Percy POV

There was a piercing screech of tyres as the van came to a sudden stop.

For a while, all I could hear was the panting coming from my friends. I could only imagine how freaked out they were right now—none of them knew what was happening. I hadn't even told Grover about my half brother who also happened to be a bit of a psychopath. He'd be pissed about that for sure.

I was surprised at how calm I was. My heartbeat was steady. My body firm with assurance. I think when you grow up in this world, things like kidnappings don't scare you anymore. You become so used to the darkness that it becomes your home. I'd already learned to summon the devil and dance with monsters in the night—to me this was just another day.

Maybe that's not such a good thing but it was keeping me level-headed for now.

The doors rolled open.

"Everyone out, now!" Raf yelled.

We were all blindfolded but they took no care in directing us out safely so half of us stumbled across the floor. I had to help Silena up a few times and ended up holding her hand for the entire thing.

"Move it!" Octavia snarled pressing a gun to the small of my back and Silena whimpered beside me. I guess she had a gun to her back too.

So I moved further into the darkness, keeping my hand firm for Silena's sake. She needed that security. And for now, we were the only things keeping each other sane.

I heard shuffling and a creaking door open and then we were shoved inside a building. I felt a carpet underneath my feet as Silena and I stumbled in. I could hear the others around me as we walked further and further into wherever the hell we were.

Octavia jerked me to a painful, sudden stop and the others all cried out so I assumed they'd been stopped abruptly too. Voices echoed across the wall and I could tell we were in a huge building—some kind of great hall or something.

I waited, breathing heavily and tightening my grip on Silena's hand. Whisperings filled the air and a cold chill ran up my spine as my body began to stiffen.

Something wasn't right here.

Suddenly, the blindfold was ripped off my head and I blinked a couple of times trying to focus on my surroundings. It looked like an old abandoned theatre. We must be in a remote area because this place looked like it was falling apart with dusty red chairs and a large broken chandelier draped over some of the seats. I looked up to see where it had been snapped off the ceiling and saw that the roof was in pieces too with peeling plaster, planks and pipes sticking out in odd places.

I glanced at the others to check they were alright. No one seemed to be hurt just yet but the thought of not being hurt 'yet' made my stomach twist. That's when it really hit me.

Maybe I wasn't scared for myself but I was sure as hell scared for my friends. This wasn't like old times where it was just me caught up in shady business out on the streets. I actually had something to lose now. And that uncertainty left a sickening feeling inside of me.

What was Raf planning on doing to us?

I suddenly started to think about Annabeth. She'd probably be at school right now, worrying her pretty little head over where I am. I'd give anything to just be able to go back there and be with her instead of standing here with the last family member I'd ever want to see.
