Ransom

Chapter 36: Allie White

Silena asked "Where are Allie and Luke?"

Everyone looked around. Where were they?

"Oh my gods..." Annabeth said. Allie knew that this must feel awful. Not just because their children were missing, but because of where they went missing. In Tartarus, really?!

"What-Where-When-" Piper started to ask.

That's when Allie saw a vision. It was of Luke and Allie walking aimlessly around atop of the cliff that hung over the River Phelgethon.

Allie had tripped and started to fall into the river, but Luke caught her wrist. The fire-water made a tube of its liquid surround Allie's body until below the hip, therefore the reason why she fell in the first place.

Allie was telling Luke to let her go, that he wasn't strong enough to pull her back up, considering that he also had to hold onto a tree to keep himself from falling.

Luke shook his head, indicating that he wouldn't let her fall.

Allie screamed at Luke that she would be fine, that the river wouldn't hurt her, but Luke knew better. The river wasn't it's normal orangey-red color that fire should be. It was instead turning from the color of fire to the color of darkness. Plus, Allie's t-shirt was smoking and her skin was starting to burn, and her face showed that she was in pain.

Allie White blinked away the image, only to see Castor shaking her shoulders lightly. "Allie? Hello? Earth to Allie White?" He was saying.

"They're back at the River Phlegeton, and something is wrong with the river." Allie said while looking at the Jackson's and the Grace's, ignoring her boyfriend who sighed with relief.

"No time for questions," Allie cut off Annabeth who had a question about to escape her lips "we need to hurry."

Everyone started to run back to the river.

It would take an hour at this rate, and so Allie stopped running and said "Jason!"

He turned to face her. "Why don't we fly everyone over? Like make a platform with the wind?" Allie asked.

He nodded his head in understanding. "Everyone get into a clump." Jason ordered. They followed his orders as Allie and him made an air platform and started to fly towards the river of fire.

They flew at an alarming speed.

Allie could see two small figured above a river that looked just like the one from her vision.

That was a very weird vision, but that's not the point right now.

They dropped the platform and Allie and Jason ran forward with Annabeth, Percy, and Piper on their heels.

Allie White dove over the cliff and grabbed Allie Grace. She dropped her off on the ground, next to the rest of them. Piper and Jason hugged her as Luke was hugged by his parents.

"What happened?!" Annabeth asked.

Luke took a deep breath and said "Well, we were walking with the rest of you guys when Allie heard something. She said that it was telling her to come back here, and to not tell anyone else."

"Is this true?" Piper asked her daughter. She nodded her head. Luke continued with "We came back here like we were ordered to and-and then a tube of whatever that stuff is came up and grabbed Allie. I've been holding onto her ever since, which was like 20 minutes." Luke said.

"That's so weird." Calypso stated. "No, it isn't." Annabeth said.

Everyone looked to her for an explanation "Nyx wants us to stay here so that when she gets back from her children, she can get to us."

"Allie, what made you want to come here again? Were you threatened?" Jason asked her. Allie stared at her father for a few minutes with a blank stare, before solemnly nodding her head. She then said "If I didn't come, she said that she would kill Luke."

Luke's eyes widened in horror as she said that. "So you decided to tell me and bring me along?!" He asked. "It was either bring you or let you get killed, what choice did I have?" She responded with tears brimming her eyes. Allie White could tell that Allie Grace knew that she put him in danger and felt terrible about it.

He nodded in understanding. "Alright, let's just get back to the Land of the Living and then we can talk about all of this." Leo said. Everyone nodded in agreement.

They started back towards the Doors, something that Allie wasn't too thrilled that she had to do yet again.

When the Scythian Drachnae approached the group, she froze yet again. She didn't let that fear completely over take her this time, though.

She gathered as much courage as she could muster and turned around to kill that stupid Drachnae. Then, she killed the second one. How she felt in that moment was...well, confusing. She was still scared beyond belief, but she was also angry and frustrated. She was then elated that she had killed them. Allie White is no longer afraid of the Scythian Drachnae.

Thank the freaking gods.

The only scary thing about the Scythian Drachnae was that they killed her, nothing more and nothing less.

As they walked back to the Doors, Castor and her held hands. Allie was happy that she killed them. She has never felt better.

Allie walked ahead of the group with Castor, considering that she knew the place the best because she had been there the most and that Castor had been there recently alongside her.

"Do we turn left here?" Castor asked her. "Yeah." She said.

All of their weapons were out. They were ready for an attack. Allie turned around to face the group. They all followed her with bravery and courage; they were on high alert.

Allie gripped her sword until her knuckles turned white. Her face was in a snarl as if she was trying to scare off any monsters that came their way.

Her eyes squinted to see what lay ahead, and to her dismay, she saw a wall of darkness coming towards them.

Uh ohhhh
Stuffs gonna go down
