A/N:

Sorry y'all! I've been extremely busy with school and getting a job to even log onto this site. However, since it is Christmas Break, I can promise you at least this chapter and maybe one more before school picks up again, and likely work as well. Plus, I had some technical difficulties (again!) as I was originally trying to type this chapter, and I had lost my work half way through while I actually had a little bit of time a few weeks ago. Anyways, to prevent y'all from waiting anymore (and to save you from reading anymore of my ramblings in the form of an A/N), I'll just cut to the story. So, now, finally, without further adieu, here is the 53rd installment to this epic adventure!

Enjoy!

Piper's POV:

About twenty minutes after they took a screaming Annabeth, that same giant wolf thing came back with his two buddies, walking proudly with their heads' held high and their chests' puffed out, like they enjoyed doing this. Oh, wait. They do enjoy it. "What a bunch of hot dogs", I thought to myself, only to hear Angel laughing uncontrollably in my head.

"Angel, what are you doing in my head?"

"I was about to warn you that they are coming towards you, when I heard you calling them a bunch of hot dogs, and it was extremely hilarious because it's true in more ways than one."

"Oh. Well, thank you warning me, Angel."

"You're welcome Piper."

That's when I tried to shrink back as far as I could to the back of my cage, and tried to pretend that I'd died of starvation. Unfortunately, they didn't fall for it.

"Alright Subject Kappa-9. We're not falling for that trick. We saw you move. It's time to go to lab A-1. Then several pairs of rough, fur covered hands (paws) grabbed me in different areas. One grabbed my feet and started dragging me out, then another grabbed my arms and drug me harder out of the cage, then the third supported my head, keeping it from hitting the cage or the floor, as they had been chastised recently by a scientist for "damaging new experiments" before the new experiment made it to the lab to be experimented on. I was then pulled across the floor, or more like bouncing along it in a jerky motion that would make any normal person sick to their stomach, until we entered a room. They then strapped me down on a metal bed (more like a metal table used at animal hospitals. And I was all alone. I did hear Jason screaming behind me as I was brought here, but his words were drowned out as I was pulled away.

Another slight cliffhanger! Please R&R!
