So I felt bad about not updating, so here's another chapter. It's Percy! :)
Percy felt frustrated and discouraged as he entered Starbucks. Rachel had been driving him crazy all day on their search. They had made zero progress. It was beginning to seem hopeless. He ordered a coffee. The girl who worked their, recognized him. Her name was Cindy and she had always thought that he and his girlfriend were really cute together. She had always given them extra cream and drawn a heart by their names of the cup. But this time, what was his name, Peter? No, Percy. He was alone and had a broken expression o his face. He was usually had that blonde girl, Annabeth with him. Cindy have him his double mocha chocolate frappechino with extra cream. She also gave him a free snowman cookie, feeling sad if they had broken up.
Percy swirled his straw around, not really enjoying the drink. Suddenly, a beautiful girl walked into the store. She had wavy blonde hair and stunning blue eyes. She looked tired and frustrated. She got a coffee and sat down at the table opposite Percy. He didn't pay much attention to each her. The girl kept looking at Percy though. She seemed confused. Maybe she thought he was someone else. Then the girl approached him and sat down at his table, much to Percy's astonishment. She looked at him. Percy had no idea why this random girl had just sat down at the table. Did he know her? No. This was weird. "Um, hi, can I help you?" He asked her. The girl hesitated. "Percy?" She asked. Wait. She knew his name?. This was creepy. She leaned in. "I know who and what you are. I know where your girlfriend is." She whispered to him. "What?! Where? Who are you?" Percy was shocked. "My name is Caroline. You won't believe me if I tell you, so it's better if I show you." Percy narrowed his eyes. "How am I supposed to trust you? For all I know, you're the one who kidnapped her!" Even though it was perfectly clear that this was not the girl from the tape. "You have no choice. I've been looking after Annabeth for two weeks. I'm not the one who took her. The reason we haven't let her go is because the others think she might be a threat. We've never heard of your...species...until, well, today." Caroline explained. Percy couldn't believe it. He didn't understand. "I saw a security tape of the night Annabeth was taken. Some creep attacked her. They were..." He couldn't say it. Caroline looked taken aback. "How many others know?" She hissed. "Know what? Three of my friends." Percy was getting angry. If this girl really did know where Annabeth was then she better take him there soon. "So what kind of monsters are they? Empousai?" Caroline shook her head and have Percy a long look. "We're not from your world, son of the sea god. You've never fought us before. And that bronze sword in your pocket will do nothing for you against us." Percy was shocked. How did she know all this? She had said "we" not "they". "Release Annabeth! I don't know what you are but you better let her go!"
"Lower your voice! If they found out I was talking to you...ugh, fine ill explain. I'm a vampire. My friends ran into Annabeth in the wrong place at the wrong time. They were hunting. But after they had tasted her blood, they knew she was different. Her blood had gold flecks in it. They took her back home, and kept her there. She couldnt be compelled, which is a power vampires have. It was too dangerous to let her go until we found out why she was like this. We eventually did, with the help of a witch. They know everything. If they find you, they'll take you too." Percy was horrified. Annabeth had been in the hands of vampires for the past two weeks. Vampires that killed people. How had this happened? "So what's your deal? Why haven't you taken me back to your little evil cult?" Caroline looked at him. "I don't believe in what they're doing. I wouldnhave let her go myself, but the witch places a spell on the house that prevents her from leaving. But I also think they've made the problem worse, the way they're treating her." Percy felt awful. "How...have they been treating her? Is she okay?" He was terrified for the answer. But Caroline smiled. "She's a fighter. She doesn't just do what we tell her. She stands up for herself. But..." She trailed off. "But what?" Percy pressed. Caroline looked at the ground. "Lets just say It's not easy being the only human in a house full of vampires." They were both silent for a minute. "Caroline. You don't seem like a bad person. You have to help me get her out of there. She'll die. It's not right. She doesn't deserve this." Caroline sighed. "I know. I've seen what you've been through. And that's why I'm going to help you."
