So uh… I'm back, I felt guilty about not posting yesterday so there's a bonus chapter from Kronos's POV! Yeah! Kind of, warning, this may be disturbing cuz he's the titan lord and whatnot, so yeah, I'll update tomorrow and that will have a Jason Pov bonus chapter. Do you forgive me? Also in this Kronos can take on the form of a teenage boy with brown hair and gold eyes. Dedicated to Nitlia-titan of darkness cuz you thought my story was Amazing: D disclaimer:
Me: I own nothing Rick does and I can't do anything about it.
Percy: you sound depressed.
Me: I am.
Annabeth: why?
Me: cuz Percy gets hurt in this chapter.
Annabeth: WHAT?!
Me and Percy: Never mind!
Percy: have a great story!
Me: umm… byez!
Kronos's POV
As an all powerful Titan lord, I normally don't use words like fun. But… it was fun to torture Percy Jackson. I laughed in his head and listened to him scream. As a result, every time a door opened or someone came near him he flinched, green eyes filling with fear. He was strong, but now he is weak. He hung limply from the chains, head turned to the ground. And I loved it.
"How are you going to… possess him, master? You know he won't do it willingly, like Luke did." Ethan's question knocked me from my thoughts. "Torture him until he can't stand, make him hold the sky, and then when he is at his very weakest, when he is about to die, I'll take him." I said it as though it were obvious.
Percy lifted his head. His voice cracked pitifully from days without water, but ignoring that he said "you can't make me hold the sky. Only titans can have it forced upon them." He said, looking up at me for the first time in days. Ahh, so Annabeth had taught him something. I didn't answer his unspoken question but his eyes locked on mine.
Green met gold and he didn't look away, the way Luke had. "Ethan." I said without looking away. "Tell Luke to come. The information we need is vital." Percy flinched and I grinned triumphantly. I gave Ethan a nod and left the room. Percy didn't have a clue how I was going to get him to hold the sky. But he would in an instant. Because Perseus Jackson had a fatal flaw…
Percy's Pov
I watched Kronos leave, then letting my head fall back to face the ground. It hurt to keep it up. Hurt to speak. To move. I closed my eyes, knowing Luke was coming. I tried to enjoy my moment of peace. It didn't last as long as I'd hoped. He walked over to me, lifting my head. I didn't look at his eyes today. I knew he wasn't Kronos. He stood behind me with a wicked looking dagger. "What are Camp Half-Blood's battle plans?" he asked me. I wouldn't tell them that. They must know that. Ethan grabs both of my arms and my broken one hurts really bad. Then I fell Luke dig into my back with the dagger. He's carving things, words I don't want to hear. "Defend. Listen to our cabin leaders. Use weaknesses and flaws to our advantage. Kill anything that's not human… and…" I gasp. "And…" Luke prompts "and send Kronos back to Tartarous." I add with a sarcastic grin.
The dagger's moving to my stomach, cutting through the white- now red shirt that I'm wearing. I can feel it cutting through things, that I know should hurt, but don't anymore. And that scares me. And I can smell the blood. As Kronos comes back the wave of pain hits me and I go limp. I scream in pure agony and all three of them laugh. But then Luke becomes serious. "It's not working sir. He's either really stubborn-"Yup." I interrupt him Ethan covers my mouth with his hand and I'm too weak to fight him.
"Or" Luke continues "Very clueless, or just unorganized." He finishes, looking at me. I glare at him. If anything, they're unorganized. We beat them when we were outnumbered 20,000,000 to 1. "That's alright. I have other plans for him. I can get him to one of his old friends. She'll be less than pleased to see him." He waves Ethan off and grips my head in his hand. "You're going to see Medusa…"
Annabeth's POV
"No!" I sat bolt upright in bed, heavily panting. Piper and hazel had claimed my hands, while Rachel hugged me from behind. I fell into Rachel, sobbing. She started to stroke my hair and asked "Percy?" I nodded and let Hazel wipe the tears off my cheeks. "Kr-Kronos wants Pe-Percy as as a host" I told them. "Like Luke?" Jason asked, his eyes instantly crystallizing to a steely blue. I nod, unable to speak. Where is he? Jason asks, and I cry harder. "Medusa's lair. Antie Em's garden emporium." Jason looked surprised. "Didn't he kill her when he was, like 12?" "Yeah. He doesn't have his sword and she'll hurt him. She's gonna want revenge." His features hardened, and he gave me a hand. I took it and he helped me get up. "Where are we going?" I asked. "We… are gonna find my cousin."
