Awakened to struggles

Chapter 1

Awakened and worried

When Percy woke up he realized he wasn't in his nice warm bed where he could hear the water from Camp Half-blood Lake. He had fallen asleep on his nice soft mattress and was now waking up on a damp stone floor. Before he had even opened his eyes he could feel something wrapped tightly around his wrists. He tried to move them and he heard something that sounded like a chain dragging and clinking along the floor.

As he opened his eyes he saw that around his wrists were gold and blue shackles and that the room was filthy. He tried taking a deep breath but the air was thick so he went into a harsh coughing fit. Once the fit had subsided he looked up to see himself not alone in the room. Shackled and chained similarly to himself were his cousins Jason Grace and Nico di Angelo.

Jason was a son of Jupiter (or Zeus if you were Greek). He had blonde hair which was currently stuck to his head in sweat and he had blue eyes which were closed. Percy could see that Jason's shackles were white and gold. He had a nasty gash on his head as well. Jason was usually level-headed and took leadership. He was a month older than Percy and he usually stayed at Camp Half-blood even though he was Roman.

Nico di Angelo was a son of Hades. He had longish Black hair which fell in front of his black eyes which Percy guessed where also closed. His shackles appeared to be black and silver. Percy couldn't see any injuries yet on his younger cousin but so far he just looked like a black ball in the corner. Nico was usually by himself after he lost Bianca, even when he found Hazel though he did try to get people to think of him as more than just a dark child of Hades.

Percy didn't like the silence so he decided to try and wake them up. He decided to keep everything to a hushed whisper in case anyone could hear them outside this room.

"Jason...Jason hey wake up"

Jason stirred slightly and his face looked pained but that was probably from the gash on his head

"What?..." said Jason groggily.

"Shhh, are you ok man" asked Percy who was worried about the gash and worried about being heard.

"I ... think so... yeah" said Jason who noticed his shackled and starred up in confusion.

While Jason tried to get his bearings and think Percy decided he would try to wake Nico up. He looked over to see the Son of Hades hadn't moved. He was about to whisper to him like he'd done with Jason when Nico started to shift in his sleep and he could see faint tear marks on his cheeks.

"Psst Jason... I think Nico's having a nightmare. Can you try wake him up because you're closer than I am" asked Percy in worry. Nico usually had nightmares and they'd usually end with him waking up screaming.

Jason nodded and looked over to his younger cousin.

"Hey Nico... Hey Nico wake up" he called him a hushed whisper, catching onto Percy's idea about not being heard.

Nico's sobs became louder and after another minute of his cousins trying to wake the distressed boy he woke up with a piercing scream. It was the scream that caused both his cousins so much pain every time they heard it.

Bearing a few seconds later two guys who looked a bit older than Jason walked through the rotten door. One of them was thin but you could tell he was strong because he was wearing a vest. The other was a lot bigger than the first but they both had sickening smiles on their faces.

"Well we were wondering when you would wake up" said the first guy.

All three cousins gave the Guy a harsh glare but he didn't seem fazed.

"Aww, come on guys, pretty soon I'm sure we're going to be best friends" he said again. "I'm Nick, Son of Hermes and this is my good friend Ben, Son of Ares".

No one said anything for a while and the son of Hermes sighed.

"Well, you guys sure don't seem like talking so I'll get straight to who we are and why you'll help us. We are a fairly large group of demigod who all believe we are the ones who should rightfully rule Olympus and believe it's time that the God went into a permanent retirement."

"Well then you're stupid because someone already tried that and failed" said Percy bitterly. He was referring to Luke Castellan who was also a Son of Hermes.

Nick chuckled darkly. "Yes that is true Percy but unlike Luke we have the power to do it, and the power is you three."

Jason growled "Well then you're even more stupid if you think we are going to help you!"

Ben who had remained silent walked over to Jason and punched him hard across the face.

"Leave him alone" said Percy.

Ben retreated back to Nick's side with a sick grin.

"We aren't stupid, our plan is brilliant and we only need your co operation. What heave the god ever done of us anyway... hmmm? Me and Ben here have been locked in an asylum for most our lives and I know you three haven't had good lives" sniggered Nick

"Well the gods clearly had a reason for keeping you two locked up" sneered Nico from his corner.

Nick walked over to Nico and knelt down to his level.

"Aww but Nico, we would accept you like your family, don't you want to be accepted" asked Nick but Nico spat in his face.

"Not by psychopaths" spat Nico.

Nick looked at Nico with discussed and without any sign of warning threw his head into Nico's earning a grunt from their young cousin.

"Clearly you three aren't in a good mood right now so we'll give you some time to ... think it over" said Nick "oh and a quick word of warning... the shackles are magic and stop your godly powers from working"

Without another word Nick and Ben left the room full of silence.
