Apokirixye pov

I woke up early. Which was good because if my plan was to work I needed to do it before End's minions came to collect me.

When I opened my eyes I noticed two things:

One; the bread and water had been replaced with new bread and water.

And Two; Annabeth was laying against me asleep.

Oh gods. I thought. Does she like Apokirixye? Because Apokirixye certainly doesn't like her.

I moved her off of me, doing my best to not wake her.

Leo, Hazel, and Piper were asleep.

I woke them all up and handed them each what was left of the bread.

"You should eat too." Annabeth said.

"No, I'm taking the water. You need something." I said.

"Woah woah woah. Why are you taking all the water?" Leo asked.

"We're escaping. I have the ability to control water and fire. Because I don't have fire I'll have to make do." I said.

"I thought you couldn't use your powers." Hazel said.

"The water helped me regenerate some of my strength. It's like if a fire user touches fire." I said gesturing to Leo.

"Or like Percy did when he touched water." Piper added.

"Exactly. Except I can touch water or fire." I said. I took a drink of the water and felt some strength return. I put my hand on the lock and it opened easily.

We walked out and grabbed our weapons from a chest at the end of the hall. Then we snuck out of the room.

Since I summon my sword I didn't have a weapon. Which was fine because I had the water.

We snuck along the halls which were surprisingly empty. Only a few guards that Annabeth took out with stealth. Hazel could tell we were underground. So she lead us through until she said,

"There's no entrance to the above ground. The whole place is an underground fortress."

"I should have guessed." I said, trying not to let my anger and disappointment show too much.

"What is it?" Annabeth asked.

"We have to make a portal." I said.

"But you said you didn't have enough strength to do anything except control the elements if you touched them." Piper said.

"I won't be able to do it. But I might know someone who could." I said. Unfortunately this meant sort of telling them more about me. There was a good chance they would figure my identity but that didn't matter.
We had to escape.

"Wouldn't there be like a portal room or something?" Leo asked.

"Don't be ridiculous. End wouldn't leave a portal just sitting around." Me and Annabeth said at the same time.

We looked at each other kind of freaked out.

"Did you know I was going to say that?" She asked slowly.

"I swear to chaos I didn't." I said, kind of laughing.

"Ok that was freaky." Leo said.

"We don't have time for this." I said.

"So what are we looking for?" Hazel asked.

"Water. And a lot of it. Enough for us to completely submerge ourselves in." I said.
