(Rargh. Being a prisoner is boring, ya know?)
Colton was growing weaker every day. He knew that. Terry was better off, but he wasn't doing that well either. Gaea was insane. She had this idea that if she hung them in cages in front of everyone, they would be afraid of defying her. The thing that infuriated him was, it worked. They were all afraid. If they defied her, this was what would happen to them. Colton hadn't had food or water for two days now. The wounds in his back were starting to form scars. He was weak. If he didn't get out one, he would die soon.
Colton gritted his teeth. Not on his watch, he wasn't. He managed to find a spirit line, using his powers he willed every once of his strength to reach out to it. The ghost had been summoned, Colton was exhausted.
"Oh my. Sir, you don't look so good." The ghost's first words were in shock.
Colton didn't reply. He didn't have the energy. The ghost still knew what he had to do though. The spirit reached into his pocket. There it found a golden drachma. The ghost went over to the pool in the middle of the Wolf House. He sent a sorry of water into the air. Colton managed to speak out. "O goddess, accept my offering..Camp...Half blood..."
Amazingly, as he imagined the camp, it showed up. He had been afraid he hadn't said it that well. The ghost flitted back and forth, keeping the spray of water going. Colton looked into the image.

(assuming that the Iris Message went to the clearing)
I walked into the clearing, one hand stuffed in the pocket of my basketball shorts, one hand clutching a knife in my hand, . My bare feet tickled as they touched the blades of grass. I knew it was kind of stupid to be barefoot, but at this point I didn't really care. I'd been through worse. I looked around. I practically jumped a foot when I saw the Iris message. It was..... Colton and Terry? They were alive? My eyes widened in disbelief. I had thought they were dead.... Was this a trick by Gaea? Was she trying to break us? If she was, she was doing a darn good job of it. I had been trying to get the image out of my head of them falling down that hole. I hadn't known what to think. Should I hold onto the idea of them being alive? Or just let go of the idea? I hadn't known what to do. If I thought they were alive, I might be slightly more happy. But if I had let go of the idea, it would save me from the pain if I found out they died. What to do, what to do. But... they're not dead? My head was spinning in confusion, and it takes a lot to confuse me. "Colton? Terry?" I said, the disbelief clear in my voice.
(sorry it's terrible... but I felt like posting)

Colton blinked as a random girl appeared. He tried to remember her name clearly, but it was kind of hard. He swung on the rope, kicking the bars of the cage a few times. He cleared his dried throat and managed to talk. "It...would be nice...if the camp...sent some help..."
After all, they weren't giving them water or food, so Colton was pretty much dying right now. He could barely get his dry and cracked voice to work.

Terry had been sleeping at first. He heard voices, and he was pulled out of the hazy world. The weaker he was, the more he wanted to sleep. He had a feeling next time, he wouldn't wake up. He blinked in surprise at the iris message of Rachel at camp. He looked over at Colton. Admiration entered his expression. To think that he had the power to summon a ghost to do all that. Both a creative idea and a pn exhausting task. He wondered exactly how much willpower this boy had.
"Rachel!" Terry couldn't have been any happier. "Apparently, they decided to keep prisoners." He shrugged. He wasn't as weak as Colton, so he could speak more clearly.

I blinked. They were alive! I couldn't believe it! "We'll send help. Where are you guys? Do you think you'll be able to hang in there until we can come rescue you?" I was practically jumping up and down with exitement. Wait until the others heard about this! Espescially Shade. If the rest of us had been out of it, he would've been emo cutting himself. Good thing he wasn't. You know, a son of Hades/Pluto cutting seemed a bit like an oxymoron.... Off topic here. I'm just so happy that they're not dead that I'm freaking out! As long as it isn't a trick... "This isn't a trick, right?" I asked.

"Wolf house." Colton replied, noticing that Terry had woken up. He looked over. The kid had been sleeping, and he couldn't blame him. They were both really tired anyway.
"Not a trick...but...there are a lot...of guards...be carefu-" Colton was cut off by a voice. A look of panic flashed across his bright blue eyes once. Then the image dissolved quickly and they were gone.
(Lol, I know, very, very sudden ending. I guess you make a new thread and go around telling people that we're not dead! XD)

I blinked. The Iris Message was gone. I stood there like an idiot for a second, then ran off to tell people of the good news. As long as they believed me.....
(Kay, I'm making a thread to tell people your alive now.)
