Percy Jackson, Angel of Chaos

Chapter 9: Percy is STILL a Seaweed Brain

Sorry if it gets boring, but there are going to be a lot of apologies in this chapter. Seriously, like hundreds, but I need everyone to tell poor Percy how much their sorry *sob*. So yeah. Soz.

Nico P.O.V

Artemis yelped Percy's name when he collapsed. I couldn't help but stare at my old friend. The one I hurt and betrayed. But he didn't even hate us, in fact, he hated himself, and that tore at my heart. Every single day, I hate myself for what I did to Percy.

He had saved me so many times, he was there for me when Bianca died, and he was my best friend, through thick and thin. And I threw him away like a piece of rubbish. I even laughed when I saw him being beaten up. He could have easily fought the others off, but he didn't in case he hurt them, but also because he blamed himself for the war.

Because we told him it was his fault.

Tears of shame fell from my black eyes. I had lost most of my friends-Thalia, Reyna, Hazel, Frank, Jason- because of what I did. Annabeth and I stuck together, and tried to work through the pain of the death of our friend, which we had caused.

Artemis shot arrows at me and Annabeth whenever we tried to talk to her. But I deserved it because it might as well have been me who was the one who killed him.

But now he was here, and alive. But he was hurt because he sacrificed himself again to save us. He laughed at eternal damnation and accepted it because the only other choice was to betray us, and save himself.

It was horrible watching Percy being tortured. Especially when Order used the Abomination. I wished I could have been the one there, but that was impossible.

I watched as all the Gods and Angels ran to Percy when he fell into Poseidon's arms. A trickle of blood escaped the corner of his mouth, and he looked deathly pale. I fought the urge to run there myself, because I knew that I wasn't welcome. I leant in closer to hear what they were saying.

"He's very weak. It's astounding that he managed to even open his eyes in the first place. He's lost a lot of blood and who knows how much damage the Abomination did to him." Chaos said, and we all looked at Percy with worry.

"I think it's best if he was taken back to his old cabin. The Poseidon cabin. The watery atmosphere will help him heal. He is his father's son, after all."

"I will stay with him." Everyone said, almost at the same time. Artemis stood up with a look so ferocious, even Chaos backed away.

"Only me and Poseidon." She growled, and everyone was so scared, they instantly agreed. No had ever seen her this way before. Poseidon lifted Percy up

Her facial expression immediately softened when she looked at Percy. She wiped the blood from his mouth and the tears from her eyes, and flashed Percy, Poseidon and herself out.

I sighed, and lowered my head. I will have to talk to Percy later. He may have forgiven me, but I and many others will not be so kind.

Poseidon's P.O.V

Artemis teleported us to my cabin, and I gasped at the sight of it. A lot of Percy's old stuff was still there, covered in dust and cobwebs. His bed was half made, and the fountain I gave him lay in ruins from when it broke to heal him. It was a sad and depressing place without Percy.

Zeus had forbidden anyone apart from me to be allowed in here. But I couldn't bring myself to do it. I came once, a few days after his death, but it broke my heart to see my son's room, the one I'd condemned to death, without him in it.

I vowed never to have another child after Percy. I couldn't, not after what I did to him. He may have forgiven me, but I will never forgive myself.
