the Escapade

Annabeth
Annabeth continued to sob. She remembered the whip falling down on her and shuddered. She fell to the floor in despair, giving up all hope. Tomorrow, the same thing would happen to her again.
"Hey, sweetie."Order appeared in front of Annaeth. She shrunk back instinctively. He pulled her hand and led her to a black bed chamber. He flung her onto the bed and chained her down. Annabeth struggled but to no avail. He raised his hand and a swirling of dark mist swirled around Annabeth. It blocked her view entirely. She saw memories, bad memories. Luke looking up at her; Percy shouting at her; Rachel kissing Percy; Percy missing for eight months. Then, she felt an excruciating pain stab into her shoulder. It reminded her of an incident when Ethan Nakamura had tried to kill Percy with a poisoned knife, but Annabeth had jumped in the way to save him, it was still painful. Just when she thought it couldn't get any worse, pain stabbed at every inch of her skin. She screamed, her eyes full of pain. She tried to get away but the chains did their job well. As she felt her breathing slow down, she heard a shout, the voice of her best friend. "Thalia..." was all Annabeth managed to croak out. The mist subsided and the pain stopped. Thalia appeared out of the mist, along with Luke, Grover, Reyna, Nico, Leo, Jason, Piper, Calypso, Frank and Hazel. Luke slashed through the chains and helped her off the bed. She almost collapsed but Luke caught her and helped her out. She flashed him a grateful smile and She walked out of the subsiding mist. Lying on the ground, was a knocked out Order and an injuried Percy. "Percy! You're hurt!" Annabeth cried. Percy shouted get away from me you filthy, ungrateful, betraying piece of dirt. "What?" Annabeth was puzzled. "Don't act like you don't know! You kissed Luke and I know that you both are dating. I thought that you loved me, but you betrayed me, clearly you don't love me." Percy ranted before turning away. Annabeth saw drops of water drop on the floor. Annabeth started, "Percy! Please! Don't be stupid...." Suddenly, it all clicked. Annabeth's eyes widened. The others seemed to read her mind. They gasped simultaneously. Luke urged her to try. Annabeth crouched down beside Percy and gripped his hand. "Let go!" He snarled. Annabeth held on tightly and used a soothing voice, "Percy, you're not Void, you're..." She was flung across the room. Thalia charged the now awake Order as he swirled magic around. Percy regained his senses and started to attack the others with his magic. Annabeth drew her knife and dueled Percy. Percy's expression changed as he seemed to remember her. Annabeth gripped the hem of his short and pulled him close. She whispered,"Please let me say something. Then I swear on the Styx that I will let you kill me if you want to." Percy hesitated and replied coldly, "Fine. What do you have to say." Annabeth took a deep breath, the battle raging around them felt distinct, in a different dimension. She opened her mouth to speak and her voice cracked,"Percy...please listen...look at me...in the eye! Please!" He  reluctantly  looked her in the eye. Annabeth stared into the endless voids for his eyes. She spoke...
