Just saying, Nico broke first. Well…in a sense. Let's just say Nico has some pretty colorful language and I wonder how many times he's had his mouth washed out with soap. I think it's a lot.

"What the H*LL is this! You fu-!" Yeah, Nico had a potty mouth.

So while Nico was cussing his guts out while laughing uncontrollably Kronos just stood there with his arms crossed and a smirk on his stupid face. I crawled over to the cell door. And looked up at look Kronos. Well, as much as I could.

"W-what did you do to uh-us?" Luke smirked and pulled out a small thin, black remote that had tons onf buttons, knobs, and dials on it.

"How do you say it? That's for me to know and for you to find out?" He said. Kronos made a 'eh, whatever,' face and pointed the remote at me. He pressed a button. The laughing immediately slowed a bit I rubbed my throat, wondering If I would ever laugh the same again. But then he turned a knob and then pressed another button.

I started gasping for air and dropped to my knees. My throat was constricted and hardly any air could get through. My lungs felt tight and compressed against my chest which made it even harder to get the sweet, sweet air in front and all around me. I think I finally knew what it was like to have asthma.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw Nico trying to crawl over to me but he was still laughing insanely which made him crawl at the pace of a fat slug. He also was still using that colorful language of his.

I collapsed on to the hard concrete floor trying to get air but scratching at my throat. What help that would do? Maybe I was trying to claw a hole in my throat because I wanted to breathe so badly. I felt panic risng in my throat and my lungs burned.

I was starting to become dizzy from the lack of oxygen when I heard the distinct click-click-clicking of stiletto death trap heels on hard stone floor. Kelli pranced into my line of vision and smiled sickly sweetly at me. I couldn't tell if she was behind the metal bars of our cell or not because my vision was double or maybe even triple and was bouncing around. The she-devil turned and her flipped when she did and it seemed like a kaleidoscope with her sparkly red dress and black hair.

"Let me make this more interesting." Kelli said, her voice echoing in my head and against my skull. Whne I would wake up I was going to have a major headache for sure. If I woke up.

Kronos nodded and handed the small remote. She pointed the remote at something right beside me and I realized Nico was right beside me.

Kelli spun a dial and Nico immediately the laughing stopped. Nico was panting heavily but he scrambled right next to me.

"Percy! You need to- AGGGGHHH!" Nico dropped like a fly to the floor and was screaming .

"Ni-Nico!" I tried to yell but it came out strangled and gargled. I could hear Nico screaming and withering on the cold, hard floor. I tried to throw daggers with my death glare at Kelli and Kronos who had stupid smirks on their stupid faces.

"Stop this y-you bi-!" I tried to yell at Kelli but my body gave a great big shudder. Kelli just laughed a prefect evil laugh and turned the dial more, which made Nico scream harder and louder. My thorat closed more, so much in fact that I think it was completely sealed. No air in. No air out. I couldn't make any sound at all, not even a squeak. I was so dizzy and had triple spinning vision which made me feel extremely nauseous. I had a headache from Hell and black dots raced across my vision.

As it seemed like the dots were River Dancing I felt consciousness slowly slide from my grasp and all sounds-even Nico's blood curdling scream- started to fade away.

I'm so sorry Nico, I thought.

And then I blacked out.

Yeah okay, kind of short, but I'm low on time. Right now I was supposed to be snoring away like half an hour ago.
