Silently Screaming

Chapter 6: Who to shoot?

(Hi guys! I have been itching to write this chapter for AGES. So hope you like it. It is 3:33 pm and I have an announcement. In the previous chap, for some reasons, Bianca's lines did not get underlined so it looks like Bianca is not singing at all. I don't know what happened but I do know that Bianca had an equally important role singing, but it looks like that Annabeth has been singing Bianca's lines. False. Anyway, hope you enjoy the chapter!)

Previously:

Suddenly, the door burst open. The man who was chasing me was standing there.
"WHERE IS ANNABETH CHASE?" he yelled.
Everyone stared at me.
I gulped.

Bianca POV

I stared at Annabeth who had visibly paled. I looked around to see everyone staring at my friend and frowned. Why did this man want her?
"Why do you want her?" Thalia asked fiercely, stomping in front of everybody. "Me and Annabeth have... Business to attend to." He replied. "Come in boys." Loads of other men came in and surrounded us. "Everyone go down to the basement or I will shoot this girl." He said grabbing Thalia and putting the gun to her temple. She gulped but said nothing. Everyone obeyed and we walked downstairs.

The basement was huge. I don't even know why we had one in the first place, big waste of space. All of us went on one side and the men vanished and only the main one stood in front of us all. He held a bag. He opened it and out fell Annabeth. "What the hell?!" I yelled.
"Shut up!" The man yelled. We all shut up. He drew a chalk line in front of us. "No one goes over this line or you die." Then he picked up Annabeth and threw her against the wall.

Annabeth POV

The man picked me by the neck and threw me against the wall. I said nothing since it happened every day. But everyone else wasn't used to it. "ANNABETH!" Thalia screamed. I raised my head and gave a small smile. Everyone stared at me. "You- He just- You just got thrown against a wall!" Rachel cried. I shrugged and stood up. The man came up to me and punched my face and kicked my stomach then grabbed my neck and picked me up. "Unhand the girl this instant!" Mrs Dodds yelled. Mrs Dodds? Standing up for me? That was new. The man ignored her and threw me against the wall again. I slumped to the floor and coughed. "Oh, my gods." I heard Piper say.

I looked at the man. "You seem familiar." I said to him.
"Don't recognize me, do you? Miss Chase."
I gasped. It was him. My mum's murderer. "IT WAS YOU!" I screamed. "YOU WERE THE WHO KILLED MY MOM!" Everyone gasped. "Y-you killed her." I said tears falling of my face. I scrambled away from him. "Why?" I asked.

"Your mother was quite feisty, like you." He said. "She jumped right in front of you to save your life."
"Who was the other guy?" I asked. "WHO WAS IT?!"
"Gabe Ugliano." The man said. I heard Percy gasp. I looked at him and he looked so shocked.
"Y-you and that man killed my mom!" I screamed. "Who are you then? Mr Sh*t?"
He frowned and kicked my face. I heard screeches and sat up. "I am Luke Castellan."
"Luke Castellan and Gabe Ugliano." I repeated. "Now I know what to tell the police." He punched my gut and hit my face. "You won't be able to tell the police because you'll be dead."

"Don't touch her!" Bianca screamed.
"Ahh, Bianca di Angelo." Luke drawled.
"How do you know my name?"
"I know everyone who Annabeth knows. You're the sister of the guy that despises this dumb blonde."
"Don't. Call. Annabeth. Dumb." Bianca said fiercely. Luke lunged out and grabbed Bianca and pulled her in the middle. "Don't touch her." I said firmly. "You touch anyone else here, you die."

He laughed and ignored me. "And we have Percy Jackson." I tensed up.
"What does any of this have to do with him?"
"He hates you too, right? You've been in pain because of your former friends, let them have a taste of their own medicine." He grabbed a little boy.
"Tyson Blofis." Luke said.
"Leave him alone!" Percy cried at the same time I said, "Let go of him!"
