(Grover's POV)

"Alright. So the boulder is covering the door, which we'll need to get out. And let's be honest, none of us are strong enough to be able to move it." Annabeth sighs, then stays silent for a moment. "We need a way for the cyclops to move the boulder, so.. maybe we need a distraction..?" She looks straight at me, which makes me worried. I don't even have time to think about it before Percy starts talking.

"There's no way." He says, almost angrily. "Grover isn't doing that." He says, like I don't have a say in the matter. Annabeth rolls her eyes.

"Okay, dude, I don't necessarily think it's your choice." I want to say something but.. "It's Grover's choice, and also, do you have a better idea, Percy?" Annabeth says. They both turn to me, as if expecting me to say something. Percy looks at me with pleading eyes. I kind of feel like I have to, because if I made them come all this way for me, to rescue me from this cyclops that wanted to marry me, and we aren't even able to escape, it will be because of me.

 There's a moment of silence between us all. "I'll.. do it." I finally say. "So how do you expect me to distract him??" I turn to Annabeth, who lets out a sigh of relief.

"Thank you." She replies, continuing to talk. "I want you to be over by the boulder, and try calling the cyclops over, and when he looks, remove your veil. He'll immediately run over, and will try to catch you. You need to run and hide while he comes over, and he'll believe that you ran outside, then, he'll move the boulder, and when he's distracted, we'll escape." She says, confidently. I trust Annabeth, I really do, but I'm still unsure. Percy stays silent.

I sigh out. "Alright." I'm really nervous. There's a million things that could go wrong. Alarms are blaring off in my head, telling me to say no.

I can't back out now, and this is our best choice. 

"This isn't a good idea. Seriously!" Percy finally groans.

"It's our best bet." Annabeth replies hastily.

I nod, and I turn to see Clarisse still distracting Polyphemus. I can tell she won't be able to keep this up for much longer. 

"Let's get to it..!" I say, interrupting Percy and Annabeth's bickering.

(Percy's POV)

I watch as Grover walks over to the boulder. I need to find a different plan. If this goes wrong, then what will we do? I'll lose him all over again? This time, forever?

I want to scream, and kick, and yell, telling him not to do it, but I feel limp. I feel Annabeth nudge me, kicking me out of my trance. 

"Annabeth. You're sure this will work?"

"All we can do is try."

.. 

I sigh nervously.

"POLYPHEMUS!!" I hear Grover's voice, and my head snaps towards the sound. His voice echoes through the cave, ringing in my ears. I hear Polyphemus' stomping stop. Clarisse looks confused, mortified, and angry all at the same time. I can't blame her. This plan is crazy. 

I see Polyphemus' head turn, slowly but surely. Grover removes his veil. Polyphemus leans his head in to see Grover more clearly, and I can see the realization finally set in.

This is when I expect Grover to run, but he just.. stands there. like a dear in headlights. Fuck. Shit. Damn it. I knew this plan wouldn't work. I have to think of something. I have to find a way to get to him.. I have to-  

"You're-- no- LADY CYCLOPS!" 

I have to think of something. I have to do something. I can't let this happen.

--

I run over involuntarily. I pick Grover up easily, and begin running.

I need to find a place to hide. 

My eyes glance across the cave quickly, and I dash to hide behind a oversized rock.

Please take the bait. PLEASE take the bait.

I hear Grover's voice say something, but it all sounds muffled to me. I'm dizzy. I tighten my grasp on Grover, refusing to let him go.

"Percy??" I hear Grover's muffled voice again. this time I can make out some words.

"Percy?! Are you okay? I'm so sorry. This is all my fault." I hear his voice say, tearfully. 

My ears are ringing and my head is pounding. My breathing becomes more labored and panicked. 

Please take the bait. PLEASE take the bait.
