balling, little ol' me out of my cage and out the door. I was crying the whole time because my Seaweed Brain had been taken to Lab A-1 and they're doing Gods know what to him, and because I'm not ready for the pain that is going to come. Is this part of what the prophecy was saying will happen? "Pain and suffering will show in many faces?"
Angel's POV:
I was going to say some comforting words to Annabeth through her mind, so I entered her mind. That's when I heard some interesting thoughts of hers, which also included: "Is this part of what the prophecy was saying will happen?" "What prophecy?" I thought to myself. "Pain and suffering in many faces?" I pulled out of Annabeth's head and gasped in my head as I entered Max's mind. This is huge I thought to myself. Max thought to me when I gasped as I entered her mind.
"Angel, have you been reading my mind again?" She asked me.
"No Max."
"Then why did you gasp in my mind?"
"Because I was in Annabeth's mind."
"Angel, how many times do I have to tell you not to enter innocent people's minds?"
"Max, I entered because I was going to comfort her. I wasn't intending on listening to her thoughts, but I did by accident, and what I heard surprised me.
"And that would be...?"
"Another piece to the puzzle Max. I think it is important."
"And what is it Angel?"
"She was thinking about a prophecy that said "Pain and suffering in many faces", though I don't think that is all of it."
"Wow. This is huge Angel. Let's not tell the others until all six of them: Percy, Annabeth, Thalia, Jason, Piper, and Rachel have been taken back. I don't know if we should tell them that we know about a prophecy yet."
"Ok Max."
"That was important information Angel. Good job for recognizing that and then telling me."
"Thanks Max." I said as I backed out of Max's mind. I was just thinking to myself wondering what the rest of the prophecy was, as I'm sure Max was doing the same. Oh, wait, she is, as I briefly entered her mind again just to see if she was, and she definitely was.
A/N: Sorry for the long wait y'all! School got in the way and halfway through typing this chapter, I ran into a wall of writer's block. But here it is! With a bit of a cliffhanger!
