The Ice King (A Pione Fanfiction)

Chapter 3

Unknown POV:

The patch on my face, rubbed into my gash, once again reminding me of what happened. I clenched my hands into fists, letting out a cold puff of air as I tried to forget about the pain. It felt like my face was burning slowly and I had no water to extinguish it. I laughed bitterly, of course, this pain had to feel like fire, Gaea always loved irony. I stood up and walked out of the unlocked cell, knowing I would be sent back in there if I tried to defend him again.

I made my way back to my frost covered room, running my fingers through my tangled black hair. I glanced at the mirror, cringing at my reflection. Most of my face was covered in dry blood, small droplets still oozing from underneath the patch. My once clean white clothing was now tattered and stained, showing my bleeding stomach through the holes. I lifted up the patch slowly and stared at the hole in the mirror. Perhaps I could create a frozen one since not even Apollo could heal what Gaea did to my eye. I concentrated for a moment and created a frozen eye in the palm of my hand; it was almost identical to my real one. I used a warm wash cloth to wipe off the dry blood surrounding my cut, before slowly inserting the ice eye into it.

I once again felt as if I was on fire.

I swallowed my sobs and continued to heal the area around the eye, to ensure it wouldn't fall out. I was quite proud of my work once I had finished, you could barely tell I had my eye ripped out. Once I changed into new clothes, I set out to find Gaea and discover what her plan was.

The halls were empty, blood stains littered the walls causing me to cringe. While I loved using my powers to its full extent, joining Gaea's forces had some drawbacks. Torture was one of them, and it certainly wasn't any fun to watch. Though I am known as the Ice Queen, even ice can melt a little sometimes. As I walked down the corridors, I found my mind lingering on one thought, or rather one person.

Percy Jackson.

I don't know what it is about him that makes me feel almost warm inside. Perhaps it's his eyes that are full of happiness and light, or his beautiful smile that can make the world seem brighter. A smile found its way onto my face without me even realizing, as I continued to dream about the green eyed boy. Perhaps one day I could rescue him from this hell and take him to my castle of ice, where he will become my little Ice King. I felt giddy just thinking about him and I spending days together, just the two of us. However, none of that could happen if I didn't think of a way to get him out of here fast, for my Ice King is slowly melting.

I knew my love would be getting his daily torture any minute and I knew I had to be there. Not to see his pain, but to help him any way I can. Maybe I can stab him with a frozen needle of ice? It would cause him pain, but it could potentially heal him. I quickened my steps as I grew closer to his cell, hoping to get there before Gaea. In another two strides, I was at his door and being allowed in by the guard without being second guessed. Oh, how naive they were, for my Perseus would be here no longer.

A smile found its way onto my face as I entered, staring at my Percy. He was currently sitting against the wall, looking up at me wearily. "Hello, Percy!" I giggled, unable to control my happiness. I was going to get my love out of here and then we were going to go far away. I no longer needed Gaea or her plan of domination, I only needed this adorable boy.

"Um, hello?" Percy said confused, staring up at me. I flashed him another smile before grabbing his hand, gripping it tightly. I looked at him for a moment, taking in his appearance, my smile slipping slightly.

"We're leaving Percy!" I exclaimed after a second, my smile returning once again. "We will be free!"

"Um...what?" Percy questioned, his eyes widening.

"Don't you understand Percy? We'll be free together, finally! Now let's hurry my Ice King, I can sense her getting closer." I didn't wait for his response as I grabbed his other arm and took us away from that wretched place in a flurry of snowflakes. I could almost feel the anger seeping off Gaea as we slipped away into the sky, drifting into what I hoped would be my perfect ending.

I mean, I think I deserve it after all of this. It's not every day that an ice goddess meets someone who can thaw her heart without even trying. Especially someone as gorgeous as my Percy, and as sweet as him. Even though I was only snowflakes at the moment, I felt as though I had the biggest smile on my face. We were almost at the castle and I just couldn't wait to show him everything inside. I just knew he would love it, I mean he too can manipulate ice, right? Perhaps not as well as me, but maybe in time we could truly be the ice king and queen.

I felt the harsh winds whip around us and I knew we were finally here. Once we settled into our full forms (it takes a few seconds for those snowflakes to get in the right place), I turned to Percy with a huge smile. "Welcome home! I know, I know, it looks kind of lonely on the outside, but just wait until you get inside! You're going to love it, I just know it," I giggled, mumbling the last part a little.

"Can...Gaea get us here?" Percy asked quietly, not looking up. I wonder what was his problem was, and how I could solve it. I felt this urgency to keep him happy for some reason, my gods I felt like a school girl again. Well, as close to a school girl a goddess can get.

"Of course not, Percy. We're up high in the sky, that's why it took a while to get here silly," I shook my head at him for thinking I would even let Gaea near him. You see, I've been observing him for quite a while now, even before he got to the Underground (It was Gaea's choice, I know it's awful).

Percy seemed to perk up a little at the fact we were in the sky. "So we're like up in the clouds?" He asked, looked around us. There wasn't much to see since an ice barrier covered the entire area to ensure our safety. The only thing you could really look at was the castle, which glittered in the sunlight.

"Yes, it's pretty cool huh?" I answered as I grabbed his hand gently. "Are you ready for the best tour you will ever see?" Percy thought for a moment before answering me, his green eyes swirling with an emotion I couldn't decipher.

"Yea...you sure it's going to be the best? I've been on some pretty sweet tours before," Percy answered, cracking his signature smile.

"Well obviously, I wouldn't show it to you if I didn't know it was the best," I replied, looking him in the eye. "So are you ready? Or are you going to wait until the castle melts?" I asked sarcastically, brushing a strand of hair behind my ear.

"Yup," He answered, looking down at our intertwined hands.

"Great! There's so much to see, I hope we can finish before dinner," I exclaimed excitedly, tugging him towards the palace.

"I just have one question, do you have blue food here?"
