A/N: Thanks for the reviews!
I just want to point out… Did anybody see that there is another trailer for-IRON MAN? The third one is coming out in May and I am SO excited!
Well, anyways. Wish me luck in my final on Lord of the Flies. Yuck, that book absolutely sucks. This will be about Annabeth getting lost in the Labyrinth.
11. Afraid of the Dark
The spider had led me back to Hephaestus's workshop.
There was just one time when I got lost. I had watched the spider sprung legs and started to scurry off into the dark. This was right after the petrifying scream I heard from Percy. The volcano had erupted, and my tears had exploded as well. I ran until my legs felt like they were on fire. My lungs ached and begged me to stop crying and running at the same time.
I knew I had to catch up with the spider. The Labyrinth changed shapes and types as I ran.
There were times where I watched it scramble in the dim light, but there were times where it was only the sounds of the scuttling and the echoing sobs of my own cracking sobs.
I had just about collapsed but something else did it for me. My shoe caught on something on the floor. I felt my knee scrap on the floor as I tumbled to the floor. I tried to get up but the weight of running for so long kept me down.
I hugged my knees and looked down the hallway I was in. It was like a sewer tunnel with an inch of water at the bottom. The right side of me was soaked and I took a deep shaky breath in. The scuttling noise of spider had disappeared and I knew then and there I was going to die.
I heard something clunk down the hallway and my stomach dropped. I didn't make a noise. Suddenly, in the dark, all alone, I felt empty. I crawled to the side of the tunnel and shivered in the darkness.
The only thing running through my mind was the sound of Percy. I sat in the water and wished I had someone with me.
I was afraid of what was going to come in the dark and get me. The fear was crawling in my throat and I felt like screaming. I couldn't fight something off by myself. All I needed was someone with me.
Then the small glint of scurrying light in the end of the tunnel guided me to Hephaestus's workshop and I was back on the spider's trail.
A/N: Thanks so much for the reviews. I just want to say that I went to Homecoming with my boyfriend and it was amazing! I hope everybody had a good weekend and good luck with this Monday. Goodness, I hate Mondays!
