CHAPTER TWO
OUR KIDNAPPING TAKES A ROCKY TURN
"I WOULD KILL YOU before you ever reached the water," Thorn spoke.
My eyes widened, Percy wasn't actually considering that? Right? He couldn't be there's no way he could survive. Thorn said, " You do not realize who I am, do you?"
Again another missile, projectile type thing shot in the air, in between me and Percy. I flinched, taking a step to the side.
"Unfortunately," Thorn said, "you are wanted alive, if possible. Otherwise, you would already be dead." I couldn't help but look at him confused, as far as Bianca, Nico, and I knew all we had were each other. Who could want us?
As if she was reading my mind Bianca asked, "Who wants us? Because if you think you'll get a ransom, you're wrong. We don't have any family. Nico, Maria, and I..." She stopped for a second, frowning.
"We've only got each other," I finished.
"Aww," Thorn said. "Do not worry, little brats. You will be meeting my employer soon enough. Then you will have a brand-new family." I raised an eyebrow, first, we get kidnapped, then we learn we're getting shipped off, now we're getting a new family? There must be a key piece in this I'm missing.
"Luke, you work for Luke," Percy said. So Percy knows what's happening, or at least way more than us.
Though Thorn looked at him with distaste, confusing me even more he said, "You have no idea what is happening, Perseus Jackson. I will let the General enlighten you. You are going to do him a great service tonight. He is looking forward to meeting you."
General? Luke? This was getting too weird and too confusing. I glanced at Percy who also looked confused, "The general?" Percy asked in a french accent. "I mean... who's the General?" I couldn't help but smile, it was a small one, of course, I was still extremely nervous, worried, and confused.
Thorn didn't answer, instead, he changed the topic, "Ah, here we are. Your transportation" He looked at the horizon.
I could vaguely see a light and as it got closer the sound did too. It was helicopter blades, chopping, and getting closer every second. Instinctively I stood in front of my too siblings, "Where are you taking us?" Nico asked.
"You should be honored, my boy. You will have the opportunity to join a great army! Just like that silly game you play with cards and dolls," Thorn spoke, a smug smirk on that face of his.
"They're not dolls! They're figurines! And you can take your great army and-" I looked at Nico, exasperatedly, it was not the best time to annoy our captors. Especially for all, we know he could have a backup in that helicopter.
