A Sister's Demise ✔️

Ten

...so Perci just killed her sister. Sally showed up. Annabeth showed up. How will our favourite demigoddess react?

Perci breathed in deeply, practically feeling the blood coursing it's way through Order's body. He may be a primordial, but everything bleeds.

"Tell me Order. Why must you play with my life?" Her voice was deadly calm.

"Because you're a pawn in Life's game."

"And what does that make you?" Perci said darkly, her voice gravelly.

"I am the player. I am the King."

The demigoddess scoffed and took a step forward, her ow dark, sea green eyes, bottomless and unforgiving.

Summoning a short, celestial bronze blade from her charm bracelet, Perci threw it and it lodged deeply into Order's shoulder. He grunted, forced to take a step back and tried to ripped the blade out. Even with his primordial strength, the knife had sunk so deep in his flesh, he couldn't pull it out.

Perci then lowered her stance, Riptide in her hand and two more daggers in the other. Another knife was thrown, but Order regained his senses and sliced through it midair with his sword. He pulled back his arm to take another swing, but it was quickly blocked and a dagger was jabbed into the side of his abdomen, just under his ribs.

Forgetting her sword, the demigoddess instead slammed her fist into his nose. The same silver blood that poured from Chaos, coated his lips as his mouth turned up into a sinister grin.

"You're nothing but a coward who forces everyone to do your dirty work."

"What other way is there, dearest?"

Perci yelled out and flung him away from her, disgusted. But she trailed behind him, not finished yet. The Saviour ignored her cousin calling out to her.

This asshat had it coming.

"Why do you bow down to the Gods? You have enough power to rule the world."

"I don't want to rule the world!! I don't bow down! I am not their servant!"

"Aren't you? What of the things you've been forced to do? They sat back on their thrones, watching you all like ants."

"You don't know anything!"

"No? What about your father? He never cared about you! He did nothing when you fell into Tartarus the first time! Then he equipped you for the second time instead of going himself!!"

Perci roared again and swung her sword, just missing Order's head by a fraction because he ducked.

The primordial licked his lips and batted away her second swing.

All she could hear was his taunts, the blood rushing in her ears and that voice in her head that she had ignored for so long, telling her what she should do.

"Face it, Persephone. You're a toy to him. To all the Gods!!"

"Aah!! Shut up!!!" She screamed at him, blindly slashing at the primordial, beginning to believe his words.

"Just a toy."

Chaos then cried out to her, "Perci you're not a toy. You're not a hero. You're a legend. Do not believe him. You've lost people, we all have. But you've saved so many lives. Your father loves you with all his heart. And look how many Gods visited you while were in France. They care so much about you. You're not a plaything. You're family."

"You'll never get out of here alive, my dearest." Order spat.

Perci had him on his back, Riptide pushed against his throat.

"I'll leave you here to rot and I'll kill everyone you know and love."

The demigoddess stomped her foot on his chest and he barked out another laugh, "I can't wait to rip the spine from that puny mortal you love. What was his name? Ah, yes. Richard Grayson."

The Saviour then felt the darkness she'd hidden for long, rise within her. She willed the blood in Order's body to expand and choke him. Lifting her hand, the primordial floated up.

He began to cough violently, holding his throat, as if that would ensure any kind of relief. His liquid life force began to pour from his mouth, his nose and another hateful laugh left him, "Yes! This is who you are! Who you were meant to be!! Kill me! And prove to the Gods that you are monster!! To that love of yours! To Chaos and your cousin!! Just like me!! And all the others you've slaughtered!!"

"Shut up!!"

Using her powers, Perci controlling him like a puppet, started to berate him, "The mighty Order, feel the ice in your veins," She froze his blood.

"The powerful primordial, feel the flames lick at your body," Perci used the Lady of the Hearth's gift to set him aflame.

"Stuck in place by a plain and useless demigod who is nothing but a pawn and a toy. But let me tell you." The demigoddess made him come closer, sneering at him, the look on her face was one of pure Death, "Check mate."

The primordial's face was one of utter and unrestrained terror. Like he knew he was about to die. Some sick part of her loved it and the voice told her to keep going, to torture him, to kill him.

The sound of an empty shackle hitting the ground, broke her out of the moment of vengeful killing. Horror lit up in her chest at the sight of Order, sprawled on the floor, spewing blood. Not for how he looked, but how she caused it.

She'd broken a promise.

She was a monster.

Perci looked at the Celestial Bronze sword resting in her hand and threw it away as far as she could, a roar of anguish following it. The demigoddess just looked over the terrible landscape and if she listened closely, could hear the screams and wails of those being punished.

She turned to see Diana limping closer with Chaos leaning on her for support. When the Daughter of Zeus was right in front of her, she took a step back.But the Amazon frowned, before stepping forward again, closing the gap and engulfing her cousin and Chaos in a tight hug.

You should leave me here.

Why?

Order was right. I am a monster.

Chaos blew a raspberry, "Order is a bully who needs his head shoved up his ass. Don't let yourself believe what he said, Perci. He will say anything to get what he wants, like the filthy rat he is."

The younger woman looked at her feet.

"Let us leave this place. I think we have had enough excitement for one night."

Perci snickered at Diana, "Ya think?"

This made the Amazon frown, "Yes I do."

Perci smacked her forehead and Chaos laughed, clutching her side, "Ow ow ow! Don't make me laugh. Don't make me laugh."

The Daughter of Poseidon began to laugh too, while the Amazon just watched in confusion. The Creator then linked arms with them and they vanished.
