Hey guys!!! Sorry this took so long to update.. I was just super procrastinatey, and was putting this off for a while.. Without further ado, zee chaptair!!
All rights to Rick and the Makers!
Percy
I remembered using the last trickle of energy I had to cause the roof to collapse. I could see chunks of the cavern raining down around me. I watch, helpless, as a giant piece hit Cleo on the head, knocking her out. Hazel was in a similar position, on the ground. Jason and Frank were still running with me in their arms, my dead weight slowing them down.
"Guys!" Bella yelled. "Cleo is unconscious! I'm not leaving her here alone! I'm not going any further!"
I silently thanked her. That was exactly what I wanted to say, not that I had enough energy to. I was facing a bit of a dilemma. I wanted all my friends to escape, and not get captured, or killed. At the same time, I didn't want Cleo and Hazel, who were still passed out just a few feet behind us, to be left to rot.
"If she's staying, so are we!" Emma and Riki stepped forward.
"Hey, man, sorry, but, I stay with Hazel," Frank gently laid my head on the floor and walked over to hazels unconscious form. Even that slight movement made my body explode in pain.
"Is there a way we can carry all of them?" Piper asked.
I was having a lot of trouble concentrating on what was going on at this point. My vision was turning red from the pain, and I was very close to passing out.
"Not without being majorly slowed down, which is a definite capture, and may result in us being injured as well," Annabeth called.
"If Frank and Hazel are staying, I guess I can't leave them here, plus, who know what they'll do to the mermaids." Leo stepped towards the two unconscious girls.
"We obviously have no choice!" Annabeth growled. "We've hesitated too much! The monsters are right behind us, and there's no time to run! We can't use the mist because Hazel's unconscious! We have no choice but to allow ourselves to be captured!"
"No!" I croaked, and all eyes instantly turned to me. "You have to escape! Leave me, and take the others. I slow you down the most!"
"No Way!" Annabeth had tears in her eyes. "We will never leave you!"
She sat down beside me, and so did the others.
"So, capture for sure?" Piper asked.
"There isn't much we can do.. we can't possibly leave Percy, Cleo and Hazel, which is actually the only way we could escape right now. But nobody wants to leave them. The best way to get around this problem would be to send a small group of maybe 1 or 2 of us out before the monsters get to us. They might not notice there are a few missing. they can notify the gods, or camp, or someone, and hope they send help." the gears in Annabeth's brain was working in full speed, trying to find a way to survive.
The sound of the monsters yelling for blood got louder.
"They'll notice if one of the mermaids are gone. Frank won't leave Hazel. I can't leave Percy. That leaves Jason, Leo and Piper. One or two of you should go. Someone they won't notice, at least for a few minutes," Annabeth muttered.
Piper stepped forward. "I'll go. Alone."
"Piper!" Jason protested.
she moved closer and took his hand. "they need you here. They won't notice me. Don't worry. I'll be fine on my own. I know how to work the ship. I can take it to the Empire State Building." She slowly let his hand slip out of her grasp. "stay safe."
With that, she turned and disappeared down the tunnel, and I turned my head with a pained gasp to see a large group of monsters burst into the cave we were in. A group of monsters broke through the crowd and moved to the front. I recognized them as the group that had fought me when I had tried to escape. One of them snapped it's fingers, and all my friends passed out. I closed my eyes too, and drifted away.
In my dream, I was in Rachel's cave back at camp. She was once again, muttering to herself. The accurate picture she had drawn last time I had dreamt of her was still there, behind her. She seemed to be expecting something. I really hoped it wasn't another image.
Just my luck. It was another picture. Rachel began to draw, and it was almost as if she wasn't in control of her movements. She looked to be finished, and was looking around as if looking for something. Finally, she turned, looking RIGHT at me.
"This is for you," she whispered. Her voice wasn't her's though. It wasn't the oracle's voice either. It was different. Colder.
She stepped aside, still looking right at me. I shifted my gaze to the picture, and dread settled in my heart. It was even worse than the first one.
My friends were all in a circle, kneeling. Hazel was hugging Frank, and Piper was clinging to Jason. The four mermaids were holding hands, and both Annabeth and Leo were alone. All their throats were slit, swords plunged into their stomachs. I could see a look of pure pain on Annabeth's face, and I wasn't anywhere in the picture. The part that hurt me the most was that I wasn't there to be with them. I didn't get to hold her hand, to tell her it would be ok.
"This might all be your fault. Choose wisely, Son of Poseidon. You'll know what I mean soon," Rachel hissed as the dream faded away.
