A Pirates Life For Me

Chapter 13

Percy's POV

By the time they'd given me my next 'meal', I'd already carved the spoon to a point sharp enough to pierce the skin.

I snickered. Luke had no clue what he was dealing with. I'd escaped from jail more times than I can count.

All I had to do was sharpen the spoon till I could use it as a weapon next time they bought food, then it was as simple as killing any soldiers in my path, then sneaking through the city via some secret passages (thanks Leo). By the time Luke noticed I was gone I'd be racing towards the Princess Andromeda, ready to gather my crew to rescue Annabeth.

And I would rescue Annabeth.

Running my plan over in my head, I grinded the edge of the spoon against the metal bed frame. It was a wonder the stupid guards hadn't noticed the small pile of silver powder on the floor.

I poked the tip of my finger with the point of my newly crafted weapon, drawing a small amount of blood.

It was definitely sharp enough now.

I stood on the bed to peek outside the small, barred window.

The sun was starting to go down, which meant the guard would be bringing my dinner soon. The perfect time to put my escape plan to action.

I'd been here long enough to recognise their rotations, meal times, as well as who was laziest on the job.

If my timing was right, the laziest guard in the entire should be on duty about now.

Perfect, I thought. Bring it on Luke.

Leo's POV

After the leaders discussed whether or not we could trust di Angelo (it was decided we could, though we must've share any damaging information with him), the rest of us pirates gathered on the beach of Ogygia with Calypso.

Ever since meeting her, I couldn't get over how beautiful she was. I thought many girls were beautiful, but Calypso was stunning.

We crowded the glowing bronze disc, which had become our way of checking in on Percy and Annabeth thanks to Calypso's magic.

On the bronze screen, a large room filled the picture.

In the room, Annabeth paced fretfully, tugging her curly hair and biting at her nails. She was alone, but still with no means on escape.

The scene changed to show a small cell, a stark contrast to Annabeth's luxury lockup. Percy was sitting on the bed, examining the point of what must've been a knife, though how he got it, I had no idea.

"Is that a spoon?" Piper raised an eyebrow.

Nico shrugged. "He always was very resourceful."

"So, he already has an escape plan." Reyna pointed out.

Nico seemed to go a bit red. "Yes, but…."

The scene changed to show Luke. He was standing on the dock, soldiers perched along the coastline, blocking Percy's way of escape.

"He's been watching Percy as well." I said, shocked.

We turned to Thalia, the only one who was acquainted with Luke.

She looked as hopeless as the rest of us.

Things started clicking in my head, the others clearly working out the same thing. "But if he knows what Percy's doing-"

Reyna nodded. "Then he probably knows what we're doing to. He's seen you talk with Annabeth and discuss a plan."
