Annabeth's POV
I screamed and kicked Blackjack multiple times. I eventually passed out from exhaustion.
When I woke up I heard screaming. I was in Percy's bed. Tears well up in my eyes when I realize it doesn't even smell like him anymore.
I heard Thalia scream, "You don't even care?! Annabeth is like my little sister and you guys just say to hell with it. You know what's going to happen when they are done torturing Percy, They are going to come try and take over the world. The monsters hate my cousin so much they are going to torture him to death! Annabeth wants him back and I am going to get him back for her. Even if it brings me to my death!"
I close my eyes as Thalia stomps inside. She pauses and then brushes the hair out of my face and says, "I can tell when you fake sleep Annabeth."
I open my eyes and they well with tears. I jump up and hug her and whisper my voice cracking, "Thanks Thals, You saved me from that hell hole and you are going to go all of the way back to get him for me."
She ruffles my hair, "Hey that's what sisters are for right?" I wish I laughed, I really wish I laughed.
Instead I have a flashback form that fricking hell hole:
Kelli that stupid Empousa reformed and came to torture me. She kept stabbing me and multiple times she would say, "Hey that's what sisters are for right?"
I backed away form Thalia, Only able to see Kelli's face.
"Annabeth?" Thalia/Kelli face said reaching out for my hand.
"Annabeth? Are you alright?" Kelli would ask after stabbing me multiple times, "Here let me make it better!" She continued to stab me, my arms bleeding and cut open.
I scream and back away from her. I sprint out the door which Thalia conveniently left open.
I run down to the beach where Jason and Piper are. Piper is crying and Jason is comforting her.
"Why did it have to be Percy?! They just got back together after 6 months of hell and now this!" Piper cried into Jason's shoulder.
"I don't get it, Why wouldn't the god's want to help them get Percy back." She cries even more.
I run away. I run towards the woods, Hoping I can make it to bunker 9 where Leo hopefully is. He might be able to cheer me up.
I try and sprint past the campers who will stop me (A.K.A. Clarisse, Will, etc.)
But because of months of torture I have absolutely no muscle strength what so ever.
Will is able to tackle me and he says, "Hey. Calm down... Stay down... Annabeth it's OK."
A monster of some sort was attempting to rape me. I don't know who it is because I am blindfolded. I scream and cry and eventually I go limp because I am exhausted as hell.
I judo Flip Will off of me and he lands on his back groaning.
I sprint off into the woods hearing an, "Annabeth Wait!"
I remember running through the tunnels trying to get out of my torture time.
Trees fly past me becoming a blur.
The walls were just blurs of brown;
I run faster and faster trying to escape the flashbacks but I can't. Trees close in around me and I fly straight into one.
I run around a corner hearing, "Come back little girl we aren't done with you yet!" I run straight into a wall. A Demigod on Gaea's side picks me up and says, "Now let me finish what I started." I realize that he was the one who was trying to rape me.
I fly back and hit the ground. clutching my head. I blackout and see Percy tied to the floor Gaea circling him and saying, "Well here I thought that I would have to take over the world without a demigod hanging on my wall."
Percy snarls, "You thought I was dead, WRONG! You think I am going to die here, go ahead as long as Annabeth is safe I don't care what happens to me!"
Gaea laughs and growls at Percy, "Wow, You really think I wont capture Annabeth when I am done taking over the world." She laughed harder, "If my plan fails somehow and I don't take over the world then you will die and it will broadcast on every T.V. and Every radio, Every iPhone everything! There is no way that Annabeth will not see you die!"
Percy curses, "Damn You, I just said I don't care If I fucking die! As long As Annabeth is safe from your stupid clutches then I don't fucking care what happens to me!"
Gaea laughs even more, "Well then I will send my demons and whatever I have after Annabeth, They can bring her here and then I can torture the two of you together It will be beautiful!"
I scream and call Percy's Name. I look around and realize that I am not in the woods. Where am I exactly, good question I wish I new.
"Hey welcome to the land of the living Annabeth," I turn and see Leo, He has a grim smile on his face. "I seen you running and then I realized you were running from everyone so I had Fetus help me bring you in here."
I look around, "Is this... Bunker 9?" Leo nods. "Oh I wanted you to meet a friend of mine. She is new. She is a daughter of Hades and she says she wants to talk to you about something."
I hear the door creak open and a 14 year old girl walks in. "This is Cassandra, She said she met a ghost that wants to talk to you."
Cassandra opens her mouth and says, "I... I can talk to ghosts, um... One of them wants to talk to you Annabeth."
I nod and Leo leaves the room to grab cookies. Cassandra sits down next to me and says, "The ghost is my best friend he helped me make it to camp. He traveled with me and told me stories about you. He said he refused to pass on until he spoke to you."
I nod again and she takes a deep breath before continuing, "He said he made some bad choices and that is why he wanted to talk to you, He was really sorry about them and well he wanted to apologize. His name is Luke Castellan"
I suck in a breath and say, "Luke?" She nods and turns to her side, "Luke says he is sorry, He didn't mean to let Kronos Possess his body. He thought it was the right thing until the end. He loved you, He thought you felt different, So he kinda just acted like you were his little sister. He says he can help you get Percy back, He wanted to do something right before he was re-birthed."
Tears trickle down my face. "Oh tell him I am sorry, I.. I thought he loved me like a sister so I forced myself to feel different... I wish he could help but I don't think he can."
I feel a warm breeze wrap around my shoulders, and a faint whisper, "Annabeth I can help, Please, I love you and I want to get him back for you."
More tears trickle down my cheeks. "Luke how, How can you get him back, your... your a ghost."
I can't hear him this time but Cassandra translates, "He knows how to get to him, Please Annabeth,"
I nod and whisper, "Tell him I am sorry, I doubted him and hated him and a bunch of other things... I regret that every time. I feel like he died feeling like I hated him."
Cassandra shakes her head, "He knew you loved him at one point. He knew and he accepted that you loved Percy. He wants to help you, It will fix his regrets..."
"OK, But I have to go..." I say rushing out of the room.
I slam into Leo and fall down. He says, "Whoa. You alright?" He hands me a cookie and smiles.
Krios smiles at me and says, "Whoa are you alright. Mother can be harsh I am sorry." He hands me a cookie and I nibble on it.
I blink and Leo tilts his head confused. "Hey? Are you OK?"
I am barely able to mumble, "Flashbacks."
He nods again and helps me up. I turn away and ask him, "How much did I miss... You know while I was gone?"
Leo takes a deep breath, "A lot yet a little."
I roll my hand, "Elaborate."
He pulls up two stools and says, "We had just killed Clytius when Bob and a giant... um Damasen... came out of the doors of death with Percy in his arms..." FLASHBACK LEO'S POV:
Bob came out of the doors and had Percy in his arms, All of went to attack but Nico rushed in front of him yelling, "No! He is friendly." Jason stood by his side and said, "If Nico says he's friendly we should all believe him."
I thought they were both nuts but hey you don't want to mess with them. They are like children of the big three with really great powers and are pretty scary... "Leo, the story." "Yeah sorry."
The rest of us turned toward the giant. Bob explained that He was friendly too. He helped to heal Percy and Annabeth earlier. Well Bob laid Percy down and explained that he tried to heal him and he couldn't because the imperial gold wound touched his soul.
Piper started crying saying, "Where? Where is Annabeth?"
Bob's face was solemn and he turned away. Piper ran to Jason and sobbed on his shoulder. Thousands of diamonds popped up around Hazel. She leaned into Frank and Nico put his arm around her.
I stood there and realized that the chains weren't cut. I kind of sprinted over there and cut them quickly because I am super awesome like that. I mean tons of things could've come through the doors if I didn't cut the chains. I was a hero... "Leo." "Sorry"
The chasm started to collapse and Bob disappeared with Percy in his arms. Nico and Hazel shadow traveled us to the surface. The Argo two appeared over the horizon and it aimed its ballistae at Bob and Damasen. Jason flew up to the ship before coach could fire. You could hear coach swearing from all the way across the countryside.
Finally he decided to land. We ate lunch and Percy was transported to sick bay mumbling your name.
"He was mumbling me name?" "Yeah, can I get back to the story now..." "Yeah sorry."
Well we made the decision to travel back to Camp because Gaea sent a message to one of her men that she didn't want to rise until after she was done with something. We later found out that something was you.
Jason wanted to pack up and find you right then and there Piper and I were all set to go with him. Coach said that we were crazy and that Gaea probably killed you already.
Nico said that you were alive, he was sure of it but coach wouldn't take yes for an answer.
We finally gave in after an hour and a half of arguing.
We sailed back to Camp and a few times Bob would teleport us out of danger.
Damasen would do whatever it took to heal Percy but as hard as we tried, we couldn't.
Nico spent most of his time with Bob and Percy. He wouldn't talk to anybody but occasionally he would scream and say you like came very close to dying, but you were still alive.
Skip ahead we made it to camp and rushed him to the Infirmary. Nico stayed there with Will and Percy because he might have shadow traveled the ship a mile or two just to get s out of danger.
We got new campers but the camp seemed so dead. It wasn't lively and everyone was calm and quiet.
Skip forward to about a week ago and Percy woke up and he took off. He went to find you and well the rest is history.
I have tears in my eyes, "Oh" was the only word that I could say. Leo went to give me a hug and backed away. "Touchy or no touchy?" I giggle and open my arms and he says, "That's what uncle Leo is for."
He takes me into the other room. Nico is sitting on the couch and without even looking at us he asks, "Hey Valdez? What kind of movies you got on here?"
Leo laughs and walks over to a closet, opening it causes over a thousand movie cases to fall on the floor.
"Feel free to rummage through this." He says "I am gonna go make some popcorn."
Percy's POV
Gaea comes in and snickers walking around me.
I stare her right in the face and say, "What do you want dirt face?"
She snickers again. "Your blood. I have enough of Annabeth's to raise me I just need a little of yours And you are going to give it to me."
She leans in real close. "You have a visitor who will get every drop that I need."
I turn towards the door and a girl wearing chains walks in, she says, "Hello Percy, We have much to discuss."
So how was that. A lot of flashbacks in this chapter. Sorry about them but it makes sense with the story line.
OH WHO DO YOU THINK THE LADY COMING TO TALK TO PERCY IS? I WILL GIVE YOU A HINT, PERCY HAS MET HER AND SHE WAS CAPTURED BY GAEA.
SHE IS A ROMAN AND WELL IF I GIVE YOU ANYMORE THEN IT WONT BE A CONTEST. BUONA FORTUNA (GODD LUCK IN ITALIAN)
So I will see you next time. Hey while your at it leave a review or a PM. :) they make my day.
GOODBYE! :P
