Saving Percy

Loki's P.O.V

As soon as Percy left, I followed him to his room. I sneaked in and saw him collapse onto his bed. I watched for a while before jumping in fright as he writhed around. I heard a muffled cry and red stained his bed. I looked worridly at him. I saw long, deep slits appear on his arms. He thrashed around and more cuts and wounds appeared all over his body. I shook him, but he wouldn't wake up. I didn't know what to do. I placed my hands on goods temples and pushed my mind into his. I saw a dark cell, Percy was chained to a wall. He was covered in cuts and bruises but he still had defiance in his eyes. There was a very powerful being in front of him. I could tell that the being was a hundred times more powerful than me or even Thor. For first time in my life, I felt fear. I could tell that this was Tartaraus. I shrank back into a shadow, watching in horror. Tartaraus laughed cruelly and plunged a knife into Percy's stomach. He grunted in pain and glared at Tartaraus. He made a curling motion with his hand and a giant chunk of debris rammed into Percy's shoulder. There was a sickening crunch as his arm shattered. He cried out in pain and his arm hung limply by his side. He gritted his teeth in pain.

"Ready to give up and come to me willingly?" Tartaraus asked in a cold voice. Percy's eyes glinted with defiance and strength.

"Sure. When Zeus comes dancing in here in his pink underpants singing 'somewhere over the rainbow' and rescues me with his rainbow unicorn." Percy said, proving that even when injured and close to death, he was still loyal to those that betrayed him. Tartaraus let out an animalistic growl and snarled at him.

"You will join my side boy, by will or by force." He said maliciously. Percy glared at Tartaraus and spat in his face. Tartaraus looked ready to explode. He punched Percy's jaw and his head snapped back, hitting the wall. Percy looked dazed for a few seconds.

"Don't go anywhere. I'll be back soon." Tartaraus sneered and left the cell. I hurriedly ran to Percy. He looked weirdly at me.

"Loki?" He asked in confusion.

"Great, I'm imagining people rescuing me." He muttered.

"You're not imagining anything. I'm really here and I'm gonna get you out of here." I told him and unlocked his chains. As he slumped to the ground I caught him. He grunted in pain as I knocked his shattered arm.

"Sorry." I muttered. I placed my hands on his head and concentrated. It was hard, but I was slowly managing to push him back into reality. He woke with a gasp and I collapsed to the ground, exhausted. I saw Percy stumble out of his bed. He bumped into his nightstand and cried out in pain. He held his limp arm and stumbled to the bathroom. A few minutes later came out, all of his wounds healed. He obviously had used water to heal them.

"Thank you for saving me." He muttered. I shrugged.

"So. Tell me everything." I commanded. He told me all about how Tartaraus had been visiting him in his dreams.

"Why didn't you tell us sooner?" I asked. Percy shrugged.

"It's my problem. Not yours." I sighed. Typical Percy.
