Son of Poseidon-Betrayed.

Chapter 9

NicoPOV

My brain refused to comprehend what Percy had told me. I had always thought he was one of those rare half-bloods that had a perfect childhood, but I guess I was wrong. I just continued to stare as he cried.

'Perce... we're you a-abused?' I ask hesitantly.

He didn't answer, just started crying harder. I slowly inched closer, knowing now the reason he flinched. Every step I took he flinched back and ended up in a ball on the floor.

'Please don't hit me too.' He whispered, almost inaudible.

'Percy, I would never!'

'Yes you would!' He was up and pacing again. 'They all do eventually! Eventually everyone leaves me! I'm just destined to be alone, nothing but an item people take their anger out on.' He sounded so depressed that I wanted to go up and hug him, but knew he would only flinch away again.

'You're not alone. You will never be alone.'

He lifted his head and stared at me,

'Really?' I never thought I would see him looking so insecure.

'Yes really, we will stand by you no matter what.' I smile, which no guys I don't look creepy.

'Thank you.' He didn't sound totally reassured, but good enough for now.

'Will you forgive Thalia?' I questioned.

'I kinda have to, don't I?' He sighed, sitting on his ocean blue bed.

'Why do you say that?' I questioned, confused as to why he had to forgive Thalia. I understood why he would, with loyalty being his fatal flaw, but now why he had to.

'What do you mean?' (cue Justin Bieber)

'I mean, why do you have to forgive her?'

'Because it is not fair to her that I get all worked up about something that she had nothing to do with, then not tell her what's really wrong but stay mad at her. I would hate it if she did that to me so i refuse to do the same to her.' There's my cousin. I slowly put my arms around him, and he hugged back.

'We should probably go back out there, I'm sure more people are awaiting assistance.' I stated. Percy just nodded, wiped his tears and then walked out, shoulders high.

Looking back on it I wish I didn't seem so oblivious and naive.

We walked through the metaphorical labyrinth of hallways in silence; there was nothing to say. We neared the daylight, when we say Sandy. She looked sad but when she saw us her eyes flashed with pain. Only for a second but I can identify pain pretty fast seeing as I've experienced it before. The look was gone and replaced with platonic love. She tore down the hallway and threw herself at Percy and he hugged her back like his life depended on it. I remembered what he had said about everyone leaving him, but I knew- and he knew too- that Sandy would never do that.

Sandy whispered something in Percy's ear; he grew pale. She released herself from him, smiled warmly then twirled around and jogged away.

'What did she say, Perce?' I asked, gently.

'Just that Chaos needed me, but apparently he looked oddly worried which worries me.'

I understood what he was saying because anything that worried Chaos, the creator of all, is a force to be reckoned with.

'Okay, you go. Do you want me to tell Thalia what we talked about?' I asked.

'No, she doesn't need to feel worse than I'm sure she already does and I don't need her to worry about me.' We had kept walking and now had reached split hallways, in the shape of a 'T'.

'Okay.' I went down the left and Percy went down the right. I hoped everything would be fine he doesn't need more stress.

Chaos POV

I was about to tell Percy that he must go to Earth and reveal himself, and I was a nervous wreck. I know that this is wrong, that I had promised him a safe place and that he would not have to see any of them again, but this is important.

I heard a knock on my office door, the time has come.

'Come in!' I yell.

'Father?' He knew I was worried, but obviously not why.

'Yes, Percy. Sit down please. I would like to discuss something rather important with you. Something you will not be very happy about.'

Well, here goes nothing.
