Betrayed and Alone

Story of Betrayal Part 3 And Attempt To Escape

Thanks, DemigodInTraining! Sorry if it isn't good, I just came up with this as I went along.

        Percy was devastated. Now that he was in the Pit, he realized how stupid he was to not see the signs. He really was a Seaweed Brain. And it didn't help that his evil grandpa tortured him every day, telling him that he (Percy) was worthless, that nobody cared that he was gone- they had always hated him. But Percy was also finding out their battle plans- Kronos and Gaea would rise, again, and this time they would defeat the gods and rule the world. "Soon, in a year or two." Kronos had said. Percy was always covered in blood. He had found a way to take the immortality out of him- he had stabbed himself in the heart. Crazy, stupid, and suicidal. It had been 499 Tarturas years so far, and Percy was reaching the breaking point. 6 more months and it would be 500 years- that was when Percy planned to escape. He just wanted to die a some what peaceful death, out of the hell hole, on his own terms. If he could manage to do that, hopefully he could manage the Fields of Asphodel. Peaceful nothingness- I wouldn't have to remember her making out with my idiotic half bro- Percy paused in his thinking. Wait, if Poseidon disowned me... then technically Jack isn't my half-brother! And for the first time in years, even centuries, Percy grinned. And he kept grinning, even when Kronos came to torture him, ("What are you grinning about, fool?"), even when Kronos carved a K into his wrist, even when Kronos punished him, and kept grinning even when Kronos became creeped out and backed away. He kept grinning like a maniac, because Jack wasn't his half-brother any more.

                                                                       5 1/2 months later............. 

        SNAP! It was the sound of a mind breaking- Percy's mind, to be exact. Kronos smiled- he had finally broken the Hero of Olympus, his grandson. Kronos let the broken boy fall to the ground. "I'll be gone for about 1/2 a month, so I suggest you stay here." And with that the time lord kicked his prisoner across the room, ignoring the involuntary painful yelp and sound of breaking bones that followed, and left the torture dungeon, locking the door. Curling into a tight ball, Percy managed to keep a shred of what was left of his sanity as he thought about what Kronos had said. Luckily, he had prepared- he knew that once every century that Kronos had him as a prisoner, Kronos left and sharpened his blades and torture devices. How did Percy know this? He felt the difference between a dull blade and a sharp one. Percy smiled as he reached into his pocket, feeling a certain pen in there. Then his face became horrified-he sensed his granddad returning. Percy quickly took his hand out of his pocket and curled into a tighter ball, ignoring his broken bones, but yelped once in a while. Kronos threw the door open, strolled over to Percy, and kicked him in the gut so hard that Percy hit the wall again. Then Kronos took out some Celestial bronze chains.

         Percy noticed that he wasn't in a corner, like he was in the other centuries. He always struggled. The raven-haired demigod darted past his grandpa, towards the door. Kronos kicked Percy again, and reached for a weapon. Realizing where Percy was going, Kronos used time to slow Percy down, and ran ahead to the door, slamming it shut. Almost immediately did Percy begin to run in the other direction, but the time lord just made Percy slow to a crawl and even slower until Percy stopped before walking towards the frozen half-blood. Whistling, the titan causally kicked the horrified boy so hard that the demigod hit the metal wall and made a dent in it. The furious titan walked towards the dazed half mortal before mercilessly kicking him as hard as he could, and with every kick Percy yelped, screamed, or wailed, struggling to get away. When the disowned sea spawn stopped struggling (about five or six hours later), Kronos gave the limp half-blood one last kick that broke his ribs and knocked the breath out of him before picking him up by the neck. The demigod was breathing heavily as Kronos dragged him to a cage.

         The golden-eyed titan tossed his prisoner in the cage after handcuffing him and chaining him up, confident that the demigod couldn't escape, especially after the heavy punishment he had been given. "I'll... escape..... one.... day!..." the sea-green eyed boy rasped, already losing consciousness, his eyes closing. Kronos paused, feeling a flicker of remorse before shaking his head and slamming the cage door and leaving. For some reason, he just didn't feel like doing this to his grand kid any more.
