Hey everyone! Happy Valentines Day! This chapter isn't very romantic, but I hope you like it! Percy and Annabeth will be reunited soon! Please follow, favourite and review! Love you guys!
Annabeth had never been so anxious in her life as she waited for the signal that she could leave. She was getting worried, because Jeremy had told her that it would be between 7 and 8:00. It was now 8:30. Annabeth decided to give it another fifteen minutes. Still nothing. Jeremy had given her direct instructions to stay in her room until the signal was sent, for safety reasons. Annabeths room was the only vampire proof room in the house. But by now Annabeth was desperate. She slowly opened her door a crack. All she could see was the hallway. She cautiously stepped out of her room. No movement or sound. Something seemed...off. She walked down the stairs and gasped. Lying in a heap on the floor, were all the vampires, with glazed looks in their eyes. But lying beside them was Jeremy. He had a bad wound in his neck. Annabeth ran to his side and shook him desperately. "Jeremy! Oh my god, wake up! Wake up!" She slapped his face. This was not happening. It was her fault if he was hurt. Suddenly, she heard a voice from behind her. "It was a pretty good plan, actually. It would've worked too, if I hadn't seen Jeremy's face when he walked out of your room. The guy's head over heals for you. The least I could do was put him out of his misery. Wouldn't want to upset boyshorts." Damon gave Annabeth a crooked smile. Annabeth clenched her teeth. "Of course it's you, ruining everything. What's the prize Damon? What do you earn by keeping me here?" Damon was silent for a moment. "I'm not sure. Maybe I think it's unfair that you just get to go and have your happy ending while we have to clean up the mess you made."
"The mess I made? Are you hearing yourself? You're the one who got me in this situation in the first place! And you have no right to tell me what I deserve. You know what I've been through. Even the cruelest of people would admit that me and Percy deserve every bit of happiness that we would get. That we will get."
"Oh ho! You think I'm just going to let you escape? Sorry honey, it doesn't work like that. If klaus or Elijah finds out I let you have the slip, they'll kill me."
But who knows you weren't attacked like the rest of them? Only Jeremy, and he'll keep his mouth shut." Damon regarded her, as if he was thinking about it. He shook his head. They'll chase you down and track you. You'll be running for the rest of your life."
"I'll be safe if I can just get to camp." He tilted his head.
Annabeth have him a desperate look. "Please Damon. This is me, on my knees, begging you to let me go. Please."
"No." He looked at the ground. "I'm sorry." Annabeth clenched her teeth. "Then I'm sorry too." She grabbed her stake that she had made and stabbed him in the chest. Not directly in the heart, but enough to take him out. He looked at her and gasped as he fell to the ground. "Annnabeth...wait..." he reached out to her. She looked at him coldly. "Sorry. Room service wasn't quite up to par. i won't be leaving a tip." His eyes went hazy, and he went unconscious. Annabeth tore out of the house. It was a beautiful evening. She jumped into one of their fancy cars and tore off in it. She was free. She had actually done it! She couldn't believe it! Annabeth blasted the radio as she drove down the highway. That's when she noticed a note on the steering wheel. It said: 42 Livingstone Hotel. Room 198. Good luck. -Jeremy. Annabeth wondered what was there. Maybe some sort of package to help her out? It might be safer just to drive all the way to camp as fast as she could. It was getting dark and she couldn't drive all night. She would have to find a motel on the road to stay. She didn't dare stay somewhere in the city. The vampires were probably already awake. She had a few stops to make first though.
