Ok peeps! I got a challenge for ya'll! First person to tell me who Themis is, and what Umbrae means get a special prize! First and second who only know one, (I want both! And please don't just go look it up on the internet!) Get honorable mentions and all the rest just get mentions.
Magic Cat: What's the prize?
Me: Only the winner and I will know! :D The rest of world once I see fit! Well onward!
My eyelids felt heavy and crusty, and I could see light shining through them, which I assumed, was why I was awake. I felt the now familiar feeling of being touched by Terrors or Umbrae. I tried to force my eyes open but the dim light burned them and I shut them closed again fast. I tried again and saw the familiar sight of my arms being dragged by the Terrors.
I was being dragged by the Terrors to presumably my/our cell. I looked over and saw Harry being dragged as well but he was unconscious, but the weird thing was he looked pale. Not like he hasn't been out in sunlight pale, but sickly pale. He had bags under his eyes and I could see blue veins in his neck, as well as in his hands and a few under his arms.
I looked down at my hands and saw I was no longer tan. I was the same sickly pale as Harry with veins visible under the skin and probably had the same baggy eyes. All over I was sore from the daily sessions with Heken. We finally found out what he was doing, he would go inside our minds (creepy right?) and make us feel excoriating pain and feed of what we were feeling. He said that fear and pain were some of the most abundant things in the world so why not utilize it?
Personally, I found it sick and twisted. It drained you of life making you feel miserable and leaving you feeling like a 10ft. drakon had stepped on you and then chewed up by a hellhound. It sucked. Bad.
When we got to the door that lead to the basement the Terrors opened the door and threw us down the steps into our cell, good thing Harry was unconscious because I accidently landed on him. Oops.
Harry groaned and I pulled him into a sitting position.
"Dude, are you okay?" I asked.
"Besides having life sucked out of me? Yeah, just spectacular." Harry said.
I ignored what he said 'cause in truth I would probably would have said the same thing.
"So… About the whole demigod thing," Harry said "I-I think I believe you," Wait what? Before he acted like I was crazy!
"Really? Why?"
"Well Heken always calls you 'Child of the Sea God' and 'The Subject of The Great Prophecy' soooooo yeah."
" Uh huh. Well ok then," I said "Sooooo do you have any escape plans?" I asked.
"Well-"But he was interrupted by a big WHOOSH! From the corner of the room. We turned and saw the big portal thinger-mi-jig that had brought us to this hellhole, to our utter surprise a big mass of people flew out of it and toward the opposite wall with Harry and I's heads following them, and then winced when they hit said wall, especially when we heard a crunch and a snap.
"Ouch! Hermione I think you broke my wrist!" I heard a British accent clad voice say.
"Well I'm sorry Ronald I couldn't exactly control where I was going now could I?" I heard a female British accent clad voice say. I noticed she had the bushiest hair I had ever seen, even after Thalia had electrocuted me.
"Hey when you two stop arguing like an old married couple you mind helping us find out where we are?"
The girl looked like she was going to say something but there was another WHOOSH! And what looked like another three people flew in and it the opposite wall.
"Ugh, I think I landed on your reed pipes Grover." I heard a figure with black hair and dressed in all black say.
"Just get up!" A girl with blonde hair said.
Wait a minute. Grover? Black hair dressed in all black? Reed Pipes? Blonde hair?
"Nico? Grover? Annabeth?" I said.
"Percy?"They all said "PERCY!" Annabeth yelled.
"Um hullo? Hermione? Ron, over here!" Harry said.
"Hold on Harry were trying to find you." Ron said and then suddenly turned around. "Harry!" They said and then ran forward.
"Well duh!" He said.
Ron looked confused.
"I got it from Percy here," He said pointing at me with his thumb over his back, Ron still looked confused "He's American."
"Ooooh." He said. Then the bushy haired girl I think was named Hermione suddenly noticed me and my friends who were currently looking at them waiting to be noticed.
"Who are you?" She asked suspiciously.
" Finally," I said "Well I'm Percy, that's Ni- ouch!" Annabeth had punched my arm really hard.
"What was that for?" I asked.
She whispered into my ear, "We don't know if they're friends or foes Percy! We can't just fling our names around!"
"Oh yeah… But they're here for Harry and he's a good guy, they can't be so bad," I said
"Fine, but if they try to kill us I'm blaming you." Oh wow thanks.
"Um well yeah, I'm Percy, this is Nico, and that's Annabeth," I saw Ronald look at Annabeth with googley eyes, so I cleared my throat and added in a tougher voice "My girlfriend, and then Grover," I glared pointedly at Ronald (Ronald McDonald!) and then turned back to Annabeth.
"Oh and um, Annabeth? Can I tell them? That little secret?" I asked. Hey if we were going to get out of here they had to know so that I could use my powers if necessary.
"Percy, you know that if you do I'm going to-" But then she stopped when we heard Harry talking to his friends.
"And you know what's cool? He's a demigod!" Harry said. Oh no. Not. Good.
"NO!" Grover said, " I mean, psh! Demigods? They're like myths right?"
"Smooth Grover, smooth," I said shaking my head, in times like these it would be better if Grover had duct tape on his goat mouth.
"Well, I wasn't expecting a rescue party but the more the people more the fun right?" Said the familiar, terrifying voice.
