Gut Feelings

▸Fear Is A Liar - Zach Williams

I woke up to someone shaking me away. A groan slipped past my lips as I fluttered my eyes. Grover was looming over me with worry.

"Oh thank the gods you're alright, Nevah!" Grover pulled me into a tight hug. I embraced him back, placing my head on his shoulder. I took in my environment noting that we were in some sort of empty closet or room.

"Are you okay?" I placed my hands on his shoulders after I pulled away from the hug. I observed his face, noticing cuts. "How badly they did they hurt you? Are you in pain? Schist, I wish I had some ambrosia-"

"I'm fine." Grover belated out, smacking my hands away. "How about you?"

"Good question..." I trailed off, looking at some of the scares that stayed behind from Gerard's torture. "Physically, all I have are scars now."

"Hey, they're out there looking for you, for us. We'll get out of here soon. I promise." Grover said, placing a comforting arm around my shoulder. I smiled up at him, leaning against my friend.

"How'd you know I was here?" I asked.

"Call it a gut feeling. I figured you'd be back somewhere near Beacon Hills." Grover stated.

"How's Percy and Stiles?" I mumbled a yawn as exhaustion came.

"Worried beyond belief. Percy's acting just how you were when he went missing. Stiles' losing his mind with searching for you and someone name Derek Hale." Grover told me. "But hey, they'll find us soon. They knew I was heading to Beacon Hills. So they can deduct that I'll be between here and San Francisco with the other demigods."

"Have you communicated with Percy through the link yet?" I questioned, my eyes fluttering.

"I did, hopefully he got it. He'll find us, don't worry." Grover gave me shoulder a squeeze.

"I know he will. I just don't know if we'll be alive by that time." I admitted. "It's obvious that Gerard's and Monroe's patience with me is running thin. I won't be surprised if they plan on killing me sometime soon."

"I won't let that happen." Grover looked down at me. "I'll come up with some."

"Trust me, I know." I smiled up at Grover, yawning again. "I'm-I'm gonna take a quick nap. Wake me up if anything happens."

"Will do." Grover mumbled.

I closed my eyes, hoping that the sleep will take me away from this harsh reality. The door to our prison slammed open. I shot up onto my feet, putting myself in front of Grover.

"Grab her." Monroe nodded at her men. I sighed rolling my eyes. Four hunters entered the room. I rolled my shoulders back ready to fight. The first hunter came at me. I ducked, swinging my fist at their jaw. Grover kicked someone in the face behind me. As I moved onto the third hunter, the fourth managed to prick my arm. The third hunter pushed Grover against the wall as the rest grabbed a hold of me, dragging me as I kicked and struggled. "Just give up already, Nevah."

"Never. I'll never give up." I spat, kicking her in the thigh. She hissed and closed the door, locking Grover in the room I was just in. They dragged me into the room that I shared with the werewolf couple. Ethan was already strung up. My eyes widened as I noticed a large group of people standing to the side watching us with fear and hatred. "What the hell?"

"Hang her up quickly." Monroe ordered. The hunters handcuffed me next to Ethan. He gave me a small smile. Sighing I gave him one as well. "Here, we are going to show you just how dangerous the supernatural are and how you guys can fight them."
