I woke up in a dark room. My eyes quickly adjusted to the light, and I saw the room was a triangle with one rounded side. I sat up, not knowing where I was. Everything came back to me and I remembered standing next to Thalia's tree, then the next thing I woke up here. I examined myself; I had no severe wounds, and then began to think. I could feel a small pain in my head, and concluded I had been knocked out. I fell back asleep, hoping to wake up in a different place maybe I would be in the infirmary with Percy standing over me. Don't think that Annabeth, you'll just ruin your friendship, a better relationship will come on its own. I fell asleep dreaming of the labyrinth, when I had first kissed my seaweed brain. (It was still a kiss so it counts.) Sweet dreams, I thought.
After a few hours I woke up, but didn't want to open my eyes. If I was still in that room, I thought I would scream.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" I cried frustratingly. I looked around the room and saw something new in a corner. I walked over and there was a plate of food. I didn't know if it was poison, but I hadn't eaten since breakfast the previous day and I was starving. I quickly gobbled up the meal, it was meager compared to my appetite, but it would do. I lifted up the plate and saw a note.
No one will ever find you, and Percy won't even realize you're gone. Seaweed brain doesn't even like you, he puts up with you as he feels bad about you having no friends since Thalia joined the hunters. Hope you like my present.
-Red
Present? What present? Who is red? Just then an army of spiders came towards me climbing down webs on one side of the room. These spiders were just small, so I easily walked all over them. Ha to easy, you'll have to do better, I thought. My capturer obviously knew what I was thinking, because just then a massive wolf spider and a tarantula came to face me. They were hideous, fangs from their mouths reached the floor, and they had so much hair. I concentrated. I couldn't just call Percy and ask for him to help me. I sat on the ground thinking of a battle strategy, the spiders seemed friendly unless I hurt them. I watched the corner, and a note fell to the ground.
You have one wish write it on this note, and then it will come true.
-Red
When I finished reading the note a pencil appeared next to it. I sat back down and started to strategize. If I hurt one spider, the other would attack me, and I only had one dagger. I would wish for a knife or sword, so I could hit them both at the same time. I started to feel nauseated, and unwillingly fell asleep. Hunger was overcoming my body, and my stomached growled loudly. I went to sleep trying to make the pain go away.
Opening my eyes I looked straight up to see the spiders standing over me, venom and slobber dripping from their mouths. I ran over to the note and started writing.
I wish for a knife.
-Ac
I put the pencil down and dodged a knife falling from the room ceiling. Another knife fell down, and almost hit me again, and then they started falling from everywhere. One hit a 'happy' spider, and then they started attacking me. I reached in my boot for my dagger, which I had put there not wanting it to disturb me in my sleep. I took it out, and then it started disappearing from my grasp. Running in circles, I thought of a new plan. I was going to try not to die. I know, it was a simple plan, but proved good.
I ran around for hours, spiders and knives in my wake. I saw a note reappear on the floor.
Be careful what you wish for, cuz you just might get it...
Really was now the time to quote the pussycat dolls...
...Did you really think it would be that easy, I overestimated you Ms. Chase. I thought you knew never to trust anyone, not even your closest friends.
-Red
...Why would the note say not to trust my closest friends? I started running again, but there was a sharp pain on my heel. I ran through the pain urging it to stop, in my pocket there was a bottle of nectar, but there was only one drop left. I made myself keep running, my eyesight was blurry, and there were tears in my eyes. I made one final attempt and fell to the ground.
The opposite side of the cave grew transparent, and I saw Percy through the wall. He turned around and I thought he was coming to save me. I then realized someone else was with him, I pleaded that it was Thalia, but it wasn't. Right before I blacked out I saw the most heart-breaking thing. Percy was kissing a girl with red hair and green eyes. Why didn't I realize who Red was before? I was going to seriously hurt...
Sorry this is so short! I hope you will forgive me!
