A/N did I spell twelve right? Lol

Previously on PJD:

I heard a slap as Luke's body hit the pavement from being flung off.

He lays on the ground groaning and muttering curses. You can tell he can't see properly. I see my whole team running towards me and him. They all stop above him staring wide eyed and looking at the spinning tilta whirl. It is all a blur.

"The flag is no where. We've never been able to find it. Ethan always finds a spot that we can't......" Rachel is over here watching talking about the greatest hiding spots Ethan always has. Our flag is bright yellow, their is red.

I bend down and punch Luke in the face.

"Percy!" Rachel cries. "That's not the way to play!" Rachel says. I hear mutters but a grin from Annabeth. She must of seem what I saw. I reach into Luke's Pocket of his gun sack. I take out the gun. And shoot as many bullets as I can. Until a small red ball-a crumpled up piece of glowing red fabric-shoot out and land on the ground as the full glowing flag.

"Bam," I say, "we win."

__________________________

It's been seven days now. It's been one week. We're sitting in this room that has a small door that leads to the "simulation room". I don't know what I is-no one does.

We just see initiate after initiate coming out of the room, looking scared and fearful. I twiddle my thumbs and stare at Annabeth, who is biting her lip and drawing blood.

I want to kiss those lips.

Suddenly, Piper comes out of the room, her eyes filled with fear, and she is shaking. Rachel has an arm around her and steers her out of the room. She comes back in and calls my name.

"Percy Jackson!"

I sit paralyzed.

"Ahem. Percy Jackson!"

I get up and walk towards the door and inside not even thinking. I hear the door close and spin around. Rachel is holding a needle. I shiver and back away.

"No. No needles Rachel," I say calmly, but in the inside I'm terrified.

When I was younger, my moms ex husband tortured me. He always stabbed me with the pointiest thing he could find. Usually the needles he had from his injections.

I've always been afraid of needles, and if they find out what I did to him. The secret and fear I've always kept hidden.

"Perseus-"

"Don't call me that, Rachel," I say in a tone angrier then I hoped.

"Percy, they don't make it into drinks. Only for the first test. Okay? Now don't be a baby it's just a needle-"

"You don't understand! I have a fear of needles! It's in my past!"

"Then your not gimme like what's in this," she says. I realize I've been slowly backing away and I fall into the chair in a perfect position. She likes the needle into my neck but I struggle. She takes it away and I try to stand.

My world dips and sways, and I slump into the headrest.

"Sorry Percy," she whispers.

"What did you do..." I croak out, but she smiles faintly as the world is black.

__________________________

I am standing in my own house. And suddenly I hear a yell from upstairs, and I wince recognizing the voice. Gabe. The ex father.

"Perseus Asshole Jackson! Get up here!" He booms. I flinch and slowly make my way up the stairs. I feel a push and a stab as he stabs me with a needle and pushes me down the stairs. I land with a painful thud and groan, tears spinning in my eyes.

I hear his stomps down the stairs, and with every step I seem to shrink and he gets bigger and more powerful. I cup my hands over my ears as his words echo around me.

"Get up, weak ass. Get up. Get up. Get up."

Suddenly there's so many of him around me my head spins. His words echo around the room and more tears spring to my eyes. My whole body feels as though it being pierced by needles. Needles and his words.

Hours go by. My body feels like it is ripped to shreds. It feels like hours and hours of torture, even worse than it's ever been. He slams me up against walls. He stabs me, cuts me, with his needles. He screams how worthless I am as the tears pour down my face. I'm a hopeless cause.

Suddenly it's all gone and I sit up in the chair in the small room gasping. I put my hands to my face and it is wet with tears. I see Rachel ripping small pieces of paper with wires that connected her arm to mine. She looks at me sadly and I wipe away the tears and push the chair over. She raises her eyebrows.

"Do you know how much time I spent trying to rid myself of that past? How much time I had to spend at the therapist? How I almost committed suicide because of that?" I screamed at her.

"Percy it's all part of the second initiation," she says calmly. I feel smoke actually coming out of my ears.

"I don't care! And are you gonna show me all my other past torture too? Huh? Every day huh? Well maybe I shouldn't of chose dauntless, if I had known I was gonna be tortured. I was in there for hours!" I screamed.

"No you had the best time of the day, a 2 minute and 57 seconds. You did-" she started saying but I stormed out the door and slammed it shut. I got stared at on my way by and got pitiful looks. I glared at everyone and slammed the other door and stormed through the compound heading towards the pit. I sighed as I peered over the edge.

I stand on the edge, my toes just wiggling over it as the water roars beneath me. The only thing standing in my way is the fear. I fall forwards.

But someone pulls me back. I feel the tug and let out a yell.

"What the hell-"

"Percy stop," says a feminine voice. Annabeth. She must of followed me.

"Leave me alone!" I say tears springing on my eyes once again. I've only cried because of Gabe before. She must be surprised.

"Percy I love you. I hate Luke. I'm-I'm going to dump him. I know you and Piper will help me get through this. But don't walk out of my life please. I need you," she says. I stare into her beautiful gray eyes and we pull into a kiss.

I love her so much. I'll never let her go.
