Hey guy Jacksonofthesea here. This is the first story I have posted on here and I hope you like it.
I was thinking of doing this an Apollo/Percy story but I'm not sure. I might keep it that way if I feel like it, but I was wondering if this might end some other person or god/Percy. Please message me if you have suggestions for the pairing!

"AHHHHHH" I screamed as she stabbed me twice more in the side and in chest cavity.
Darkness started taking over just as I heard Annabeth laugh, which then drastically turned into a scream, then all there was, was silence.
Percy woke to the sound of nervous chatter. The hushed whispers seemed to be all him. He opened his eyes, only to hiss with the sudden brightness. All the talking stopped when they heard the noise. He kept his eyes closed and waited for the stab of pain from a dagger or sword.
Only the pain never came. He waited only he heard a hesitant voice call his name, it sounded familiar, but it seemed that familiar wasn't to be trusted, he learned that lesson the hard way. Just then he heard movement to his right and someone had placed their hands on his arm.
His whole body tensed and felt that his arms were free of restraints, and that he was no longer in the chair he had come adjusted to. He then rolled to the left and jumped to his feet. He stood in a defensive crouch and tried to see through bleary eyes.
Somebody had tried to get closer to him, only to have Percy back away until his back hit the wall. He gasped as all the pain came rushing to him at once.
"It's okay Percy, we won't hurt you" came a calming voice. But it only seemed to scare the wild boy more.
Percy's eyes adjusted and he saw that he was in a white room that looked to resemble a hospital. He looked up to the forms of 5 different people. His head was spinning but he could recognize his father and Apollo among the mix of gods. He felt something drip from his nose, he reached up and wiped at his nose.
All he saw was red dripped from his hand before he got to dizzy to crouch and fell on his butt to the ground. He cried out in pain as the pain hit him again but this time twice as hard. See the pain the young demigod was in the god of healing ran to his side in an attempt to take away his pain.
Percy tried shoving Apollo away, but Apollo was stronger. "We're here to help you, please stop fighting me" Apollo said desperately.
"STOP, PLEASE STOP" Percy sobbed as he slowly fell into the darkness once again.
Poseidon's PoV (flashback)
I watched as the demigod leading the quest was left at another dead end. I growled in frustration as I swiped my hand through the Iris message. It had been a month of searching for his lost son, but it was hopeless, getting so close to finding him only to come up with another disappointment.
"Relax; I know we'll fine him. I know we're getting close" Apollo said as he tried to calm me before I caused (another) earthquake.
"WHAT IF IT ISN'T, what if he isn't?" I seethed dangerously
"I just have a feel that were searching in the right place" Apollo said worriedly as he backed away from me. "The demigods are close Uncle, they're reaching the end of the Labyrinth and I know this is the way" he continued
"I hope you're right Apollo, I just don't want to lose him after all that has happened" I sighed
"Don't worry Hades said himself that Percy was alive, and my Oracle had issued the quest, we will find him" Apollo looked at me with determination in his eyes
"You'r-" I started when a yell rang throughout the room. "We found him" a cry came from the hall.
"WHAT? WHERE? WHERE IS MY SON?" I bellowed. Hermes came sprinting down the hall just as I shouted, "Calm Uncle, the questing demigods haven't retrieved him yet, though they have merely found his location" Hermes replied softly.
"He must be brought to Olympus immediately." The three of us turned around to see Zeus lurking behind them.
"Father" Hermes shifted nervously from foot to foot "Do you think that is wise" Hermes finished shooting me a worried look. "What wouldn't that be a wise idea?" I asked angrily.
"He will be safest here and it would be too much of a fuss to keep him at the camp" Zeus ended with a demanding tone in his voice, letting Hermes and the rest of us know that it was his final decision.
"Poseidon would not disagree that that would be the best choice, plus we'd have Apollo near at all times, just in case of accident" Zeus finished with an impassive look.
"What do you mean by 'just in case of accident' brother?" I thought out loud as I wondered angrily what he could possibly be hinting at.
"It meant nothing brother, regardless, I shall have Hermes bring the boy after the demigods have recovered him and we shall keep him at Apollo's temple" Zeus stated.
"Why can't we just grab him now, I don't understand if we know where he is?" Hermes asked. "We have been forbidden by the Fates to enter the Labyrinth at this time" I sighed.
"Believe me, we would have already found him if we were." Apollo finished. "Yes, yes now Hermes I want you to wait for the demigods, for when they exit the Labyrinth. The demigods shall be fine but I want you bring Perseus straight to Apollo's temple. Understood?" Zeus boomed.
"Yes sir," Hermes saluted. "Brother it should be I who gets my son" I pleaded "No Poseidon, you will not. I want you to stay here. I can't have you losing your temper and destroying anything more" Zeus huffed.
"Yeah I'm going to go now," Hermes said awkwardly. "Be safe and please bring back my son….. ALIVE!" I yelled at Hermes as he disappeared. "Do not worry Uncle, he will be fine" Apollo said, as Zeus brought up an Iris message of a cave at the base of a mountain.
"This should be where they exit," Zeus explained. Hermes appeared near the cave and leaned against the rock.
They waited and watch for what seemed like ages, that's when they heard yelling come from inside the opening. "There it is there's light coming from up ahead!" the voice yelled.
A boy looking about the age of 16 came out from the darkness. "Guys its safe, hurry!" the boy yelled. He yelped as he turned and saw Hermes. The boy didn't have much time to react before three others appeared at the mouth of the cave.
One was a little ahead of the other, the one that was the farthest was carrying something. Not something rather than someone. The last boy out was carrying an unconscious Percy, a very pale and very broken looking Percy.

Hey guys, let me start and say I am a very shitty writer :/ I'm truly sorry about that. But I am also sorry about the update speed. I really have no excuse, but I want to make sure that the chapters I update are up to my level and skill and I've been stupidly busy (I probably should have taken that spare).
I hope you understand the story so far. If you have any questions or comments message me. Plus I won't label Percy's PoV, so if it is not labeled then assume that it is his.
The pairing for this story is still on. So send me the x/Percy pairing you'd like this story to be.
Please read and review
And thank you for putting up with me :D
