Alright new chapter! I didn't really know what to do because I already did humor, and angsty thing, then my brain somehow came up with this piece of work. It's not my favorite but o well. A please read and review my friend Dengpie's story. It's in my favorites, just look there.

I do not own.

Nico squirmed and twisted. Desperate to get out of the hard casing that held him. This was his worse jam yet. Every time he moved pain shot up his body. Yeah, time to stop moving. But he couldn't help it he had to go the bathroom! Yes, you heard right. He's trapped in a large casing that covered him up to his neck and looked like a stalagmite, starving, dehydrated, and the prisoner of Gaia, and he had to go the bathroom. Such was the life of a demigod.

He knew that he shouldn't have had the large McDonalds soda before he went looking for the doors of death, but he had to give himself energy! The soda was forced on him! Well either way it didn't make a difference he still had to go. Next time he saw Gaia he was going to give her a piece of his mind and then beg Percy not to kill him (after he rescued him of course) for not telling him that he knew him. And he knew that Percy would find him. He always did. He just didn't know the shape he would be in when Percy got here. Nico knew that they were planning torture sessions, he would probably die. That is if his bladder didn't explode and kill him first.

Nico wasn't particularly scared of death, I mean he lived in hell. Actually death was better than life, for the nice people. He would see his mother again, unfortunately not his sister, as she was now reborn but his mother was definitely a good thing. But at the same time he wavered. He knew that Percy would never forgive himself if he let Nico die and Hazel, he was her only relative, her only family, he couldn't let her down.

So that answered that question. Nico would try his best not to die. From the torture. But he had no control over exploding bladders. It was a little known threat. He could see it on his gravestone and everything Nico di'Angelo: died of lack of bathroom. People would laugh over his grave for years, they would be chuckling at his funeral! Anyway, it was really hot in the cavern. He felt sweat trickle down the base of his neck. He couldn't feel past his shoulders. Somehow he could feel his bladder though. He almost preferred he didn't.

Suddenly he heard footsteps, they echoed off the walls and reverberated through the cavern. A thin man walked in. he was wearing a scraggly robe and had a beard that was filled with bits of food. He smelled like he hadn't bathed for a month. His eyes were milky and scarred, in fact he had long lancing claw scars. He knew this man. Dad had been ranting about him for weeks. Phineas. In his filthy hand he held a pronged lance. The smell of static and ozone filled the cavern. Nico was filled with fear. Electricity. Oh Gods. He strained himself as far away as possible in his earthly prison. He knew that his face was probably almost comical in its terror. This wasn't going to be too fun.

The man stalked forward on stiff legs and his face held a feral grin. Nico wanted to disappear and never see that face again. It shook him to his core. When Phineas had gotten so close that he could smell his sour breath and have a close up look at his rotting teeth, he raised his voice and said.

" I wouldn't come over here if I were you! I'll send you right back to my father!" Nico tried to make it sound intimidating but he was pretty sure that it looked pathetic from a captured 13 year old. Apparently so did Phineas because he started laughing. It wasn't a deep belly laugh but an insane cackle that grated on Nico's ears. After hi little fit he held up the pronged lance and made a stabbing motion. The prongs imbedded themselves in the earth that surrounded him. He pressed a button near the hilt and said.

" you're going to scream little hero, I can tell you're going to scream so loud that you're throat will bleed." Nico didn't have time to think over those words, spoken with so much malice. In fact all thought was driven out of his head as lightning surged up his body. He could feel it trying to twist inside his cell, feel its straining, the pain surged through every pore, it felt like he was being unmade. It leapt over his skin, leaving smoking burnt hairs behind. It delved into his nerves and set them on fire, it incinerated his bones. Vaguely in the back of his mind Nico realized that he was screaming, loud and harsh, like the cries in the Fields of Punishments. Then suddenly it stopped. He felt his body slump in its bindings. His breathing was ragged and panting. His lips were covered in spit, he wanted to fall on the ground and cry. When would Percy get here? When would he save him? He saw Phineas smile, he wanted to run his sword through that jerk so bad. Suddenly Phineas whipped out a knife. He said.

" as you know I'm blind, so I'm not the best with this knife. I can't really tell where it will end up." Here he smiled grotesquely again. Suddenly the earth around my arms and chest lowered. I pitched forward, only to be stopped when it ended at my waist. I was hunched over when Phineas put his hand on my face a pulled it upwards. He traced my lips with his knife, then suddenly slashed at my forehead. I felt a hot and sticky substance trickle down my face. Blood. I saw him smirk through stinging eyes. He started walking away. He called over his shoulder.

" beware half-blood this is only the beginning. See we could kill you as many times as we wanted and always bring you back through Gaia's doors, so there will be much suffering on your part. And that is a fact" here he winked at me and left. I slumped over again and began to cry. My second to last thought before I blacked out was, Percy where are you? My last thought was, I still have to go to the bathroom.

There will be a sequel. That's all I have to say. There is a poll on my profile over which story I should do next. Check it out please. Even though this is mostly a depressing chapter I tried to add some humor. Did it work? Anyway REVIEW! Totallyawesome out
