Percy

Her scream replayed in his head. Annabeth was talking about a recent development with the prophecy but the connection kept cutting out. Static filled the message, then came back clear for a brief moment. Long enough to hear her scream and vanish from the image. Percy tried to send another message but Chiron answered. He broke the news she was gone.

After the lake incident Percy sat on his bed in the dark. He should have seen this coming. No matter how hard they fight, they were always separated from each other. It was as if the world constantly wanted them to prove their love for each other. The thing is, they always won. 'I'm going to find you.' He spoke to Annabeth. He knew somehow she would hear him. A knock on the door broke his concentration. He opened it and Piper, Nico and Aaron filed in.

"Where's Jason?" Piper questioned searching the small room. Percy responded with a shrug.

"I think he went to Kappa Sigma. Apparently they might have some answers." Percy allowed himself to fall back on his bed and look at the celling. "Any reason why the Justice League was assembled?"

"The MIP's gave me a visit 20 minutes ago." She showed them a small piece of paper with Mu Iota Pi on it. "Apparently I got in."

"Got in? Isn't there a pledge process?" Aaron questioned.

"Not this semester. They decided to give us a bid to join, and should we accept, we are sisters. Something about learning with your sisters, not to become one."

"Greek Life's a cult." Nico spoke dryly.

"They have what they need. Let me guess, initiations tonight?" Percy felt his rage building. Piper just nodded her head.

"We're going to save her." She responded.

"Where?" Percy got up and uncapped riptide.

"I don't know. We are supposed to meet at the docks at 11:00."

"So we'll be there to. Witches made a bad decision doing anything by the water." Percy looked at the clock. He didn't know what he was going to do for 4 hours while they waited.

"The rest of the girls are getting ready at another girls dorm so I'll have to meet you there." Piper turned and walked out the door. Halfway through the doorway she turned around. "Remember. I promise we will find her." She shut the door behind her. Percy looked at Nico and Aaron wondering why they didn't leave with her. He was in no mood to be the leader.

"Percy..." Aaron started.

"No." He cut him off. "Nothing you're going to say is going to make this alright. None of you are going to make me feel better so please just stop." Percy didn't mean to be rude, but everyone's puppy eyes were beginning to annoy him. Aaron turned and walked towards the door, while Nico stood in silence. At least Nico had the decency to not say anything. The door shook.

"Guys I can't open it." Aaron said with his hand on the handle

"What?" Percy got up and pulled on the door. It was jammed. "Seriously!?" slammed his fists against the door. He uncapped riptide and slashed at the door. The intensity he hit the door with pushed back on him throwing him against the wall. They were trapped. Percy threw the chair against the wall shattering it into splinters.

"Well that doesn't solve anything." Nico said from the bed.

"Why don't you get us out of here then Nico?" Percy snapped back. Nico looked as if he was going to retaliate but the Aaron put his hands up.

"Guys, aren't we asking the wrong question here? We know we're trapped, but why?" They shared looks at each other.

"Witches." Percy growled.

"Well if that's true our cover is completely blown and Pipers walking into an onslaught." Nico looked out the window. Aaron walked to the wall and notice a something slip under the door. It was a note. Aaron picked it up and read it.

"Stay safe. A." Aaron exhaled.

"Aphrodite! Fuck!" Percy hollered. He sat on the opposite bed while Aaron sat on the unbroken chair.

"What now?" Aaron said to no one particular. At that moment wind started blowing around the room. Papers from notebooks flew all around them. "What now?" Aaron screamed repeating himself.

"You mortals are always so quick to give up." The wind spoke. Nico's eyes bulged.

"No no no! We are not doing this now!" He screamed. 'I thought I was messed up' Percy thought to himself.

"Hush little Nico. You of all people know you cannot control my ways besides," A teen with long black hair, a white t-shirt, white pants and white angel wings stood in the middle of the room. "You need me if you are ever going to get out of here."

"What do you need Eros." Percy spoke. No formal introduction needed.

"Cupid please, we're amongst Greeks." He smiled at them. Percy saw Aaron staring in awe of Cupid. It was a 50/50 chance that was his father.

"Your mother locked us in here." Nico said with vengeance.

"Don't try to wrap your head around the will of the gods. It's only going to give you a migraine." Cupid stretched his wings, and they dissolved into tattoos, the top of which peeked out from under his shirts collar. Percy couldn't believe this was the same dick that Nico fought. Maybe he Greek form was less of an Ass-hat.

"How are you going to help us?" Percy asked calming his nerves.

"A potion." Cupid waved his hand and a vial appeared. "One of you needs to drink this. It's going to cause you to face your deepest fears. You'll either succeed and figure out a way out of here, or be paralyzed in fear in here forever. One of you needs to face their fears and win. "

"What's that got to do with you? I thought you only did love?" Percy had no desire to play this game.

"Do you know anything more terrifying than love?" Cupid turned to Aaron. "So you're the newbie." He analyzed the demigod. "You do clean up nice." With a wink he disappeared leaving the vial on the table.

"I don't trust him." Nico said ending the silence. Before he could speak again Percy grabbed the vial and drank the liquid. The walks liquefied as he found himself back in Tarterus. He started to run but the he was surrounded by every villain he had ever faced. Giants and Titans glared at him not allowing him to move.

"Percy Jackson." Kronos spoke. "For your crimes against us you are faced to spend eternity…..here." The voices of his past cheered in victory. Paralyzed he watched as a Giant brought out his mother and Stepfather.

"What are you doing with them?!" He screamed before he could move a hellhound ripped them to shreds leaving pieces of flesh on the ground.

'"NO!" He shouted. Every few minutes the army would bring out someone he loved and executed them in front of him. Percy was powerless to move a muscle. Tears fell down his face as Percy's body started to convulse. 'It's not real' he told himself. That's when he looked up and saw Annabeth walking with a baby in her arms. Her eyes were bloodshot and skin was pale.

"Ah, my new queen." Kronos spoke with a sinister laugh.

"Yes my lord." She walked up and stood next to the army of titans.

"What's going on?" Percy was barely able to speak.

"It's called survival seaweed brain. You didn't think the Daughter of Athena wouldn't calculate risks and rewards. I was with you when you were winning….and now…well." She just smiled. "Oh I almost forgot. No need for this thing anymore." Annabeth pulled out her dagger and drove it into the blanked in her arms. Percy let out a scream that paralyzed his body.
