Demigods in District 12 II-Revenge

by Annabeth Pie

It's almost time for the 101th Hunger Games, but Percy went missing. Katniss and the mayor of 12 believe he was taken by the Capitol. But that's not all. All the tributes this year somehow are descendants of their old friends, and want revenge. Not only that, but the tributes from 12 are demigods. May The Odds Be Ever In Their Favor.

10. Chapter 10

Once I walked off the train and into the station, I knew something was wrong. The place was nearly deserted, with a few camera men and one peacekeeper, but that was all. I helped Abi and Wyatt out, and the camera crew began recording live. The Peacekeeper led us through the station, and the cameras followed. Katniss brought up the front, while I brought up the rear. The Peacekeeper pushed open the door, and we got a warm welcome from the VIP capitol guests.

I smiled and waved, ignoring the few glares from people in the crowd who despised our feat last year. We made our way into the building, and Abi and Wyatt were quickly taken into the prep rooms for the tribute parade tonight. Katniss and I took the elevator to the 12th floor, and just sat staring at each other. After a few minutes, I broke the silence.

"So...Do you do this everytime?" I asked.

"You mean sit alone and do nothing while the prep team is killing the tributes?" Katniss asked. "Pretty much"

"Have you ever felt-"

"-Like you just want to go down there and at least see what the heck is going on?" Katniss finished. "Yes again."

I sighed and started playing with my hair. I stopped when I tugged at a farmilliar gray streak. It was one of the strongest bonds between Percy and I-we both had held up the sky and gained a gray streak. It had faded after our journey to Tartarus, but became lively once again after the Giant War. Half was because we became immortal, and the other half was since Gaea used the blood from both of us to rise, and our bond was returned.

I started crying as I touched the gray, and hoped Katniss wouldn't notice. She did.

"Annabeth!" she cried out. "Are you okay?"

"Yes," I mumbled, pushing the strand behind my ear. "I'm not crying."

"Okay, whenever someone says they aren't crying, they are," Katniss pieced together. "What's wrong?"

"Just...just Percy," I scowled. This wasn't a total lie.

Katniss nodded.

"I know how it feels to take someone for granted, then have him taken away from you when you least expect it."

"He?" I asked. "Katniss, I told you all about me last year. It's time for me to hear about you."
