Hi! I'm so happy to write again. Thanks for following me, RedRaven08, Wrendsor, Hooded Lord, and Sankrisid23! Also, thanks for the favorite, Hooded Lord. It means a lot to me. Happy you enjoyed the chapter TrueTeal. I'm astounded that this story already has 39 viewers! Here's another Percy POV, and a first Angel POV. Also, italics is all characters but Angel. Angel is in Bold.

Percy:

My whole body was sore. I could barely move my head to look around my cage.

There was a small tray of mushy brownish stuff, and a cup of dirty water. I downed the water in a single gulp, not caring about the nasty aftertaste. It only made me even more thirsty, but at least my throat was wet for a while now. I poked at the brown stuff, and finally tried a bit. It tasted like it was made from monster guts. It possibly was.

When I finished eating the nasty stuff, the door opened, and the wolf-men brought in a small girl with light blonde hair. They shoved her in the cage beside me. When I looked closer, I was astounded to find a pair of large, white wings. They emerged from small rips in her shirt.

She was unconscious. I couldn't wait till she woke up, so I could have some company. Maybe she knew about this place.

I still couldn't wrap my mind around the fact that she had wings. An hour or so later, the wolf-men came for me. They took me to the same lady. Then, they left the room. Me and the lady stood, eying each other. The lady took notes on a clipboard. She made me stand erect, slouch down, spin in a circle, jump, stick out my tongue, etc. It was awfully humiliating.

In the middle of nowhere, she said, "Perseus Jackson..."

I gasped, and said, "How do you know my name?"

"Oh, I've heard all about you. You and your camp, and your gods. Son of Poseidon..."

"How?!" I exclaimed, and she just smirked, and gave me an electric shock.

"I think we're done here," she said.

Then, she pulled out a walkie-talkie and called in the wolf-men.

"Another endurance test today," she said to them. Oh no. Not again. Thankfully, they didn't take me to the treadmill room. I didn't think this test would be any better though. They opened a door, and shoved me into a corridor that split off into two more. The door locked behind me. I walked forward, and took a right. This split off into three ways, and I realized I was in a maze.

I stopped and considered my options. This was too close to the labyrinth. I couldn't bear it. I screamed and kicked a wall, just hurting my toes. As I clutched my foot, I felt the floor getting warmer under my bare feet. It got warmer and warmer. It was started to get TOO warm in here. Then, I received a nasty shock. I sprinted through the maze, not caring what direction I took. If I slowed, I received a shock, and the heat was turned up faster. Right, left, right, right, left, right, straight, left, straight , right, right. The air was hard to breath, and the ground seared my feet. I was sweating like mad. My vision swam. I started seeing my friends at the end of tunnels. I ran towards them, only to have them disappear. My feet went numb, and my legs moved automatically. I fell to the floor, and got shocked several times. I struggled forward. Right, left, right, falling, shocked, straight, left, left, straight, falling, shocked, straight, left.

I took another right turn, and suddenly, I was out in the cool lab air. As the wolf men came in to get me, I fell into a dead faint.

Angel:

I woke up panting. I looked around me. So it wasn't a nightmare after all. I really was back at the school. I screamed in rage and pounded the bars of my cage, sobbing. An Eraser came and gave me a cup of dirty water, and I gulped it down. Then I spit on the floor as he left.

He growled threateningly at me, but I just stuck my tongue out at him.

Max would come for me. I wouldn't be left here. I couldn't be left here!

After an hour or so, staring at the ceiling, I decided to be rebellious and break the sinister quiet. I started singing songs I'd heard on the radio. My clear voice rang out and filled the room. An Eraser came in and told me to shut it, but I just ignored him and kept singing. I felt my happiness driving back the evil of these people, and pushing the darkness into the corners. Finally, I ran out of songs to sing. Another half an hour passed, and then the door opened. Three Eraser walked in. They were carrying a older boy. He was unconscious. After they threw him in the cage and left, I studied him. He looked about sixteen or seventeen. That was pretty old for here. I'd never seen him before in my previous time at the school, so he had to be new.

That was extremely odd, because most everyone here was a test tube baby.

He was handsome, but had a mischievous look to him. His black hair was unruly, and he was in shape. That's how she knew he was new. He had relatively sized muscles, and a tan, yet he still looked scrawny. I thought he was kind of cute actually. He smiled in his sleep, and I decided to be nosy. I don't know why I did it. I suppose I was just curious.

I closed my mind and concentrated. I heard voices. One was a girl's voice. It was girly, but intelligent sounding, "Seaweed Brain!" Seaweed brain? What the heck did that mean? Was that supposed to be an insult? She said it accusingly, but with a amused tone to her voice, like she was just teasing him. I heard another voice, this time, a high pitched boy's voice. " Ok! Ok! I get it. Everyone is happy that Uncle Leo is back," he said, agitatedly, but with mirth. The girl from before laughed, and so did another boy. I wondered if this was the boy lying in the cage beside me. Then, he shifted in his sleep, and I heard a cruel, but oddly sleepy sounding voice saying, "Such a valuable pawn. But do not fear, Percy Jackson. Come North! Your friends will die, yes. But I will preserve you for now. I have great plans for you." Angel shuddered. For some reason, she felt like this was far more evil than any whitecoat.

Suddenly, the boy shuddered, and woke up. He rubbed his eyes, and looked to see if the whitecoats had brought food yet. He didn't notice me yet. I concentrated and heard his thoughts in my mind.

Oh boy, I can't wait to see what they have planned for me today. Oh, the food is here. I better eat. Yuck, this stuff is nasty, but I'm hungry. This water tastes awful. Ugh. I'm still thirsty though. I'm so sick of being in this cage.

Hi. What's your name?, I asked the boy.

The boy jumped, startled.

Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I'm in the cage beside you.

He looked over and gasped. "How are you doing that?!" he asked incredulously.

"I can read minds," I said. "What's your name?"

"Percy. You can read my mind?!" he said, stunned.

"Yeah," I said. "Where did you come from? You must be new, because you still have a tan."

"Oh," said Percy. "Um... I was at a camp."

"Oh cool," I said. "I'm sorry you got caught.

I went into his mind. He was very nervous and confused. I would be too. He had been captured, not born here. This was obviously very traumatic for him. I also sensed he was hiding something from me. Something was different about him.

I can't tell her! She'd never believe me anyways. Although, she does have wings, so I guess she would believe more things than regular mortals. I doubt she'd see past the mist though. I'll ask her how she got the wings. Is she like, and angel or something?

"No, I'm not an angel," I said. "But my name IS Angel."

He started again. "I forgot you could read minds there for a minute," he said, laughing nervously. "How much did you hear?"

"You're different," I said. "I don't know how though. What's the mist?"

"Well, have you learned about the Greek gods and goddesses?" he asked.

"Yeah a little," I said. "Why?"

"They're real," he said.

I gasped, "No way. You're just pulling my leg!"

"I knew you would never believe me," he said.

"You promised this isn't some kind of joke?" I asked.

"Yes. Anyways, I AM different. I'm a demigod, half mortal, half god. My father is Poseidon."

"How cool!" I exclaimed. "Do you like have powers?"

"Gods, I'm stupid!" he exclaimed. "I tried breaking out with my sword, and forgot to use my powers!" "Duh, Percy," he said, smacking himself in the forehead. "I'll try it later okay?"

"You have a sword?!" I asked, impressed.

"Yeah. I did. It got thrown down the incinerator. I forgot to check my pocket to see if it's back yet, or if it got torched."

"See if it's back in your pocket?!"

"Oh, yeah, it returns magically to my pocket."

"Your pocket?! How small is this thing?!"

"Oh, haha, yeah, I forgot to tell you. It's a ball point pen until you uncap it. It's called Riptide" He pull a pen out of his pocket, and took of the lid. He didn't even bother to keep the lid. He just tossed it on the ground. A sword sprang from the pen, and he was holding a three foot long sword. It gleamed bronze in the light.

"What is it made from?" I asked. "Cuz' that's not iron."

"Celestial bronze," he said.

"Umm, what's that?"

" Celestial bronze is sacred metal forged in Mount Etna. It's pretty rare, but it's the only metal that will harm monsters, other than imperial gold and stygian iron."

"Okay..." This was getting a bit hard to believe, but the proof was right in front of me. I had just seen a sword pop out from a pen.

"Okay, well, I'll give the water a go," he said.

He raised his hand, then scrunched up his face. Was this really all a joke? Was this a test from the school?

I read his mind to see if I could find out anything more he hadn't told me.

Why isn't there any water around me? That can't be. I mean, I'm getting signals from the water in our cups, and I could probably control the small bits of other liquids, which are probably medicines and stuff, but not right now, with how weak I am. For gods' sake. I'm an idiot. I should pray to my dad. He can bust me out of here pronto. Okay um, hey dad, I know this is a big request, but I'm like, stuck in this weird hospital/lab place where they are torturing me. Could you like send a wave to destroy this place or something?

Suddenly, I heard a deep, but kind voice in Percy's head.

Perseus. Where are you boy? I hear you, but I cannot sense your presence. You are off the map.

I think I'm in a desert somewhere. I can't sense water anywhere.

I am getting a signal, but It won't hone in. You're either in California, or Nevada.

Oh, well at least I'm not in the Sahara.

That's the attitude boy. I'll let your friends know where you are. That should help them find you quicker. Good luck.

Dad, wait!

But the voice was gone. Percy sighed. "My dad says..."

"I know," I said.

"Were you in my head again?!" he asked accusingly.

"Yeah, sorry," I bowed my head.

"It's all right. By the way, how old are you anyways? Would you mind telling me more about yourself?"

"I'm six and my name is Angel."

"How did you get the wings?"

"I'm a test-tube baby. The whitecoats inserted avian DNA into my genes. I'm 98% human, 2% bird."

"You were born here?" he asked frowning.

"Yeah. So were my flock mates."

"There's more of you guys?!" he exclaimed.

"Yeah. Max, Fang, Iggy, Gazzy, and Nudge,"

"Umm, who named you guys?"

"We named ourselves, silly," I said, giggling.

"Umm..."

"Well, otherwise, I would have been called, Subject A19.

"Good point," he laughed. "So how much do you know about this place?"

"Well, we call this The School"
