-Annabeth-

When I reached the dinner table with Percy's hand still in mine we sat down. I looked over to the girls to see them all sitting with their crushes with huge smiles that can give Chester the cat (from Alice in the wonderland) a run for his money.

I glanced at Thalia and gave her a look that said 'did everyone finally get together?' she nodded her head. YES! FINNALY! Everybody turned and looked at me like I'm an alien. Did I say that out loud? '' yeah, Annabeth you did.'' Said Percy, who was currently on the ground laughing along with the others. ''oh, ha-ha. Just get up and eat.'' I demanded.

Once everybody was settled down Clarisse asked '' so how's the cure coming?'' Oh gods she can't be asking this. Not now with everybody around. '' um… it's going good.'' I said quietly. '' Princess what are you not telling us?'' Only Thalia knows this. I don't understand it its so confusing. '' it's going fine.'' I said a little bit louder. '' tell me.'' She started to get up. '' Clarisse its fine.'' I said getting up also. ''TELL ME!'' She screamed. That was it. I can't take the guilt that I let them down. '' YOU WANT TO KNOW?! FINE! THE CURE DIDN'T WORK!'' I yelled starting to walk away.

I heard gasps from behind me. I heard 'what do you mean it doesn't work' or 'its fine Annabeth just keep trying.' But one really hurt me and it came from Clarisse. '' what happened to your promise princess.'' I sprinted around the corner and fell to the ground.

Count to 10. 1 take a steady breath…2 …3 I still could hear the fighting out there. Tears started to escape my eyes. I failed them. There my only family left and I failed the-. '' Percy there's infected outside! We need you now!'' Leo yelled from inside the cafeteria.

I heard them get up and run outside. I ran into the elevator and got up to the roof, because I can't have my friends suspicious of my secret know can I? HOLY BABY NINJA UNICORNS! Theres around 60 out there. Alright breathe. I ran up to the edge and started to grab my knives that are (extremely pointy) always hidden on me. I threw my first one and nailed an infected right in between the eyes. Did I happen to mention that I can throw knives really well?

I grabbed 2 of my favorite knives and threw them into 2 infected causing them to fall into other infected. I kept throwing my knives until I only had one left. There were still tons of infected down there. There was only one thing I can do. I ran into the elevator and down to the fight. Once my feet hit the pavement I ran in front of the battle. The infected didn't notice me yet but they will soon.

I grabbed my knife and cut my hand open letting blood drip on the ground. (She did this because the infected want her because of her secret that I'm not going to reveal fully yet. They basically hunt her down by smell but if they can actually smell her blood they will know exactly where she is.) Not to my surprise all the infected heads turned towards me. I threw my last throwing knife at the nearest infected showing them that I wasn't going to give up without a fight. I grabbed my actual fighting knife from the side were its strapped to my hip and attacked with force and power taking all of my anger out on the infected. I attacked the infected like a monster that was untamed.

Once the fight was over I looked around to see injured. Clarisse turned around but before she could say something I turned around and ran into the hotel. I ran into the lab and went over the notes I took. When I used the cure on an infected nothing important happened. It just lunged at me and I grabbed my knife and killed it. I felt a little zap and the infected came alive again. I guess I didn't really kill it but I swear it was dead.

I don't know what happened. It should have worked. I decided to go up on the roof to get some fresh air. I walked down to the elevator trying my best to avoid everybody. I got into the elevator and plopped onto the ground listening to the crappy elevator music. I need to see if Leo can change the music to something a little upbeat. Maybe he can install ke$ha, my chemical romance, or paramoro. Oh maybe I can get fall out bo- ''ding.'' The elevator door opened breaking me out of my thought.

I walked out on the roof and looked around the night sky. '' well it looks like Blondie came back to join us boys.'' Said a ruff male's voice from behind me. I turned around taking out my knife and got ready to fight. The sight I saw sure did surprise me. There were 4 older men around the age of 30 looking at me with a very angry looking Thalia bound by her wrist and feet and gagged. I studied the men but the one who talked looked awfully familiar. I looked him over and gasped. There on his jacket was a symbol of 2 swords in front of a fire. It was the gang that broke Thalias cd and she blew the building up.

''we can do this the easy way or the hard way. I think you should pick the easy way so I don't need to use my energy for no reason.'' The man yelled out to me. '' well I think the easy way are for lazy idiots just like you.'' I yelled back. I mean honestly if you're going to kidnap don't give people the option you should just take them. '' well I guess it's the hard way.'' He said and lunged at me with his sword. I blocked his blow with my knife and kicked him in the stomach. We kept fighting like this until I was able to reach the elevator door. I kicked him away making him fall while I clicked the button repeatedly until it opened. I stumbled in and grabbed the emergency phone that was installed into it. I looked over to the man and saw him struggling to get up. '' HELP! ON THE ROOF! THERES AN ANGRY GANG THAT WANTS REVEN-'' I was shoved into the wall by the man who was now towering over me. I punched him were the sun doesn't shine causing him to bend over. I pulled his legs out from underneath of him making him fall on his face. i moved over to get out of the elevator when I felt somebody latch onto my ankle. I looked back to see the man pulling me back into the elevator and clicking the elevator button down to the 1st floor.

The elevator doors started to close so I had to get back into the elevator. The man grabbed my hair yanking my head back and slamming it into the wall of the elevator. I crumbled onto the floor with a scream of agony. I touched my head to feel a hot liquid oozing out of it. HE DID JUST NOT MAKE ME BLEED. I grabbed his foot making him fall into the wall. I started to get up but was soon in pain again when he pulled my hair back. I swung my fist blindly until I felt it hit its target. He crumbled to the floor letting me get up. I started kicking him but soon remembered the phone. I grabbed it and yelled into it '' THALIAS UP ON THE ROOF! GET TO HER! IM IN THE ELEVATOR HEADING DOWN TO THE 1ST FLOOR! IM ALL GOO- AHHH!'' I screamed in pain when the man took my ankle and twisted it. Black spots started to blur my vision but I wasn't going to give up. The man pulled me down to the ground pinning me down. He started punching me and I knew that I had a broken nose. I brought my knee up and kneed him in the gut making him fall off of me. CAN THIS ELEVATOR GO ANY SLOWER? The man grabbed my still sore ankle but I kicked him in the face.

The elevator doors opened up and I tried to crawl out but the man put a death grip on my bad ankle and started pulling me back into the elevator. I started to scream in pain as he started twisting my ankle. I felt a pair of hands grab me and try to pull me out of the elevator while 2 people rushed into the elevator to stop the man. I tried to stay awake and help kick the man off but the pain got the best of me and I fell unconscious.
