Fall Of The Eldest - Percy Jackson

Chapter 14 - Another Day

Nico's P.O.V

I woke up with an aggressive grunt, wanting to lash out at anyone around me. I wanted to summon the shadows that wrapped around the room I was in, chained to the same table. Just this time, those same weird scientists were there to hold me down.

Back up a bit, I woke up? I didn't even know I fell asleep.

That's when it hit me. The camps didn't come to rescue us, Will and I weren't reunited. I was still stuck in this stink hole.

"Subject 13 M seems to be disoriented. Request to contain?" A broad voice spoke randomly. I wanted to argue back that I wasn't disoriented, I had a straight mind and a thought out plan about what I want to do to these guys. And it's wasn't going to be pretty.

Yet all I could do was try to yank myself out of my captor's grip as another needle was plunged into my neck and I lost consciousness.

"Do what they say and don't resist much. They can make your time here painful."

I didn't even fight to my max and this was practically torture. What Koda discussed might be easier said then done.

"Are you SERIOUS!" Jason demanded.

I was back in the room with my friends and had recently retold my story, leaving out a few specific details from the dream. Of course, they were all scandalized, Jason especially.

He kept pacing back and forth muttering swears in Latin. Hazel looked straight up speechless. And Percy was also pissed off, talking to himself in Ancient Greek as he stared out the blocked window with the sun setting over the horizon. Hazel looked straight up speechless. I don't blame them for their reactions, that was very uncomfortable and senseless.

As I sat against the side wall, Hazel sat next to me.

"I'm glad they didn't hurt you too much." She whispered, I nodded "I've gone through worse, but that definitely has a high rank on my pain tier list."

Her lips pressed together and turned into a faded frown, the stress and worry lines around her golden eyes deepening.

"I wonder what the others are up to." She said suddenly "I hope this isn't to much of a burden on them. They probably think we're dead."

I grimaced "Probably."

Looking back into my sister's eyes, I could tell she was thinking about one specific person out of the others, Frank. Knowing him, he was probably losing his mind.

I could still hear Will's words, laced with pain and sorrow , "you're alive. The men from camp. When you left..."

He thought that because the others were bombarded and dragged here that I was too, that that I was dead along with them. A part of me wanted to believe that it was just the vision messing with me, that Will wasn't grieving to painfully. But that stab of reality told me that he was.

I turned my head back to face the two boys in front of us "We'll find a way out." Hazel promised, taking my hand in a sisterly gesture.  "We will get back with the others. And it will be a heck of a story."

I could feel a small smile crack on my mouth from her words. My attention snapped back to the son of Jupiter, who's volume of swears and cursed was beginning to escalate, as was his anger. I glanced over to Percy who was still staring out the window, the sun nearly set.

"We should get some sleep guys," I suggest "we'll need all the strength we can get."

Jason faced me, wanting to argue, but I shot him a look and tilted my head to the fatigued Percy Jackson who looked dead on his feat.

Finally, he let down his guard "Alright," he said slowly "let's lay down for a bit."

We didn't have anything to sleep on except the hard concrete floor. Percy and Jason laid down top and tail style, their feet in front of the other's face. Apparently they were having an argument while I was gone because they kept kicking each other in the face and mumbling insults to each other.

I laid near Hazel, her being the only mature person in this cell. That and because she was my sister and she has a way of finding a serenity in me.

"Do you really think we can get out of this?" I whispered to her in the dark. Everything was still for a few moments before she said quietly "We've been through a lot, together and solo. Each of us have unique moments and personalities that have made us who we are. If there is not a doubt in my mind hat we can work together and with what is provided to us, we'll get through this. You're going to see Will again."

I couldn't see her face in the dark, only her silhouette laying next to me. I trusted her words.

To this day, she reminds me so much of my original older sister Bianca. That thought made me glance to my right to where Percy and Jason had finally settled down to sleep. I thought back to that moment when Percy had to break the news to me that she died protecting him.

I turned back to Hazel, who was now snoring peacefully. Sleep began to take hold of me as well, so I shifted around to get comfortable and began to sleep.

"'Night Hazel." I mumbled as my conscious began to dissolve, then I thought better.

"Goodnight Will, wherever you are."

Annabeth's P.O.V
It is strange how time works, how everything can come into play at once. People call it a coincidence, but I don't believe that. Things happen for a reason.

Today, a son of Zeus was discovered, only to be executed hours later on the TV. Only pushed my dread more. Then, Piper's dad, Tristan McClean a so called famous actor, called the big house saying he wanted his daughter to come be Oklahoma to visit. So, I went to look for her just as she landed near the Pegasus stables, looking exhausted.

When she saw me, several different emotions flashes across her facial features; shock, relief, urgency and embarrassment.

"Hey 'Beth, um... how's it going?" She stated nervously. I glared at her

"Where have you been? Did you just get back from leaving the camp grounds?"

She laughed anxiously, but shook her head to get a grip on herself "doesn't matter, right now, we need to start a meeting with the rest of the gang, I've got big news." She stated, bustling past me and dashing to the other cabins.

I chased after her, trying to get her attention, but all she did was repeat "you've gotta wait and see."

————————————————————————

I apologize for two things.

1. Sorry if the ending was a bit strange, this leads to number two.

2. Sorry I haven't posted in almost two weeks, I've got school testing all the way until the 5th.

So expect a massive delay through the end of this month and beginning of next, I'll try and put in as many chapters as possible.

And apologies for grammar errors.

Anyway, what's up with you guys?
