Chapter 17: Kidnapped II

Annabeth's POV

I opened my eyes. Ugh my head hurts so much. I feel like it got hit by a car about a thousand times and then they stepped on it a billion times. Wait where am I? I looked around, it was dark. I tried to move, but I was tied to a chair. It felt as a mega-heavy metal chair. I can't remember anything! Ugh memory! Come on!

Small flashback's came back to my mind. Oh my Gods! I was kidnapped! I heard footsteps heading towards me, a small light turned on. My blurry vision started to clear up. Luke.

"Luke..." I growled.

"Well hello to you too Annie" he said smiling evilly.

I tried to struggle out of the rope but it was useless.

"Let me go! I won't join your side!" I growled furiously.

"Oh I know you won't join me" he said walking around me.

"Then why did you kidnap me?" I asked glaring at him.

"Well i'm using you more as bait" he said.

"What do you mean?" I asked confused.

"Well, once your little friends figure your here, they will come running to save you, little do they know this room is impossible to escape once it's locked, if your little friends come to save you, and they get somehow locked in here. That means they won't get out. And the school is free of protection" he said smirking at me.

That was actually a brilliant and disgusting plan.

"You won't succeed" I said angrily and glared at him once more.

"Oh Annie, save that glare for another time, you don't scare me" he said grabbing my chin and smiling. I struggled out of his hands furiously. He smiled and sat on a chair that was next to a door. He looked at his wristwatch.

"It seems it's almost time for your little friends to come running to save you" he said and smiled. He pressed some kind of control and my chair lifted into the air over a medium-sized creek of water. What in Tartarus?

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"Well this will buy them some time, oh I almost forgot my little friends" he said and pressed another button. Millions of mechanical spiders came out of the wholes from the room. My eyes widened. I screamed so loud I wouldn't be impressed if China heard me. I closed my eyes bloody-screaming trying to stop my lungs. It was useless I was paralyzed. I was frozen in time screaming like a crazy woman.

I could feel their little legs crawl over my body. That only brought me even more terror. I heard the door open.

"Annabeth!" I heard a voice similar to Thalia's scream. I managed to open my eyes but I couldn't stop myself from screaming. The whole demigod squad, plus a few mortals, were coming in. Luke was completely gone.

"Percy the water!" I heard Katie scream.

"I'm trying but it must be enchanted cause I can't control it!" he screamed. I tried to warn them about Luke but all that came out was 'AHH! LU-AHH! CARE-AHHH! FUL-AHHH!'. If they understood, they must have thought it was a joke because no one got the clue.

I was still screaming, I could now feel the spiders almost too my face.

"The spiders! Cut the rope!" Piper exclaimed. Cut the rope? I heard a swift sound and felt myself, well my chair, fall about meters down. I felt water up to me before the chair sank, bringing me into it. I couldn't breath, water started to fill and burn through my lungs. I heard a huge splash sound. I felt my self blacking out. Don't black out... don't do it! I tried to untie my grip from the chair but it was useless.

I saw a human figure swim towards me. Percy! He came towards me and untied the rope, grabbed me, then swam upwards. I finally felt the fresh air on me. I coughed up water once we got to land, or the room. I finally coughed up everything and cleared my lungs.

"Luke!" I screamed.

"Annabeth it's alright your okay now!" Piper said giving me a hug.

"No you don't understand! It was a trick!" I yelled, they looked at me like crazy. "He made you guys come in here! The room is enchanted once it's locked you can't come out!"

"What!?" Katie yelled and ran towards the door. She tried to pull it open but it was impossible. "It's locked!"

"Nico can you shadow-travel?" Percy asked.

"No something seems to be blocking my power, maybe the same force that blocked you from using the water?" he asked. I felt myself getting dizzy. I coughed up more water. Too much water...

"Annabeth?" Thalia asked. The last thing I heard before everything went black was a scream, I think it said Annabeth?

I opened my eyes. Everyone seemed to be discussing. I stood up the chair I was laying on. My head suddenly felt cracked. I tried to say 'What's up?' instead it came out as 'OWWW!'.

"Annabeth you alright?" Percy said leaning into the chair?

"I think" I said grabbing my head. I was suddenly freezing.

"Did the temperature just come down to zero degrees?" Sidney asked hugging herself.

What made the cold worse was that I was soaking wet.

"It's-freezing..." I said trembling.

"Percy can you dry Annabeth she can get a cold" Piper asked.

"I tried but my power is still blocked. I could barely breath underwater" he said.

"It's-alright..." I said hugging myself.

"Okay it's way too cold in here, who knows how long we will have to stay" Grover said.

"It may be the whole night until someone finds us... we will have to try and stay warm" Percy said. "Does everyone have a jacket or sweater?"

They all nodded.

"What about you and Annabeth, your both soaking wet?" Jason added. Good point.

"Here I have an extra sweater, Annabeth take of your shirt and put this on" Katie said handing me a sweater.

"Thanks but what about Percy?" I asked.

"I have a hoodie!" Grover added and took off a hoodie from under his jacket, he gave it to Percy.

10:30 PM according to Grover's watch

After we changed we started to discuss an escape plan.

"What if we try and break the door?" Travis asked.

"The door is made of steel, dufus" Katie said in an irritated voice.

"We have no choice but to wait till morning, that's when everyone will come to school, meaning we can scream for help and see if they can unlock the door from the outside" I said.

"Annabeth's right that is the best plan" Thalia said.

"But for now everyone needs some rest" Percy added. Everyone got comfortable.

After a few minutes everyone was snoring. Piper and Jason were sleeping in each other's arms, including Katie and Travis, and Silena and Beckendorf. I couldn't help but notice they looked so cute together. I couldn't sleep at all. Every time I tried to close my eyes I thought a spider was going to come out of the water and attack me.

I sat up and put my head in between my knees.

"Can't sleep?" Percy asked as he sat next to me. I looked at his deep-ocean green eyes.

"No" I said and looked down.

"Don't worry the spiders are death" he said. It's like he read my mind.

"You promise?" I asked looking at him. He gave me a warm smile and put his arm around my shoulder.

"I promise. Now rest, you need it" he said. I rested my head in his chest and closed my eyes. I could feel his heart beat. It was a matter of seconds before I fell into a deep sleep.
