Hey guys sorry about the wait it's been a while I know things have just been hectic, I'm always working during the week and on weekends I have events I must attend and then I have my assignments but I'm still sorry about the wait, none of my stories are abandoned.

I would like to thank everyone who reviewed they made my day.

I in no way own PJatO or HoO

When you wake up in a van, plopped up in between two gorgons you know you had a bad night. Sadly the night still seemed to be a blur to the demigod who could not feel his wrists or ankles which he was sure was bound tightly, he lopped his neck around the other side as a numb feeling settled over him. The Gorgon to his right simply chuckled to herself in a dark and manacle way. Until know Percy was pretty certain you couldn't chuckle darkly but perhaps it was one of those things you had to witness first.

He couldn't tell which Gorgon it was as all he could see were giant blurs, but he defiantly knew it was them from the way they spoke and the sound of the snakes and of course the way one of them kept offering him cheese 'n' wieners.

It wasn't long until Percy had been whisked off into a large building when the feeling in his arms and legs started to return, unfortunately his head still felt like a bowling ball on a 30 centimetre ruler. There was one on each side and they surprisingly had a lot of muscle and were able to lift him, unfortunately his legs were currently being dragged across the ground leaving large rocks to dig into his bare flesh.

He would have winced in pain but to be honest he really didn't want to give them the satisfaction. The images were still blurry but he could hear things. He knew the two gorgons where on either side of him and he was pretty sure that up a head was a Cyclops by the way it grunted and to his far left there was at least three hell hounds they were easy to hear with their howls and the sound of their panting as they wrestled, he figured he was at some kind of operations base, or at least a training facility.

Either way he was sure he wouldn't be able to get out of this one.

They dragged him inside the warehouse where Percy immediately felt the temperature change which was weird for him.

Slowly they walked deeper into the warehouse no one bothering to talk to the young demigod, only to grunt or even downright laugh at him. On the outside Percy looked almost as if he was dead but on the inside he felt his insides squirm with anger and frustration. What he wouldn't give to kill every monster in this room.

Luckily for him they didn't really know that riptide was in his pocket, sure they did the usual surprise attack, injure and dump the heroes weapon but Percy could still feel the weight of it in his pocket. For him it was calming, he always had a feeling of being in control and when he was near the water well then he felt like he could take on the world.

They walked deeper and deeper into the warehouse, the feeling in his neck started to come back and he was able to move his head around a little he lolled it to the side to have a large jarring pain on the side of his head.

They walked closer into the warehouse where he was given to a Cyclops, the Cyclops picked him up and carried him the rest of the in a bridal style which was like a rest for his saw ankles but his nose was another story the stench invaded his nostrils causing the demigod to dry reach a few times. The words that would explain the smell would be sheep, manure and in a disturbing way chocolate. The Cyclops literally dropped him onto the cold hard floor.

"Watch it ugly." He muttered he was surprised that his mouth moved with what he was thinking. That was enough for the Cyclops to turn around and with a loud CRACK! Percy went flying hitting into the back of the room the thud caused Percy to slump against the wall.

Percy was left to lay on the cold floor for what seemed like hours, he didn't mind much he was too busy trying to remember how he got in this mess.

He remembered being chased by a mountain lion, then he evaded a trap set up by Hephaestus which the word hard could not do it justice, then he was setting up camp behind a large tree then he woke up with his head on a gorgons arm.

It was not one of his best moments, especially when she hissed something about him drooling on his arm. Percy was sure he would have blushed if he hadn't been so nervous and scared. But know he was here he kind of didn't care.

With a loud groaning the door to his tiny cell opened revealing an angry looking Cyclops, he glared at Percy for a moment until Percy realized who it was, a smile broke out on his lips but it wasn't warm.

"Why hello there, ugly." Percy greeted standing on his wobbly legs. The Cyclops snarled at him and took a menacing step forward Percy had to use all his strength not to flinch.

"Jimmy, you know our orders." Percy peered behind the Cyclops and came face to face with the young goddess Khione. Percy smiled in delight normally he wouldn't but he enjoyed getting her all worked up.

"Our orders?" Percy questioned staring at the goddess. "What have you been demoted?" he questioned taking a step forward only to have the shackle on his wrist to pull against a wall. The scary part was he never knew he had a shackle.

Khione snarled menacingly and Percy flinched. "You would know about demoting wouldn't you?" Percy glared back at her and was pleased when he saw her inch back.

"What do you want from me?" Percy snarled watching her closely; she smiled back at him in a way that scared Percy.

"I want to see you before you become a mindless drone of Gaeas ." she shrugged her dainty shoulders as if she told him what she had for lunch but he could see it in her eyes, the joy that hid behind them.

Percy sat there stunned for a moment he wasn't very articulate, that was usually Annabeth's job. Khione looked at his stunned silence with a mixture of joy and excitement deep down she too liked getting him worked up.

"Oh so the great hero of Olympus is silent, what would your gods think of you know?" she laughed, Jimmy the Cyclops also chuckled along, Percy was tempted to tell him to respect their fathers favourite son but that wouldn't go down to well.

"You know Ice queen." Khione glared at Percy for a slight moment and Percy inwardly cheered. "Last time I checked you were a god."

That was enough for the snow goddess, just as she took a step forward with her fist raised, Percy's least favourite monster walked in.

"Khione, remember your orders." She hissed as she slipped into the room. Khione froze half between looking back at Medusa and glaring at Percy.

"You're Orders?" Percy frowned in mock thought, "hang on wouldn't that mean that Medusa is your boss?" Percy looked across at the snow goddess a smile on his lips.

"Shut it sea brat. They may be her orders but they don't have to be mine." Medusa hissed, but Percy could see the humour and joy she had at seeing Khione uncomfortable.

Percy had read enough myths to know that both of these women had once had a thing for his father, he only hoped his father didn't brake Khione's heart, if he didn't Percy was safe if he did then let's just say Percy would be in serious trouble.

"No actually I remember the day you took me form that school." Percy placed a finger on his chin and looked down in mock thought. "What did you say? That's right you said something about not hurting my face." Percy smiled triumphantly, while Medusa chuckled.

"Not only was I known for my hair but I was also known for my memory and I never said that. You did." Medusa crossed her arms over her chest, Percy couldn't see her eyes but he knew she was pleased.

"No but you implied it." Percy smiled leaning against the wall. His leg wrapped around the other.

Medusa snarled and abruptly turned around leaving the room. Her hair hissing as she walked.

"Gaea will be here soon, until then enjoy your freedom." Khione smiled menacingly and left the room, Jimmy following her.

Percy frowned and slumped against the wall. There was no way he was going to get out of this one.

Hours passed and before he knew it Percy was being whisked away by three empousas unlike Cyclops and giants, Empousas were harder to escape from mostly because there was something about them that made you want to stay with them, well until you realised they were creepy one donkey legged pale women things with red eyes, that was when you wanted to run.

The moved Percy past doors filled with monsters discussing battle strategies, godlings being interrogated for information, demigods sharpening weapons. Pretty much everything Percy feared.

They continued walking until they reached a large room, where Percy was literally thrown onto the floor in a kneeling position.

Percy looked up to see Medusa standing next to an empty throne on the other side stood Khione who was still glaring at the son of Poseidon.

"What is she too important for me?" Percy chuckled; if he was going down he wanted to do so with a bang.

Medusa nodded her head upwards in a small 'sup' movement, but Percy knew it wasn't a greeting more of an order. He barely had time to prepare himself for the pain that stung him on his back, he let out a slight groan but it was enough to make the two start too smile.

Percy knew he had been whipped, he also knew he didn't want it to happen again.

"Please" Percy looked up at Medusa with a wide grin "I'm not into that kind of thing." Percy was certain he saw a slight grin set across her face before she made the gesture again, but Percy was prepared for the pain.

This time he didn't groan or show any sign of pain.

The ground started to shake then like an earthquake, and up before the throne sat Gaea standing next to the spire.

She smiled warmly at Percy which scared him. Her dark brown eyes sometimes changing to the light green he found in his own eyes.

"Welcome." She greeted her arms extended wide almost as if she was trying to pull him into a hug from the distance. "To your new home."

"No offense lady but, for the past few years I have been fine without having a home."

Gaea chuckled and sat on her throne using the spire she created as a foot rest. "So I have heard."

Percy sat up on his knees, he was tempted to grab riptide from his pocket and charge her with it. He knew he couldn't kill her, but he could harm her and riptide was practically itching to be used.

"What do you want with me?" Percy asked his fingers inching closer to his pocket where riptide lay, for something with such high security they forgot something so small, yet deadly.

"To control you." She stated, she looked up at Medusa and waved her hand, Medusa simply nodded her head and gestured for the others to follow, they all moved silently and not before long Percy was left alone with the Primordial.

"No offense but how are you going to do that? You know what my flaw is, there is no way I could join you." His hand reached inside his pocket, his fingers clasping around the pen, he was ready emotionally, mentally and physically ready. He was going to fight his way out of here.

"The only way I can control your flaw." She looked at Percy with a gleam in her eyes. "You're going to be my bride-groom."

Percy went blank and for a moment only one word ran through his mind.

Artemis

This would kill her and that was going to kill him.

And knowing Gaea she would probably force him to kill them, he would have to kill his father, his friends his... love.

"Oh and are you looking for this?" Percy looked up from his stunned state towards Gaea; in her hands was a shiny pen. Not just any pen but riptide.

Percy pulled his hand out of his empty pocket and for the first time since he left his dead mother, he cried.

Yeah that kind of sucked sorry. =)
