Lets start from where we left off, I'm gonna start like on TV
Last time on Hiding the Truth:
Percy
In. Out. In. Out. Breathe. You'll be okay. I'll be okay. I'm gonna be okay
I'm not gonna be okay! I'm not okay! Help me. Help me. Help me
It was the third day. It's gonna happen today. Oh my gods help me. Hehe look at that, the brave hero Percy Jackson is scared and hyperventilating. Hehe Okay. Help.
Yes of course I'm scared! But it was for my friends, it was for Annabeth. I have to go back to them. Whatever Polybotes throws at me I'll get through it. As long as he doesn't electrocute me again.
I shudder at the memory.
When I had connected Piper the first time, not the second (he hasn't found out about the second... shhhhh), Polybotes had tortured me by shocking me with high voltage shocks. It was excruciatingly painful and hurt a lot, and that's putting it mildly. I think I was on the line of life and death. Actually I'm always on the line of life and death. Ok then, I had my pinky toe on the life side and the rest of my body on death. That's how close I was to dying. After he stopped, I thought I died, then I opened my eyes and found I was still living and was looking at Polybotes' stupid face. Curse this life!
I hear big footsteps coming from the hallway
Oh my gods! He's here!
Polybotes walks through the doorway with a malicious smile on his face
"This will be fun" He said grinning maniacally
*initiate theme song* I don't have a theme song... I should, nah forget it, on with the story
I stood up and stared up at the giant, I like to say I glared at him but in truth I was probably shaking from head to toe.
Polybotes walked over to the control board in the lab and put his hand on a lever.
"Sweet dreams demigods"
Then he pulled the lever down and walked out.
Suddenly out of nowhere, my bubble started to fill up with a nauseous green gas. At first nothing changed but then I started to get really woozy.
I collapsed on the floor, unable to stand. My head hurt a lot.
My vision started to tunnel, I started to cough uncontrollably, I couldn't breath, then everything went black
I saw the Argo II and the rest of the crew, they started to yell things at me, hurtful things
"Leave him, he's not worth it!"
"You're so weak!"
"I can't believe I ever looked up to you"
"How can you call yourself a hero!"
"Pathetic!"
And worst of all was what Annabeth had said, "I can't believe I ever loved you, I HATE YOU!"
No this isn't real, it's not real, Stop it! STOP IT!
"WEAK!"
"PATHETIC"
"NOT WORTH IT!"
"HATE YOU"
stop, please stop, I found myself clutching my head, stop
I went black again with all the words still swirling in my mind
I was in the throne room, all the Olympians were there, but none of my friends
"Perseus Jackson! For harming our children you will be sent to Tartarus" Zeus boomed
"No I wouldn't!"
"Percy" My father said, I turned towards him, tears threating to spill
"You a sorry excuse for a son! You disgust me! I Poseidon disown you!"
Thunder flashed and I the scene disappeared again.
It showed the Giants, they were fighting against the crew, except this time I was helping them.
"Good Perseus now go after the child of Athena!"
My feet started walking toward Annabeth
What am I doing?! Stop!
But I couldn't stop, it was like I wasn't in control.
I hit Annabeth and she fell to the floor
"Percy, please"
I wanted to back away, to help her up, but I didn't, I raised up my sword and it came down, right over her heart.
Only then was I in control, I fell near her body, weeping. I'm the worst person ever, I deserve to be thrown into Tartarus.
I closed my eyes wanting to die
I shot right up, oh thank gods it was only a nightmare, one of the worst ones ever in my life. It had all of my worst fears, some I didn't even know existed.
It was then when I first took in my surroundings. I was strapped to a chair in a plain room, the walls were mirrors and everything was white. The chair was like the ones in the dentist office, except I couldn't get out. My wrist, ankles, neck, and abdomen, were all cuffed to the chair.
Then a door opened behind me, I had limited vision so I'm not sure who came in, but I have a good guess. I guess what? I was right
"Did you have a good nap Perseus?"
"Hardly" I responded harshly, "Now what's going on!"
"Well I guess I'll tell you my evil plan now that you can't do anything about it and your friends are far from here"
My stare hardened
"Everything went perfectly! And all of you fell for it! The first day when you were in the dungeon, we held you in Athens! The demigods started there way there but were slow since my army had still destroyed a bit of it and delayed them. They went to Athens only to find that you weren't there! HAHA! We moved you to Crete while when we knocked you out. You remember that right?"
I did, I haven't thought about it though, he whipped me until I fell unconscious, then I woke up in the bubble.
"How did you get here so fast in one day?"
"Lets just say that Gaea is still helpful"
I grunted in reply
"And you know those dreams you had? Acting"
Are you freakin kidding me?!
"So you aren't taking my power?"
"It came across our minds but we thought it would take to long to figure them out, so we decided to let someone do it for us"
I stared blankly at him, then I understood
"I'd never help you!"
"Oh we know that! You won't but Perseus will"
"You are really stupid you know that! I told you I wouldn't help and calling me different names won't persuade me" I retorted
"You still don't get it do you? Ha, I wouldn't be surprised this is extreme planning and you are so oblivious"
I growled at him, "Tell me" I said through clenched teeth
"We are going to brainwash you, you won't be in control of your body, your evil side will. And he'll be great help, especially since you have now unlocked a great power within you"
"What great power?"
"The transformation into a Pegasus? No child of Poseidon has ever done that before, you are the most powerful demigod in history Perseus, and we will use that to our advantage, your evil side will use it more than you would which is even better"
"I don't have an evil side!"
"Everyone does, you will eliminate your friends when they come to 'rescue you' when we are done"
"The trap..." I dawned on me, "I'm the trap"
"That you are Perseus Jackson
Then he walked out of the room
I waited in silence for a while, wondering what would happen
I can get through this right? I'm stronger than whatever he'll do. I won't
I started to hear a whirring sound, it got louder and louder, it got so loud that I could shout at the top of my lungs and you wouldn't hear anything except the awful sound.
Then, pain
I screamed, no one could here but I screamed
THE PAIN! It was beyond anything I ever felt before. I wanted to die.
"KILL ME!" I screamed, but I didn't die.
It could have been my imagination but I could have sworn I heard Polybotes laughing, laughing at my pain.
The pain eventually stopped after what seemed like hours.
Then, thankfully,I blacked out but my vision came back shortly.
I wasn't in the room anymore, but it was quite similar. I was shackled against the wall and felt extremely weak
There was a control board at the front with a huge screen on the wall. There was a boy sitting on an office chair, his feet kicked back on the control board.
He had raven black hair like me, and from where I was, looked about the same height.
"Who are you?" I asked, my voice so weak I couldn't even believe it was mine.
He spun the chair around and looked at me with his soulless black eyes.
"I am Perseus Jackson, your evil side"
Annabeth
"Leo hurry!"
"I'm going as fast as I can Annabeth!"
"Well go faster!"
We were still far from Crete and we needed to go faster.
"Annabeth we can't go any faster" Piper said
"I don't care!"
"If we go any faster the ship will combust Annabeth!" Leo said
"I don't care if the ship sinks Leo, we need to go faster!"
"Annabeth what's wrong you seem really tense"
"He's in trouble Piper! I'm not sure how I know but I can feel it! He's in pain! If we don't hurry up it may be too late! Something could happen to him! He could be- could be-" I couldn't say it
"He's not dead Annabeth"
"How do you know that?!"
"You said it yourself you could feel him, that means he's not dead"
I sniffed, "He's in pain Piper, and it's my fault"
"How could it possibly be your fault Annabeth?"
"I FELL OFF THE SHIP! I LET HIM GO! I DIDN'T STOP HIM! I KNEW SOMETHING WAS GOING ON WITH HIM BUT I LET HIM BE! I AM THE CAUSE OF WHY HE IS IN PAIN PIPER!"
Piper fell silent, I fell on the ship floor whimpering, "It's all my fault"
Piper sat down next to me, "So do you have this connection with Percy?"
I looked at her gratefully, she changed the subject to something I'm comfortable talking about, "I've never told anyone this but yea you could say we have a connection."
"How?"
"Well you know how we held the sky at one point and we got matching gray streaks?" I asked her
She nodded her head, remembering the story at Camp Half Blood
"Well I think that's how we got the connection, the streaks faded but the connection didn't, but it only works when Percy is in trouble or in immense pain."
"What does it feel like?" She asked
"Well it depends on how severe the situation is, if he is fighting a monster, I feel a small tug in my gut, the tug is worse when Percy's situation is worse. I've had some sleepless nights recently, right now the tug is small"
"Does Percy feel the same way?"
"Yeah, he does"
"That's so cute!"
"Aphrodite Piper!"
"Oh shut up"
We giggled on the deck floor for a while and then just sat in silence.
"Gah!" I yelled out
"Annabeth what's wrong!"
"Percy! Piper it hurts! He's in trouble! Big trouble!"
"Leo!" I yelled holding my stomach, "How far!"
"A few miles!"
"Please go faster!"
"Ah!" It was really bad
"Piper, he's in trouble"
