P A R T 2Percy gripped the b***h's neck in both his hands. She kicked, squirmed, and clawed at him to let her go but to no avail.
Noimo reacted immediately, not really quite believing Percy's behavior. "Stop it Percy!" He shrieks as he ran toward him.
With his back facing Noimo, Percy slowly let go of her neck and once he did, she gasped for air. Taking deep breaths, she sucked in as much oxygen she possibly could. Her face was still purple with veins popping as she heaved heavily.
Without turning, Percy shifted his head. Noimo could only see half his face but shivered when he saw the look in his eye. Percy's eyes were dark and cold, like really dark, to the point they look almost black. Even from their distance, Noimo can see the small cracks in his eyes which was very bizarre to him.
"Percy, stop before you do something you'll regret," Noimo tells him in a desperate voice.
Percy's jaw ticks as he clenches his teeth together. "Please," Noimo pleads.
"She deserves to suffer," Percy responds in an incredibly deep voice, facing forward again.
Noimo felt hurt but quickly pushed his feelings to the back of his mind. There was no time to focus on ridiculous things. Right now, he had to stop Percy from making a big mistake.
Yes, Noimo wanted the b***h to die. She deserves it, but Noimo feared that it wouldn't only be her dying if Percy killed her. He was scared that Percy would no longer be his true self and convert into a monster. The monster he is destined to be because of his troublesome curse.
"Yes, she does Percy. I'm not saying she doesn't." Noimo steps closer to Percy but stopped when Percy glanced at him again.
"She deserves to be punished or even killed. But Percy, think about your well being, please." Noimo tries to reason with him, "This, what you're doing, is only hurting you. You're cursed for gods sake Percy and you don't think that killing her will officially trigger the curse? Think, Percy, think."
He stomps to stand right behind Percy, whose back was still facing him. "Look at how much you've changed already. Stop while you still can, please." Noimo gestures towards Percy's tall frame and sighs when he was only greeted with silence.
After a minute or two, Percy turns around slowly and faces Noimo. Despite the monotonous tone he uses, Percy responds with meaning, "I can't just stop Noimo. I'm sorry."
Percy flashes Noimo a frown for a split second before masking his emotions again. Noimo stared at Percy in confusion until Percy had thrust an arm forward and something strong pushed Noimo backward.
He flew until his back hit the top of a table, of which Percy had been laying on for the past few years. The chains lock themselves onto Noimo's limbs as he searches frantically for a way out. He shoots Percy a look of anger, confusion, and hurt.
Percy closes his eyes for a quick moment and opened them as he began to head for the crazy hag. Noimo shakes his head in disbelief, "No Percy, you can't do this."
Once he reached her, Percy grabbed her hair and yanked her into the air. She screams in pain and holds onto her hair, desperately trying to ease the pain. So high up in the air, she squirms and accidentally kicks Percy where the sun doesn't shine.
