Tartarus- Jercy Style
Hey, guys! I'm wondering if I should stop writing this story...
Literally haven't gotten any reviews since Chapter 1.
Is it that boring to you? I actually had fun writing this...
Sorry, but this is a filler chapter... Some parts have actual non-flashback parts.
I'm very busy and I literally have to do this late at night.
I also have a couple tests coming up and I am STRESSING OUT!
Summary: What if Jason saved Annabeth when she was beginning to fall in Tartarus? What if Percy and Jason closed the Door's of Death together? Follow Jason and Percy as they conquer Tartarus together. Slight Pairing (JasonXPercy). Spoilers for MoA and HoH. Rated T.
Warning: Violence.
Disclaimer: I don't own PJO or HoO
In the last chapter
A gurgling, growling, choking noise came from her throat, that sounded suspiciously like a cat having a seizure.
"A slow, long, and painful death. A death from a thousand poisons!" she screamed.
All around her, poisonous plants erupted and bursts out of the ground like lava in a volcano. Green-and-white sap trickled out, collecting into pools and puddles, and began flowing across the ground to me.
I began to think. What if I could control the poison? Poseidon is the God of seas, not liquids. Tartarus could be different, considering how fire is drinkable,and the land is a god's body, the air was acid, and demigods could be turned into smoky corpses.
So why not try? I had nothing left to lose.
I glared at the poison flood encroaching from all sides. I concentrated so hard that something inside of me cracked- as if a crystal ball had shattered in my stomach.
Warmth flowed through me, and the poison tide stopped. The fumes blew away from me- back toward the goddess. The poison lake rolled around her in tiny waves and rivulets.
Akhlys shrieked. "What is this?"
"Poison," I said. "That's your speciality, right?"
I stood there, my anger growing hotter and hotter in my gut. As a flood of venom rolled toward the goddess, the fumes began to make her cough. Her eyes watered more.
Oh, good, I thought. More water.
I imagined her nose and throat filling with her own tears.
Akhlys gagged. "I-" The tide of venom reached my feet, sizzling like droplets of hot iron. She wailed and stumbled back.
"Percy!" Jason called.
Jason had retreated to the edge of the cliff. A terrified expression on his face, even though the poison wasn't after him. I realized that Jason was scared of me.
I inwardly chuckled. Jason. Scared of me?
I didn't want to stop. I wanted to choke the goddess (A/N~That's kinky wtf). I wanted her to drown her in her own poison. I wanted to see how much misery Misery could take.
"Percy, please..." Jason begged.
Seeing my friend like this made my anger wash away like the sand on a beach.
I turned to the goddess. I willed the poison to recede, creating a small path of retreat along the edge of the cliff.
"Leave!" I bellowed.
For an emaciated ghoul, Akhlys could run pretty fast when she wanted to. She scrambled along the path, fell on her face, got up again, wailing as she sped into the darkness. The pools of poison began to evaporate, along with the plants that withered to dust and blew away.
"We have to get away from here. Akhlys brought us here as sacrifices to night. What was that about?" Jason wondered.
We backed away as a presence emerged from the void- a shadowy and vast form.
"I imagine," said the darkness, I'm a feminine voice as soft as coffin lining, "that she meant Night, with a capital N. After all, I am the only one."
Jason
Questions. I have quite a few too:
Why didn't I save him? Why save her? Why am I so stupid? Why did I fall with him? Why? Why? Why?
In this world of ours, questions are formed. Answers are seeked. Right now, right here, I am seeking answers. In my journey across Tartarus, I seek answers, life-changing answers.
You don't know a lot about me. I hide a lot of things. I'll give you an example: I am bisexual. Yep, I like both genders, equally. I actually like a certain guy, but I'm dating Piper, so I try to hide it.
Lets start with the answers:
Flashback Begins
"Jason! Get Annabeth! Forget about me!" Percy ordered after cutting the spider silk from Annabeth's ankle.
"No! Seaweed Brain! I am not leaving you to fall!" Annabeth disagreed.
"I'm sorry Annabeth! It's dangerous!" I warned.
"I have to go, somebody has to the Doors of Death from the Tartarus entrance!" Percy reminded.
"Seaweed Brain! At least, take somebody!" Annabeth shouted.
"Annabeth! I'm going to take you back to the ship where you can heal some more," Frank called.
Annabeth nodded hesitantly.
Riptide dropped somewhere below Percy. I plunged down to retrieve it.
"Be careful, Percy!" Annabeth shouted, tear-faced.
"I will!" Percy exclaimed. "Nico! Promise me, something! Meet me on the other side! I'll see you there! Understand?"
Nico's eyes widened. "But-"
"Lead them there!" Percy shouted. "Promise me!"
"I-I will."
As I snatched his sword and began to fly back to Percy, debris fell on top of us.
"JASON!" Piper screamed.
"I'm sorry, Piper!" I apologized.
And we fell for days. I couldn't use my wind powers because I was underground. Hades's realm, not Zeus's, not neutral ground, just Hades's realm. His, and his only.
"It's okay, Percy." I assured.
"At least, I'm not alone." Percy said.
"Yeah... don't worry, we'll survive. I'm smarter than I look," I said.
"Sure..." Percy joked.
"You should sleep, you need your rest. We'll take turns sleeping, I'll wake you up if we reach the bottom, if you wake up before we reach there, then I'll sleep."
Percy nodded and began to slip into Morpheus's realm.
I hummed silently for a couple minutes.
I was so bored, I had to keep watch for a couple hours..."
Percy
As I slipped into Morpheus's realm, I already had dreams. Let me rephrase that, nightmares.
I was in Tartarus, alone, with no one to accompany me. Monsters chased me everywhere and giant blisters popped as I stepped on them.
Curses, misery, darkness, and peace. I met them. The Arai, Akhlys, Nyx, and Damasen. Many more things were there.
I didn't get burned by the fire, suprisingly. So, I swallowed some, and it turns out that it was edible.
I continued in Tartarus with one goal in mind: Survive...
My dream morphed into Gaea and Annabeth.
Blood was spilling from Annabeth and Gaea was laughing evilly as she was killed.
After, I awoke screaming, scaring Jason.
"It's okay, bro, it's okay! Calm down! You're alive, Annabeth is alive on the surface, everyone is alive, you're not alone, we are together, please calm down." Jason said.
I panted loudly and looked at him, I nodded slowly and he smiled, showing his perfectly-straight, blinding white, zero cavity teeth.
Then he began to close his eyes, sleeping quitely, with occasional snores, and gasps for breath. The occasional scream was mixed in there.
I thought of my mom, Poseidon, Annabeth, Tyson, my friends back at Camp Half-Blood, Paul, and everyone.
I wished that I wasn't a half-blood, a half god, a demigod, just an average mortal, hidden from the world of Greek Mythology by the mist, immune from Celestisl Bronze, non-clear sighted, just an average mortal in NYC.
Then, Jason woke up, as we were about to fall into the Cocytus
Flashback End
Now, Lady Night was in front of us, blabbering about how we're going to be her sacrifices. Not going to lie, but I tuned her out when she started talking.
That's when things took a 180
I'm sort of sorry that it's very short...
I don't have much time, I have a test tomorrow, I have to wake up early...
School is harsh, you know.
I'd rather wake up at 8:00/11:00 every day like on vacation.
I wish February break would just come already,
sorry to the people without February breaks...
Please tell me what I should change in this story...
I might actually discontinue this, or just go on a hiatus...
I have exactly 1,000 views...
