Shattered like glass. (PJO fanfic. Betrayal)

Chapter Twenty Eight

Happy Fourth of July to those who celebrate it! We've made it guys! Last chapter!

Third Person POV

While everyone started to freak out, Percy had silently snuck away from the group, trying to deal with his inner turmoil.

In the mean time, Apollo and Hermes were trying to calm down the assembled campers.

"Hey, Thalia?"

"Yes, Nico?"

"Where's Percy?"

The two started to look around, searching for the Sea Prince. Eventually, they found themselves fruitless, and decided that he must have snuck away.

"Hermes, can you and Apollo deal with this? Thalia and I need to find Percy."

"Uh, yeah, sure."

"Thanks!"

The duo rushed off to go find the Son of Poseidon.

Percy POV

There's another war coming.

Ooh, battles and blood shed!

Who are you?

I'm one of the voices inside your head.

How come I'm only noticing you now?

Well, that's because...uh, I don't know.

Boys.

Who are you?

I'm another voice inside your head. I am June. The doofus is Jack.

Why-

"Percy!"

I look towards the voice, wanting it to go away, so that I may continue my conversation with June and Jack.

It's Nico.

"Percy, are you okay?" He sounds relieved.

"Yeah...yeah, I'm...fine."

He looks unsure but seems to decide to shrug it off.

"Percy...I'm sorry, but..."

Nico POV

Looking for Percy with Thalia, is a lot harder than I excreted. I thought we might find him on the beach or something, but no. He's not there.

"Where could he-whoa!" Something, or someone, smacks into me, and I fall onto the sand.

I get up and look down, only to see the one and only, Rachel Elizabeth Dare.

"Rachel?"

"Nico?"

"What are you-"

"Nico, I have a feeling. Something big is coming and-"

Suddenly her eyes turned green and a green mist escaped from her mouth.

The little big three shall travel to the west

The Shattered Sea shall lead the quest

Seven days time they have to save the taken

Or all will be as if it was not written.

And then she fell. I was too stunned to react, but thankfully, Thalia wasn't. She caught the red headed oracle, and gently lay her on the sand.

"We need to find Percy."

Thalia POV

Another quest, and it specifically mentions 'The Little Big Three'. That could be me, Nico, and Percy, or Jason, Hazel, and Percy. Either way, it includes Percy. I guess it would probably be up to Percy on who to take.

How is he going to take it?

He's practically broken as it is, you can just see it in his eyes.

Nico and I run to the last place where Percy could be, his cabin. We find him sitting on his bed.

"Percy!" Nico calls.

Percy turns towards us and yes, he certainly does look broken-shattered, like glass.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah...I'm...I'm fine."

Nico seems to shrug it off, but I know he sees it too.

"Percy, I'm sorry, but..."

Percy POV

What is he sorry for? He's not breaking up with me, is he?

"You're not breaking up with me, are you?" My voice is shaky even though I don't want it to be. I can see that he hears it too.

"What? No! Never!"

He rushes over and holds me tight against his chest.

"I'd never break up with you. Not in a million years."

"Okay."

We stay that way for a minute or two, until finally, Thalia speaks up.

"Percy...he's sorry because there's a new quest...and you're part of it."

"No..." Nick holds me tighter and presses a kiss against my unmoving lips. I just stare straight ahead at the wall.

No. Not again. Please not again.

I feel it, this time, when I break a little more than I already have.

Oh I know, now!

Yeah?

He can hear us because he's shattered! He's shattered like glass!

Yes, and it will take a lot of work to fix.
