Annabeth's P.O.V
I stared at Hades like he had just grown into a pig with a mustache. I turned my head to look at Percy. He looked at me and his eyes screamed panic.
"But..no...uh..I..can't? stumbled Percy. I looked at Hades hoping he would burst out laughing and tell us it was a joke, but he didn't.
"You must." commanded Hades. I looked like he was shooting rays of fear down our backs. I gulped.
"Can't we...let him go?" I asked, hopefully. Hades burst out laughing. I shot a look at Percy. He didn't seem to notice. I could tell he was too busy thinking. When Hades stopped laughing he looked at me and scowled.
"For a daughter of Athena you seem to be as dense as wood, demigod." My cheeks burnt with rage and embaressment.
"You can't go against the gods, fool." announced Hades, his voice filled with power. Then he turned his head and looked at Percy. "Speak. Will you do this, for the gods?" he bellowed. Percy froze. A moment passed. Percy shook his head, hard. Hades stared at Percy with such force I thought he must explode.
"You dare go against me? God of the underworld? I would destroy you, demigod. But that isn't my task." mummered Hades. He looked down and for a moment all was quiet.
" I have it. It may not be perfect, but come on..sometimes you gotta adjust." he chuckled.
"What?" I asked, confused.
"If you must know, if Percy won't kill Nico then he'll have to kill you." said Hades, calmly. I gaped in horror.
"You can't make him do that." I object.
"Oh yes I can." said Hades. Hades walked towards Percy, striding slow and casually. He leans close to Percy.
"I will, if I must take over your body and have you kill both of them. And yourself too." he rasped. Percy gulped hard and heavy. I could hear him breathing from her. Forced and ragged breaths.
"So will you kill him?" asked Hades, impatiently. Percy pauses.
"Too late." cut Hades. He stepped back and paused I couldn't hear any words but I ehard him mummbling. His eyes flashed and I saw red and white in his eyes. Then suddenly, he vanished.
"PERCY!" I scream. Percy laughs.
"No use, demigod." said Percy, actually Hades. I screamed. Percy/Hades arose. The knots around his arms and legs instantly opened and fell off. Percy/Hades stretched. He grapped the knife that was in Nico's hand. He came closer. That's when I realized his eyes were green with red and white. I scream at the top of my lungs.
"HEEEELLP!" This could not be happening. No self respected girl could be killd from her demigod boyfriend who was possesed by the god of the underworld who was his uncle. I tried to back away. No use. He strided over the knife in his hand.
"I'm sorry. Oh wait. No, I'm not." chuckled Percy/Hades. I gulped and closed my eyes. If this was how it was going to end, so be it. I could hear him getting closer and breathing harder. I took a deep breath and let it out.
"Hope I'll see you down there." said Percy/Hades. Then, I felt the breath get knocked out of me.
I tried to open my eyes, but I was dead or blacked out.
Either way I was a gonner.
As I lyed there, I thought one thought only.
How bad can death be?
