Brians POV

I felt storm start to move so i looked up, for a second it looked like she didn't know where she was. When she tried to sit up her chains stopped her, she instantly panicked, attracting the attention of will and Thalia. "Shhhh, shhh, storm you're OK, you don't need to panic, your safe." i tried to calm her down, it didn't work and she started to cry. She curled up straining her chains, tugging at them like she was a animal in a trap and she looked terrified. "Storm, i need you to calm down." will said in a doctor-y tone but it didn't look like it helped. I got an idea, yeah it was stupid, but it was something. "Will, we need to take off the chains." i said trying to sound like it wasn't the worst idea I've ever had. "Are you crazy! We'll never get her down!" will yelled which made storm panic, ever since i found her she'd been almost scared of sound. We had told will this but he didn't listen. "Look i know what i'm doing." i said and grabbed the key from Thalia, and unlocked the arm bracelets. Once she was free i grabbed her in a hug, soothing her and trying to calm her down. She started to breath properly now, she still had tears running down her face as she hugged me, holding me like a lifeline. She didn't even notice will and Thalia staring at her in amazement. I knew storm, she lived with an abusive mother for thirteen years thinking her father abandoned her, if that didn't break her, then what ever happened must have been tougher. "Storm, i know this must be hard for you but i need you to tell me what happened." i say in a soothing tone. She started shaking just thinking about it. She spoke and her voice was shaky as she explained what had happened.
