WARNING: THE FOLLOWING CHAPTER IS EXTREMELY LAME AND POINTLESS
Chapter Fifteen: There's Nothing Left to Say Now (Percy POV)
I stood there, stunned. I couldn't speak. No. There was no way it could've been Sai.
Yet when I looked at those words, my blood boiled. I knew they were true. It was Sai.
Annabeth walked up next to me, fuming. "It all makes sense! When I was kidnapped, those people who kidnapped me looked so familiar! How could I not have recognized Sai?"
She snatched the pen from my hands and proceeded to write something below what Sai had written.
Why? Why'd you do it?
A reply came immediately.
Why did I do it? Hey, princess. Now did you really think that I could just watch you two be all lovey-dovey and not want to kill you? Now did you think that all my jealousy could be held inside, you dense little brat?
Annabeth quickly scrawled something down.
Really now, Sai? Really? Who's the real dense little princess? Jealousy isn't something you should let take charge of you. Besides, if you were really that jealous, then why didn't you just say so? We could've helped you. We could've cheered you up.
There was no response. Annabeth angrily kicked down the stack of words that was Sai's last message. The words immediately stacked back on top of each other again. "I can't believe that she would put innocent people in danger because of something so stupid!"
I put a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry, Wise Girl."
She whirled around and I could see the panic in her eyes. "Well, gee, that's kind of hard, considering the fact that we're stuck in my diary, which is currently in the hands of Sai Nishiki, and we can't get out of my diary!"
"Wait…" I turned around to face Kana. "You can travel from the soul of the diary to the Outside of the diary, and then back, right?"
She shook her head. "I'm afraid that I cannot do that anymore. The only thing that permitted me to travel between the two realms were the fact that you and Annabeth were in different realms. Your longing for each other was actually what powered my ability to go back and forth through the two worlds. Now that you are in the same world, and there is not enough power, I no longer have my traveling powers."
"That's unfortunate," Annabeth sighed. "That would've helped a lot."
"Yeah," Kana agreed. "That's why you haven't ever seen me before this possessed demigods fiasco. I was trapped in here because you and Percy were both Outside the diary. Understand now?"
"I think so," I said slowly. It was all kind of confusing, but I could sort of decipher it.
"So… what do we do now?" Annabeth asked.
Kana exhaled. "That… is a question that may never be answered."

There's nothing left to say now
There's nothing left to say now
I'm giving up, hey, hey
Giving up now
I'm giving up, hey, hey
Giving up now
Annabeth scrawled down words onto a bit of blank space. It was apparently the lyrics to a song, because I suddenly heard the song playing. We were still stuck in the soul of the diary. We were summoning random stuff now, just to cure our boredom.
Kana then took the pen from Annabeth and added the next bit of the song:
Below my soul I feel an engine
Collapsing as it sees the pain
If I could only shut it out
I've come too far
Too see the end now
Even if my way is wrong
I keep pushing on and on and on and on…
"Oh," Nico said, making us all jump. None of us had noticed him. "I know that song."
We all stared at him for a second, then Kana gave him the pen. He stared at it.
"Um… er, write the next part of the song," Kana explained.
There's nothing left to say now
There's nothing left to say now
I'm giving up, hey, hey
Giving up now
I'm giving up, hey, hey
Giving up now
I watched as everyone continued to contribute to the song, until it finally reached the end. I couldn't help but think how much it represented how I felt at that moment.
Perhaps there really was no way out of the diary.
I'm giving up, hey, hey…
Giving up now.
That chapter was based on a song I saw on Viria's Tumblr. If any of you have not seen Viria's art, check it out now!
Name of song is "Nothing Left to Say" by Imagine Dragons.
That was a pointless chapter, like I said. Nothing really happened.
Something will happen next chapter.
