I'm back! Sorry if this took forever. I had it written I just kept forgetting to get on and publish. Oh well, hope you enjoy.

I do not own Percy Jackson or any other characters of Rick Riordan's stories, Rick Riordan does.


Kidnapped Weekend

Fears

Percy POV

I was falling. Endless falling, Annabeth screaming, and the voices of Tartarus taunting me. Drowning in my sorrow and misery. Cut by glass and fire surging through my veins. Poisoned air and constant monsters. A woman and death and painful, bloody memories. Blood, illness, Bob and Damasen risking their lives, and Annabeth saying her last words. Poison, pain and sorrow, blood. It begins to bubble on my face and drips down my throat and neck. I choke, the poison air making it harder, Annabeth calling me.

I gasp, rousing from my nightmare. My face feels wet and the small of my back tingles. My vision is blurry and I try to sit up only to find out that my hands are tied behind my back. I lick some of the water off my face to help my dry throat only to cough as it bubbles like soda and tastes disgusting.

"Seaweed Brain!" I hear Annabeth cry and she hugs me.

"I would hug you back Wise Girl but it seems I'm tied up at the moment. Where are we?" I said. Annabeth lets go and I make out the outline of her face in the dim light and blurriness of my vision which is quickly fading.

"At a base somewhere. I don't know." Annabeth huffs. Annabeth has her arms crossed and her backpack is open and besides her.

I grin. "You hate not knowing. What happened? I remember we were talking and it turned black…"

Annabeth lowers her face. At least I can't see her face anymore so I'm guessing that's what she did. "We were captured Seaweed Brain. They knocked you out and I was the only one fighting them. One of them disarmed me and then we ended up here. This stinky, dirty cell."

I nodded and tried to adjust to be able to actually see my surroundings. A rock scraped the small of my back and I winced. Volts of electricity shot through my veins and I gasped at the pain.

"You okay?" Annabeth asked me.

"Wh-what did they knock me out with?" I asked getting my breath back. Annabeth shook her head.

"I don't know. I think there was a slight buzzing or crackling sound but I can't remember properly."

"Electricity. They shocked you with enough to knock you out but not kill you." Annabeth and I snapped our heads to the cell door where two men stood. One was tall and standing proudly the other was cowering behind him.

"Who are you and what do you want with us?" I questioned glaring at the taller one who had to be the leader.

"Names come in time my friends. As for what I want…" The man pulled out two envelopes. "I've sent ransoms to your Camp and to Olympus. It tells of your descriptions and how much money we want for you two demigods. But what we need from you are your mortal home addresses to send this to your mortal parent as well."

I was shaking in anger. All he wanted was money. Wait a second how did he know we were demigods?

"How do you know about us being demigods?" Annabeth voiced my question.

The man chuckled. "Your scent of course. Probably been sent on a few quests as well right? Plus the only mortals on a beach that close to Camp Half-Blood would be really lost delivery guys so it didn't take much thought. Now for your godly parent…" The man trailed off in thought.

I gritted my teeth and glared at the man. Annabeth ran her hand over her backpack and it made a slight noise. The tall man's eyes searched our cell and landed on Annabeth's backpack. He growled and turned to the cowering guy behind him.

"Why is that pack in there Evan?" The cowering man, Evan, opened and closed his mouth like he was trying to explain. The tall man snapped his fingers.

"Girl s-said he w-was going to b-be sick. Looking f-for ambrosia or n-nectar. N-nothing dangerous i-in there." Evan stuttered.

The tall man sighed. "Whatever you useless half telekhine. This girl could have been tricking you so be-"

"Half Telekhine?" I asked, half choking. The tall man's eyes blazed like a yellow fire. He narrowed his eyes and smirked.

"Why yes, young demigod. Why do you sound so surprised?" Annabeth gaped and stared at the two men, obviously analyzing them.

"Sir Sol-" The tall man snapped his fingers again and Evan went silent.

"Now I have the perfect idea for finding your godly parents. Your fears!" The man cackled at our discomfort. "Every god or goddess has a fear that is passed on to their children. Let's see yours. Evan, go get Marcus and take these two to the main room." The two men left us and Annabeth gulped loudly.

"He's going to find out Seaweed Brain. He's going to find my fear immediately." Annabeth was trembling. "Whatever you do don't let him know your parent. If he does you might be stuck here forever if he wants power."

"I'm guessing we'll call each other by our nicknames because if they know about demigods…" Annabeth nodded.

"They'll probably know all the famous heroes." We locked eyes. This was going to be extremely hard to escape and we barely knew how long we had been here. IMing was out of the question since it would give off my powers and I doubt our captors would allow it anyway. The door creaked open and a man with two colored eyes came in with Evan close behind. Wow, my luck really is the most rotten.

The two colored eyed one pointed to me then to him and Evan nodded, scurrying over to Annabeth. The other came towards me and kicked me. He motioned for me to get up which, by the way, is very hard with tied hands. He got impatient and threw me over his shoulder. I cringed when his hand or arm brushed against the small of my back. It must've been where they electrocuted me.

The man dropped me on my bottom and against the wall so I was sitting in an upright position and I crisscrossed my legs. Annabeth was pretty in the same position only with her knees up to her chest and she was holding my arm. Then the leader came in to view.

"Now let's see… Cliffs, falling, bad makeup day, clowns… Spiders?" The leader started rambling his questions off raising his eyebrow for a reaction at spiders.

Annabeth gripped my arm tighter which didn't help that the rope around my wrists was tight enough already. I gritted my teeth trying not to show her fear.

"Hmm… Scolding, fire, underground, Cyclops… claustrophobia, drowning, suffocation… Prophecies…"

I tensed at the last four knowing those were my fears, which is kind of silly seeing as I can't drown and small spaces are more annoying. But seeing the leader smirk just the tiniest bit was a little creepy like he knew exactly which of the four were most plausibly with all that he knew about me.

"Seaweed Brain, you okay?" Annabeth whispered. I forgot she was clutching my arm and most likely felt me get tense.

"Yeah Wise Girl. I'm fine." I looked at her eyes. They were defiantly stormy grey, like a dark gray cloud rolling in.

When we heard his decision, Annabeth cut off my circulation to my wrist and I glared.

"Well then, drowning and spiders it is then."
