Chapter Α

(A/N): So, I am finished with the alphabet for my chapter names, so I will just use them again.

Was that really necessary? He couldn't stand in his own, every breath hurt like a knife cutting his throat in little pieces and he couldn't even scream, since his throat was bloody and dry from dehydration, and Tartarus chained him to the wall nevertheless. He was in a sitting position, his limbs, torso and head immobilized through the chains around them. His fear rose steadily and his heart beat wildly. What was Tartarus going to do to him? The pit laughed. "Is someone afraid?" Percy couldn't reply, his throat too dry to let one word escape his lips. He faught to stay conscious, his earlier torture straining him too much to open his eyes. Tartarus knelt next to him and wisphered, " You are sleepy. Let's see if I can do something against that." A second later, a cold liquid washed over the boy and he gasped. Water. He wasn't tired anymore, but he shivered from the cold. He wasn't able to control this water. He cought and blinked the liquid out of his eyes. Why was it so cold? Tartarus kicked Percy's ankle and he looked up. "Are you cold?" Percy just closed his eyes again, a shudder running up his spine. Why couldn't Tartarus just leave him alone? He knew he should answer the question, but he couldn't. He couldn't make a sound. "I think you are cold, but I can do something against that, too." Dread settled down in his bones. Tartarus took something from behind him, Percy following his every movement with his eyes. A bunch of wires. He hooked two on each of Percy's arms, three on each leg and two on his chest. Then he grinned and hooked one under his chin, sending a shudder through Percy's body. There was a glint in the pit's eyes, glee, delight, anticipation. "Don't worry Perseus. You will be warm in a second." Percy tried to shake his head, but the chain around his scull stopped him. He looked at his torturer beggingly, but he just laughed. Tartarus stepped aside to reveal a machine connected to the wires. Without warning he turned it on. Percy opened his mouth in a silent scream as electricity courses through his body. Hot pain burned his nerves, making his body go numb, the machine sending new waves of pain through him every second. He wanted to curl up and block out the pain, but he was paralysed. A new wave of electricity run through him and he could hear Tartarus's laugher, feeling his satisfaction and his glee. "S-stop." One word, the only thing he could stotter out through the pain and silent screams. It burned, it hurt so much. Why did it hurt so much? He let the tears flow as he slowly drifted away in the world of darkness. Why did it hurt so much?

Clarisse POV:

After 45 minutes of walking, we finally found the train station. "Guys, let's hurry back and tell the boys," said Annabeth, taking the lead. Fenja and I nodded and we went back. It was a bit strange that we didn't get attacked so far and I voiced my thoughts. "Why weren't we attacked yet? Percy and Luke should have attracted a lot of monsters, and Fenja too." Fenja shook her head. "I don't know, but I am happy for it. I just hope the others have the same luck as we." "Yeah, hopefully." Annabeth sounded thoughtful. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, let's just head back." I got the feeling she knew something we didn't, but I shrugged it of. We continued walking to the hut, but half way there we heard a scream. Annabeth stopped dead in her tracks. She recognized the scream, we all did.

Percy.

"No, no, no", she muttered, slightly panicked. "Why is it always him?" She said, more to herself then us. Without a warning, she sprinted towards the scream. I looked at Fenja and she shrugged, starting to run herself. We found Annabeth hiding behind a dry bush, her eyes wide in horror. I peered between two boughs and suppressed a gaps. I saw a black swirling vortex, a portal, and a giant with snakey hair. (A/N: Is 'snakey' even a word?) "Polybotes," I heard Annabeth mutter. The giant was holding two lifeless bodys, two boys. The one had blood running down his face, his dark hair almost red, while the other one had something white sticking out his side, a bone. Annabeth had tears in her eyes as she saw the bloody face of Percy, while Fenja's expression was blank, showing no emotions at all. "We gotta help them," I whispered, reaching for my spear, but Fenja stopped me. "We can't do anything for now. I guess they will be taken to the place were Arallana is, so we have to save all three of the at once." "Four." I raised my eyebrow at Annabeth. "What?" She sighed. "We have to save four people. Piper was kidnapped, Jason I-Med me earlier." I face-palmed. "Great. Now we have to find four people. We were supposed to free one person! We don't have the equipment for that! And how do we get there in time?" Fenja made a thinking face. "I can get you there. I can open a portal, but I will be out for three or four hours after that. You can either rescue them alone, or wait for me to wake up. It's your choice." Annabeth considered that for a second. "We will go in alone, so you can rest. We will hide you somewhere and come back after we got Piper, Percy, Luke and Arallana. Is that ok?" We nodded. "Then let's go", she said, determination shining in her eyes. Tartarus, here we come.
