Nico and I walked out of our cell and the moment we did chains appeared on our wrists. I gaped at them for a moment but Nico just sighed and started walking when the telkhine poked him in the back with its sword. It poked me too and I walked forward a few steps behind Nico. We walked past dozens maybe hundreds of cells. Most were empty but some had other prisoners in the same weird striped clothes. There were a couple we passed that were muttering to them selves.

If there were so many empty cells then why were Nico and I sharing one? That was messing with my mind a bit. We kept on walking and eventually went down some stairs.

Well, if I thought the kitchen looked disgusting then the food tasted like they scraped the kitchen clean and made it into the food.

I looked down into my plastic tray-I always wondered where they bought these. ?- and saw a brownish grey lump of mush. I grimaced but was about to take a small spoonful with my spork when I saw it move. I recoiled and then dug through the lump to find a small worm in it.

"What the Hades!" I yelled. Everyone stared at me as if I just said something funny, but then their faces paled. I looked at Nico confusedly but he was looking at me as if I was a dead man.

"Uh Nico?" I said waving my spork in his face.

"Just be quiet, don't say anything else." He said sternly through tightly clenched teeth. I looked at him confused but did as he said. I looked around and saw guards walking toward us. They had stupid evil smiles on their faces. One was tapping his sword up and down on his hand and the other was cracking his knuckles. Oh gods. I thought. The guards came closer and I saw they were Cyclopes. I guess they had some personal problem with the gods because the majority of them fought on our side last year.

The guard with the sword had a big dull green eye and his two front teeth jutted out of mouth. The tooth of the left was longer while the one on the right looked like someone had knocked the bottom of it off. This guard was bald. He was around seven and a half feet tall. The one cracking his knuckles being all macho had a brown eye but it was a lot smaller than other Cyclopes eyes. It was almost human sized. He had a small tuft of hair on his head like a baby but judging from the size of his muscles of this guy he was no newborn.

"Perseus Jackson you have to come wit us," The blad one said. He had a weird voice, it was like a New Yorker accent but really, really low and with a lisp. When he said 'with' it sounded like 'wit'.

"Yeah, yeah," said the other one in the same voice, "you gots to come with us."

"Um yeah, can I just stay here?" I tried, and failed. The Cyclopes laughed and then roughly grabbed me by my arms and started dragging me.

"Hey! Let me go you over grown zit!" I yelled. That probably wasn't the best idea.

The guards growled and threw me against the wall. My breath left me and I saw stars. The guards just laughed, and grabbed my arms again and continued dragging me. I looked over at Nico and he looked at me with true terror in his eyes. He looked like he wanted to get up and help me but his chains were chained under the table. If they could make Nico scared then I wondered what would happen to me when I got to wherever the guards were taking me.

After going through hundreds of hallways, we came to a stop at a huge metal door. It had a handle big enough for my head to fit through and it looked like it had little blood splatters on it. I didn't want to know where those came from.

Blady put his hand in the huge handle, which was the perfect size for his big meaty hands. He pushed down and the door made a click and swung open with a creeeeeak! Tufty grabbed me by my underarm and continued in dragging me down this new hallway. Seriously, what building had this many hallways? It was like a maze.

This hallway was incredibly long. So long I couldn't see the end in the poor lighting they had. The lights had those little cages over them so they wouldn't break and the walls were a grey metal that looked like people had splattered random stuff on them. Grease, monster goop, monster dust, blood… All that happy non-gross stuff.

This time we only walked (well they walked, I was dragged) a short amount of time when Baldy and Tufty stopped in front of a door just like the one at the beginning of the hallway. Baldy opened the door and then, of course, Tufty threw me in like a rag doll. Both of them laughed like idiots when I hit the floor on my face hard, and they turned around and shut the door with deafening boom and a small click. Locked.

Groaning, I peeled myself off the ground and held a hand up to my nose, when I touched it stung and I gasped and my hand recoiled. I held my hand and saw lots of blood all over it. I looked around and saw that this room looked just like the hallways, except more red splatters than the others. Great. Just splendid. I'm stuck in a horror movie prison, my nose is probably broken, and I'm locked in some kind of torture chamber. Wonderful.

I took a step towards the door tried to grasp the huge handle. It took both of my hands but I figured if it wasn't locked I would have be able to open it. Probably. I pressed down anyway to see if there was a small chance it was unlocked when I heard clicking outside.

I let go of the handle and went to the other side of the room. The door clicked twice this time and swung open to reveal a face I would always hate with a passion strong to kill an elephant with a plastic knife. Kelli. I glared at her but she just had that fake frown on her face.

"You couldn't last three days Percy?" she said "three days?"

I stayed silent.

"I know you could do so much better but, I knew this would happen, so I won." My curiosity was too much and I burst out, "Won? Won what?" Kelli smiled that stupid I-know-something-that-you-don't smile and then snapped her fingers. Chains burst out from the wall behind me and wrapped themselves around my wrists tightly. They pulled back into the wall, and I was once again, slammed against a wall. What was this? National Everyone Hurt Percy Day? I blinked at the stars and building headache as this was my second time being slammed against a wall and feebly tried to fight against my restraints. They wouldn't budge.

Kelli walked over gracefully in her 5-inch black strappy heels. Even in the horrible lighting, her red dress sparkled like millions of red diamonds. Her face was beautiful-no! Get a grip of yourself Percy. She's a bloodsucking monster that wants to kill you. But her eyes were so pretty and glittering-no, no they're not. They're blood red and evil. But her skin was glowing and looked so soft- Snap. Out. Of. IT! I blinked hard and saw Kelli right in front of my face.

"Woa! I yelled and back crawled against the wall.

"Oh Percy. Are you afraid of me? She said in a sickly sweet way. As an answer I tried to glare daggers and I spit at her feet. She scowled at me and her hand curled around my neck and tightened. I started choking, tying to get air, I scratched at her hand. She just smirked and started raising me up higher on wall until I was a little bit above her. Considering how petite she is, she shouldn't be able to do that, but, monsters aren't supposed to be real and here one is choking me to death. She went up on her tippy toes, came up to my ear, and whispered, "You want to know what I've won? I've won you." She coldly. She slid her hand down my throat and pulled the collar down, exposing my neck. She came closer and closer until her nose touched my skin and she bit down hard.

I screamed.

I thrashed but the venom was already starting to take effect and I fell still, frozen in place. I felt lightheadedness and dizziness falling over me and it made my vision swim. After what seemed like forever, Kelli let go. She had my blood trickling down her mouth to her chin and some smeared on her mouth. She was smiling but with her mouth closed which was weird because she's usually showing off her pearly white teeth. Then I saw her only very slight Adams Apple going up and down and I realized she was still swallowing my blood. Eck. That was a very disturbing.

"Mmmmmm! You taste even better the second time!" Kelli said happily. Gods, the bite hurts. And she took so much blood that my head feels so light it could be a balloon. Not to mention her comment, "I won you." If she could drink from me at anytime she wants, I'll be dead by next week.

"Oh Percy honey," She said, "we're going to be such great friends!"

I blacked out.

Ha! I knew I could do it!

Magic Cat: We never doubted you for a minute.
