Percy Jackson - Betrayal Reveals

#7

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN PJO OR HOO SINCE RICK RIORDAN DOES!

This is more a grief-stricken Percy. He's broken. Really broken. This is also really long.

Fade POV

I was on my knees, shaking in rage and shock. the battle was won. But at what cost?

"Fade..." Hero began, kneeling down to comfort me. But I couldn't be helped. I my arms, lay a bleeding out Bianca Di Angelo. Nico was behind me, crying into Will's shirt. Will himself had tried to heal her, but the blood loss was too much. She was gone. Gone to extent of no return. This is her second time dying. Chaos can't bring her back. I stood, shivering, and placed her body onto the ground so that her father could sense her. And he did, because the Underworld shook. I should die. I knew that much. It was my fault. I should've jumped in front of the blade. I should of took it. The cursed blade that had been used to stab my ex-lover so long ago had struck again, poison dripping off its blade. A deadlier poison. One which finished her off with the hellhound.

"Make her a funeral pyre. For Bianca Di Angelo." Astro told the Hephaestus campers. They quickly nodded and raced off, along with the rest of the campers. All except the seven, Nico, and Will. Annabeth kneeled down with Piper.

"Fa-" She began. I flinched.

"No." I muttered. I didn't want to talk right now. I didn't want anyone. I just wanted peace. So I jumped over the body of my lover, the one who had comforted me after everything I have been through, and raced out of the barrier, letting down all of my masks and emotional shields. I felt wet salty tears trace me cheeks, but I didn't care. I heard my warriors call out behind me, but I didn't care. I ran as fast as I possibly could until I reached my destination. A tiny white flower just outside of the Empire State Building. It may not be much, but my past shows more. I remembered that day as if it were yesterday.

"See that flower? It's so small, yet has so much life. You've got to appreciate that it will always be there. Percy, if I'm ever gone, just remember me, alright? No grief. Just come to this flower. Life is eternal, whether is continues in Elysium or Tartarus." Bianca had said, holding my hand. I had reassured her that she would never leave. But she has.  -The daisy was rooted to the ground, standing there for such a long time. I had given it eternal life. But now, that seemed cruelly ironic. With a flick of my hand, it crumbled to ash. Nothing. A flash sounded behind me. I turned, preparing my sword, Wave.

"Young demigod. So you are looking for your lover?" A booming voice sounded. The area around me darkened. I was slowly transported to a cave, smelling of moss and blood.

"What do you want." I growled. The figure chuckled. Only then I realized how massive he was. He was a shadow, but his eyes gave it away.

"Kronos." I said through gritted teeth. Wave was pointed at his throat defiantly, but he couldn't care less.

"I can bring her back. I only want a few things." He said. I almost dropped Wave. He could bring Bianca back?

"You killed her!" I shouted.

"Only for this bargain. It would be like it never happened if you agree on the Void with my terms." He said. My eyes darkened, sadness and anger taking over again. I needed Bianca. She is what Annabeth once was.

"I swear on the Void to follow your conditions while you have Bianca." I growled. Fire sprung from the moss around us, while water swirled in vortexes of leaves. The wind howled, as if cackling. Kronos grinned. I'll admit, it was poor wording, but I need to see her.

"The girl is in our chamber. You will be able to be reunited once more when you follow out on the conditions." The time lord said.

"What are your terms?" I asked.
