Demigod therapy chapter 2
Nightmare's, PUU and getting Parental permission
Percy was relaxing on his water bed when he heard Piper scream, "Percy! Help!"
He shouted, "Piper! I'm coming! Hold on!", he got off the bed, running out the door forgetting that he had little mermaid boxers on. He ran through the creepily long empty hallway. No Hedge shouting to fall asleep which was weird. He got to Piper door and charged through to her bedroom. Piper was alright just standing next to her bed wearing her power rangers pyjamas. He asked, "Piper what's wrong? I heard you screaming for me to help."
Piper said with full of charm speak, "Nothing is wrong but I do need your help, can you please get my knife and stab me through my throat."
Percy nodded eyes glazed, He got her knife from her belt that was laying on the floor. He gripped it so tightly that his knuckles turned as white as a polar bear. Percy put the knife under her throat ready to push the deadly weapon through. Percy had trouble through as he was struggling to push the knife in. Piper put her left hand on his shoulders then said with charm speak,"I need you to stab me Percy, I'll be fine. Don't grieve for me I will be with my grandpa Tom on the other side of the sunset on the land of the death dancing."
Percy nodded and stabbed her. The knife was stuck deep in Piper wind pipe. Blood started pouring out from the wound, Piper eyes widen, her fingernails stabbed right into Percy skin drawing blood from how tightly her hand was grabbing Percy. The pain from the nails snapped Percy out of the trance. His eyes bulged out but he could not do anything as it seemed like a force had super glue his feet to the ground.
Percy watched as Piper free hand was trying to get the knife out of her throat. Piper gave up and tried to speak but nothing came out. Finally after a minute of her struggling she let go off Percy and fell to her knees then on the floor dead. Percy was staring at her then fell on his knees picking up the blood covered body of Piper he sobbed, "Piper! Why did you do this? Why!?", Percy stood up his only thought was that he needed Jason since he is, no was Piper boyfriend.
Percy looked in Jason room but he was not there so he went outside where Jason was leaning over the side. Percy shouted, "Jason! Its Piper! She's dead!"
Jason looked at Percy with a giant fake smile he said, "I am glad your here Percy to see my greatest stunt yet. I was afraid you wouldn't come."
"What Stunt!? Didn't you hear me!? Piper's dead! "
Jason stood on the rail of the flying boat, Percy got closer to him because Jason was acting weird. He looked over the side and saw for some reason the grand canyon. This was bazaar since they were meant to be in the middle of the ocean, Jason said "I heard you Piper is dead. She told me what she was going to do. Now excuse me I have my greatest stunt to perform."
Jason jumped. Percy couldn't believe he jumped of the rail into the Grand Canyon. He used the winds to speed the velocity of the fall in 3 minutes he impacted into the hard ground. Percy could hear the collision from all the way up in the sky as the wind carried the sound. The noise was horrible. Bones cracking, blood going everywhere and the worst of all the scream that lasted only a second but will always be in Percy's ears.
Percy didn't know what to do, Piper used charmed speak into making him stab her and Jason had jumped of the ship. This is really Ironic. Percy thought. He wanted to get Annabeth but he is scared in case she committed suicide as well. So Percy decided to find Leo. He needed him anyway to make something that will contain the broken bits of Jason. Also to preserve him and Piper until they could get back to each camp and do the memorial service for them.
Percy ran to the room where Leo had created for experiments. He opened the door and immediately was in water. He didn't know why the room where a fire user used was filled in water. Percy panicked, he hoped Leo was not here but his gut told him he was. Percy was right as Leo stepped out of a giant machine that looked like one of those futuristic teleporter. Leo noticed Percy and grinned his crazy smile and said, "Yo Percy!"
Percy wanted to ask how he was breathing but he figured that can wait so he said. "Leo; Jason and Piper are dead."
Leo didn't reply with how Percy expected he just said, "When I was at camp fish blood the fish centaurs done something where a very thin veil of oxygen kept me, Frank and Hazel alive. So I wanted to see if I could recreate it and I have. Ain't this machine cool?" ,He patted the teleporter.
Percy thought Leo was just like Jason before he jumped he decided to humor him before he did something drastic and get him to come with and hopefully stop this nightmare. He said, "Leo that is very nice but Piper is in trouble and you have succeeded your experiment, can we go?"
Leo laughed and said, "But I'm not done yet Percy! I got to do the most important part of the experiment!"
Leo torched himself right after he said the last sentence. Yellow fire quickly spread from his arms to covering his whole body. Percy watched in horror as he was once glued to the ground again, he quickly tried to control the water to put the flames out. The water did not move an inch. Percy frustrated started shouting swearwords and pleading Leo to stop as the fire user was not affected by the flames but the heat was so intense that he couldn't breathe. After 5 minutes Leo was floating in water, Leo was not breathing.
Percy couldn't believe this was happening, did Gaia win and was making Percy live this nightmare? Or maybe he did not escape Tartarus and this was his punishment? he knew he couldn't watch the lifeless body of Leo just float so he ran. Percy ran and ran until he reached Frank room. Frank and Hazel was both in the room. Percy saw them and fell on to his knees he pleaded to the pair, "Please do not kill yourselves like Piper, Jason and Leo! Please I beg you! I can't take it no more! Please!"
The pair of Romans looked shocked at the son of Poseidon looking like he was about to have a mental breakdown. Frank said to Hazel, "I think we should do it quick.", Hazel nodded and brought 500 tonnes of metals, all different. Percy saw gold, platinum, silver, tungsten and schist plus so many more he couldn't name them all. Percy watched in horror as the metals all fell on the daughter of Pluto crushing her. Hazel blood was quickly spreading from under the metals to the near Percy feet. Frank looked at Percy and said, "I am sorry Percy but we can't live any more you tried you best but it was not enough." He then turned into a dragon and grabbed his stick between his mouth and blew fire. As the wood started to burn so did Frank. After a minute there was no evidence of either except a scorch mark on the ground.
Percy himself wanted to commit suicide, this went against everything he tried to do but he failed. Percy needed to check on Nico and Annabeth he didn't want to but as he was sure they would commit suicide anyway without him there he could at least try to stop them. He went to the spare room, Leo made after the Greece for Nico. Nico was sitting on his bed he saw Percy enter his room.
He said to Percy. "This is your fault you know? You failed in trying to save us all, like you failed to keep Bianca alive. You are a screw up Percy. Gabe was right Percy, you are a freak and will never amount to anything important. You had so much help during every fight, every quest. I hate you Percy and I can't believe I felt different once before. I used to lo- like you as a friend but now I hope you die in the worst way possible." Nico then touched his sword and his soul left his body.
Percy felt like a ruck had slammed into his chest repeatedly, he knew what Nico said was correct; he always failed. Percy dreaded what he had to do next but he knew he had to face Annabeth. Surely she wouldn't do anything right? Always together now matter what. Was Annabeth going to break that promise? Percy hoped she wouldn't so he walked slowly to her room.
When Percy opened Annabeth door she was already dead laying on her bed looking like sleeping beauty but with blond hair. On her bedside table was a note, Percy picked it up so gently with his shaking fingers you would think it was a bomb.
The note read,
"To my Seaweed brain,
I am sorry I broke my promise to you about being together no matter what. I just can't keep living
with the memories of Tartarus. I know you and Nico went there as well, you must think I am weak, right? A child of Athena, who you said was the strongest people cause of their minds. Percy you were wrong. I can imagine all the illogical things that happened and I know you have as I so many visions. The whole thing got to much for me. I really am sorry Percy but don't worry I was in no pain I made a poison that would put me in a deep sleep and would kill me. I made sure I only made enough to kill me as I know you seaweed brain. You would follow me to the underworld, strait away. Please live your life Percy as you deserve to have one.
Love forever, Wise girl."
Percy couldn't take any-more and everything went black.
Percy opened his eyes and noticed he was in his bed. He quickly got out of the bed, dressing in armour and pyjamas (they had the lion king characters on them) He ran out of his door and ran into Annabeth cabin she was...She was...She was fine asleep snoring a very peaceful sound. Percy wanted to cry in relief but he had to check on the others. The opposite order from the deaths in his dreams.
They were all fine but he remembered all the deaths, blood, screams and how pale the ones that had bodies were. Percy couldn't take any more so he ran to the side of the boat and flipped over the rails. Percy let the water help him, he calmed down and meditated. Meditation helped demigods since they can make sense of everything that happened most of the time.
When Percy opened his eyes in front of him a piece paper rolled up was floating in front of him, curious Percy grabbed the paper and shot himself back onto the ship. Percy got a chair and sat next to Festus. He opened up the rolled up parchment and was in shock. The parchment was a certificate from the 'Poseidon undersea university' Percy snickered as the university shorten words were PUU which sounded very much like poo.
On the certificate it said,"This diploma is to Percy Jackson, age 17. He is now legally allowed to be a therapist to demigods."
Percy looked past the rail and said, "Thanks dad."
Another letter came, it said, "Your welcome son but when you graduate from high school you will have to come to the university and learn how to be a proper therapist."
Percy groaned, then heard, "Cupcake!" He groaned harder. Coach shouted, "What the Styx are you doing out of your cabin at 3am!"
Percy thought it's only 3am? He looked at the clock on Festus head and it was. He looked at Coach who was coming to him very quickly, Percy said to Coach, "Coach I had a horrible nightmare, where the other demigods killed themselves."
Hedge looked at the son of Poseidon, he did not look good, Percy tanned skin was really pale, his eyes which were normally so bright had dulled like when an oil spillage happened, Percy looked like he was going to throw up.
Hedge asked "Cupcakes do you want me to put the other cupcakes on suicide watch?"
Percy imagined the goat way of suicide watch and paled even more, he said "No coach! I have a plan." Percy paused for a minute he asked the coach, "Coach as you are the chaperone can you make them go to therapy?"
Hedge grunted unhappily and said, "No I wish I could cupcake since I would have have made you and Valdez go to one a long time ago."
Percy felt some of his humor returning he put his right hand on his chest and said, "Ouch that hurt coach."
Hedge shrugged, "So what? You two drive me crazy, I hope I never have you two in my next school. I think it is called Goode."
Percy panicked and trying to get the Coach away from that subject, said, "Really? So can Chiron get them to go?"
Hedge shaked his head and said "No only a parent or guardian can. Why do you want to know this? In case you break the rule of APALHI."
Percy Wondered what APALHI was but decided to work on that later, he thought on the beginning part of what Coach said. Most of the seven demigod mortal parents are dead so the only way would be to call their godly parents, he had a lot of gods to call.
This was absolute torture to complete and I had to finish where it ends as I couldn't find it in me to complete the rest of what I wanted to do for this chapter. I want to thank Artemis Goh as she is the best person I know! I think she is Reyna since she is so badass. I want to thank her for making sure I finish this chapter. Without her I would have went onto writing so many different stories with 1 chapters each. So thank you Artemis Goh for sounding like a teacher and making sure I completed it. I now hate the number 2 after writing this..
On Percy the Therapist next! Percy talks to the gods, tells the demigod what he plans to do and starts the sessions!
I would like to thank the 2 reviewers and the people who favourite and followed my stories. Can we please get to 7 review for this chapter as I get more done when I see a review?
