Hi everyone!

Okay, even though I didnt get 10 reviews...I am going to update this anyway. The man that tortures them is one of Menoitios servants, and I will explain in future chapters who he is :) Review with your guesses!

Annabeth

I woke up with a rag in my mouth. It tasted like oil. (Don't ask how I know what oil tastes like). I looked around. I was strapped to a chair in a darkened room. Across from me was a slumped over figure chained to a wall.

"Percy?" I asked hopefully.

The figure stirred, and lifted their head.

Sure enough, it was Percy. His sea green eyes looked bloodshot. He managed to sit up, but I could tell he was struggling.

"A-Annabeth?" he asked. "Is that you?"

I cried with relief. "Yes Percy, it's me!"

Percy tried to scoot over to me, but his chains weren't long enough. He growled in frustration, and pounded the floor.

"Where are we?" I asked when he was finished.

"I don't know. The last thing I remember was that titan Menoitios knocking us out." He rasped.

I tugged at my bonds. "Well looks like we're stuck here for now."

Percy nodded. He was about to speak again when someone threw open the door, exposing us to blinding light.

"How are our little guests?" the man bellowed.

"We're fine, no thanks to you." Percy said coldly.

The man looked like he was about to hit Percy, but he restrained himself. "You ready for the first show?" he asked.

A shiver ran down my spine. "What show?"

"You'll see." He said crookedly as he walked toward me.

Percy tried to stop him but the man just stayed out of Percy's grasp.

"Who are you?" I asked, fear started to creep into my voice.

"You don't need to know." The man said as he grabbed my hair.

I winced. He saw my expression and chuckled. "Let's go."

Twenty minutes later, the man had me in another room. The walls were lined with wicked swords, and assorted knives. He threw me onto a table, strapped me down, and then chained Percy to a chair.

He then walked over to a whip that was hanging on the other side of the room. Its tip gleamed.

"Celestial bronze." I murmured.

The man turned back toward me, and I realized what he was going to do. Percy must've realized it too, because he started screaming for him to get away from me. The man ignored Percy, and flipped me over so my back was exposed. He strapped me down, and raised the whip.

"NO!" Percy screamed, but it was too late. The man brought the whip down, and it hit my skin with a sickening Crack. I screamed bloody murder. The lash was so painful that I almost blacked out. He gave me another lash, and I screamed again. I glanced at Percy, who was yanking at the chains. His wrists were spilling blood. The man gave me another lash. Around twenty lashes, I blacked out.

Pain, endless pain. I could still feel the sensation of being whipped when I finally woke up. I was on the ground in a different room. Bandages covered the spots where I was whipped. There was a TV in one corner. It was playing what looked like security footage. I scooted over, and watched the screen, trying to figure out what it was of. Then I saw Percy. His lifeless body was lying in a room separate from me. I saw a knife beside him.

"NO!" I screamed. "PERCY NO! YOU CAN'T BE DEAD! WAKE UP!"

I stopped screaming when I saw him stir. He was still alive, but barely. Blood covered the floor, his blood. I curled up in a ball and cried. We were in this mess because of me. If I hadn't agreed to take a walk, none of this would've ever happened. I cried for what seemed like hours before someone came into the room. I let them come toward me. I didn't care if they killed me or not anymore. It was better if I stayed dead. I heard something make a loud thump, and I turned around.

Percy was lying on the ground in a pool of blood. I rushed over to him just as the door slammed shut.

"Percy!" I said.

He stirred at my voice. "Annabeth?" he muttered.

I cried into his chest. "It's MY entire fault Percy! If I hadn't-"

He sat up as best he could, and hugged me. "It isn't your fault. We would've been in this situation at some point, no matter what we did."

I started to cry again. Percy held me, and before I knew it, I was asleep.

"Well, well, well." I heard a cold voice say when I woke up. "What do we have here?"
