Leo's POV-
"Where are we?" I asked to the guard outside my cage. After the car crash 5 men came and beat up me and Grover up; but the thing was we couldn't defend ourselves because our powers weren't working and we couldn't move. They dragged me and Grover into the forest and knocked us out. It all happened so fast I didn't even know what was happening until it was done. We were in this giant hallway with a bunch more cages and other people leaving on the ground in them with a guard outside each cage with a person. The hallway was lit with 1 light and it was pretty dark. The guard turned around and pointed his gun at me.
"I told you not to ask questions! Or speak! Or move! Did I not make myself clear enough?" The creepy guy reloaded his gun without loosing eye contact with me.
"Uh uh um, n-no you made y-yourself clear enough." I gulp.
"Good, now rest; we need you at full strength for tomorrow." I raised my mouth to talk, then thought twice about it and closed my mouth. I realized that I was a little tired but I had way too much on my mind to go to sleep just yet so I just closed my eyes and thought about my friends and family.
Grover's POV-
I heard the guard yelling a Leo from the other cage.
"I told you not to ask questions! Or speak! Or move! Did I not make myself clear enough?" I heard some noises and Leo answer the guard before the guard told Leo to get rest for something tommorow. I heard ruffling noises before I thought something I should have thought before. Who are these people working for? They don't smell like monsters, they smell like mortals; not even demigods. Is the leader a mortal collecting demigods? Then I remembered something, I'm not a demigod. Uggh who are these people, I've never heard of them..? I thought about it for a long time before I something popped in my head, My empathy link with Percy!! I try to concentrates hard as possible so I can get a connection. I think: 'Percy help! Me and Leo are trapped in some dark dungeon, we can't use our powers and we can't escape because there are guards everywhere!! Please help!' After trying to signal Percy I get really tired really fast so I lay down on the cement floor, close my eyes and think about my family and friends.
Percy's POV-
I pick up Nicos ring and look up at Will who's staring at me with a look of horror in his eyes. He drops his weapon which makes everyone look at us; and he runs to me and starts crying. I give him Nicos ring as soon as he gets to me and hug him to try to comfort him. "Hey, shhh, it's ok Will, well find them. It's ok. Shhh stop crying" I say with a soft voice. Will stops crying for a little, but everyone is still comforting him. Will looks up at me and says, "It's all my fault. I'm so stupid to leave him there all alone! How could I do that!! I'm a terrible boyfriend!!" With each sentence Will gets louder and he starts crying again and Piper uses her charm speak to quiet Will down and make him believe that it wasn't his fault. What I'm really wondering is,what is this thing that keeps taking everyone?; and then I hear it. Someone or something trying to talk to me saying 'Percy help! Me and Leo-"then it cuts off. "Wait what no!" I yell aloud. I can't believe Grover just got in touch with me and I don't even hear the whole message.
"Percy what's wrong?" Will asks, full concern in his voice.
"I Uh-" I start to say when I was cut off by another voice. "Are you hurt? Do you know what happened to them? Are they ok?!"
"I um. Well remember my empathy link with Grover? Yea, well he tried to get in touch with me and I heard him say, Percy help Me and Leo, then it got cut off so..." I explain. Will looks at me and says "we should rest guys we all look tired. Just not here. We can take the bus down to the beach a mile away and sleep there for tonight." I look at the group that is here Hazel has been crying into Franks arms this whole time, Jason has one arm around Piper and they are sitting on the ground and Annabeth is behind me pacing back and fourth trying to figure out a plan. Jason finally speaks up and says "Will how about you go rest and we will all take watch, unless someone wants to sleep too?" He says the last part as a question and frank raises his and and points to hazel who is now sniffling in his shirt. Jason nods and Piper gives a half smile. Frank starts whispering in Hazels ear and she nods. Frank and hazel stand, up connect hands and start heading to the bus along with Will.
Jason's POV-
I'm trying so hard to keep myself together right now but if I'm being honest, I'm scared to death. Me, Percy, Annabeth and Piper are all Standing bear the door of the bus with our weapons out and and open eye for anything suspicious. I don't know what we're going up against and 2 of the seven and 1 son of freaking Hades have gone missing! I don't want anyone else to go missing but, why are they only taking boys. I think about this and then I hear screaming it's so loud and screechy it hurts my ears. Apparently I'm not the only on it hurts because I see piper and Percy and Annabeth holding their ears, I drop my weapon and do the same. The screaming stops and I pick up my weapon really fast and look around everyone else does the same I make eye contact with Percy and we agree on something 'To go into the bus.' I turn around fast and run in the van while Percy runs into the woods with riptide drawn. Ok. Guess i was wrong about what he tried to tell me. I hear annabeth call after Percy and when he didn't come back she ran into the forest, so did Piper. Before she entered the forest she looked back at me and told me to stay on the bus and protect the others. I obliged. I nodded for her to know I will. Once she left I started freaking out. I move to the driver seat of the van and look behind to see Hazel sleeping on Frank and will sleeping in the last row on.. was that Nicos splish splash bag? I turn back around and lock the doors and turn on the air just a little to cool the car down. I see annabeth, Percy and Piper walk out of the woods disappointed. I unlock the car and they open the car door so they can climb in. Durning the process they wake Hazel and frank and Will. "Sorry guys." Percy mumbles as he climbs over Frank. Piper sits in shotgun. Percy and annabeth sit next to Will in the back and hazel and frank sit next to each-other in the row closest to me.
"Buckle up everyone." I say. Without questions they all do then Frank asks "To go where?"
"We can't save our friends without a prophecy. And we need pro mission from Chiron or we will get in big trouble."
"Oh ok." Frank responds.
"Everyone get some rest while we drive back we have a little while." Everyone does and I start to head out of this place we were bumped into. I start to drive and I hear will crying and I look in the rear view mirror mirror and I see Annabeth hugging Will and she had streams coming down her face as well. Percy was playing with his hands in his lap. Hazels head was on Franks shoulder and she was asleep and frank was looking out the window. Piper was looking at me. I smiled and grabbed her hand with my free hand.
