 Percy felt like crap. He had a killer head ache and felt really woozy. What the heck was going on? Then he remembered. Alex shot me! Percy thought. But that was discarded from his brain. “Annabeth?” He muttered trying to fight against the tranquilizer. He felt someone pick him up and hearing a voice that sounded very far away. “Man, this is the biggest wolf I’ve ever seen- and the heaviest.” Percy growled. Then another voice comes- louder and clearer than the last, “What? How is this monster wakening up! I shot him with a tranquilizer that will knock out an elephant for 2 days!”

“Well than get him into the cage, and fast!” Percy’s brain was still in trance but it was wearing off. Fast. He twitched his foot. Then is tail. Soon enough he could move his head. Which then Percy snapped his head around taking in where he was. Alex and Jonathan were carrying him to the cages in the back room of were they worked. No!  Percy thought as he tried to leap from their grip. But Percy barley moved. It did freak out his co-worked a lot.

They freaked and ran through open the door. In there Percy could finally move. He broke the grip with ease but the was nowhere to go before Percy realized he jumped into a cage. The door that lead into the cage was closed before Percy could do any thing. Jonathan looked at Percy, then turned to Alex “Geez, what kind of wolf species if that?” Jonathan shrugged “How would I know? But look at them they are hurt. They need to get a checkup. Man I wonder when Percy will get here. Boss is so mad right now.”

Crap! Percy thought. Boss is looking for me but he won’t be able to! Then another thing flashed through his mind, Annabeth! Percy looked around and then behind him. There was Annabeth. She was lying down and asleep. Percy went over to her and lay down behind her. He turned his head back to Alex and Jonathan, who were still in the room watching him Alex said “ Come on, lets go. Leave the wolf and his mate to sleep.” They walked out of the room.

Percy watched them go and then put his head down next to Annabeth in a protective position.

(LINE BREAK)

 

Annabeth got a very rude wake up call. All she wanted to do was to get closer to Percy and sleep more. BANG! Came again. Annabeth’s head shot up. “What going on?” she said very annoyed of being woken up. Percy was already up. Growling at something. Then she realized she was in a cage. A cage! She scampered up and went beside Percy. “Why are they trying to wake me up?” Annabeth asked. Percy turned toward her “I don’t know.”

Then in a flash right when Percy was saying that one of the hollering guy had a restraining leash on Annabeth. She yelped with surprise, and then they dragged her out of the cage. She couldn’t move. They had a firm grip on it. Also Annabeth felt weak she couldn’t really do anything. Annabeth was terribly hungry. Her stomach was gnawing on her insides. And then pile on the baby.

Percy growled but then whimpered, knowing he couldn’t do anything. The other person had the cage Percy is in shut except for a part that another restraining lease was poking in. “It’s a smart wolf lets see what it will do.” One said,  “Ok. Come one, wolf. If ya want to stay with your mate, let me put the lease on.” Annabeth heard Percy sigh then stepped closer. The man pulled the thin wire around Percy’s neck and then opened the cage.

Percy immediately went toward Annabeth. But the leash pulled him short. Percy let out a cry of pain. He almost falls to the ground. Annabeth rushes toward him instead of being restrained because the others are freaking out “What happened?” one cried. While she got closer Annabeth felt selfish. She had forgotten Percy’s really bad wound. The wound looked it started to bleed again darkening his fur. The men looked closer and realized how badly he was hurt.

“Come one lets get him into a room so we can make sure its ok” one of them said. Annabeth and Percy stared to walk together with the annoying leases. “Percy? Are you ok?”  Percy turned toward Annabeth “ I'm ok. I just… surprised me.” Annabeth not being convinced licked his muzzle “hopefully they can wrap it up so it will stay on while you’re in wolf form.” Percy looks at Annabeth “You to. Look at you shoulder. And you look like your going to past out.”

“I feel like I'm going to.” But Annabeth tried to but a brave smile on even though she was trembling. Then Alex- Annabeth thinks his name is- comes over and puts a muzzle over Percy and Annabeth’s jaws. Neither of them fought to not get them to put the muzzle on. The men looked surprised as how much they didn’t move. They grabbed us both and put us a metal table in the middle of the room that led us into. Alex and Jonathan were now talking “Are the sick? They don’t even seem to be able to fight anymore. They were fighting us of so hard yesterday. Did they eat any of the food?”

Annabeth perked up at thought of food. She is so hungry. And thirsty.  The two men didn’t notice her plea and continued talking “I with Percy was here. He’s like a wolf whisper. I don’t know how he doses it.” Percy barked at them saying, “You think I'm a wolf whisper? I am a wolf!” Both of them startled looked at Percy. “Geez, it scared me. Hey, do you think that they came understand us?”

Annabeth had to stop the urge to roll her eyes. Wow, they’re as dumb as Percy is. Then the door opened and another man walked in. He looked at Percy and then at Annabeth. “Hm…Where did you pick these two up?” He asked the co-workers. “Um.” One of them stammered. Then Jonathan said “they were wondering the streets, we caught them in a ally.”

The man nodded, “They seem like they have had a few rough days. I gonna fix them up.” He picked up a bottle put some cream onto his hands rubbed it gently across Percy still bleeding wound. Percy made a sound of relief. Then he smoothed it over Annabeth’s shoulder. She closed her eyes. It made the pain go away. She didn’t realize how much the wounds were effecting them. He wrapped her up. Annabeth lay down and sighed with relief.

That was nice, Percy thought. He didn’t Annabeth but he almost past out earlier. The doctor, he had never seen him before, was putting bandages on his shoulder like with Annabeth. Percy waited for him to finish. Percy looked at Annabeth. She was lying down. “Annabeth, you awake?”

“No.” she answered. Percy laughed, but inside he was worried for her. He wished he could tell his friends to give them something to eat. He was starving, and Annabeth looked like she was too. Percy looked at the doctor and whinnied trying to see if they would give them food. Thankfully it got through, because Jonathan asked, “Do you think they’re hungry?” Percy didn’t care if the noticed they weren’t really wolves, he started nodding his head. They all looked at him and then Alex said “Well I guess so…” They grabbed us off the table and put us on the ground they lead us to the door.

We are back in the cage. But they gave us food. So Percy and Annabeth were eating even though it was dog food. Annabeth was happy. She also didn’t look like she was going to collapse any more. “ Annabeth” Percy said, “After we get some sleep we will find a way. After everyone is gone.”

“Ok” Annabeth replied while she lied down. Percy didn’t go to sleep as fast as Annabeth. He was thinking of how to get out of here, but when he did, he went into a deep sleep.
