Skylar's  POV

Darkness is all I see, and I register silence. My rubbery limbs find purchase on the cold ground, and I shakily rise.

"H-hello?!" I yell, blindly feeling my way towards oblivion. A white light blasts my vision, and I cover my eyes quickly. I close my eyes tight as a cold, piercing voice enters my head.

"Poor little girl, are you lost?" Kronos's voice echoes in my brain. My knees buckle and I fall to my knees, clutching my head

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!" I shriek, and his voice penetrates my head again.

"Just a little... tinkering. Now you can watch me kill off all your friends and family, from your own mind! Like... a little movie theater." He muses. I grind my teeth, furious. Mr. I'm-Gonna-Destroy-You-All has NO right to hurt my family!

"LET ME GO DAMN YOU LET ME GO!" I scream, running at the first thing I turn to. I creat a mental picture. Four walls on each side, no escape in sight.

I pound my fist against the wall, crying and screaming. He chuckles.

"There's no use. You're stuck here, until your body burns out, killing you along with it." I pound on the wall one last time before sliding down the hard surface, shaking.

"You're never gonna get away with this." I whisper, my voice rising in hysteria.

"Oh, I already have. Enjoy the show." The light goes out, leaving me blind again. I close my eyes tight, surrendering to the darkness again.

Percy's POV

Breathe, BREATHE Percy!
I suck in a breath much too quickly, and I double over coughing and crying at the same time, like a symphony of pain. I hear footsteps on the hill, then a hand on my back. I fling my arms around them, not caring who it is beside me. They could be Thantos for all I care. I clin to the only anchor I have to reality. Another hand rubs circles on my back, the way Mom used to do when I was little, softly and gently. I hear someone, Bianca, crying softly, as I heave in gasps, hyperventilating.

"I-it's not p-possible." I say, shaking. She grips my hand as I shiver.

"I don't know Perce, I don't know." She murmurs.

We sit there for gods knows how long, holding each other as the conch horn blows, and campers gather around the campfire, singing and telling stories as the two of us are lost in our own thoughts. She lets go of me and crawls around to the front of me, kneeling down and taking both my hands in her own, looking me in the eye. Her black hair falls around her face, tears in her fire-illuminated dark eyes.

"Look, I don't know how this happened, but we will get Skylar back. I promise. She wraps her arms around my neck and I pull her in closer. I bury my face into her dark hair, catching the soothing scent of lavender and vanilla.

"Everything's gonna be fine, Perce. Everything's gonna be ok."
