-ch7: Maybe this was a bad idea.-
Percy saw the blonde take out a guard in less than a second, which seemed a little impossible but he knew what he saw. He followed the boy throughout the hallways until the blonde got to a locked door.
He was fiddling with some keys. Probably ones he took from the guard.
Percy wasn't entirely sure what to do. He couldn't possibly just go over and beat the kid up. Well he could.. but...
Focus , Percy, he told himself.
With a surprise the blonde looked Percy's way and saw him. Percy was hoping that he really didn't see him and he tiptoed a little bit down the hallway. But it was too late him since he heard footsteps. The blonde walked out sword pointed at Percy.
Crap.
"Percy?", he said and lowered the sword.
"Yeah. Um. Hi.", Percy said.
"What are you doing here!"
"I think the real question is: What are you doing here?"
"Percy, I don't have time for this.", he said walking to the unlocked door. Percy followed him.
"What's going on? Thalia's been worried sick, we searched everywhere, and even guards are looking for you."
"This is where you're wrong.", Jason Grace said walking inside the room." The guards found me but did nothing about it. I'm secretly.. banished by them I guess. This room is the head guards office. I have to know what is going on."
"So you were able to sneak in because of your girlfriend?"
"She's not my girlfriend! I just met her! But yeah.. I met her in the forest."
"Smooth move."
He sighed." Watch the door and make sure no one comes and tries to kill us."
"Gotcha."
Few minutes later Percy saw some guards coming their way. He heard Jason mutter," No way.. I can't believe it."
"Um Jason. Guards are coming our way. We need to leave."
"But.."
" Come on. Grab whatever you need and let's go."
The two got out of the room and closed the door. They beat up the guards easily and ran out. Percy saw Annabeth talking to the girl Jason was with. Percy and Jason walked over to them.
"Jason. Thalia-", stared Annabeth.
"I know..", he sighed.
"Who's Thalia?", the other girl asked.
Jason lowered his voice making sure no one heard."She's my sister."
"Oh."
"We need to leave. Like. Now.", said Percy eyeing the guards.
" I'll explain more later." , Jason promised." We'll go out the other door and leave. Maybe it'll make them lose our route."
Percy nodded.
Him and Annabeth left the dance easily. But once they were walking through town Percy cringed at the voice.
"Well, Perseus. Your dad is not going to be happy."
Percy and Annabeth turned around. There was a Chariot pulled by horses. The back of it had a wooden cell. They could see the tops of it will bars for "windows".
"Are you arresting us?", Annabeth demanded.
"Might as well be considering your parents won't be happy."
"Why are you doing this?", Percy asked with his anger rising.
"Because I need you out of the way. You know too much."
"Look, Stockton. You can leave now or-"
"Or what?", he laughed." Guards. It's time to send these two away."
The two didn't realize they're were guards behind them. Percy tried to fend them off along with Annabeth but she was shoved in the back of the chariot. Percy was shoved to the ground landing on his shoulder. He groaned. Worst idea ever. He was thrown into the back of the chariot.
