Chapter Β

"No!" She faught against the ropes holding her to the wall. Her wrists were bleeding and her legs wobbled, but her priority was to protect the sleeping boy in front of her. His breathing was ragged and he shivered every now and then. He had a deep cut on his forehead and his back was a bloody mess. Dryed tears stained his cheeks and his fists were clenched. Annabeth wanted to cry. She wanted to cry for her boyfriend and for herself. "Please, take me, but give him a day off." She didn't like begging, but this was about her Seaweed brain. Tartarus raised an eyebrow. (Does he has eyebrows if his face is a vortex of purple swirls?) "Why should I?" Annabeth took a shaky breath. "H-he won't survive if you keep doing this to him." He chuckled. "Who said that wasn't what I wanted?" Her eyes widened. "You want him to die." Tartarus grinned. "He is strong and I am keeping him alive for now, so I can have more time with him, because I really enjoy our bonding time, but even I can't keep his heart beating if he gives up. When he wants to die, and he will some day, then I will let him." Annabeth shook her head. She didn't believe him. Percy was strong, he was her Seaweed brain and he would live, they would survive this. She bit her lip as doupt let fear rise in her. They would survive that, right? He wouldn't give up, would he? Annabeth looked at the little form in front of her. He looked so fragil, curled up and shivering every two seconds. He wasn't supposed to seem little. He was the savoir of Olympus for gods sake. He was a hero. But even a hero can break sometimes. Tartarus laughed at her fearful face. "Let's wake the little hero, shall we?" Annabeth pulled on her chains again. "No, don't you dare go anywhere near him!" The primordial winked at her mockingly, before stepping on Percy's already broken rips. His eyes shot open, and Annabeth could hear his quiet scream of agony as she closed her eyes, trying to forget the pained look in those sea green eyes she loved so much. A tear run down her face as she heard his stuttered words, his voice full of fear. "N-no, please, l-let me alone. I-I will do anything, j-just stop this." She could also hear the cruel laugh of the pit as he began his daily torture, and she could hear the heart wrenching screams and the pained begging for mercy from her boyfriend as he had to bear the agony and fear. She finally let a sob escape her lips and cried for the first time in weeks.

Piper POV:

I leaned against the stone wall and sighed. I was hungry, but Seer forbid the guards to give me any food, since I still refused work with them. Another thing that bothered me was, that Seer got more and more... I didn't know how to put it. He touched me more and even kissed me one time. I could still feel his disgusting lips on mine. That was the first time I really hated someone. I was afraid he would try something more the next time. I was brought out of my thoughts by the cracking of the door. Speaking of the devil. As Seer closed the door again and the lights turned on, I could see his skinny body. "What do you want?" I croaked, my throat dry. He grinned and stepped closer. "The same thing as every time I come here. Answers. And today, we will finally get them." My eyes widened a bit, but I showed no other emotions. He grabbed me by my arm and led me outside the little cell. His other hand went around my waist and I stiffened. I could feel his sweaty hands on my body, under my shirt. My heart beat rapidly and it took way too long to reach the familiar cave where Lana was in her cage. I scowled at the thought of my friend being in a cage. We were extremely close after seeing each other every day. Seer let go of me and I sighed in relieve. He opened the door and pushed me inside, not before grazing my breasts. I clenched my teeth, but ignored him as I entered. "Hey, Lana." She grinned weakly at me and my anger rose as I saw the new wound on her shoulder that still oozed with blood. "You ok?" She was about to reply, but Seer beat her to it. "Lord Tartarus had more important things to do than to visit her today." The way he said that made me shiver. Something was defenitifly wrong. "He prepared your persuasion." As if on cue, the door opened again and the pit himself entered. Arallana took a sharp breath and I retreated a few steps. He radiated pure evil and I could feel the fear inside of me. What I saw next made me cry out. In front of him laid a person. I could barely recognize him, his limps twisted and his hole body covered in blood, but the sea green eyes were unmistakably. Percy Jackson.
I choked on my words, slowly walking towards him. Tartarus let me and I kneeled infront of my friend. A few tears escaped my eyes as I saw his pained expression. His eyes were half open and clouded in pain. He trembled and I carefully reached down and touched his shoulder. He winced and more tears ran down my cheek. Who would be so cruel and do something like that? The answer stood right infront of me. I stood up and took a fee steps toward the primordial. "You will pay." Tartarus just laughed. "I don't think so, do you Perseus?" Percy cringed as he heard his name, trying to crawl away. Tartarus grabbed his arm hard and twisted it and I could hear the crack of the bone. Percy opened his mouth, but no sound came out. "Stop!", I cried, running towards him and cradled his head in my lap. "It's ok, Percy, I am here." Tears streamed down his face and I looked at Tartarus who had stepped back. "What do you want?" My voice wavered. "I want you to get me answers. Bring Arallana to answer you and I won't kill him." I gulped and looked between Arallana, who shook her head slightly and Percy, who laid passed out in my lap. I closed my eyes and made my decision. "F-fine, I will do it." Our captor grinned. "Good girl." I forced my shallow breathing to go back to normal and turned to Arallana. "I am sorry", I whispered. I took a deep breath. "How do we wak-" "STOP!!!" I spun around and saw blond princess curls running towards me.
