The look on her face was priceless, a mixture of shock, disbelief and curiosity. He grinned in return and took off his sunglasses. She took a look at him and he could tell by her blank stare that she couldn't remember a thing

"Nope nothing" She said confirming his suspicions

"You sure? Not one thing? Oh well, that's too bad. It was nice to see you again Annabeth. Knock her out"

Nico appeared behind her and slammed the hilt of his knife into the back of her head. Annabeth eyes rolled to the back of her head and she slumped into Nico's arms. Percy looked at him and he shrugged

"You know, you could have used the Chloroform. That's going to leave a nasty mark" Percy remarked examining the back of her head.

"I know but that was more fun."

Percy rolled his eyes and motioned to the car. The Stolls melted out of the shadows, picked her up and carried her into it. They nodded silently and slinked away. Percy opened the driver's door, sank into the seat and revved the engine.

As he drove along the familiar road to his old school, he thought about the girl in the back seat. Once upon a time, they were best friends, if you thought Percy, you couldn't forget Annabeth. Then she'd had to move to San Francisco. As much as he missed her he got along fine without her. He had his cousins, his best friend and his little brother

Then his dad died. He had to take over the "business".

He drove along the familiar road and stopped in front of his old high school, Goode high. He stopped in front of the door and turned to his gang. With a series of motions they picked Annabeth up and brought her inside. He felt weird stationed here. High school, where first kisses and school dances were and where he ruled. He still ruled, just in different way.

They went into the main building and into the janitor's closet. There behind the shelves were doors. A flick of a hidden switch and the shelves moved aside. They knocked on the door and it opened revealing a girl about 20 with dark raven hair and intelligent green eyes.

"Hello sir" the girl said

"Ann, you're my sister, how many times do I have to tell you? Use my name."

"Fine Perce"

She opened the door to let them in.

APOV

Annabeth woke up with a painful throbbing in the back of her head. She sat up groggily and looked at the bed stand and saw some aspirin and water. At first she was suspicious but then the pain became too much so she took a couple and started to feel better.

She looked around the room. It was fairly big, furnished with a king sized bed, an ornate desk, a couch, a vanity, lamp stand, closet, dresser and a bookshelf filled top to bottom with books. A door on the left side of the room probably led to the bathroom.

The door opened and a girl about her age peeked in. She was pretty, dark mocha brown curls framed her heart shaped face and sharp brown eyes that twinkled in the dim light. She stepped into the room

"Hi I'm Reyna" she said "Welcome. How do you like your room?"

Annabeth looked at her warily "It's great. Could use some color though"

"Too bad. Even employees can't paint. Get changed and I'll take you down to the kitchen. New clothes are in the closet and dresser, toiletries and makeup in the bathroom and I'll be standing outside. Come out when you're ready."

As promised there were clothes in the dresser. She chose a plain black t shirt and some dark jeans and walked into the bathroom. There she took a shower did her makeup and walked out. Reyna was waiting for her outside. She saw Annabeth, looked her up and down, grinned and started walking." A few ground rules, well, there aren't any really, you can go anywhere in the premises except upstairs."

"What's upstairs?"

"Don't know, don't care"

"Oh"

They walked to the end of the hall and Reyna opened the door and they stepped into the kitchen. Reyna walked toward one of the people in the room and tapped him on the shoulder. He turned around and looked at her with contempt and was about to then back around until he saw Annabeth. He pointed to her, made a series of motions and looked at Reyna.

"This is Travis he is the combat master and also the best chef anyone could have." He smiled at Reyna and looked at Annabeth." He doesn't talk much" Reyna whispered to her.

"Hello" Annabeth said

He gave Annabeth a small smile and went back to the pot. About two stirs later, he ladled some of what he was cooking into two small bowls. She grabbed the spoon and took a sip. This was some of the best soup she had ever tasted and downed the bowl in a few seconds. As she put the bowl down she saw the others grinning at her. As Travis filled the bowl again, Reyna looked at her and chuckled

"You ma'am, are the first female prisoner who ate more than three spoonful's of his world's famous soup"

"Really? I wasn't the only prisoner?"

"Yeah, all the others cared too much about their weight. 'oh no i'm too fat' 'how many carbs are in this?' blah blah blah."

"Right"

"Let's go."

On the way to the office, Reyna took her on a tour. Reyna led her around the base and to door at the end of a hall. Reyna knocked twice and waited. A murmur was heard and the door swung open to reveal a darkened room. They stepped inside and stood there waiting for something to happen.

The lights flickered on and in the center of the room there stood a desk in which the man who brought her here sat at. When he saw them he gave them both a sinister smile and looked at Reyna. She gave him a two fingered salute and turned to leave. Before she could, the Man's hand flicked out at her. A dagger whizzed by and somehow Reyna managed to turn and catch it by the hilt.

"You have improved"

"Thanks, and next time when you plan to take my knife, tell me and ask nicely"

"If i did you would say no. "

"I know but still it wouldn't hurt to ask."

He sighed and watched Reyna as she walked out of the room. He watched as she left and as soon as she was out of sight he turned to face her.

"Well Annabeth, we seem to have a lot to talk about"
