Awakening to Struggles
Chapter 8
Choices and Surprises
Percy and Jason sat waiting in the corner afraid for their cousin, but they didn't let it show. They stood glaring at Ben who was staring at them both awaiting Nick's return, and hopefully Nico too. The silence was tense and chilling. Percy could feel Jason shivering as they sat leaning on each other and against the wall. They waited for Ben to say something but the ogre of a boy stayed silent.
The silence was broken by the creaking if the heavy door as Nick returned alone. Questions and concern built up within Percy and Jason but before they could voice then Nick walked up to them with a deadly serious gaze and crouched by them.
"Enough games, you have a choice here. You can either agree to work with us, and your cousin will return, or you can join him, and i'd think fast because his time will be running out fast" said the son of hermes with bitter venom.
Percy and Jason glared at him but knew he was speaking the truth.
Nick growled at their silence. "Fine, we'll give you an hour to think about it, give the little camera a wave if you decide before then, but you really should hurry, with his condition, Nico could catch hyperthermia a lot faster, especially since he was still damp from the housing"
With that Nick left with his lacky following him and Percy's dread grew even more, which was hard to believe possible.
Percy looked at Jason trying to read his expression but he couldn't tell if what he saw was grief, worry or rage but it was probably a mix of all three.
"What do we do Percy. We can't give in but we can't just let Nico die…." Said Jason, his voice cracking slightly like he's trying to keep it together.
Percy didn't know what to suggest, he knew they couldn't let Nico die, but betraying Olympus, which he had almost died saving twice just didn't seem possible for him to do either.
"I ...I think we should hold off on an answer for as long as possible...Hopefully Leo and others will find us soon and we will all get out of here" said Percy before looking at the ground.
He heard Jason let out a sigh and he was about to say something else when suddenly they heard a thud, they both looked at eachother in total silence before turning to face the wall the thud came from.
There was another thud, and another, and another. Percy stood weakly and stepped towards it as the wall cracked, then suddenly it crumbled to rubble with a large hole in it and through the hole they saw a grinning elfish boy with hands blazing.
"Hi Guys, You ok?" Said Leo stepping through the hole he had made and looking towards the two demigods. Once Leo jumped through, Will followed and then Annabeth and Piper jumped through, both with their weapons out ready for a fight but seeing there was no threat they ran to their respective boyfriends and hugged them.
Relief flooded through Percy as her arms wrapped around him and Leo approached Jason and melted off his cuffs and then he did the same for Percy.
"The Argo II is outside, let's go qui…" Leos sentence was interrupted by Will who was checking over Jason.
"Wait!" He shouted, though not meaning to be too loud,"Where's Nico, you said he was here too" he said worried which then flooded back into Percy as he looked at the son of Apollo.
Percy looked at Jason who responded to wills question.
"We don't know, Nick dragged him away not too long ago, but apparently he's in danger of catching hypothermia"
Leo rolled his eyes at his friend.
"You realise that there's nothing but miles and miles of snow surrounding this place Jason, he could be anywhere around here"
Percy bit his lip. "When he was taken, Nick wasn't gone for more than 5 minutes, so he's close, but we HAVE to find him.
The demigods nodded and Piper helped Jason stand and they turned towards the door, only to be greeted by the sight of Ben and Nick, Ben holding a large jagged blade and Nick with his bow drawn and an arrow aimed directly at Percy's chest.
"Well Guys" said Nick "You didn't tell us you were having friends round"
