Percy's POV

Percy woke up with a start. His back was aching and his head was pounding. When his head had settled slightly Percy looked around at the room he was in. He was in a large room made of grey stone slabs that had a table in the centre, the room was dimly lit apart from a spot light on the table and one just behind him. However, Percy could just about make out the shape of an iron door directly across from him. 'A way out!' he thought. Even if Percy wasn't the smartest of demigods he had already figured out that if the monsters hadn't killed him, something worse was probably going to happen. He shuddered as he remembered the bone chilling laugh that had filled his skull. 'No' he thought 'I'm just getting myself worked up for nothing. He's dead.' Despite the logical thinking Percy did not calm down, just the thought of the titan coming back terrified him.

Knowing it wouldn't be long before his capture came to check on him, Percy jumped to his feet and began to run to the door. As he moved he heard a low rattling sound, but dismissed the thought for later instead focusing on getting out. But the fates were not with him, as Percy put his hands on the table and jumped to vault over it he was roughly dragged backwards. He fell back down to the floor and landed on his back with a groan of pain. A moan of pain passed Percy's lips as he pushed himself to sit up, he now noticed something he had not before. There, around his ankle, was a celestial bronze cuff. When turned his head to look behind him Percy could see the length of chain that went from his cuff to a ring in the floor by the wall. Someone really didn't want him to leave.

"Escape is futile." The cold voice came from all around him, making it so that Percy had no idea where the speaker was. "Those chains are made so that not even a god could escape them." The voice spat. Percy sat up straight and tensed, he was beginning to recognise the voice and if his suspicion was correct he was in deep schist. "Oh look," the voice drawled "even the most stupid of demigods recognises me." Percy's green eyes widened and his breathing elevated as the metal door creaked open. He hurriedly moved backwards across the floor, trying to see over the table. Hoping he was wrong. Unfortunately, he wasn't. When he could finally see over the table his eyes met gold. "But I suppose you would. Grandson." Kronos sneered.

The titan king stalked forward until he was just on the other side of the table, barely two metres from Percy. Now he could see him properly Percy noticed that Kronos didn't look like Luke anymore, instead he had brown hair and a cruel smirk was plastered on his face and the titan now towered above him at a height of six foot seven. However, his eyes were the same endless pools of molten gold. Percy gulped at the figure in front of him before he attempted to push down his fear, if he was going to be his prisoner Percy was at least not going to show the fear he truly felt. No, he was going to put on a brave show and not give Kronos the satisfaction of seeing him fall. In a moment of bravery Percy stood up and looked straight into the titans eyes.

"You can't be here." He said, trying to stop his voice from quivering. "We destroyed you." "No. You didn't." Kronos shook his head as if he was talking to a small child. "Yes, you killed Castellan and halted my plans. Something you are going to pay for by the way." Percy gulped again, knowing he would not enjoy whatever his enemy was referring to. "But you did not destroy me, I'm not stupid enough to put all my chips in one corner. Part of my essence stayed down here, gaining power and strength. Admittedly it will take a while for me to rise out of this pit again, but the gods are clueless I have time." He laughed humourlessly at his own joke. "And I would've waited for revenge as well. But you were foolish enough to come down here, handing yourself to me on a silver platter." The titan king paused and smirked in a way that sent shivers running up Percy's spine. "You should've left when you had the chance." He concluded.

For the entirety of Kronos' monologue the two had been perfectly still, now the titan took a threatening step towards Percy, coming around the table. The teen quickly backed up, his hand instantly going into his pocket. But his trusted weapon wasn't there. It had been taken from him; the magic broken. Now weaponless with a titan lord stalking towards him, all Percy could do was move away and pray to every god he could think of. But no help came. Suddenly, his back hit the cool wall. "End of the line hero." Kronos chuckled maliciously. He waved his hand and Percy was once again froze. Percy realised that the titan could've just done that from the start, but he wanted to see the demigod's fear. The teen tried to glare at the man before him, but it soon melted away into a terrified plea.

The king laughed loudly. "You do not scare me hero, you may have helped those idiots defeat my mother. But there is nothing you can do to save yourself." Percy's eyes instantly lit up despite his situation. "They did it? They defeated Gaia! They're safe!" He cheered despite himself, finding he could still use his voice in his frozen state. "You can do what you want to me, I don't care. I helped them. I did what was necessary for them to win. They are safe!" The titan realised that he shouldn't have let the demigod know his friends had won, but he had got too caught up in his gloating and it was too late now. Not giving the demigod chance to speak again Kronos stepped towards him and moved Percy's frozen limbs so he was in a star shape. His fear came soaring back as metal shackles were fastened around his wrists and ankles. Making it so that Percy could no longer move.

Kronos stepped back and Percy unfroze. But by now it was too late, he was already secure and there was no way he could break the godly bonds. "Don't worry Perseus, I intend to do whatever I want." Kronos finally replied, taking out his scythe. He swung it around and cut two deep gashes along Percy's chest, he had to bite his lip to stop the cry of pain. He was determined not to give Kronos the satisfaction. "And there is nothing you can do about it." His enemy cackled, swinging the weapon again. This time cutting a line along the teens face.

*One year later*

Percy groaned loudly as the scythe was removed from his thigh, the wound instantly began to leak blood down his leg. But it was barely noticeable as it just blended in with the dried remnants from his previous sessions with the titan. He had been in the care of Kronos for a year now and he was already heavily scarred from the daily torture, much more so than any 18 year old should be. "I recently realised something." The titan announced, spinning his scythe in one hand; flicking the demigod's blood around the room. "One day you're going to get old and die. That's not going to be any fun. So, I've come up with a solution. I'm going to make you half immortal, like Artemis' girl scouts. Then you will only die if I let you."

Percy groaned again, death had been his escape. He knew the titan would never willingly let his play thing go and if he couldn't die, Percy didn't see an end to his torture. He would never see his friends or his wise girl again. Kronos was obviously pleased with the reaction as he smiled viciously before stalking forwards. "What's wrong Perseus?" He called mockingly. In the past Percy would've told the titan off for using his full name, but it didn't matter to him anymore. He had bigger issues. "Were you hoping for a way out? A way to see your little friends again? Did you really think I'd let you be that happy?" The boy hung his head and let a tear fall from his eye as it sunk in the he would be stuck with Kronos forever. Percy had never looked so helpless in his time with Kronos, and it pleased the titan greatly to see him cry.

"Now, now Perseus." He chided, sliding a hand under his chin. The boy flinched violently away from his touch. But the titan just dug his nails into the flesh, making it so the demigod could not escape his grasp. "I thought you would be pleased to know that you could stay here. But apparently not. Oh well, I don't need your permission to do this." Kronos chuckled. "It'll just hurt more this way." He finished ominously. Percy's brain went into overload as he processed the information, quickly he tried to tug his chin out of his captors hand while he thrashed against the shackles holding him to the wall. But it was all for nothing. The titan simply gripped the teens chin tighter until he drew blood, when that did not stopping him Kronos kneed his prisoner in the stomach. Percy groaned in pain as his limbs fell still again.

"That would not have been necessary" Kronos hissed "if you hadn't tried to escape. This is your fate, a heroes fate, you better get used to it." Percy opened his eyes again and glared at Kronos, they burned with hatred and with the need to be free. "You cannot keep me here forever." Percy said, finally finding his voice. "The sea cannot be retrained!" An anger that rivalled the one in his eyes laced the son of Poseidon's voice. But the titan king just yawned loudly. "I've heard that how many times? Yet your still here." He mocked, speaking as if Percy was a child who had been naughty. Suddenly, without any warning the titan pulled back his free hand and pressed his index finger to Percy's forehead. The teen hero let loose a blood-curdling scream as a searing fire raced through him, burning away his mortality.

So what did you guys think of the newest chapter? Did any of you guess that the 'mystery' captor was Kronos? We are still in the time before the prologue (99 years to be exact) I'll let you know at the start of each chapter how much time I skipped - this time it followed straight on, but Percy was unconscious for a week.
