Kidnapped Weekend

Chapter2:Taken

Annabeth POV

What do you do when your boyfriend stops talking all of a sudden and falls on top of you unconscious? Whisper his name and pull out a dangerous weapon of course. Oh and throw warm carbonated water on his face too but that comes up later.

Whoa, sorry let me backtrack.

Here we were, Percy and I, walking and talking about the good times before the Giant War planning on staying at the beach for the weekend. I remember hearing a really quiet buzzing or crackling sound but I shook it off since Percy hadn't noticed. Then Percy had stopped right before he was going to say something and he had started to fall.

"Seaweed Brain? Hey Seaweed Brain you okay?" I asked him worry in my tone. Then he landed on top of me. Thankfully we hit a soft pile of sand and my backpack supported us.

"Percy? Percy?!" My voice was getting was getting shriller.

Calm down Annabeth, You're no good to Seaweed Brain if you're panicked. I tried to push him off but Percy was heavy so I settled for trying to reach my knife while quietly trying to wake him. I finally reached my dagger but it was no use waking Percy. He was out cold. I adjusted so I at least see over Percy's shoulder. My arm with the knife was under him but in a position where if anything attacked I could defend us in a flash. The bushes trembled and voices seemed to be coming from them. I went deathly silent to hear.

"Did you knock him out already Marcus? With such little-" one higher pitch voice whispered.

"I know Evan. I'm seeing it with my own eyes. But we need one more before we go back to base." A more normal voice but scratchy voice hissed. The high pitched one obviously didn't like the answer and started arguing with the other.

I didn't listen to their conversation seeing they were probably going to wait there the whole day. I let go of my dagger and used both hands to push him off gently next to me. I jumped up with my dagger daring and glaring for them to notice me. I wished I had my Yankees cap since the plan I had would have worked so much better with it. But alas it was wrapped in my blanket at Percy's cabin.

"Come out and tell me what you did to my boyfriend. Or I'll come over there and gut you." I threatened.

The bushes trembled vigorously and two men came out. One had the slimmest black hair with small, beady dark brown eyes and dark skin. The other had brown hair and two different colored eyes, one hazel the other green, and tan skin. Great, most likely a manticore.

"Marcus I think we found our second demigod." The slimy black hair, high pitched one said, grinning. Eww, his teeth were a disgusting shade of yellow like he hadn't brushed in a million years.

"Oh shut it Evan. You're impossible." Marcus, the assumed manticore muttered. He then turned to me. "Come with us nicely girl and you and your friend won't get hurt."

"What did you do to him?" I said. I raised my dagger, shining the light reflecting off the celestial bronze into his eyes.

"Argh! Put that down. You could get hurt." Marcus said.

"Try me." I attacked Evan who was going to pick up Percy. I slashed his arm and monster dust mixed with… was that blood? started leaking out.

"AHHHH! Marcus help!" Evan's high pitched voice screamed, clutching his arm before I could get a closer look.

"Stupid girl." Marcus hissed and he shot something. I blocked it with my dagger. KLANG! A needle with some liquid dropped into the sand by my feet. Yep, defiantly manticore.

I kept blocking the needles until I was backed up into a tree. Evan obviously had healed and was tying Percy's hands with a disgusted look. I rolled to the side, dodging another volley of needles, and sprinted towards Percy. I ran into the man resulting in the three of us rolling. I lifted my dagger about to kill Evan when someone or something pulled that arm back behind my back. I tried to twist my wrist to see if I could cut him. The person behind me plucked my dagger out of my hand and chuckled.

"Can't use it now can you?" the scratchy voice of the monster Marcus taunted as he tied my hands together.

"Can we eat now?" Evan whined. My eyes must have grown wide because Evan looked at me and said, "Oh no not half-bloods. That's like cannibalism."

"Evan get the boy and quit whining. Or the boss will cut your tongue." Marcus barked. Evan nodded quickly and threw Percy over his shoulder like a rag doll. Marcus then kicked me and snarled, "Get up girl. Start walking."

I did as told, after a minute of stubbornness and being threatened, but I tried to be as annoying as possible. You know like spouting random facts or insults or pointing out things super fast. I cursed in ancient Greek when Marcus kicked the back of my leg.

"Shut up girl. You'd better do as you're told or your boy here gets severely hurt." I noticed he didn't say killed.

"Let me go. My boyfriend will rip you to pieces if you harm me. Believe me he could send you to your deaths before you could say-" I told him.

"Hand me the gag." Marcus took a piece of cloth and put it in my mouth, tying it tightly.

I tried to yell at him in Ancient Greek but it came out muffled and distorted. I struggled to get my hands free but stop when one of Marcus's needles was pressed against my neck.

"Forward with no more interruptions. Go." I glared but, left with no choice as he had disarmed, tied my hands, and gagged me; I reluctantly went with no interruptions.

I honestly have no idea how long we walked. Minutes, hours, maybe even days because I had no idea what monster Evan was. My tied hands bounced on my backpack like Percy's head on Evan's shoulder. When we stopped it was in front of a rock pile that was enormous. We were in a clearing of dead trees and torn, faded banners (I could've sworn one had MONSTER DONUT on it) but behind us was the forest. The mist must have been hiding this place very well.

"Why are we here?" I asked but came out like this; "Fwhy ar whei her?"

"We're here." Both said at the same time. I shivered but watch closely as pebbles tumbled down. My eyes widened in amazement as the pebbles grew bigger and bigger until finally a stair of boulders replaced the blank clearing before.

Evan climbed the stairs and I followed, getting pushed forward by Marcus. At the top was a cave that disappeared into pitch black darkness. Oh goody, they're going to push us back to Tartarus or in a place with no lights whatsoever. I tried to stop but Marcus pushed me and I fell into the entrance. A big gust of air blew in my face and the next thing I knew I was on the ground. I heard another blast of air then thud as Marcus and Evan landed next to me.

"Welcome to base girly. Now get up so we can put you in your cell." Marcus ordered.

"Um, Marcus, she kind of has her hands tied behind her back…" Evan pointed out. Marcus grumbled and lifted me in the air. I kicked wildly, hoping to get his face but he somehow dodged every one.

"Follow girl." Marcus ordered again and went under an arch heading deeper into the darkness. I followed, Evan behind me with Percy still on his shoulder.

I heard the squeaking of hinges needing oil as Marcus opened a cell door. He took out my dagger and cut my ropes and gag then threw me into the cell.

"Give me back my dagger!" I snapped.

Evan gave me a glare which I didn't expect. Then Marcus lifted me, again, and took off my backpack, throwing it outside the cell. He left the cell and started to close the door.

"No!" I yelled. Marcus gave me a curious stare. I opened my mouth to explain. "Don't put my Seaweed Brain in a different cell. You might have him wake up screaming."

Marcus and Evan looked at each other and nodded. Opening the door only slightly, Evan threw Percy in besides me. I watched as they left and waited until I was sure they were out of earshot.

"Percy…" I whispered. He looked so pained. He was twitching in his unconscious form and he looked like he was having a nightmare. I looked closely for any signs of injuries but didn't see any. What was I going to do with Percy in this state? Wait… ahaha! Perfect!

I waited until Evan or Marcus came back which took a while. Evan had come and brought food. He slid the food under the door and got up staring at me. I locked eyes, challenging him. Then he started to walk away.

"Wait!" I said, scrambling to the door. "Can you please give me my backpack?"

Evan looked at me questionably, debating on what to do.

"It's for him" I pointed to Percy. "He is going to be sick if I don't give him some ambriosa or nectar."

Evan nodded and went to my backpack. He started to rummage through it making a few expressions here and there and maybe blushing?.

"Oh no, you won't find it. I have it hidden in case a mortal were to find my backpack. Just give it to me. I promise that I have no weapons in there." I told Evan honestly. He frowned and for a second I thought he wouldn't believe me. Then he grabbed the handle and found the key to the cell. He unlocked the door cautiously waiting for me to make a move. I didn't. He threw my backpack at my face and locked the cell, walking off.

I waited until he was for sure gone and then rummaged through my backpack. I took out a water bottle and twisted the cap off, taking a sip. Yep, defiantly the water Rachael gave me I confirm as it bubbled down my throat. It tasted disgusting and warm which wasn't a problem since I wouldn't be drinking it. I looked at Percy and dumped the water all over his face.

I shall repeat this from above, Hope you enjoyed and please review!

Oh I should probably tell you all but I won't be updating until I reread the House of Hades which hopefully won't be too long. Sorry I just don't want my info wrong! Hope you understand.
