Hello my faithful readers. I hate to inform you, but I must revert to rant mode because I have to get this out. My girlfriend (the one that I was so happy about) had been… unfaithful I guess? A dear friend of mine overheard her saying that she wanted to break up with me already. It's been 11 days and even before that she told me that she really liked me. I feel like a real jackass now. I'm not begging for sympathy, so if that's why you think I'm writing this then you're a jackass too, but I use my writing to express my feelings and right now I feel like blowing something up. Enjoy the blood and gore.

Thalia's PoV
"It's on Cynthia…" I looked up and then recognized the voice.
"Victor!" I shouted. The cloaked figure nodded and got into a battle stance in front of the girl, who was apparently Cynthia.
"Ah, Victor! It's nice to finally get to watch you die," Cynthia said. I could see Victor smirk from under his hood.
"You'll see death today, but I assure you it won't be mine," Victor replied. Cynthia scowled and attacked. She used her nunchucks to fling icy beams at Victor as he deflected them with his scythe easily. After Cynthia got tired of this, she started attacking melee style. She swung her nunchucks at Victor's scythe and they wrapped around it. Victor, being much stronger, pulled her over and swung his scythe at her head. As it hit, she blew up into a puff of snow.
"Woo, glad that's over. Let's go!" I shouted. I turned and Cynthia was right in my face. She grabbed her nunchucks and swung them at me, hitting me in the face. I saw blood in my left eye and my face was slowly freezing.
"THALIA!" I heard a raspy voice say. I turned and saw Nico holding his throat.
"Nico? You… you talked!" I shouted while dodging Cynthia's other attacks as best I could. He nodded and pointed at Cynthia. I turned my head a bit to see the nunchucks coming again, but I was too late. They hit me in the chest and froze my lungs. I couldn't breathe at all.
Victor's PoV
I wasn't sure what surprised me more; Nico talking after I unfroze him, or Thalia being frozen. Nico didn't act surprised though, he just focused on helping her. He ran forward and kicked Cynthia into her desk and started breaking the ice around Thalia with a dagger. I, on the other hand, started attacking Cynthia. I swung my scythe at her and she rolled under it, swinging her nunchucks at me. I jumped over them and brought my scythe down on her back, and she crumpled as a purple light surrounded the wound. Everyone gathered around as Cynthia looked up at me with pain in her eyes.
"How could you Victor? I know we aren't friends anymore, but using your powers on me? Do you hate me that much?" She asked.
"You hurt my soldiers and you hurt me. Don't think I have forgotten about you cheating on me," I said. Cynthia looked at the floor and the purple light around her wound grew.
"I'm sorry Victor, but I loved him!" She shouted. My eyes changed for the second time in the entire time in two days. Again, they grew dark and began sucking the light out of the air as the light around Cynthia's wound grew to the point where it covered her entire torso.
"Then you should've told me instead of going behind my back and cheating! Do you know how much pain you put me through? I killed myself twice because of that. The only reason I'm still here is that I'm bound to this Earth by Death itself. I honestly don't think I'll ever regret this Cynthia, you brought it upon yourself," I finished by swinging my scythe at Cynthia's wound, which exploded into purple light. When the light died Cynthia was lying there with a dead look in her eyes, but her wound was gone. Her skin had also grown considerably paler and her irises were pale violet. Cynthia sat up for a second and whispered.
"Well played Victor…" then she fell over and her body faded.
"Well that was… I don't even know," Thalia said. I looked at Thalia.
"I took her soul away. I faded her from existence…" there was an awkward silence after that.
"Well… I guess we get Percy back now?" Thalia asked. I nodded and picked up my scythe.
"Give me a second…" I said. I drew a circle on the floor with my scythe and then wrote PERCY JACKSON in it in capital letters. Then I stood back and swung my scythe and it ejected a pure black beam that struck the circle and there was a flash of light. When it died down Percy was standing in place of the circle.
"Percy!" Thalia shouted running and hugging him. She let go and Percy gave her a blank look.
"Oh yeah, I forgot to mention… he has no memory of anything except his name and basic English, Greek, and Latin. I probably should have brought that up, but I didn't think you'd actually survive long enough to get to Cynthia… bye!" I shadow-traveled away.
Nico's PoV
"Percy… you really don't remember?" I asked him, my vocal cords straining to make noise. He shook his head and shrugged. I frowned and almost cried.
"Percy…" Thalia trailed off. Rich, whom I had forgot was there stepped up and finally said something.
"I've seen this before… he can be cured. He has to be reminded of how he died and why he should keep living or he'll be stuck in a sort of Limbo state until he is either killed or the requirements are met," Rich said. I nodded.
"Okay… let us begin!" I shouted.
DONE! Okay, I guess there wasn't as much gore as I wanted, but oh well. I hope you enjoyed this chapter, because writing is probably the only thing between me and suicide right now. Review, favorite, follow, whatever you want. Bye. ~AssassnOfNeptune
