   Annabeth's head pounded and not just because she had been beaten there.

HE DIED she watched him die, and she knew well enough to know that it is almost impossible to raise a spirit from the death.

"Oh it's not impossible." Luke said as if reading her thoughts. "Very difficult but not impossible, especially if you have help." The most gut wrenching, evil grin spread across his face. "Oh Annabeth, I did miss you. It's too bad you might have to die."

"What have you done with Percy?" She managed. "Don't hurt him! Please!" Tears streamed down her face.

"Well that's really not up to me now is it?" He walked over. "Your little friend at camp, has one day to attempt to save you, or Percy."

Annabeth's heart fell into her stomach. She knew she didn't want to know, but she had to ask.

"Where's Percy!" She tried to pull away as Luke got closer, but she ended up falling onto his lap.

Luke helped her into a sitting position next to him. "Oh Annabeth, we could be so happy together." He ran his fingers through her hair, and wiped the tears from her cheek. "What in the world made you choose him? That meek little child of Poseidon?"

Normally hearing somebody call Percy "Meek" could have made her laugh in agreement, but not now. Annabeth tried to gain her composure. "Where is Percy! you little piece of....."

Luke shook his head. "Now now, we wouldn't want to put the duct tape back on now would we?"

He stood up. "Really all this talk about Percy is really not making this any easier. But I guess I should tell you what going to happen."

"Yes!" She said. "You should! Where is Percy!"

"You see my dear you're being, uh, well Transported to a secret location in Main, whilst that boyfriend of yours is in Washington. We have selected one of your little friends from camp Half-Blood, and they will have one day to either rescue you or Percy. Sounds fun right?"

Annabeth felt as if she had fallen into Tartarus all over again. "I have one more question for you. Who have you selected from camp Half-Blood?"

He grinned.
