Percy Jackson: Betrayed

Chapter 10

*Percy's POV*

Everyone's jaws drop.

"B-B-But, that's IMPOSSIBLE!" Athena stutters.

"You really aren't all that smart, are you? I told you, nothing's impossible." I say.

Athena stares at me in shock.

"How dare you disrespect a god! I'm more powerful than you, a mere mortal." She spits out.

Nicole stiffens next to me. I slowly tilt my head.

"You think....that I'm mortal?" I look at her incredulously.

"Of course?" She says unsure.

I immediately start laughing again. Nicole slowly backs away from me.

Suddenly the world starts yo shift, everything turning reddish. I send a worried look to Nicole. She nods and tries to get everyone to back up, but no one listens.

Oh yay! You let us out again!

Now we can have fun!

No, please!

Too...

LATE!

Then I'm pushed to the back of my own mind, and the voices take control.

*Nicole's POV*

Percy sent me a worried look. Meaning he's starting to have an episode. I nod and turn to everyone.

"Back up! Something bad is about to happen!" I shout.

But no one listens.

A giggling sound comes from behind me. I look at Percy and see that his eyes have changed. One is a glowing red, the other is all black with white pupils.

Oh no, the voices took over.

(Italics in "" are voice one, bold in "" are voice two)

"Yay! Percy finally let us out again!"

"I know right! It's so boring being locked up in his head all the time!"

Zeus steps forward.

"What are you talking about?" He asks.

I answer before the voices can.

"Those are the voices in Percy's head. They occasionally take over his body, forcing Percy to be a prisoner of his own mind." I say.

Poseidon looks horrified.

"How long does it last?" He asks me with tears in his eyes.

"It lasts longer every time. This one should last about 30 minuets." I shake my head sadly.

The voices turn towards the gods. They focus on one in particular. Athena.

"Oh, what have we here?"

"It looks like one of Percy's least favorite gods."

"What should we do to her?"

"We do have that one thing we were working on."

"Right! Let's do it. You start."

"Tick Tock. Goes the clock." One voice starts to sing.

As the song goes on, they get closer to Athena.

"With blood circling around them."

"Tick Tock. Goes the clock."

"He cut them and he drowned them."

"Tick Tock. Goes the clock."

"They're last words were 'I'm Sorry'"

"Tick Tock. Goes the clock."

"That's the end of this story!" They finish together.

Now Athena was on her knees, clutching her head.

"Stop! Make it stop!" She screams.

The voices just giggle.

"Sorry but we can't do tha-" He suddenly stiffens.

"No! He can't do this!" One screams.

Now they're on the ground clutching they're head.

"No!"

"Yes! This is my body! You don't control me!" Percy shouts.

I gasp. He's pushing the voices back.

Suddenly he screams, then collapses.

"Percy!" I shout and run over to him.

I listen for his heartbeat, but it's really faint. I start to panic.

"Nonono! You can't die! Don't leave me!" I shout at him, tears running down my cheeks.

Then an idea hits me. I look down at my cuff.

That's it!

I tap the cuff and say their names.

"Nyx, Tartarus, Erebus!"

Everyone looks at me confused.

"What are you doing? Help him!" Poseidon shouts.

I just glare at him and hold up one finger.

Then the ground starts to crack and the room gets darker. Everyone screams. Then three figures emerge.

"Nyx, Tartarus, Erebus! Help him!" I shout.

Nyx gasps and rushes over.

"My baby! What happened to him!" She says.

In Tartarus, while we were training with them, Nyx became a mother to us and Erebus was like our father, Tartarus was like that fun uncle/older brother.

"He fought them, then he collapsed!" She knew exactly what I meant.

Nyx immediately got to work on healing him with darkness.

The gods step forward, minus Athena, she's still curled up on the floor.

"What are you doing here?!" Zeus bellows.

I step forward and get in his face.

"She's here to help Percy, now leave her alone." I hiss at him.

All of the gods flinch away from me.

I nod and turn back to Percy, who is now surrounded by all three of our patrons.

"Will he be ok?" I ask.

Nyx looks up at me with a worried expression.

"Well, he-"

Hey! So how was the chapter? I do hope you guys forgive how long it took, I know I said a few hours. But you have to realize, I don't have anything planned out in this book. I literally come up with it as I write. Ok so here's the question...

Do you listen to records? If you do, do you have a record player in your house?

For me it's a yes and a yes. I have my own record player, and a couple hundred records.

I do NOT own the song the voices sang btw. Ok well, bye! Vote, Comment, Share, and Don't forget to find all eight pages!
