I AM SO SORRY!

There is no excuse for not updating for as long as I did. But I'll try anyway.

I was caught up in school. I had writers block. I was worried about things. This chapter was really hard to write.

Still, I am so so sorry!

Here's the chapter:

Piper's POV:

The screams were worse than I could ever imagine.

I mean, the blood curdling cries we had heard before we're nothing compared to this. I could hardly bare listening to it.

The amount of strength it must've taken to survive something like that must be ridiculous.

Percy is definitely the strongest demigod I know.

And his screams were the worst screams I've ever heard. No amount of charmspeak can change that.

Hazel's POV:

As a daughter of Pluto, I know pure agony when I hear it.

This screaming left it all in the dust.

Hearing the overwhelming cries of Percy made me feel so much more than horror and sorrow.

I was almost in pain myself, in a matter of speaking. Maybe it's a child of the Underworld thing. But his cries made my very soul ache.

His screams caused me to drop to my knees in suffering.

No one deserves this fate.

No one.

Leo's POV:

Nothing would be able to fix the emotional scars Percy's screams left on me.

This guy, my partner in comical crime, the one who always laughed beside me, sat at my side crying out in pain.

I know that no matter how much time passes, no matter how much healing the six of us endure, nothing can ever make it so that this moment resembles any part of a joke to Percy (or me, for that matter).

No amount of humor can truly fix this pain.

Frank's POV:

Percy's screams caused me to unwillingly and unknowingly change into over a hundred animals in about five seconds. That's how much they shocked me.

This guy had helped me so much in life. On my very first quest, Percy had been there to help and support me. He had helped me get together with Hazel.

It physically hurt me to see someone that had given me so much in so much pain.

I dropped down on the ground next to Hazel, and we hugged through the screaming.

There was no way to transform the screams into anything but agony.

Jason's POV:

For the longest time, Percy and I were always competing against each other. We wanted to be the strongest.

It took us forever to realize that it didn't really matter who was stronger. For the longest time, I thought I was the stronger hero.

But when Percy fell into Tartarus just to be with Annabeth. . . I knew he would always be stronger than me. Not that I ever said anything out loud.

Hearing his screams made me realize just how much stronger he was.

Annabeth's POV:

I cannot explain how much Percy's screams physically and mentally hurt me.

I love him with everything that I am, and hearing his cries just put me in so much agony. It was horrible. Terrible. Unbearable.

It must have been nothing compared to what he was going through.

Percy's POV:

Ow.

Yes, it was short. But I just had a hard time writing this one for some reason.

I'll update when I get 215 reviews.

Ta ta!
