I fell to the ground on my stomach on cold, bloodstained concrete with my face turned to the right, staring at the person who had kicked me in the gut. The same person who kept me trapped here.

I was sore everywhere with cuts, shallow and deep, all over me. I forced myself to stand up and uncap my sword Riptide and pointed it at my captor. I was all shaky and lightheaded from blood lose.

"Ahhh not quite broken yet I see." He said.

"I'll never break,"

"We'll see about that," He said evily, a smirk on his face. I charged.

4 weeks ago.

"Hey Percy! Chiron wants all consulors in the Big House for a meeting pronto!" I heard Grover yell from across the arena.

"Got it G-man!" I yelled back. Grover nodded his head and ran off while I capped Riptide and started to jog my way over to the Big House.

I got there in about 5 minutes and then took my seat around the ping pong table in the game room.

"Great everyone is here," Chiron started "Now as you all know campers have been disapearing for two weeks now,"

It was true. Annabeth and the rest of the Athena campers had been very upset when Malcom had disapeared about a week ago. A newer Hermes camper had disapeared only 3 days ago. One day they're in camp the next they're gone with out a trace.

"Well we have reason to believe that Kronos is responsible for it." Chiron finished. Wait what?

"But-didn't-he-what?" I stuttered like an idiot. Luckily I wasn't the only one, everyone else looked like babbling idiots too so I was in the clear. The only one who wasn't like that was Annabeth, she just looked slightly confused.

Chiron pounded his hoof on the floor to get our attention. "I know that we just defeated him seven months ago but the gods have sensed his consiciousness return, we must all be on high alert. We will have lookouts in the trees and I want you to utilize the buddy system-"

But then we all started arguing and said Hades no are we doing that. I like spending with my Annabeth but I need alone time too.

"I understand that you don't want that but you will be safer like this! We don't want any more dispearing campers!" Chiron yelled. Chiron was a relatively calm guy and never raised his voice so we were all shocked when he did this and that ment he was extremly worried. So to say it basicly, we all shut up'ed pretty fast.

"Ok go inform the rest of your cabins and find somebody to stick around with and be on high alert at all times." He said stiffly.

Since I didn't have any siblings I just went with Annabeth to her cabin and tried to help explain things but instead I just sort of sat there and zoned out

"Ok so everybody pick somebody to stick with be safe!" She finished and all of the siblings ran out of the cabin to buddy up with their friends.

Annabeth was sitting on her bed with her hand againest her chin looking very worried.

"Worried about Malcom?" I guessed sitting down next to her.

"Yes and everyone else too. I mean how are we going to beat him this time? And did he already…kill them?" Her voice broke on the last part and I put my arm around her and rubbed her shoulder.

"It's going to be alright it always is," I threw in a smile stood up.

"Now how about some nice calm sword fighting to ease the nerves?" I offered, smile still on my face and put out a hand for her.

She just laughed and grabbed my hand and we headed out to the arena.

(I wanted to break it here but I also wanted longer chapter so I'm continuing onward)

"So any rules Wise Girl?"

"Only that I'm going to beat you! You don't have the Curse anymore!" Oh yeah I might have sort of had Apollo take it off. Why? Because I would rather that if someone was going to stab me in the back, it wouldn't kill me.

Annabeth and I circled each other and then I charged. She expected this and tried to trip me but I leapt over her leg and was about to try to trip her when she spun around and slashed her knife but I blocked it with Riptide. It continued like this until Annabeth tripped over a rock that had been hidden by dirt and I had Riptide at her throat.

"Ha! I won!"

"Please! The rock did all the work."

I was about to make a comeback when we heard a cry of 'Help!' from the woods. We both looked toward the woods and Annabeth nodded.

We ran into the woods weapons out and looked around.

"Help!" We heard it again.

We came to a halt at a fork in the trail we followed and then heard a third cry.

I turned around and was about to ask Annabeth which way we should go but she wasn't there. I spun around looking for her.

"Annabeth! Where are you?" I yelled. I was about to run deeper into the forest when suddenly a voice behind said:

"Going somewhere Percy?"

Ok people some of you may know of my story The Terrors but I cannot decide what to do next so I wrote this. I really bad didn't want to start working on two stories at once especially since I'm already planning another one but this one refused to be ignored so yeah...
