Sup people. I'm here with a new chapter. Enjoy.

Nico's POV

I was sitting in my chair feeling miserable, when I felt someone's presence.

I looked up and to my left. I looked him straight in the eye.

"Will?" My voice echoed off the walls.

Then Theseus walked in.

Will blended into the shadows.

"So. Is my puppet broken yet?" Puppet. I'm no one's puppet. He insists on calling me this. I can't really stop him.

"Never." I replied.

Truth: I was close. Seeing Will, though, gave me a purpose to live. I was not alone.

"This ought to convince you." He motioned to someone behind me. "Do it." He said.

Two poles were put on my arms. Electricity shot through them. I screamed.

Lighting and electricity were my opposites, they could easily kill me.

They stopped. I could hear my screams echo through the room. Tears were streaming down my face.

Theseus walked up to me. He lifted my chin so we were face to face.

"You will break, little puppet."

Then he moved his hand and my chin fell to rest back on my chest.

The guards left.

I started silently crying. A few sobs escaped my mouth.

I felt warm arms around me.

"It's okay, Nico." Will soothed, I forgot he was even here. Now I was glad to have anybody with me.

I eventually stopped crying and looked at him.

He wiped the tears from my face. I stared into his eyes. I had to admit, I did have a secret little crush on him.

"We're coming to get you." He said. He then put his hands where I got shocked. They started to glow. After a couple minutes, my pain subsided and Will took his hands off me.

"Will. What are you doing here?" I whispered.

"Saving you. What do you think we're doing? We had a setback though."

"Why? What happened?"

"Someone took us captive. We don't know who yet." What? Captives? "It's okay. We'll get out and find you." They would come save me soon. I would be leaving this place soon enough.

"Thank you, Will."

Then he was gone. Probably woke up.

Theseus came back in.

"Had enough yet?" I put my best poker face on.

"Yes." I replied. I'd have to help them get me out of here.

"Okay. I trust you, but not enough. You will have a rope on your wrist at all times. I have the only scissors to cut it. If you're bad, well, you know what will happen. Do you accept, or do we have to wait another day?" I hate him.

"I accept." The two goons from before, came and untied me, but kept a rope on my wrist. Theseus attached the other end to his wrist.

"You will stay connected to me until I fully trust you. If you wander more than 100 ft. away from me, you will feel immense pain. Shall we test it?"

"No." I responded dryly.

I walked out of the room with him. He walked into his room and got in bed. I laid on the floor.

I saw Lily, Leo and Will enter a room. The guards behind them had knives to their backs. I wanted to beat the crap out of them.

If one of the demigods stepped out of line, or slowed the pace for a second, the knives would be dug into their backs until they caught up.

This happened several times to Lily and Will. Why did it have to happen to the people I actually care about?

Wait. Did I like Will? I mean I had a crush on him, but I just said I cared about him.

They walked into a room filled with people.

When they walked in, all eyes turned to them.

They were then forced to go up to a throne. The guards forced them to their knees.

"No need." The woman said. "We should be good for now. You are excused. Clear the room, please."

"Hey! Everyone, the queen said get out." No one moved. "So, get a move on."

Everybody left the hall in a bit of a hurry.

When everyone was gone the queen turned to my see the demigods.

She looked them all in the eyes. Then her eyes stopped on me.

"I see" she said. "Old Theseus never gets tired does he?"

Then they all turned to look at me. I probably looked like a ghost.

Lily got a murderous look.

"Theseus has you?" She asked with clear venom in her voice.

"Yes." I said. "I'm fine though, worry about yourselves."

"Oh do come join us." The queen said. "Oh, it seems you must be getting back."

Then I doubled over in pain. Theseus was obviously more than 100 ft. away.

Will ran over to me.

"Are you okay?"

I nodded.

I woke up. The last thing I saw had been Will's worried face. It warmed my heart a bit.

Then I remembered the pain of the rope. I got up and ran to find Theseus.

It's over. Hope you enjoyed the chapter.

Peace out.
