I opened my eyes and was my friends floating in the darkness. I cab se them so clearly in the dark. Weird.

I tryed to get over to them by swimming. I saw evertone but Haley.

"Percy?" I heard behind me.

I looked at the person that called me. Annabeth.

"Annabeth are you okay." I said swimming over to her.

"Yea, is everyone okay?" She asked everyone. They allbsaid yes and swam to me and Annabeth.

"Where is Haley?" Hazel asked.

"I don't know, but-."

A screamed came from no where. I turned around and there was a hole.

"Go!" Annabeth yelled. And we swam to the hole. But instead of going out that hole another one formed behind us. Sucking us in. I looked at the hole we were trying to get to. A firgure came in. Haley.

"Haley!" Nico screamed. He tryed to swim hardher trying to get to her but the vortect was too hard.

We got pulled in and a light came past us.

It grabbed Haley threw her toward us. She was floating to us super fast. Nico caught her and was thrown in the hole.

"Nico!" Hazel screamed. She turned to the hole and went to savw him. Then frank grabbed her. But they stopped swimming and was sucked in. I turned to Piper and Jason to my left while Annabeth and Leo was on the right.

Leo just gave up. Piper grabbed Jasons hand and pulled him in. I looked at Annabeth and she nodded. We turned and swam right into the hole.

We went through the hole and fell. I opened my eyes and everyone was standingup.looling around. Well, Nico was carrying Haley.

I stood up and helped Annabeth up too.

"What is this place?" I asked.

"I don't know." Jason said.

I walked over to the wall. We are in a box.
I put my hands on it and pushed.
The wall started to fall. It opened up to slides. What?

Everyone came over and looked.

"Haley are you okay?" I heard Nico say.

"Yea. I am."

He set her down and she.looked at the slides. She looked at Nico and gave him a questioning look. He shrugged his shoulders.

Demigoss please slide to your destination please. Also your must find a way out.of.the box to live. There will be all of your fears inhere tonmake it more fun.
You will have all the time in the world and food served three times a day. Good luck.
I looked at Haley. She was mad. She looked at the slides. She walked over to it and jumped.
I looked at everyone else. I jumped and so did everyone else. And we slide right into water.

~Haley

I hit water and breathed in. Its air. Its an illusion. I hit the groud and stood up. Everyone else came down and stood up. Everyone but Percy.
He was trying to swim up.

He can't breathe. I ran to him.

"Its air not water." I told him. He shook his head crazly and stood up trying to run up the slide to gdt air. Fear. His fear of drowning. He was going to passout if he don't breathe.

I grabbed him by the arm and dragged him away from the slide. He looked blue.

"Percy its not water. Its and illusion. Look everyone is breathing." He looked around. Then he took a breathe. And he looked around again.

"But as soon as I hit the water I couldn't breathe." He said almost crying.

"Percy do you really thing that we are going to drown?" I asked him.
He nodded.

"Percy, we are childern of Poseidon, its one of our powers to not drown." I said helping him up to his feet.

He nodded his head and Annabeth walked over to him and hugged him and whispered something in his ear.

"Okay guys. Time to confess our fears." I said.

Everyone kind of got scared.

"Annabeth." I said.

"Spiders."

"Piper."

"Fear its self."

"Jason."

"Falling out of the sky."

"Frank."

"Fire."

"Hazel."

"Labyrinth." She looked at me with scared eyes.

"Leo."

"Nothing."
I glared at him. Really now. Really.

"Nico."

"Darkness. Being alone."

"Okay lets get going."

"What about you Haley?" Leo asked.

"I don't know what fears I have."

I really don't know. I mean there is a difference between fear and being scared.

Another wall fell down and a wide hallway opened up. I walked down it first and everyone followed.

I felt the hallway shake.

"Everyone stand together!" I said. They group up and had weapons out.

The stoped and everyone put there weapons away. I turned to them.

"Okay I don't know whos fear this is but I think its Hazels. But we have to stick closely together." I said and the walls shifted. I looked around and saw the walls move. I press my hand against the moving wall and it wasn't really moving.

"It not rea-"

"Haley!" Leo yelled.

I looked at my hand. Something grabbed my hand and pulled me through.
