6. Chapter 6

I'm sorry I didn't update. I forgot I had soccer practice, but I promise 3 chapters this week at the very least. K? So yeah… and Percy will be holding the sky by the end of the 2nd chapter. My cliffhangers will be small (maybe it depends on the amount of reviews. 5+ gets you no cliffhangers so review.) If you're looking for something to read… I recommend the hostage by MummyRules. But only if you've read the Kane chronicles. If you haven't then try Not a Fairy tale by loganlover19. Does any1 else watch Once Upon a Time? If so… Omg! Last night Emma/ Snow got back! YEAH! But Cora and Hook are coming too! And now we have to wait till' January 4 the next episode. LLLLLLLL Onto the story! BTW last chapter was dedicated to PercyandAnnabeth4eva. I accidentally got it wrong. This chapter is dedicated to the author of my new favorite story…itsallaboutPJ cuz the chamber is an awesome story also… to Uber Happy Peep, haven't heard from you. Sorry I didn't update. Hope I didn't make you unhappy! I listened to Sparks Fly and it reminded me so much of HoO. Green eyes=Percy. Great smile=Percy. Hair you can run your fingers through=Percy! Best Swift song! In fact they all kind of relate to Percy Jackson in some way…

Disclaimer:

Me: I own nothing.

Percy: We know

Me: OK

Jason: do you still like Percy better than me?

Me: don't think of it like that! Think of it as like, I've known him longer, and he killed Medusa when he was 12 and I like Percybeth better than Jasper and…

Jason: this is a really long list.

Percy&Annabeth: PERCYBETH OWNS YOUR FACES!

Me: How much coffee did you drink?

Percy: One cup. Or two. Or three. Or…

Annabeth: ok seaweed brain, we get it!

Percy's POV

Pain. Agony. More pain. Endlessly. Every time I moved, spoke or even breathed, my wholes body felt as though it was in the river Styx. And that was when she wasn't here. When she came in, my whole world exploded into pain so intense, I couldn't remember my own name. I felt words, curses carved onto me with a white-hot blade. I didn't have the energy to scream, but I did anyway. Once there was a tank of water and I was all 'pft…Have fun with that. I can't drown you idiots' yeah…that didn't work out so well for me. I couldn't breathe and the salt was infecting my cuts. I crashed to the ground, gasping and hacking water out of my lungs. A giant hand lifted me into the air. Gods, Zeus is gonna kill me. I thought numbly. "Hello little hero! My half-brother has sent me to help Medusa. My name is Polybotes. I am the giant born to oppose Poseidon." I forced my eyes open to stare at the giant. "Dad…" I murmured, trailing off. "Yes little hero. I can defeat your father. Are you really Percy Jackson?" "You can't defeat Dad." I said, meeting his eyes. He stared back in anger, squeezing me until I looked away, going limp. At least two broken ribs and my other arm. I thought, agony clear in my brain. The hand lifted me higher. I realized what he was going to do right before he dropped me. "No…" I started, before my head hit the ground. I'm sorry Wise Girl… I thought before blacking out.

Poseidon's POV

"We have to help him, he's my son!" I shouted at the council. The daughter of Athena-Annabeth looked up and nodded before Thalia claimed her in a hug. Thalia murmured words of comfort before glaring at her father who was shaking his head.

"We have to let demigods fight their own battles" Zeus argued.

The satyr-Grover gave a small yelp, eyes closing in obvious pain. He and Nico exchanged glances, and then ambled over to Annabeth and Thaila, where they started to exchange whispers

"Grover? Do you have something to say?" asked Dionysus. Grover turned pale, trembling. "Grover? Is it about Percy?" I asked in a much kinder voice while glaring at the god of wine.

"Y-yes my lords." He stuttered. "You see, Percy and I have an empathy link. His voice got quieter, as if he was afraid of what he was saying "I can hear him screaming." All of the demigod's eyes turned to Annabeth, waiting for her reaction. She trembled in the safe cocoon of Thalia's arms.

She really did care about my son. Even though her mother was Athena. Me and Athena locked eyes. We had come to a silent agreement. We were going to save my son.

"Does anyone know what's really happening to him?" Athena asked. No one nodded or answered her. In response she focused on the TV screen. Suddenly, there was an image of Percy. No. It can't be this bad! I thought as the whole room became silent.

Annabeth's POV

I watched Percy's body hit the ground. He struggled to stay conscious before realizing it was a losing battle. His green eyes closed and he went still. Medusa and another huge figure loomed over him. "He's almost dead" the newcomer said. "We better take him to Atlas." "NO! I want him to suffer the way I did in Tartarus!" Medusa argued. "True. He's my best chance of taking down my old enemy…" The new figure trailed off. "No!" Poseidon gasped. I looked closer at the figure's hair and realize that it's moving. "Polybotes!" I breathe out. "Giant born to oppose Poseidon." Thalia finishes. Three demons took Percy by his broken arms and dragged him to a corner of the room where chains hung from the ceiling. Percy's face twisted into a grimace as he was hung high enough that his feet didn't touch the ground. Zeus and Poseidon grimaced, as Percy was technically in Zeus's territory but my eyes flickered back to Percy. He was incredibly pale. There was no color in his body and some of his wounds were still leaking blood. Because of multiple bruises, his skin was more purple than white. "Kelp Head…" Thalia started, but choked on her words. "Percy…" that was me. Great I can speak again. "Brother…" Tyson trailed off. "Perseus…" that was the majority of the gods. "Punk…" Ares said, but for the first time in four years, it wasn't loaded with hate. "Seaweed Brain." We all managed simultaneously. With those words, Percy's head lifted. His eyes were open, and staring directly at me. "Wise girl…" he whispered, even though it obviously put him in a lot of pain to talk. "I-I love you Wise girl. M' sorry." He manages to choke out before his head falls back to face the ground. Then the screen goes black. For the first time in days, my eyes are dry. My sadness has been replaced with a goal. I will save Perseus Jackson.
