4 Days

I'm sorry...... I've had trouble writing this with the idea I had so... I changed everything I had initially planned.

Enjoy!

Now that I have ideas updates should go faster. (No promises).

Also if you haven't check out the alternate story to Locked In. Hitman's Hoax.

4 Days

"You got any food?"

"That is the fourth time you asked me Grace. Ask again and I will throttle you."

Jason frowned and leaned back against the cool dirt wall. "Sorry. Haven't eaten in a while..."

Nico didn't reply. He wandered in circles through touching the dirt walls searching for anything that might indicate a way out. They had been placed in the room after all. But they hadn't just appeared there.

Finally his hand caught on something. Nico walked back feeling the wall for the small nick. Near it were others. "Jason grab the flashlight!"

Jason turned it on confused and shined it toward Nico. At toward base of the wall off to the side were a bunch of scratches.

"It's pried up from either side," Jason stated.

Nico nodded. "And since we have nothing to lift it..."

"We're stuck."

Nico kicked the wall in frustration. He muttered curses in pain but his pain was replaced by confusion as the wall began to rise.

The sun had come up and campers were busy eating and chatting at breakfast.

A few of them weren't so carefree. Two of their friends were missing after all.

Luke tapped his fingers not listening to one of his cabin mates as they spoke to him. He had other things to think about.

Hiding Kronos's men until things were ready as well as finding Jason and Nico. Two hard tasks he didn't quite have the proper time for.

"Where else can we look?" Piper asked sounding defeated. "We searched everywhere and Mr. D is gone and Tantalus.... He's not gonna help."

"We're going to find them," Hazel said. "We have to find them."

"I still don't get why we can't call the cops," Percy stated. "There's a slim chance they might believe us. And it's better than just sitting here."

"I want to know more about this other option," Annabeth added. "Obviously there is another way to get the two boys back. But what is it?"

"Has anyone seen anything stranger than usual?" Frank asked.

"You do realize you're asking us, the kids who were part of an overnight murder case right?" Leo asked. "Nothing is exactly very strange anymore." No one can exactly disagree.

It went silent until the conch sounded announcing activities.

"We should all go to our activities," Thalia said. "Be on the look out for anything. We'll meet up tonight and discuss."

Everyone agrees and walks off.

Luke walks alone. He heads for the one spot he think he could hide Kronos's men.

Finally he comes to Zeus's fist. He walks up to a bush and reaches his arm in and pulls out a crowbar.

After glancing around he heads to the rock and places the crowbar in place and begins to pry the hidden door open.

When the door is finally up far enough he reaches a hand under and pushes it up.

His eyes widen and he drops the at the sight of what's inside.

Jason and Nico stare back at Luke.

After a moment Luke smiles. "I've been looking everywhere for you two! I didn't think you'd be in my shed for beer and stuff, but this is great!"

Jason and Nico don't look convinced.

"We know you planned this," Jason said.

"Planned what?" Luke blinked.

"The both of you are working together!" Nico shouted. "You had us kidnapped! And you-"

"Shit!" A voice curses loudly. The three boys turn.

Luke didn't get to react before he was  he was shoved inside the secret room on top of Jason and Nico. Before the three could detangle themselves the door slammed back down shutting tightly. 

Luke looked at the other two. "What the fuck just happened?"

"So you were involved in this...." Nico realized.

Outside a person paces back and forth. "Shit. What did I just do! This is gonna mess up everything! With Reyna and Kronos! Damnit! Breathe... Breathe..." After taking a couple breaths the person replaces the crowbar and hurries off.

Thalia walked in her cabin with a sigh. She stopped when she stepped on a piece of paper.

Are you missing something?
One by one?

There is still always Option B..... Come on Thalia. You still wanna play this game? A game you know you're desperate to lose?

Thalia's pace quickened and she rubbed her phone and called the others demanding they come over now.

Finally everyone arrived. Well all but one.

"Has anyone seen Luke?" She asked looking around.

No one has answer. "Damnit!" Thalia shouted kicking a wall.

"What happened?" Annabeth asked. Thalia doesn't reply as she sinks to the floor her mind running wild.

"What's this?" Percy asked picking up a semi crumpled piece of paper and smoothing it out before reading it out loud once he was done he asked, What's 'Option B'? And the game?"

Thalia doesn't reply.

"Thalia?" Annabeth asked. "We're trying to help. What's going on?"

Thalia's head was ready to explode. When she spoke she didn't expect what came out. "Reyna didn't mean to kill Bianca! Bianca's death was an accident!"

"What?" Hazel asked. "How do you know?"

Thalia didn't responded shocked that she had let that detail slip. She was beginning to crumble.

"Thalia...? Thalia?" Annabeth asked and Thalia looked up to see all eyes on her.

She couldn't take it she jumped up and sprinted off into the trees.

It wasn't until it was dark until they made it back to the prison.

"I screwed up. I screwed up bad."

"What did you do?" Reyna asked.

"Luke found them. I shoved him in with them."

"You what?" Reyna hissed.

"I panicked. Now, I can't just let him go. And Kronos's forces are coming. What do we do now?"

Reyna took a deep breath. "I don't know and I don't care. I didn't do anything."

"What do you mean? You planned all of this!"

Reyna shook her head. "This call is being altered so no one knows what's happening on these calls the recording is no use. I did nothing but tell you stuff. There is no record anywhere that I did anything. I've been here being a model prisoner. This is your problem."

Eyes widened at Reyna's words. "You said you'd kill me."

"And how would I have done that? There's a thick glass between us. I couldn't kill you if I tried. Could I get some else to do it? Theoretically. But not until you got me involved with Kronos. And that was after this plan was set in motion. So this is all on you. But tell me one thing... Did Thalia crack?"

"Almost..." Was the reply as a couple tears fell down their face. "She was nearly there..."

"Wonderful," Reyna smiled. "Well I have things to do to stay on our Lord's good side. You should think of something to get back on his good side. You did lock away his vessel after all."

"But- but..."

"Goodbye Silena." Reyna hung up and walked away leaving Silena alone.

She stood and blood pulsed in her ears. She could barely breathe as she walked out of the building. Because, Reyna was right.
