Percy POV
It's not Gabe. It can't be Gabe.
"Hey punk!" the man said. It sounds like Gabe. "Remember me? Gabe?" It's Gabe. I internally screamed. Wait did I scream out loud.
"Yes, you did, punk!" Gabe said, joyously. "That scared of me?" I didn't reply.
"Get out everyone! Torture time for Mr. Jackson!" Gabe shouted. I shivered. Kronos was about to cut the Iris Message connection when Gabe stopped him.
"No, no," He said. "I want the Olympians to see their beloved hero be tortured." Kronos smiled and stood in the corner.
"Hm..." Gabe muttered. "AHA!" He quickly tied me to a chair. To weak to protest, I sat in the chair, firmly tied up. I looked down, my hair falling over my eyes. Suddenly, a sharp pain took over my arms. I looked up and found that Gabe had stuck two metal rods in my upper arms. He twisted them into place and I gasped in pain. I thought that was the torture. LOL NOPE! Gabe pressed the ends and my body started convulsing. Pain shot through my body and I screamed. After 5 seconds it stopped. He pressed the ends again, and this time it was longer. I smelled something burning, but my body was convulsing way too much. When it stopped, my eyes were in the back of my head. I blinked a few times, getting tears out, and adjusted my vision. Thalia was looking at me in horror, Nico looked scared, and Annabeth, who had woken up, was crying. I looked at my arms and saw burned skin on the edge of where the metal rods were. He pulled them out and I hissed.
"Not enough fun!" Gabe whined. I looked at him in terror. He cut the ropes and dragged me by my hair to the wall. He chained me up, my back facing my friends and my torturer. He ripped my shirt open and touched my bare, bruised back. He picked something up. Suddenly, there was a CRACK and pain. He was whipping me! I screamed. CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! Pain. Pain. Pain. After what felt like a million days, he dropped the whip. I was slumped against the wall, crying and my back bleeding. I collapsed as he unchained me. He pointed me to a cage, a DOG CAGE,and I shook my head. He narrowed his eyes.
"That's cute.." Gabe whispered in my ear. "You think you have a choice!" He grabbed my hair and threw me inside. I groaned in pain. When I was inside, he shut it, and locked it. I huddled up, in one corner, shivering and crying. He disconnected the IM and I went to sleep. That only brought nightmares.
PERCY'S DREAM (NIGHTMARE)
I was back in my cell. I was huddled up in a thin blanket. Annabeth banged the door open. She was still evil, this time. She threw my blanket out the door. She turned into Gabe. Endless torture. He whipped me again, and my body was shaking, in effort to stand. Then, my arms were in pain. I saw the metal rods sticking out of my arms. He pressed the sides and my body convulsed, my eyes rolling to the back of my head. This time, he wouldn't stop. After about a minute, he stopped it. He examined my face. I threw up, but unluckily it was on his face. I widened my eyes as he glared at me.
"Please.. Gabe, please.." I begged. Gabe ignored me. He chained me against the wall and whipped me. Beer bottles were thrown at my head and my back was pretty much a zig-zagged puzzle of scars. I screamed until my voice was gone.
"Stop!" I screamed, hoarsely. "Gabe! Stop! Please stop!"
"Sure thing," he said sarcastically. Crack! Pain.
"Please.. Stop.." I said, falling unconscious.
"Hey PUNK!" I felt a blow to my ribcage. I groaned and looked up at Gabe from my cage. "More torture!" He opened my cage door and I crawled out. He kicked my back and I collapsed. He grabbed my arms and dragged me to the wall. As he chained me, I heard him singing a faint tune. But it was a quieter, more creepy tune.
"I've got no strings, to hold me down, to make me fret, to make me frown." I stared at Gabe. "I've got no strings on me."
"Hey, dumbass," he said. I flinched. "If you can guess your punishment, you don't have to go through it!" I thought hard.
"Do you know your punishment?" Gabe asked, punching my stomach. "Do you?" He repeated when I gave no reply.
"No, I don't know," I said, hopelessly. He shook his head, disdainfully. Gabe took out a huge needle. It was 5 times bigger than it should have been and as thick as a pencil. (A/N This isn't my idea. I saw it on ThatNerdFromSchool 's account and I thought it'd be cool for torture and stuff) Then he picked up a fishing pole string thingy and tied it to the loop of the needle. Suddenly it clicked. I've got no strings on me. Nonononononono..
"Gabe, no!" I screamed.
"No strings on me." He stabbed the needle into my lower wrist. I grit my teeth. He grabbed the end of the needle and pulled the string through. He left a long piece of string hanging. I screamed as the string scraped my nerves. He kept looping it through, up my arm, on my upper back, by my shoulder blades, and down my other arm, like he was sewing me together. I breathed heavily. He tied the ends to a metal pole, and it hit me. The strings on the pole, reminded me of a puppet. He was turning me into a puppet.
"Gabe! No!" I screamed. "You can't control me! Please don't control me!" He shrugged and started on my right leg. He laced it through, and tied the string to make sure it stayed. He got another metal pole and tied the ends of the string to the pole. He tossed the pole aside, pulling my leg, awkwardly with it. He did my left leg and tied the ends of the string to the pole. I screamed in pain as he tugged the poles. I watched as he strapped a metal belt around my lower torso and put a metal neck brace on my neck. He then got a still molding piece of metal and melted it onto the belt, making the metal went in between my legs making sure that I couldn't close my legs. Then he attached a pole to the belt and tugged it. I screamed and arced my back as it I shifted uncomfortably and he laid me down on the ground, unchaining me from the wall. I screamed as he took the poles, making me do an awkward dance.
"Lord Kronos!" Gabe sing-songed. Kronos banged the door open and walked in, pleased to find me in pain. I glared at him and he took the pole from Gabe and jumped into the air. I flew up with him, and he pulled the poles, making me dance, PAINFULLY, might I add. It felt like my arms, muscles, and nerves were ripping apart for the next 3 hours. Kronos gave Gabe the power to fly up for 3 hours so they could torture me in the air. I closed my eyes, feeling pain, everywhere. Oh and the neck brace? Yeah that was so they could take a break for 5 minutes while leaving me hanging to a magnet in the ceiling. The poles were all attracted to it but the metal brace wasn't. I was getting the atomic wedgie while they were laughing their stupid asses off. When they walked in, only Gabe came up, I was screaming too loudly to see what Kronos was doing. suddenly, Gabe stopped. I panted heavily and adjusted my vision. He brought me back to the ground. I heard screaming and crying. But it wasn't me. It was the Iris Message that Kronos had set up. It had the Olympians, Camp Half-Blood, and Camp Jupiter. Annabeth, who had been eating, her eyes already red and puffy from crying, had dropped her fork and spit out her food. She screamed so loudly, I'm pretty sure Camp Jupiter didn't need and Iris Message to hear it. I winced.
"Hey, Annabeth!" I said, weakly. "How you doing? I'm doing great! Don't worry about me, I'm fine!"
"Percy.." She whispered, a tear rolling down her chin. I swallowed and managed a weak smile.
"Percy.." Her voice cracked. "What.. what did they do to you?" I glanced at my arms and legs, and I cracked. Tears were brimming in my eyes. I saw her heartbroken face and I couldn't hold them at bay anymore. I let them fall, wanting to embrace her. I wanted to feel her arms around me, allowing me to cry into her shoulder. But I couldn't. My heart shattered. I looked into her eyes and she felt to same way. Kronos spoke.
"I will be generous and let someone take his place!" He boomed. "Any volunteers?" I saw many hands going up, people stepping forward, saying they would. Annabeth, Reyna, Hylla, Artemis, Poseidon, Athena! Apollo, Zeus, Hestia, all the Olympian counsel. My friends, Piper, Leo, Jason, Thalia, Nico, Frank, Hazel, Clarisse, Travis, Connor, Katie, and other people. Kronos turned to me.
"But, he," Kronos said, "has to be willing to switch."
"Percy.. Please let me switch with you.." Annabeth said.
"Are you willing?" Kronos asked. I shook my head.
"No. Never. No way. Sorry, Annabeth. Never." I said, flatly.
Kronos smiled coldly at the Iris Message.
"The boy says no."
Kronos bent to pick up the pole coming from my hip. He yanked it up, and grabbed the other poles. I screamed. Annabeth sobbed into Thalia's shoulder. He made me dance my way up, with the sounds of my screaming. At the highest point, He motioned for Gabe to come up. Gabe untangled the poles and held the ones that were connected to my arms. Kronos grabbed the pole connecting to my legs.
"THREE!" Kronos shouted. They both pulled, Gabe pulling up, Kronos pulling down. Earsplitting screams echoed around the room, the throne room, the pavilion and the forum. Gabe took out a knife, traced it down my back, before stabbing it in the middle. I screamed again. Then Kronos pulled the knife out and yanked out the thread from my leg. Another scream. Gabe was holing me up with the metal pole, having taken off the neck brace and belt. Gabe took of his belt. My eyes widened. Is he.. is he going to rape me? He ripped my shirt and threw it to the ground. I hung in the air as he whipped my back, several times. Finally, he put his belt back on. Sadly, he let go of the pole. I was free-falling to the ground and I heard collective gasps. I thudded to the floor, the wind knocked out of me, and my right leg broken in two places. I panted heavily and closed my eyes.
"I've got no strings to hold me down," Gabe said, in my ear.
"But you do," Kronos said, laughing. I saw Annabeth's heartbroken face before I went unconscious.
