Annabeth pov:

This is how it came up to. One minute I was standing with Percy and Thalia and stopping those two from attacking the monster and the second moment I was here. Where ever this place was. All I knew was that Nico was on the ground and quite not in his conscious. Now was the time to take action then think later.

"Tell that guy-" I jerked my chin towards a blond guy who had Nico lying almost dead near him. "To leave Nico alone and we won't mean you harm." I whispered harshly in the red hair girl's ear while griping my dagger more tightly.

I had no understanding of to why we had reached here. I could say that from my assumption, Nico who usually never listened to anyone even if it is concerning his own life might have used his shadow travelling power to make us escape those weird monsters, the same monsters which I wasn't taught of in the camp. Actually that was the reason I was so angry, I didn't understand things. Of what those monsters were, or why did Chiron send us to that small forest island and why we couldn't escape that island. We been stuck on that island for three days but we couldn't manage to get out. We tried everything to escape from Percy's water power to Jason's flying and even Hazel's ability to take out precious minerals. We at the end decided that even through Percy could summon his power or Jason could fly around the island but not out of it. There was some sort of a boundary which wasn't allowing us to access the world outside the island. Nico's shadow-traveling ability managed to make us travel places to places on the island but we couldn't travel out of the island. I didn't understand what was happening. We already had exhausted Nico from making him use his ability to run from the monster twice today when they surrounded us in large number.

" Nico?" The red hair girl asked, seeming confused.

"Yes we want Nico handed back to us or else that guy-" Thalia pointed at the blond boy who was holding Nico's head on his lap," will be harmed." She stared at Thalia for a moment or so then looked back at me. Meanwhile I saw the blond guy sending me nasty glares and kept looking at my dagger on her neck.

He looking at me like if I do anything to this girl, he'll rip me to pieces.

"Listen we don't want to hurt you but if you don't hand over Nico right now, we might." Jason said, putting up his hand after he, most likely noticed the death glares he was sending me.

" He fainted." The blond boy spoke through clenched teeth.

" What did you do to my brother?" Hazel asked looking worriedly towards her unconscious brother.

"I want to make this clear. First thing first, Jace hand them the boy. They obviously want that kid. Second we didn't do anything to that boy, he appeared to us like that the same way you guys did. We were- um-doing our own business when he showed up and fainted and then you guys came up and started to threaten us." The red hair girl said as she focused on us to listen to her while that so called Jace person looked at me.

"Leave her first then I'll do it to him." He spoke with challenge in his tone. I was so not going to do that. Believe it or not, not all blondes are stupid. I sure was going to give him a piece of my mind when Percy spoke up, "You're leaving Nico or I'll personally make you. You're in our captive not the other way Mr. pretty boy." He dipped his sword closer in the Jace's windpipes.

"Jace please? " the red hair girl spoke up rather panicky and Jace said some sort of cruse then let Hazel take Nico from him with the help of Jason and Percy. Thalia who was watching this silently came towards me as I left the red hair girl and saw her rubbing her neck at the place where my dagger was held. The blond boy or rather Jace walked towards her then grabbed her wrist, pulling her to his side while watching all of us one by one until the red hair girl spoke up.

" I'm sure you guys don't trust us but Jace-" the girl said as she tilted her head towards "Jace" and continued as I studied both of them. They seem quite close. And if I'm sure that's a blade which is sheathed under Jace's shirt isn't it? And what's with those tattoos? "Shouldn't we call the silent brothers for the boy? Jace, he is injured." The red head girl finished ,but I can say when she looked at Nico, she actually looked concern. Jace looked at the girl as if she lost her mind but then spoke up, "He needs a -what do they call those mundane healer? " he asked facing the red hair girl and she rolled her eyes then opened her mouth to answer but before she can, he continued on. " Ah yes, doctor, he needs a doctor. Not a silent brother." He added, looking straight at the red hair girl as they whispered words among themselves.

What in the world is a silent brother and did he actually didn't know how to say a doctor? Looks likes there are people who are more stupid then seaweed head. And the way he said those "mundane healers" He says that word as if they aren't that but then I did sense something from him. I really don't think he is just a human. Demigod then? No, that can't be it.

" Listen just let us leave this room or whatsoever and we'll be gone." Percy interrupted as I saw Hazel searching through her backpack which she had hung over her back and took out a small piece of Ambrosia and fed it to Nico who coughed and then swallowed it.

"I don't think we can allow you to leave just as about now, you will be questioned by the clave first and then you might be allowed to leave."Jace spoke with authority. "We need him to get back to the camp!" Hazel yelled, straining to go past Jason who had his grip on to her.

" Camp?" The red hair girl asked, " You came from a camp, but how did you end up here? How did you come inside the institute. I thought-"

" I thought the same thing." Jace interrupted and continued to go on as if pieces in his mind were clicking together.

"Listen, I don't know who the clave are and I don't think we have the time to find out. Nico is quite unstable and we need Chiron to see him." Percy said with threat in each and every word which made a smile came across my face unintentional. But as I saw Jace's mind working and the red hair girl's confusion along with Thalia's signal for me to look at the door which was located at the far corner of the room, I decided that we had to stay here. Even if it's just for the time being. I spoke up.

"No Percy we need to stay here. If the matter is about Nico, then I should tell you this, I studied enough health stuff to help Nico recover. We also don't even know where we are. It's going to be an absolute not a good idea to walk out with Nico in that manner. His condition will get worse if we get out of here and wander to places. Right now he needs a bed. As for these people we need to trust them, they aren't as bad as we might think." At this comment both Percy and that blond boy-Jace- snorted and Percy muttered something which I only caught two words of it, wise girl.

I raised my eyebrow at Percy but he looked away. After a long silence he answered with a defeating sigh but had his had read at his sword which still wasn't in its ballpoint pen form. "I think Annabeth is right. We couldn't leave even if we wanted, it looks like their friends are waiting for us, across that open door with their weapons drawn." Percy said, after he finally caught up with the signal Thalia gave me and now to Percy. Heads turned around at the place where Percy was pointing his sword towards. Thalia already walking toward that place.

At the door stood two people, both with black hair but different eyes. One had blue eyes which belonged to a guy who had a bow pointed at us and then there was a long black hair girl who had a rope by her side as if to whip someone.

"Jace, is everything alright?" The black hair girl spoke up and eyed us.

" We heard commotion of voices and ruckus here. You never introduced your friends to us Jace. Who are they?" The blue eyed boy asked, and at this only Jace's laugh echoed in the room.
