Practice Makes Perfect... Or Not

HELLO! 280 viewers, yay! Love you all for reading, and if you have any suggestions let me now! <3

P E R C Y POV

"So, Percy... What do you think you can do?" Max asked me for the tenth time this hour, it started to get really annoying. "I don't know!" I growled, banging my head on my cage repeatedly. She looked at me like I was insane for being annoyed at her! "Well you should find out soon." Nudge suggested happily, playing with the tip of her wing. I growled again putting my head in my hands. "I know this is difficult for you Perce," Max said quietly, "but this might really help us get out of here, and help you save your girlfriend." Max said trying to get my attention. She seemed to really want to get out of here, I mean , it was horrible here but there are worse things in the world. For example, monsters. Even though these kids don't seem to be demigods but they are no mortals. "Well then," Angel started, trying to make conversation. " Where are you from?" Do these kids even know the meaning of SECRET or NO or DANGER? "Like I told you, its better for all of you to not know my background." I said playing with a pebble in my cage. Max smirked, "Angel can just read your mind!" She sounded confident, and I was just about to diminish her confidence. "Actually Max, I cant." Angel said shocked. "It's like there are wall built up around the memories he doesn't want me to see." This time I smirked, and sat back in my cage satisfied with all the surprised faces around me, even Fang was showing his shock. "Um, Max?" Fang whispered still staring at me, "Does this seem weird to you or is it just me, Gazzy, and Iggy?" She looks back and Fang and shakes her head, and focuses back on me. "So, wolf DNA." I nod and she stares at me like she was examining me. "Well I have heard, urm, well Angel has heard in some Erasers minds that they have special abilities that have been triggered by activity. I, personally have never seen them, but they are here somewhere." I nod again and close my eyes. "But how in the world are we going to trigger my emotions?" That made everyone silent as we all stared at Max expectantly.  No one had an idea. "Wait!" Angel shouted interrupting the silence, "I was reading a whitecoats mind and it seems we are all going to have a certain test. They are going to put us in an arena and send Erasers in there, maybe that would give us time to figure out Percy's powers." That might be a good plan. but Max just shook her head. "Or, Angel, we could just fly out of the arena!" She stated it like it was obvious. "It's a dome arena, with a ceiling..." Angel said quietly and Max mumbled, "Oh." This was getting me excited, maybe there was a river or a pond, or maybe it could rain and I could send an Iris message back to Camp!  "Ya! Practice makes perfect right?" I said, trying not to explode with joy! "Well, practice doesn't make perfect when you don't really know what you're practicing." Fang said, earning a giggle from Gazzy. "Well then Fang do you have a better idea?" I quipped. Fang glared at me and I returned the stare, it seemed to unsettle him and I smirked at the accomplishment. Soon we all settled and tried to go to sleep...
