Chapter 14: Kidnapped

Percy sighed as he saw the top of the hill. He had to put his ship somewhere secluded so he had to walk a while.

He ran because he needed to get back to Nico as fast as he can. Then froze. What would happen to the borders? What would happen to Thalia?

He shook his head and resumed running. The camp rejected their help. And he was only gonna borrow it for a few hours. They probably won't notice.

He got to the top of the hill. Peleus was wrapped around the tree. Percy sighed. He didn't want to hurt the dragon. Hopefully, it'll keep sleeping.

The apprentice crept up to the tree, his eyes on Peleus. He carefully removed the Golden Fleece and started creeping back. He was just at the edge of the hill when the dragon's eyes snapped open. It roared at Percy, it's beady black eyes fixed on it's target. Him.

The teen's eyes widened and he turned. He ran as fast as he could, which was pretty fast. Percy risked a glance behind him, and regretted it. Peleus was slithering after him, and the creature was quick.

He kept running until he got to the ship. The raven haired boy threw himself into the cockpit and started flipping a bunch of switches. The dragon was getting closer. Oh gods, he needed to hurry.

The ship took off right as Peleus reached him. Percy tensed as he heard the sound of claws on metal. But he got in the air. He was fine. He was alive with the Golden Fleece. He could save Nico.

The demigod flew over the camp. The tree had wilted a little and some needles were turning yellow. Percy felt a moment of guilt. Then it was gone. Thalia's tree could hold on it's own for a day. He was sure.

It took a while to fly back, but when he did, he headed straight for the infirmary. Nico was laying there, a new bandage wrapped around his head. Jason was sitting in a chair next to him. Sadie was standing behind him, her hand on his shoulder and blue eyes shining with worry.

Percy felt a stab of jealousy, but he pushed it down. Jason's head snapped up when he heard the other boy enter. His eyes darkened when he saw him.

The former son of Poseidon strode past the blonde and placed the fleece on Nico's torso area. The change was immediate. His skin turned an olive color. Since he had stopped spending so much time in the Underworld, his skin was back to it's natural color. The younger boy's eyes snapped open. He sat up and started unwrapping the bandage. Underneath was nothing. No wound, blood, sweat. Nothing.

Nico groaned. "What in the Hades happened?"

"A piece of ceiling fell on your head," answered Jason. "You were out for two days."

"Two?" the former son of Hades's eyes widened. "Wow."

"Yeah," butted in Percy. "The Golden Fleece helped I guess."

"You took the Golden Fleece off my sister's tree?" Jason's expression turned stormy. "If anything happens to her, Jackson. I swear on the River S-"

"Nothing will happen to her," interrupted the raven haired boy. "Not for long at least. I only borrowed it for a few hours."

"Those few hours could kill her!" exploded the blonde.

"Why do you care so much?" shouted Percy. "I didn't see her standing up for us when we were banished!"

"She's my sister!"

"She betrayed you, Jason."

"I forgave her! Just like I forgave you!"

"For what?" Percy's face turned white. He already knew the answer.

"For hurting Nico. For hurting your brother," whispered the former son of Jupiter.

"Hey," interrupted Nico, holding his hands up. "I forgave him."

"Whatever," grumbled Percy, grabbing the fleece. "I'll go save the camp. Again."

The boy ran back to the hanger, jumped into his ship, and took off. What did Thalia do when they were banished? Stare at them with sympathetic eyes. There was something else there too, but Percy was to busy trying not to kill Zeus. Why was Jason getting all defensive of her? And why was he so angry? Percy just saved Nico from possible death. And who knows what Hades would do then if Nico was in his realm.

The demigod was so wrapped up in his own thoughts that he noticed that he passed the tree. Moaning he turned around. No need to park it far away. Just put the fleece on the tree and leave. Simple.

Turns out, it wasn't that simple. And that Percy Jackson's luck sucked. Like always.

"Percy?"

A female voice rang out as he climbed out of the vehicle. A female voice he knew.

Reyna and Will stood by the tree, decked out in full armor and weapons. Reyna had just spoken.

"Hey guys," he greeted, rubbing his neck sheepishly. "I needed to borrow this for a while."

"Percy, do you know how angry Zeus is right now?" asked Will, fearfully looking up at the sky. "Thalia's gone ill, and Zeus will kill you if he finds you. Why the Hades would you take that?"

"Nico was in trouble," answered Percy. "And Thalia will be fine. I'm putting it back."

"What's wrong with Nico?" asked the blonde boy, facial features etching into concern. Reyna was looking around, her expression wild.

"Nothing. He's fine now," the older demigod answered quickly.

"Percy, you need to leave," warned Reyna. "You need to go now!" Her eyes were wide as she stared at the boy.

The apprentice was about to ask what was wrong when he heard three pops behind him. He turned and saw three Olympians. Great. Can his day get any better?

Zeus was in front. He was decked out in armor that sparked and cackled. The Master Bolt was out fully. His expression was beyond mad. He kind of looked like Jason when Percy blew up his ship by accident. Hey! It wasn't his fault!

Poseidon was to his right. He wore dark blue armor. His bronze trident was at his side, and his expression was grave. Ugh. Why did he come.

Hades was to Zeus's left. He wore his Helmet of Darkness. His armor was midnight black, almost shadowy looking, and he held a stygian iron broadsword. Wait, since when did Hades have a freaking broadsword?

"Perseus Jackson," rumbled Zeus. "You shouldn't of come back. Especially alone. Not after you almost killed my daughter."

"Yeah," replied Percy. His brain whirred with all the possibilities that could happen right now. Most of them involved him dying. "I was just returning the Golden Fleece. I needed to borrow it." He patted it and placed it back on the tree.

"You're not leaving," Poseidon smirked. "Not after Chaos humiliated us." His former son groaned. Seriously. They should just let him go peacefully. He wasn't in the mood.

"C'mon, father," mocked the apprentice. "I bet I could take you any day." Why you traitorous mouth. Great. Piss off the Big Three.

This time, Hades laughed. He actually laughed. "Insolent demigod."

"Just stating the truth," said Percy, narrowing his eyes. Shut your mouth!

"Yes, but can you take all three of us?" Zeus asked before firing the bolt. Yeah, he was screwed.

Percy covered his eyes as not to be blinded, but when he opened them, Poseidon was there, trident swinging downward. Percy parried with Riptide. The sound resounded with a clang.

The boy stepped back and stamped his foot. The earth started shaking. Zeus stumbled and fell into some bushes. Hades gripped a tree tightly. Poseidon started staggering.

"Come on, Poseidon," smirked Percy. "You're the god of earthquakes. You can't be outdone by your son?"

"You're not my son," the god gritted his teeth. The earth was at war with itself. The shaking subsided a little.

"You've had billions of centuries to practice this, and yet I'm still beating you?" taunted his former son. "You can do better, pops."

Hades growled and intervened. He swung at the demigod's neck, but the bronze sword blocked it. Hades was all offense, but Percy blocked every stroke. The god could feel sweat starting to form, and he scowled. He would not lose to this stupid demigod again!

The shaking stopped as Hades distracted Percy. Poseidon stabbed at the boy's torso while Hades swung at his face, but Percy danced out of the trident's way while parrying the broadsword at the same time. He kicked Hades sword away from the death god's hand, then sidestepped the trident thrusted towards him.

Percy did a roundhouse kick to his former father's face and landed it. Poseidon's head snapped back. He stabbed through the armor and into Poseidon's stomach. The god cried out as ichor started pouring out of the wound. Zeus roared and ran towards him. He slashed with his bolt, and Percy blocked. He sliced at the god's armor, and cried out in surprise as he felt a shock travel up his arm. It started to go numb.

He did a cheap shot and kicked Zeus in a private place. Zeus squeaked as his hands flew there. The King of the Gods fell to his knees, face screwed up in pain. Damn, he should've gotten a picture! Two down, one to go.

Hades stood up, radiating darkness. Percy switched Riptide to his left hand since his right was numb. Then the demigod made a mistake. A fatal mistake.

He looked into Hades's eyes. They paralyzed him. The Helmet of Darkness started to do it's work. Percy fell to his knees as he was overloaded with images of his mother and Paul's corpses. Red sprayed on the walls. A message written in their blood. Traitor. He got images of Jason getting stabbed by the Minotaur, Nico's face deathly pale, Sadie's eyes shining with fear. Fear of him. All of his friends who died in the war. Bianca, Zoë, Lee, Beckendorf, Silena, Michael, Bob, Damaeson. The list goes on and on.

Zeus got up, smirking as the pesky demigod was on his knees, crying. Weak traitor.

Hades snapped his fingers and shadowy bonds wrapped themselves around the crying demigod. Poseidon stood up shakily, his wound healing slowly.

"We'll get that to Apollo," said Zeus. "We need to get some gods guarding this kid. No telling what he'll try to do."

Percy was openly crying as the deaths of everyone he cared about played over and over in his head. He barely registered the bonds on him. He noticed that they teleported away, but went back to mourning. This is all the Olympian's fault. They made brave people die. Good people die. It was all their fault.

"Lock 'em up," ordered Zeus once they got to Olympus. "And put some guards around him. Some people might try to break him out. I don't want that happening."

Ares laughed wickedly before grabbing the small boy by his neck. He carried him to a prison room. It was by the Olympian's rooms so they could get to where Percy was quickly. The god cackled as he chained him to the wall and slammed the door shut.

"See ya," he smirked. "You little runt."

Percy raised his head, his surroundings finally registering. A blank room. It had a bar door, but the rest of the walls were plain white. He moved to look out the door, but was stopped. He then noticed that his wrists and ankles were shackled to the wall. He couldn't move.

"Help me!" he screamed, his throat hoarse from all the sobbing.

He was chained to a room in Olympus. His friends don't know where he is. He's so dead. Even if he manages to escape, Chaos is so gonna kill him. Or, oh gods. Sadie was going to murder him, bring him back, then murder him again.

Then the real horror started happening. The walls started molding into an image. Percy watched as the white walls turned blue. But Crimson was sprayed on the walls. Traitor was written. He watched with horrified eyes as corpses came from out of the floor. His pregnant mom and Paul. They had cuts all over their bodies. Sally's stomach was cut open. Paul's left leg was blown off. They both had one word written continuously on their corpses. Traitor, traitor, traitor.

The boy screamed and screamed as he relived the worst moments in his life. Hot tears ran down his face as he screamed himself hoarse. And yet, he kept screaming.

/Line Break\

"He should be back by now!"

Sadie paced the room, eyes wild. Jason sat on the bed, running his hand through his hair. Nico leaned on the doorframe, arms crossed and a worried expression.

"Maybe he took a detour," suggested Jason weakly.

"It's been twelve hours since we've seen him, Jason," the magician said. "Twelve hours."

"I'm sure he's fine," replied Nico. "It's Percy. That boy cheats death again and again somehow. I mean, he survived going through Tartarus!"

"Maybe we should go to Chaos," worried Sadie. "He could be in trouble. He can't cheat death forever."

"I fear you are right."

All three figures turned around to see Chaos walk through the door. His expression was worrisome.

"I think Perseus is in trouble. We need to save him. Right now."

Author's Note: Here's another chapter! I put a lot of events in here. Was it rushed? Percy goes as gets the fleece, heals Nico, brings it back, fights the Big Three, gets kidnapped, and is now getting tortured. Poor Percy. Next chapter will have the other three apprentices going to save Percy. Tell me what you think, like, and what I can fix in the review. See ya!
