(Y/N)'s POV
I was looking everywhere for my friends but I kept getting stopped by guys asking me to dance. I shoved them all away. Except for one guy, he was being a complete jerk. I had to slap him in the face so he could finally leave me alone. I blame my ADHD, but I wasn't going back to say sorry to that guy.

I finally found Annabeth talking to a guy but once she saw me in my frantic state, she excused herself.

"What happened?" She asked.

"They're gone. So is Dr. Thorn. Percy went after them."

Annabeth groaned.

"It could be a trap. Come on let's go get Thalia and Grover."

We raced towards them and told them what was happening.

'Please let them be alright.'

Percy's POV
I finally found the di Angelo kids in the corner of a dark room. They looked up at me with fear in their eyes. I slowly walked up to them.

"It's ok. I'm not going to hurt you." I said as I lowered my sword.

They didn't answer.

'What's wrong with them? Where's Dr. Thorn? Did he retreat?'

"My name's Percy." I said calmly. "I'm getting you out of here, get you somewhere safe."

Bianca's eyes widened, her fists clenched tightly. But I was too late to realize that she was trying to warn me. I quickly looked behind me.

WHISH!

Pain shot throughout my shoulder. I started to feel a little bit warm.

'Poison.'

Then I was slammed into the wall. I slashed my sword but I hit nothing. A cold laugh was heard in the room. Dr. Thorn stepped into the dim light.

"Welcome Perseus Jackson. So glad you can join us." Dr. Thorn said.

I swung my sword again but missed.

WHISH!

Bianca yelped behind me. A thorn-like object impaled itself in the stone wall, barely missing Bianca's face.

"All three of you will come with me. Quietly and obediently. Make any calls for help and I'll make sure you regret it." Dr. Thorn growled. "Now walk."

"Halt. I will summon your ride."

We stopped at a clearing near the woods. There was a cliff. I could hear the crashing of the waves from below.

"What ride? Where are you taking us?" Bianca asked.

"Silence, you insufferable girl!" Dr. Thorn growled.

"Don't talk to my sister that way." Nico said.

I was impressed that he had the guts to say anything. I tried to use the empathy link that me and Grover shared but I wasn't sure if it was working. Dr. Thorn pushed us, making me stumble back. Bianca caught me.

"Thanks." I mumbled.

"Who or what is he?" She whispered. "How do we fight him?"

"I'm working on it. Hopefully they get here on time."

"They?" She asked.

"I'm scared." Nico mumbled, fiddling with some kind of toy.

"Stop talking!" Dr. Thorn growls.
