Chapter χ

All she felt was pain. Her body was on fire and her lungs burned. She knew exactly why he did this to her. He wanted to hurt her boyfriend mentally, not really his style, but it worked. Her seaweed brain was hurting, because she was too weak to withstand what was inflicted upon her. She had barely time to took another breath before her head went underwater again. Annabeth trashed around, but she had no strength left. Just before she fell unconscious, he lifted her head up again. She sputtered and cought the water out of her lungs. "Oh Perseus? Why aren't you helping your little girlfriend. She can't do this any longer." She was about to spat that she could do this, but her head was pushed under the surface again. Her tears mixed with the water and she could hear the muffled laugher from her torturer and the screams from her boyfriend, begging him to stop. Slowly, everything faded into blackness, and the burning in her lungs subsided. She went limp and let the darkness take her away.
Percy watched in horror as his Wise girl stopped moving. Tartarus pulled her head out of the water and let her limp body fall to the ground. "Why are you called a hero? You can't even save the person you love the most from your own domain." I gulped. My heart clenched and fear rushed through me. "I-is she d-dead?" Tartarus shook his head. "Just unconscious. I will let you kill her. One day, you will kill her to save your own skin. Believe it or not." The boy looked at him wide eyed. He would never ever do that. Not even if he would have to stay in this hell hole forever. It was his Wise girl they were talking about after all, but Tartarus knew that, so what was making him so sure? "W-why c-couldn't I control the w-water?" Tartarus grinned. "The chains. Polybotes helped me a little and we managed to cut off your powers about water through them." My breath quickened. If I couldn't control water, was I able to breath in it? Could I heal with it? He laughed at my fear. "No sea spawn. You aren't, and I am going to make you fear your own domain." With that happy note he left, leaving me with my blacked out girlfriend alone in a cold cell in the depths of Tartarus.

Annabeth POV:

I didn't expect what I saw. I didn't expect it at all. Monsters? Sure. Titans? If it has to be. But that? No way. Whoever did that should run. Laughing next to me was my idiotic boyfriend. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. "Please don't tell me you did this." He shook his head and whistled innocently. "Me? Noo." I turned my gaze back to the problem outside the little hut. Clarisse stood there, wearing make-up and a pink princess dress, her hair curled and in a high ponytail.



She was red-faced and seething with anger. "JACKSON!!! I swear to the gods, I will kill you and then I will bring you back and kill you again. Where did you even get that stupid dress?" Percy grinned. "A really nice Aphrodite girl helped me. Black hair, girlfriend of Charles Beckendorf, rings a bell?" I bit my lip to keep from laughing. Clarisse really looked strange in all the tulle and silk. How was she able to walk on those shoes? Clarisse clenched her fists. "I defenitifly have to talk to Silena about this, but first thing first. When I get out if this dress, I want a fight and you'll be my puching bag. Got it?" I couldn't prevent myself from laughing anymore as I saw the fake-scared face of Percy. "Umm, can we talk about that?" Clarisse was about to reply, when someone laughed behind me. Luke and Fenja stood in the doorway and Luke was laughing. He doubled over and clutched his stomach. "W-what the heck are you wearing?" Clarisse stomped her foot. "Ask Prissy." Luke raised an eyebrow and turned to Percy. "Where did you get the dress?" I laughed even harder at that. "Ask Clarisse. She knows." He frowned. "Okaay. So, what are we doing now?" Clarisse snort. "I will get out of this dress and then we have to look if we can find a train to Yellowstone national park." I nodded. "Good." I turned to Fenja. "You ok?" "Sure. Just a bit tired. Why don't we split up to find that train? The boys are one group, the girls another." Percy and Luke looked like they wanted to protest, but Fenja winked at me and I frowned. What was she up to? I sighed. "Fine. Luke, Percy. You go now while Fenja and I wait for Clarisse to change." Percy clenched his fists. "But..." "No buts. Go, now! We will meet here in three hours again." He lowered his head and I grinned victorusly. I watched as he and Luke disappeared in the distance. I turned to Fenja and Clarisse. "Get out of that dress Clarisse, than we can go." She nodded and went inside. "What are you up to?", I asked, raising an eyebrow at Fenja. She bit her lip. "If we want to safe my sister, Percy and Luke have to trust each other. You know the prophecy, don't you?" My hand laid in my Drakon sword. "How do you know about the prophecy?" She grinned. "I am on your side, but a few things shouldn't be said just yet. Wait 'till the time is right." I grittened my teeth. "I wan-" "We can go now." I turned around and saw Clarisse (in normal clothes) behind me. I glanced at Fenja for a moment and nodded. I was going to discover her secret. "Ok, let's go. We don't want the boys to find the train before us, do we?" Little did I know that it would be a long time before I'd see my seaweed brain again.

A/N: Soo, I am very sorry I took so long, but I just hadn't had any ideas. What do you think will happen? Why won't Annabeth see Percy again?
