Notes:

So the last fanfic i wrote was a little cringe (im sorry /). So Im gonna try to make this one better. Btw this story doesn't really have a timeline. i just included the characters i want in it.

Chapter 1: Black Out

Percy's POV:

It was a hot summer day, and I had nothing better to do, so I was just laying in the bay drifting from thought to thought when I heard Annabeth calling for me from the shore. I look over to see her with Selina, Connor, and Travis.

I swim towards them and when I'm just making it out of the water, the Stoll twins grab me by my hoodie and arms and drag me over to my cabin.

"Hey! What- why- OW!" I was going to ask what they were doing when my back hit a rock. "STOP." I yelled at them. My back was bleeding, and with just my luck, the rock was one of the sharpest in the cluster. Connor and Travis let go of me when they saw the blood trickling from my back.

"Percy?!" Annabeth pushed the twins out of her way and ran towards me. When she made her way towards me I stoped her with my hand and proped myself onto my elbows.

"I-I'll be fine." Luckly, we haven't gone more than a few feet from the sea. I quickly got up and made my way over so I could heal my back. Annabeth came stumbling behind me, franicly apologising.

"Im so sorry, Percy!" Annabeth had a look of raw guilt on her face. "W-we just wanted to-" I cut her off.

"It's fine." I said semi-angrly. "What did you want with me?."

Selina jumped into our conversation. "We wanted to play truth or dare with you. We knew you wouldn't agree, so we were going to drag you to your cabin and basicly force you to play with us." I looked at her and slaped my forehead.

"You know, if you asked, I would've agreed."

"You would?" Everyone said in shock.

"Yeah, I would." I said sarcasticly. "Would have saved me a lot of pain." I stepped out of the water. "Im guessing you're still going to make me play, huh?" Annabeth and the Stoll brothers shook their heads, yes. "Fine. So you said we were playing in my cabin?"

Once we made it to my cabin, I swung open the door to find Nico, Will, and leo playing a card game.

"GO FISH!" Leo yelled out. Nico muttered a curse under his breath as he drew a card.

"AHAH." Nico held up an ace of spades, then slamed it down on the ground with 3 other aces and screamed. "I GOT IT AFTERALL, I WIN. SUCK ON THAT LE-"

"Uhem." I said, trying to get their attention. "What are you doing in my cabin?" I asked.

"W-we..." Nico was caught off gaurd. "It's so hot outside and so nice a cool in here so, we just- uhm..." I didn't really care what they were doing here. I walked over to my dresser to grab a new hoodie to change into, sense my old one was stained with blood. I wen't behind a wall to change into my hoodie so no one could see my scars. They aren't something im proud of. Especially the ones that aren't from monsters.

I came out from behind the wall to see everyone sitting in a circle ready to play Truth or Dare. I sat next to Annabeth, and she grabbed my hand, our fingers wrapping around each others hands. She leaned over and whispered, "Sorry" in my ear. I felt bad for getting angry at her, so I squized her hand twice to tell her it's okay.

"Let the game begin!" Selina said excitingly. "Here are the rules, if you don't answer a truth, you have to do a dare, and if you don't do a dare, you should... uhm..."

"You should remove an article of clothing!!!" Leo exclaimed.

"No, thats kinda gross, and what happened when they're completely naked? That's just weird." Selina was upset with leo for that idea. "Oh! I know, you have to get tied to the footboard of the bunk bed and get blind folded for 2 rounds!" I'm a little caught off guard by that statement. That doesn't seem like a great idea, but i dont plan on turning down any dares, so... game on.

"Sense I'm hosting. I'll go first." Selina states. "Leo, truth or dare?"

"Dare." leo said with an evil grin.

"I dare you to jump into the lake, fully clothed, and pretend you're a fish."

"Bet." Leo ran out of the cabin and in exactly 5 minutes came shoveling back in soaking wet. "My turn! Nico truth or dare."

"Hmm... Truth."

"Is it true that you're afraid of cats?"

"No, where'd you hear that?" Nico looked annoyed.

"Uh... No where! Carry on." Leo huddled back against the wall semingly embarrassed.

"Annabeth, truth or dare?"

"Dare." Annabeth said sternly.

"I dare you to pick truth." Nico said, annoyed.

"Can he do that?" I asked Selina.

"I mean... I guess."

"I pick truth then." Annabeth said unsurely.

"Have you and Percy ever made out?" Annabeth was caught off guard by this question, me too. I would have expected this question from Selina, but not Nico.

"I mean, we've kissed. But, I wouldn't say make out."

"awwww." The group said, upset.

"You've been dating for what? 2 years now? What's the hold up?" Selina said with puppy dog eyes. Annabeth looked a little offended but carried on.

"Selina, truth or dare." Annabeth asked with an evil glint in her eyes, which scared me a little.

"Truth, im not about to take a dare from you." Selina said with a humph.

"How much makeup do you own, and how do you do that eyeliner trick? It looks really good." Annabeth seemed to want to get back at her for her state ment but since she picked truth, she had to come up with one quick. However, Selina went on a whole rant for about 30 minutes on all her makeup and ryeliner tricks. Annabeth looked pretty interested, but me and everyone else were bored and started to play 'Go Fish', Nico won again.

After an enternity later, Selina finally stopped and asked, "Truth or dare, Percy?" I wasn't expecting to get called on, so I was a little shocked.

"Dare." Of course I was going to pick dare, I'm bored. What'd you expect?

"I dare you..." Selina needed time to think about the dare. "I dare you to make put with Annabeth right here, right now. For 5 minutes." I looked at Annabeth. She looked at me. I really didn't want to make out in front of all those people, and she looked like she didn't really want to either. So, I chose the latter.

"Uhm- no." Selina looked at me puzzlely.

"Welp, you know what that means. GET HIM!" I was tackled to the floor by the Stoll brothers. My hands were tied together by some fishing line they found on the wall. They tied me to the footboard of the bunk bed and blind filded with one of my shirts.

"Okay, okay. ha, ha." I said sarcasticly. "Go ahead and do the next rounds so I can get out." There was no sound. "Hello?" I called out. I could hear some snickering, but besides that, it was silent. "HELLO? GUYS?! This isn't funny!!! Let me out, PLEASE." Someone tugged at my legs and off my shoe, and socks went. I tucked my knees against my chest to try and get away. And suddenly, im back. Im back in the dingey utility room at the very bottom of the basement in my apartment building in New York. I wanted to scream for help, but i couldn't. It felt like my neck had been bruised and his now swollen. I manage to croak out, "h-el-p..." When Gabe, my first step-father, appeared. I let out a chocked scream as I saw what he was holding. He was holding a belt and a knife with a lighter. I tried to kick, scream, untie the restraints, but I couldn't. I could only sit there in pure shock. He did his fat little beer waddle over to me, proceeded to push me over onto my back, and hit me with the belt multiple times. I screamed and panicked, but I couldn't escape. He hit me on the back of my head, knocking me out. I awoke to the feeling of pure agony as if I'm being ripped apart. Gabe had pined me against the floor and was carving with a heated knife into my back. I screamed until I couldn't scream. I cried until I couldn't cry. I attempted to fight until I couldn't fight anymore. I felt like I was going to die. I let out one final scream as Gabe hit the back of my head.

"Percy, PERCY, PERCY... PERCY... PERCY!" His voiced changed until it was no longer his. It was Annabeth. She sounded horrified. I realized my hands were no longer restrained and I quickly took off my blind fold to find I was slumped in between the floor and the bunk bed. My head hurt like hell. Blood was trickling down my forehead. There was a dent in the frame of the bed above my head. Will was trying to examine me but didn't want to startle me.

"W-what happened?" I asked cautiously.

Everyone looked horrified as if I was about to attack. Nobody said anything until Annabeth finally spoke up.

"W-we were just messing around! And then y-you started screaming. You kicked Connor in the face." Annabeth was studying my face as if I was some horrifying exotic creature.

"I-I'm so sorry!" I gasped when I saw Connors face. His nose was crooked in the most awful angle. I felt like a rabbid beast. "I-I did that?" I asked in shock.

"Percy... What happened? Are you okay?" Annabeth looked like she was trying to tame a wild beast, which denfently did not make me feel better.

"I-I want to be alone." I said sternly. "Leave. Please."

Everyone left except Annabeth. Nico tried to hang around but was ushered out of the room by Will after he bandaged my forehead.

Notes:

I was reading back on this chapter to decide what to do for chapter 2 and saw some grammar mistakes (sorry, english isn't my first language). So, I edited this. hopefully, it's easier to read now.
