Percy Jackson's Last Breath

<CHAPTER 7>

~Percy's POV~

I jolted from my sleep, unable to remember if I dreamed or not. Sore from the mesmerizing pain I went through, I was unable to move my head. I couldn't even move a damn finger. I quickly scan my surroundings and notice that I'm at the same cave but there was fire in the middle. Surrounding the fire was two figures.

They both seemed to be at the same height of 5'7 ish. They were sitting down on a big rock near the fire with their backs turned to me. Trying not to draw attention to myself, I slowly move my body into a sitting position.

Pain stuck me every time I moved but I ignored it because I need to get out of here. Who knows if those figures want to eat  me for dinner. Right when I was about to sit up right, I yelp as pain ignites in my lower stomach.

Frantic, I look over to the two figures to see them gone.

Crap, I thought.

"About time you've woken up boy," I frantically look around the cave for the raspy voice.

"I thought you weren't gonna wake up for a second there," someone chuckles.

Breathing harshly, I ask them, "Who are you?"

Then came out the two figures from the shadows and walked into the light. I squint my eyes, trying to block out the stars I see.

They each had long, ratty, black hair. The figure on my right had a ghastly shade of blue colored eyes and the figure on my left had a bright green color. It was so bright, it seemed unnatural; which it most likely is. Their skin was a horribly pale color. Their lips were thin and dry. They both appeared to be woman but were dressed in very dirty, beige rags.

Barefooted, they walk a little closer to me and pause when they're a couple feet away.  I realize that in the state Im in, theres no way Im going to be able to fight back if they attack. So i stop trying to move and just stare blankly at them while laying down on the cold floor.

The one with the blue eyes tells me,"We are Arai; female spirits of curses."

I curse loudly. F*ck. Theres no way Im getting out of here alive.

The green- eyed Arai laughs at me. " Now what shall we curse you with?" She taps her finger on chin and thinks of what torture to put me in.

Can't I have a break? Why are the furies so cruel?

"Ahhhh, yes. Ive got it now. I will curse you with immortality. But its not what you think it is. No, you will be immortal but my curse for you is for you to slowly and painfully lose your mind. Quite literally. Yours eyes will crack at each increase of insanity you have. To reverse the curse is quite impossible. No matter how hard you try to reverse it, the faster the process of your mind shattering it will be. One day, you will lose your mind completely and there's no going back. No one will be able to stop you. Absolutely no one, not even yourself. Why? Because your immortality will keep you from killing yourself." She laughs maniacally.

My eyes are wide open now from fear.

The blue-eyed Arai grins at me and yells, "Oh! But thats not all! You still need my curse."

I'm about ready to crap myself.

The malice in her eyes grows each passing minute, "You will be able to speak to monsters of all kind. You can think of that as a blessing, or curse, i do not care. You will also be able to control all liquids, blood including. "

Tremors spread throughout my body as I stare at her in horror.

"And darling trust me, thats a curse. Because as you start losing your mind, you can't help the need and want to kill someone with your powers. Imagine just snapping your fingers and immediately stop the blood flow in one's body. Its an instant kill sweetheart. You'll be a cold blooded murder whether you like it or not. "She grins at me while tears fill my eyes in dread.

They both walk closer to me and get a grip on my hands. I struggle against their hold as I miserably fail to fight.

"Stop!" I yell at the top of my lungs," Why are you doing this?! Please! Stop!Ple-"

My pleas were put to a stop as my head abruptly began to throb with pain. Suddenly, I was blinded with flashing colors. The pain throbbed so violently, I wondered why my head didn't just crack open. Nausea hit me like a truck and I felt the need to throw up.

"Its not our fault you touched the light on the wall. You brought this upon yourself. Now listen you little pest, we know who you are. You're the olympians favorite pet. Hurting you would be like hurting them so why wouldn't we do this?The only things they've done to us is cast us away to Tartarus. Ta ta sweetie pie."

And with that, I blacked out once again.
