Percy is the prince of Olympia, and Annabeth has been his best friend for years. But everything changes when he picks her name as one of the girls for the Selection. Will they be able to finally admit their feeling so each other, before the time runs out?

They were just kids, just a few carefree teens hoping to enjoy a lunch. It all happened so fast, the glass shattering. Then the shots, the shots that ruined everything. And the screams, the screams that would haunt them forever, the screams of the injured, the screams of the soon-to-be dead. The blood, the loss. Now, they were no longer accepted in society. They were considered freaks. Wrong in the brain. People thought that they didn't understand what was going on, people talking about them from closed doors. Calling them names. They weren't idiots, people just thought they were. They were broken, and it's very, very, steep, uphill climb from here. They were hostages. They are hostages. --------------------------- Nico and Hazels sister is dead Frank can't walk Leo is a mute Percy is anxious and afraid and stutters Annabeth is scared Jason is trying to move on Piper is trying to forget
