Chaos's Oath

The Rescue

Percy’s P.O.V

 

I was sick of everything; my so called ‘family’ who still hadn’t come to save me yet. I was sick of the pain and torture, and of Kronos’s taunting voice and Gaea trying to persuade me to join her side. I wanted it to end but I couldn’t betray my friends, it wasn’t like me. I sat on the floor emotionless, I didn’t show pain, hope, or confidence. Each of them hurt too much, pain is pain and hope is unreal at this point, and my confidence burnt out last week. I heard a crash so I stood up.

“KRONOS!” roared Gaea, and the titan flew out and hit me in the face.

“Again?” I asked, at least once a week Kronos would anger Gaea in some sort of way and she would throw him at me.

“Yes Jackson, this time it was over cupcake flavors…” he says bitterly, punching me in the gut.

“It doesn’t bother me anymore” I state, he gives me a confused look and punches me again.

“What do you mean?” he asks, slapping me.

“I don’t feel the pain anymore. It felt like a pinch when you slammed into me and you’re a titan.” I tell him, he looks at me in horror.

“GAEA!” he yelled, running towards the kitchen. I hear whispering and then Gaea comes out.

“So, you cant feel pain anymore?” she asks in a mocking tone.  “I think that I can fix that,” she says, smirking.

“No you cant,” I growled, I had basically no feeling left in my body. I don’t think all the gods falling on me at once would hurt.

“I’ll find a way… have you ever heard of my son Universe? Not many people have, he isn’t known in any history books but people faintly remember.” she says.

“No, I haven’t heard of Universe.” I state, and she unhooks my chains dragging me away into a dark cave.

“This is where universe holds up the universe… Perseus, if you thought the world was heavy times that by about a million.” she says, I shrugged and anger crept across her face. She launched me towards Universe who sidestepped and left me standing there holding up the universe. I struggled to stand up but I did causing Gaea to stand there shocked. I had one finger holding up the universe because I couldn’t feel it.

“Told you,” I said, Universe came up and punched me in the gut. I slammed backwards holding up the universe with two hands. Then Gaea realized what was going on.

“Your Nerve cells! “ she cried. “They burnt out, but lucky for you Perseus the world has found a way to replace them! We better get you to a hospital right away!” she cried in mock sympathy. I was rushed out and we were in a house where Gaea was on a phone talking to someone in a worried voice. “He doesn’t remember who I am and he cant feel anything!” she cried, fake tears streaming down her face. Within minutes I was in an ambulance being rushed to the hospital. I was laid down on a hospital bed and rolled into the hospital where Doctor Harper took a blood sample so I would know who I was.
