After he was sure both yetis had gone done the staircase, Percy willed himself to step forward into the tunnel.

The tunnel was quite tall and longer then it had looked from the room.

He continued until he was just next to the light at the end of the tunnel.

A glowing snail? Percy thought as he saw the source of the light. Okay....

He reached toward the snail, only to have the snail suddenly stop glowing.

Percy yelped in suprise as he was engulfed in darkness.

Okay, just stay calm Percy. He told himself.

He reached to take out his phone to use the flashlight, when he heard a gruff voice seeming to talk to itself.

"Okay, Thorp. Don't blow it this time." It said.

"Wha-" Percy was cut off when something was thrown on top of him. "Hey! What's going on?!"

The sound of two loud claps rang through the air.

The glowing snail came back on to reveal that the object that was thrown onto Percy was a net.

A grayish yeti with sharp horns and red eyes came out from the shadows.

"Yes!" He exclaimed. "Dad, is going to be so proud."

He quickly stopped himself. "Uh, I mean the Stonekeeper! The Stonekeeper is gonna be so proud."

Percy was in shock. That lying good for nothing! The Stonekeeper lied to Migo and me!

Percy tried to find a way out of the net, but this net was definitely made for small creatures like him.

Okay, Percy no need to panic. He told himself. Surely this yeti isn't going to hurt you.

He decided to try communicating with the yeti.

"Hey! What's going on?" He called up to the yeti.

Thorp looked down at the Smallfoot.

"Uh, sorry little dude. Can't understand you." The yeti spoke.

Thorp bent down and grabbed the net. Percy saw an opportunity getting ready and prepared to make a run for it.

Except Thorp lift the net up in a scooping motion.

Swooping both the snail and Percy up in the net.

Percy yelped again as he was turned and held upside down inside of the net.

Percy tried to turn himself upright, but the more he moved the more tangled he became. So he gave up trying to.

Thorp walked away from the area, carrying Percy.

Percy tried again to protest. "I'm all for snail catching, but I don't exactly glow!"

"Sorry little dude still don't understand. But Stonekeeper's orders." Thorp said as he walked down a few hallways. "I have to keep you away from Migo while the Stonekeeper talks to him."

"You-you can't be serious!" Percy stuttered.

"Why did I say that? I can't even understand if you say anything back." Thorp spoke to himself once again.

Percy looked around quickly trying to find out where exactly this yeti was taking him.

Thorp then entered a room with what looked to be shelves and shelves of ice cages.

The ice cage that caught Percy's attention though, was the one that was suspended from the ceiling by what looked to be chains.

"You have got to be kidding me!" Percy exclaimed.

Thorp walked toward the suspended cage.

Percy could tell what was happening as he looked at the other cages. He saw many different artic specimen in the cages. Most were equipped for the cold, harsh weather higher up in the mountains.

Percy however, was not.

Percy noted that each creature was from below the clouds, and that none appeared to be breathing.

"You aren't going to put me in there are you?" Percy questioned the yeti to no avail.

As Thorp reached the icy cage, Percy made a final desperate attempt to call for help. "MIGO!" He cried.

Thorp reared back in suprise by how loud Percy had yelled.

"Woah, take it easy little dude. You won't be in here for long." Thorp said as he reached up to the cage. "Just until Migo forgets about you and won't come looking for you."

Thorp opened the cage and flipped the net over dropping Percy inside.

Percy landed roughly on the floor of the ice cage.

Thorp placed the lid back onto the cage.

"Though that may take a while." Thorp said with a shrug.

Percy quickly got up to try and reason with the yeti, even though he couldn't understand Percy.

Percy had gotten up too quickly, however, because he immediately felt light headed.

"Oh, dear. That can't be good." Percy groaned as he held his head and leaned against the cage wall.

Once he recovered, Percy placed his hands against the ice cage wall. He hoped that Migo would soon come to get him.

Percy felt a strong wave of sadness and despair come over him as he heard a loud yell coming from some where else in the tunnels. "PERCY!"

Oh no! Percy thought. What did the Stonekeeper do to Migo?

"Man, you two definitely have some loud voices." Thorp joked.

Percy felt afraid, he didn't know where this yeti had taken him and he didn't know if Migo was hurt or not.

Oh, Migo. Percy thought as he turned and slid down to sit on the floor of his new prison. Please be okay.
