Chapter 21: Pocket full of Posies (Percy's POV)

My heart felt ripped apart. I felt as if I had been crushed underfoot, I could barely breathe.


"Percy, it's okay-" Hazel began and I just bit the inside of my cheek desperately.

"Yeah, it's fine. We need to talk to Hades," I manage to choke out. Jason and Will are looking me up and down, no doubt making sure I'm not falling apart.


"Right, Lord Hades it is," Charon agreed and we set sail for the throne room.


****


I walked in, leading the pack of demigods and my cheek sore from the constant biting. The doors opened with a loud bang and Hades's head snapped towards our direction. It's then that I really appreciate the looks Nico had from the God.


Now, I'm not saying Hades looks hot or anything...


But I'm saying he looked a little like Nico, probably because he missed his son.


So I'm saying that Hades look kinda hot.


"Percy Jackson," Hades growled. "To what do I owe the pleasure?"

"Why did you let him go!" I screamed. I charged and Jason and Will desperately tried to stop me. Piper yelled, but the charmspeak didn't work. I brought out my sword and desperately brought it above my head to slice Hades in half.


"He chose it himself," Hades says calmly as he stands and steps to the side. I scream again, wildly swinging my sword.


"Bring him back!" I screamed loudly, "BRING HIM BACK!" It was then I felt the hot tears slip down my cheeks.


"I can't."

"Bring him back," I gasped and fell to my knees. My sword clattered next to me and I sobbed into my hands. "I've never loved or missed anyone like this before. Lord Hades, if this is... if this is what love is like-" I took shuddering breaths, looking up at the God who looked like Nico, but not quite. He too had tears falling down his cheeks.
