When I were conscious again I felt a rope or something around my wrists...
Where by the sun were I?!
I opened my eyes and looked around but I really had no clue...
"You´re awake... Good." Gabriel said out of the shadows and I flinched.
"Don´t come near me!" I growled and tried to back down but moving was a little bit difficult...
"You are afraid of me?" he asked surprised and watched me puzzled.
I was! I so damn was!
He abducted me!
"Go away!" I told him and watched every little shadow around me.
He knelt in front of me but I tried to get away.
"Don´t!" I told him a little shaky...
"Be quiet. You don´t want to make her noticing you now." he told me and looked at the door behind him.
"Who?" I asked scared and he sighed.
"Nyx." he answered and the moment he said her name the door swung open.
I whimpered silently and tried to get away.
Not good! Really not good!
That woman looked at me like I were a prize she wanted to have...
I wanted to leave!
"Great job, Gabriel. I knew why I came to you." he told him and stepped right in front of me.
I started shaking and really hoped she wouldn´t touch me...
"What do you want from me?" I asked silently and closed my eyes.
I really was afraid!
Damn!
"We need you here, little sun. You´ll lead your father." she told me and I shook my head.
"Dad won´t come... Never... We had a fight... He won´t come..." I told her and flinched when she stroke my hair behind my ear.
"He will. Else he won´t have a daughter anymore." she said laughing and Gabriel tensed.
"Is this really necessary, Lady Nyx?" Gabriel asked her carefully and she looked at him with her scary eyes.
"Yes, it is. Make her scream for her Daddy! Or else I will do it with both of you!" she shouted angrily and Gabriel nodded silently.
"But... How should I?" he asked and tried to become invisible.
"I´ll send you some company. The two of you will make her scream for sure." she told him and I whimpered automatically.
I wanted to be in the camp again...
When Nyx was gone I looked at Gabriel again.
"You know that Dad won´t come after me, Gabriel... He still is angry. Please, let me go... I beg you, Gabriel..." I said really begging.
My eyes filled with tears...
I didn´t want them to hurt me...
When the door opened now I really had no chance to escape anymore...
That guy was at least two heads taller than I was...
And looked like the son of Ares I had flirted with in the woods when I wanted to hide the twins...
Damn...
"Jim... Haven´t expected you to be my company..." Gabriel said a little worried and hey, I felt like screaming anyway...
"Won´t miss the little sunshine screaming." he answered and I whimpered again.
Damn.
By the deities! There were days you just should stay in bed!
And I maybe should just have stayed by Connor or my aunt!
When Jim gripped into my hair I really wanted to kick him but I wasn´t able because even my legs were tied together...
"Don´t... Please, Jim..." I whispered scared but I was sure he wasn´t even listening.
He had beaten me this often... I really felt like a punching ball...
Gabriel had flinched everytime I were hit.
But at least I had refused to call Dad...
although every inch of my body hurt like hell...
I wouldn´t call him...
When Nyx entered the room she laughed about me.
"You are really stubborn but I am sure we can break you. You will call him. Gabriel will make you call him." she said with gentle voice and I shook my head.
"I will never call him..." I said silently but I didn´t know how much she could make you regret words...
"Your turn, Gabriel. I´ll stay." she told him and he looked at her with wide eyes.
"But it really could kill her." "I will say you how long. No second shorter!" she ordered and he nodded silently before he had filled a large tub with water.
Oh no! So no!
I shook my head when he came to me and pushed me to this tub...
"Please, Gabriel..." I whimpered but he couldn´t do anything else then obey...
He ducked my head into the water and I really tried to hold my breath...
When he pulled me up again I coughed and tried to breath.
"Stop it... please... stop it..." I whispered shaking.
"She hadn´t called him by now." Nyx said only and again Gabriel ducked me...
Again and again he did it and I really were begging that they stop this...
I started feeling dizzy...
And I really started to beg my father to appear...
I wouldn´t survive if he won´t appear...
Nyx would make Gabriel kill me...
'Please, Daddy... Don´t let me die... Please...' I prayed like never before when Gabriel ducked me again and I wasn´t able to fight against him any more.
I stopped struggling...
When Gabriel pulled me up again I coughed and felt weak...
"Daddy..." I whispered silently and Nyx laughed.
"Let´s wait a little. I think his little girl will be important enough for him to show up." Nyx laughed and Gabriel lay me down carefully.
"I am sorry, Dria... I am so sorry." he whispered but I wasn´t listening...
I was trying to catch my breath...
"Dad..." I whispered again and again.
When I could breath normally again I slowly relaxed a little bit.
Dad wasn´t appearing...
"Not enough, Gabriel. Maybe we need a little bit more despair." she said with a scary tone.
Gabriel nodded and took a dagger.
I shook my head when he knelt beside me and stabbed me in the belly...
I screamed in pain and whimpered when he pulled out the dagger again...
"What do you want from my father?" I asked with surprising serious voice and glared at Nyx.
"It´s only a business between your father and me, little sun. Go on, Gabriel." Nyx told him and I were ducked again...
I struggled but I was to weak...
"Dad..." I cried out even under water I heard my voice and Gabriel pulled me up again...
I spitted water out and felt horrible...
"Stop it... Please..." I begged between two breaths.
"Dria..." I heard somebody saying...
I smiled a little bit.
"Daddy..." I whispered silently and felt the warmth he always sent to me when he appeared.
Nyx laughed and Gabriel stepped a little bit away with me.
He lay me down on the ground and jumped nearly away when somebody all the sudden knelt beside me.
Warm, soft finger stroke my cheek and I relaxed.
"Dad..." I whispered weakly.
"I knew you would appear this time." Nyx said with a cold tone and Dad turned around with an angry shine in his golden eyes.
"How dare you hurt my daughter?!" he growled angrily and I closed my eyes when he started to glow.
I really didn´t want to become ash...
"Be careful, Apollo. Your daughter could turn to ash if you aren´t careful with your emotions." Nyx told him laughing and I felt a warm touch on my arm.
Dad really tried to control his power...
"What do you want?!" he asked but had his attention mostly on me.
I relaxed when the pain stopped and sighed silently.
"We wanted you here." she said easily and suddenly Dad was gone.
I sat up and looked for Dad, who was held by at least 4 demigods down.
"No! Let him go!" I screamed angry and was glowing myself now.
Nyx hissed and stepped away from me and the demigods looked at me in surprise.
So Dad could free himself.
But a moment later I fell on my knees and felt even more weak then before.
Gabriel watched me but didn´t do anything.
"Dad... Leave..." I whispered before I fainted.
I felt something warm before everything was gone...
