WPOV:

There's a stunned silence as I glare at Percy, then all hell breaks loose.

He lunges at us, his eyes burning with hatred, but one of his hands is still attached to the table. He shouts in frustration and pulls at it, and it somehow breaks off. Percy rushes towards us, fist flying.

The only Hong I can think of is protecting Nico. I turn as Percy smacks his fists into me. He's surprising strong. I stumble, and Nico pulls himself from my arms.

Percy rams into me and I fall, and then he's on top of me, punching, slapping, taking his fingers across my face. I try to push him off me, but blood seeps into my eyes, I can't see anything but red. The red of my blood.

I hear a strangled sob from my left, and Nico starts shouting at Percy. It's no use though. He hits me again and the back of my head hits the floor. The weight is pulled off me, but I'm already slipping into the dark abyss of unconsciousness.

I know, this is really short and rubbish...
