Chapter Three

Percy woke up groggily. What the heck happened. He sat up to look around the room.

Big mistake. He groaned as his head pounded. He closed his eyes in pain lied backed down. Finally, the pain passed. He opened his eyes again, but wisely didn't sit up. From where is head was propped on a pillow, he could see his sheets were a lime green. He lifted them up to see he that he lay on ocean blue sheets.

He looked up and the walls were also an ocean blue. What was strange was that they seemed to be moving, as if the walls were made of the sea itself. The ceiling however, seemed as if Percy was sleeping beneath the night sky. It was decorated with stars and he could see Saturn along with other planets spread across the ceiling. He was surprised when he saw a comet fly across the inky blackness above him.

He sat up and was pleased to find that he wasn't hit with a pulsing headache like before. Against the far wall from his bed, was a fountain. The structure was of marble and water sprayed into the basin. It wasn't too big or too small, which Percy liked. From a smaller basin placed above the larger body of the fountain, water trickled down like a lazy waterfall.

Behind the fountain was a large window which was currently covered in curtains. Percy looked around the rest of the room was a basic layout of a bedroom. To the right of the bed was a small couch next to some books which Percy doubted he would read. To the left of the bed was a dresser and a mirror. Placed on the left wall, near the far wall, was a door.

Upon this realization, Percy swung his legs out of bed and jostled the door. Locked. He grunted in frustration and went to look at the fountain. He wondered if he could send Iris Messages with it. That was probably what it was for, like the one in the Poseidon cabin.

He tried to open up the curtains, but the folds didn't seem to have an opening. He growled in irritation. He was tired of being confined. "Open up you stupid curtains!" he yelled.

Immediately the curtains drew open, letting the light in. After spending so much time in the dark, Percy was blinded by the light and began seeing spots. After his vision cleared he could see that the window revealed a magnificent view of a cliff side overlooking the ocean.

His headache began to return from the sudden amount of light and wanted to close the curtains. Like before, they obeyed his command. He stared in wonder at the curtains. If he could make them close at his thought, then what else could he do to this room?

"The room obeys your every command," a voice said.

Percy whirled around and found the same woman in the black dress, looking at him with a smirk.

"You knocked me out, where did you take me?" Percy demanded, feeling for his pen.

"Relax, Percy, you will not be harmed here," she reassured.

"Who are you?" he asked suspiciously, loosening his grip on the pen in his pocket.

"Me? Why I am the Creator. You know, ruler of the universe, maker of existence. In short, my name is Chaos."

Percy raised an eyebrow. "Wait, I thought Chaos was a guy."

"Chaos" chuckled. "Many people believed so. For a while I was. Since so many people believed I was male, for a few millenia I manifested as one. But no, I was originally female and I prefer to be female."

"Okay, why'd you bring me here?" Percy asked.

"I have been watching you and no I have not been stalking you," she said with a smirk causing Percy to blush because those were the exact thoughts he was thinking. "You have always been a great hero and a selfless one too. You have surpassed the heroes before you. Anyone who had accomplished even a tenth of what you had done would be as arrogant as a god. As you walked in the forest, I could sense your thoughts. If I had allowed to continue, you would have committed suicide and nothing is worth that."

"Annabeth is!" Percy shouted, furious that Chaos would disregard the love he felt for Annabeth.

"Let me finish!" Chaos snarled. Percy knit his eyebrows but shut his mouth. "Now if you will let me continue, I was going to say that I took you. I could see that you could not go on, at least not mentally. So I took you here, to my palace where I placed you in a comatose state in order for your mind to heal. You have been asleep for 2 years."

"What?! I've been asleep for 2 years here?" Percy cried.

Chaos kept a calm face. "Yes, you can hear right, correct?"

Percy blushed. "I'm sorry, it's just, I just woke up about 2 month ago er, 2 years and 2 months ago from when Hera put me to sleep."

"I understand that but you needed to heal. Just before you woke up, I erased all your dreams that you had while you were asleep. You should thank me, you have been reliving all the pain of your past within your sleep. Now your mind is cleansed."

"What do you mean cleansed? I'm still in pain. Annabeth is gone! The gods have won! I have nothing to live for! I don't understand why you kept me alive! I want to die!" Percy shouted, the pain of Annabeth's death coming back full blast.

Chaos smirked. "Are you sure about that?"

Percy's eyes hardened and he tightened his jaw. "Yes, I want to die."

"Say that again Seaweed Brain."
