The tortured hero

chap 5

PERCY POINT OF VIEW

---------------------------------------------- Polybotes took out a blood red case and opened it up. The stuff inside made me want to toss the food had for dinner. There were several daggers all different sizes, all stained crimson, a whip with spikes going up the whole whole side which looks like it was made to tear up your skin, a jar of poison, and a vial of dark water. everything made my skin crawl accept for the water, that looked oddly familiar. Polybotes must be stupid. I'm the son of the sea god. water is my friend. "I bet your wondering about the water." he said as if reading my mind." this water is from the Styx. since it's not in the underworld it won't give you your Achilles heel back, but a couple of drops in the many cuts your going to have soon, and your either going to wish your dead, or stop the pain and join us." He must of known I would already choose death, because he got out the sharpest dagger he had, dipped it in the poison, and before I could even react, stabbed me right in the thigh. Pain shot up my leg like a torpedo, spreading all over my body. I scrunched up my face and bit my lip, not giving him the satisfaction of me screaming. that's when he poured in the Styx water. I couldn't help it. It felt ten times worse than gorgons blood. I screamed a blood curling scream that I'm pretty sure china could hear. He just laughed at my pain and continued. soon I had gashes all over my body, green from the poison, and steaming from the water. I couldn't help it. I passed out from pain. that's when I dreamed about annabeth. She was standing there watching me with tears streaming down her face. She must have been asleep for a while because she saw everything. "Percy, she whispered. "Annabeth, get out of here he's going to wake me up soon." were are you?" She said. "I don't know. GROVER! empathy link! he might know ask him!" Her tearful face instantly brightened. my vision started to get blurry. polybotes was using water to revive me. "Annabeth, listen quickly, I'm waking up. I love you. I always will. please, come quickly." and with that, I woke up, soaking wet and staring at the dirty face of Gaea.

chap 6

ANNABETH POINT OF VIEW

----------------------------------------------I awoke to hazel and piper staring over me, concern on their faces. I stood up and bolted out of my cabin on the ship, completely ignoring my friends. I had to contact Grover. I went up deck and found Leo steering the ship with his wii remotes. "sup." he said. "Leo, can you give me a drachma and misting bottle from your tool belt?" "Ya, sure. why?" he asked, handing them to me. "Grover." I breathed. He looked confused until his face split into a big smile. Knowing that he understood I took out the spray bottle and told Leo to keep squirting until I'm done talking. I took out the drachma. "Oh Iris Goddess of the Rainbow, please show me Grover Underwood, Camp HalfBlood." an image of Grover showed up, nervously munching tin cans. "Annabeth, Leo, did you find percy!" he asked. I was about to answer when his face disappeared and gaea's replaced it

Chap 7

PERCY POINT OF VIEW

----------------------------------------------

"Gaea", I snarled. "Hello Perseus jackson. long time no see." She said, walking circles around me. "As you already know, I sent my son to camp half blood to capture you and make you join us. Since you declined, I'm going to make your life a living Tartarus, but before that we have some business to do." She smiled. The way she smiled made me uneasy. Just than an iris message appeared with Annabeth and Leo standing there. She jumped back, surprise clearly etched into her face. "Gaea?" "PERCY!" she screamed. "Hey wise girl," I said weakly. "ahh daughter of Athena," Gaea said. "I have been expecting you.
