Chapter 11

Disclaimer: I don't own anything.

Summary: I know that some of you were confused by the last chapter. Don't worry, it's not difficult. (Gosh! I so sound like my English teacher right now!). The way Percy was feeling is like say... Neville got the remembral in HP-Philosopher's Stone (which I don't own). It glowed red and Neville knew that he was forgetting something. What he didn't know was that what he was forgetting, which is the same for Percy. You must have got that feeling sometime. E.g. Tuesday when I was walking to my class, I felt that I was forgetting something, or like something bad was gonna happen. And that day went really bad...which I am not gonna tell you and that English teacher picked me out for something that was not my fault. See, there's a reason I don't like to sit in the front seat and ma'am so had to change my seat. No fair. No lie.

Third Person POV

"You need to help her, please, I beg you."

"Why don't you do the honours?"

"See, I will be in your debt forever, just this one time please."

"And if he finds out?"

"I'll take the blame," he said with finality.

"You care too much about her. You are mixing two wrong businesses here, bro. You'll get in trouble."

"It's different, she's like a sister."

Sister. He hadn't seen his sister for a very long time, but he didn't forget...

"Fine, I'll do it. For your sister."

"Thank you! Thank you so much. You don't know how long I have been hitting myself for putting her in danger."

"Who is she?" After all, he was a curious lad.

"..." he whispered in his ear.

His blood turned cold.

Percy P0V

(Annabeth was kidnapped at night. 2 day after she was kidnapped.)

My phone rang.

"Reporting," I said.

"I hope everything is going according to plan."

"Yes, sir, in fact I'm going there now."

"Good."

"Thank you ,sir."

"Yes. I believe you know of how much importance is this that you succeed-"

"Of course sir. Absolutely."

"The very best to you."

I cut the line.

It was past lunch time. I usually sit with Jason, Piper and Leo. They are cool people.

Something caught my eye.

"Perce, c'mon, you are gonna be late."

"Yeah, be right back," waving at them to go inside.

Kept against the school was dustbin. Nothing unusual.

Annabeth didn't come yesterday and today. Must be sick or something.

But against that dustbin was a bag. Plain black bag of quality. Weird.

See, if he saw a bag in a dustbin he wouldn't have been suspicious but a school bag in a school dustbin- that's something you don't see everyday.

He went closer. He was almost there.

"What are you doing?"

Percy jumped.

"Nothing," Percy replied.

"OK then. I wanted to talk to you," said Luke.

"What are you doing here?"

"Um.. I had a free period," it almost came out as a question.

"Whatever, I couldn't care less," I straightened my bag straps.

"Please Percy, what have I ever done to you?"

"Seriously, you are asking me that? What happened 2 years back?" with that I walked inside.

Seriously, this guy messed up everything.

"But I was forced to."

Annabeth POV

(A/N: ok, it's a bit dark here. So... not that much. And its rated T for a reason.)

There were four men.

Men who looked smart, cunning and plain evil. Looking at them I knew that they weren't going to fall for my tricks. But who said I wasn't trying.

They took me to another room. It was dark but a light bulb was flickering in the corner but it wasn't enough. I could barely make out their faces or the contents of the room. I put a tentative step ahead and instantly collided with a table or something. "Ouch," escaped my lips.

"Be quiet girlie," said the one with a hard and rugged face.

"There, sit in that chair and keep quiet. Be grateful we are leaving you be just because you are a girl. One word and you will be...," he let the sentence hang. He tied my waist and legs up against the hard wooden chair.

15 minutes passed in silence. But there's only so much I could help. I began fidgeting but the ropes cut against the skin. I knew that when these would come out(if ever) there would be red gashes on my skin.

I didn't know why, maybe I thought that they had hearts or families, or they would pity me, or that they had drugged me, but I spoke up.

"Can I get a glass of water, please?"

The rugged faced one ordered the weakest looking(if you could call the one with scars and red burns on a hard face weak) to do the same. He got up on his feet and stretched and with no hurry whatsoever made way out of the room. Few minutes later he returned with a slightly brown looking liquid and handed it to me. Taking the glass I studied it. It wasn't the cleanest of course and maybe I shouldn't have expected it to be. I studied the water. It didn't seem to be fit for drinking. I must have been at it for sometime because the leader came closer to me and shouted, "What the hell?"

Instantly the glass flew out of my hand and landed on the floor. Slow motioned. I looked up to see his eyes diluted with anger and his face going purple.

I looked down and to my greatest fear saw pieces of glass littering his shoes, the water drenching his pant.

This was not good. I began trembling and for good reason to; a huge hard hand came towards my cheek. Hot tears flew out of my eyes and my hand instantly went to my check which hurt like hell.

"WHAT THE *UCK?"

I trembled in fear.

"We let you off nicely and this is how you pay us. Now we will show what it is like. Come on boys," he sneered.

Next instant I was being tortured. By belts.

Three pair of strong hand held me flat against the table while the fourth was slashing his belt against my back. I cried out like there was no tomorrow (which was ironic).

Never before anyone ever had done this to me because one way or another, someone or the other had saved me.

My father, the boy under the bridge, Percy and for normal problems and all Thalia and the others had been there. Now, not so much.

A/N:Cliffy. Just because I'm tired of writing.

Tell me if you liked the chapter and I want lots of reviews ''cause I worked hard for this one.
