Hi! You guys and your reviews make me so happy!

MarshmellowSkies: Thanks so much! I'm glad you like it!

clo7615: Thank you! My best friend found out about me being terrified of them and now he's teasing me about it and sending me pictures and every time I scream and drop my phone. I've decided to never tell him anything ever again.

Guest: I'm glad you are curious! Enjoy!

Guest: I know I'm sorry! I'll try and update either 1 time a week or once every two weeks.

Cold.

I was cold. Not to mention exhausted.
After that little encounter with the spiders and the whole 'Percy holding me while I cried' thing, we were thrown back into what I called our 'cell'. But this time we weren't chained to anything and we were free to walk around. I went to a corner of the cell and sat down, pulling my knees to my chest and wrapping my arms around them tightly.

"Annabeth?" Percy asked. I looked at him. "Are you okay?"

"Oh yeah. Just peachy." I mumbled.

"What's your problem?"

"What's my problem? What is my problem? Hm… well let's see, we've been Kidnapped and I just got tortured… so my problem is that there is no way out and we are going to die."

"Well it's not like it's my fault." Percy mumbled. I barely caught it.

"What?" I asked.

"I said it's not my fault." He said angrily.

"Oh but it's mine?!" I stood up.

"Well we wouldn't be here if you didn't go find him!"

"He came for you!"

"But he wouldn't have caught me if I didn't have to save you!"

"I had it under control! I had a plan!"

"What were you gonna do? Batt your eyelashes and hope he was gonna let you go? Reason with him? You were caught Annabeth!"

"Well I told you there was someone else but you were too dimwitted to see it! I told you to run, you idiot!"

"I wasn't just going to leave you!" he yelled.

I threw my hands up. "Gods you're insufferable."

"Thanks! I try." He replied sarcastically. I let out an exasperated sigh before returning to my previous position on the ground. I heard Percy mumble something under his breath but I was too emotionally and physically drained to ask what he said.

I stayed with my head resting on my knees for a long time, listening to Percy pace around the room. Eventually he stopped and sat down, not next to me if that's what you were thinking. More like on the other side of the room. We sat in silence for what seemed like hours, but it could've just been minutes. I didn't know… we had no way of telling time in there. I heard Percy stand up again but I didn't think much of it. I only looked up when the door opened and light flooded into the room. I held a hand in front of my face. Percy was now standing in the middle of the room and he quickly backed up towards me. Even when he was pissed at me he had to be Mr. Hero.

Idiot.

He stood so that he was in front of me, but I could still see who was walking down the stairs.
It was someone I'd never seen before. He walked down the stairs and then stopped.
"Sit down against the wall." He said to Percy. Percy didn't move.

Once again may I say… idiot.

"Sit down." He said more forcefully. I reached up and grabbed Percy's hand, pulling slightly. Percy squeezed my hand before letting it go and sitting down. "Don't move." The man said as he walked to the middle of the room. He had a tray in his hands. He placed it down before walking backwards to the stairs. It almost seemed as if he was…scared. I brushed it off as he closed the door and we were left in darkness again. I looked at Percy before crawling towards the tray.

I felt the corners of my mouth turn up in a small smile when I saw what was on the tray. I turned to Percy. "They brought us food." I said breathlessly. Percy quickly stood up and walked towards me. The tray held one small loaf of bread and two plastic cups filled with water.

Percy and I both took a cup and I drained mine in five seconds flat. "You can have the bread." Percy said after we finished drinking. I snorted. "What?"

"It's cute that you think I'm just going to eat this by myself." I said. I saw Percy's cheeks turn a light pink.

"I'm not hungry." He said.

"Then save it for later." I broke the loaf in half and handed the bigger half to Percy.

"At least give me the smaller piece."

I shook my head and took a bite. "I already ate from it." He glared at me. I smiled sheepishly.

"Annabeth." He said.

"Percy." I said in the same tone.

"You need to keep your energy up."

I scoffed. "So do you. You are a growing boy for god's sake, Percy."

"But-!"

"Nope. No buts. Now shut up so I can eat my damn bread." I said.

Percy sighed. "I can't just take the bigger half."

I looked at him disbelievingly. "What are you going to do Percy? I already ate like, half of mine." It was true. While we were arguing I had taken a few bites.

"Annabeth…"

"Dammit Percy just eat your bread!" I said. "You have to anyways because I already ate my piece." I shoved the rest of my bread in my mouth.

"You are so stubborn." Percy said while finally taking a bite of the bread.

"You're welcome." I swallowed the rest of my bread.

"How is it," Percy said. "That we have been kidnapped and you have the ability to create an argument about bread and then win the argument?"

"Well," I said. "I choose to look on the positive side of things."

Percy laughed. "You didn't seem to do that an hour ago."

"Shut up." I pushed him. He stuck his tongue out and smiled. But it quickly disappeared as the door open again and Gabe walked down the stairs.

I suck at endings I'm sorry.
