Chapter μ

The kids were beaten and bloody, but they wouldn't give up. Never. A girl stumbled, but her boyfriend catched her and urged her to run faster. The kids were tired and hungry, but they wouldn't give up. Never. The boy leading the group stopped. He had heard something. Suddenly a scream rung through the air. The kids locked eyes, and even if they were messy and thirsty, they wouldn't let someone else get hurt. Never. So they run as fast as they could. In an alley they came to a stop. A girl laid on the ground, trying to scramble away from a man with a long sword. Both weren't mortal. Without hesitation, the leader of the little group pulled out his own sword and charged at the stranger, his friends following. At the sight if the demigods, the guy with the sword retreated and disappeared in a cloud of smoke. The girl turned around. She had dark brown hair. "You saved my life. Thank you." A blond boy stepped out of the group. "No problem, but what are you doing out here alone?" She sighed. "I am on a mission, but that doesn't matter now. Where I come from we have a rule. If someone safes your life, ask them to join the army." "Army?" The girl nodded. "Are you the leader?" The boy shook his head, and another spoke up, he had black hair and sea green eyes. "We don't have a lea-" A beautiful girl interrupted him. "That's nonsense. You are the leader. Live with it." The boy smiled. "Fine. But the blue cookies are still mine." The girl chuckled. "Of course." The strange girl cleared her throat. "I am Kaya. Just thought you should know that." "Jason." Introduced the blond boy himself. Another blond boy said his name was Will, the beautiful girl was named Piper, a girl with a tiara was Thalia, and a boy with dark hair was Nico. The leader introduced himself as Percy. Kaya nodded. "I will call the leader of our Army, and than we can explain everything, and if you want, you can join the Chaos army."

Piper POV:

I and Reyna had become good friends after the hole kill-the-evil-eath-goddess-who-wants-to-distroy-earth-and-that-makes-no-sense-because-she-would-distroy-herself thingy. (the name was Percy's idea.) "So, how is Camp Jupiter?" Reyna smiled. "Good, but you have some explaining to to. Where were you?" Jason sighed. "Well, it all started... and then we saved this girl, Kaya, and she brought us to Chaos, who offered us a position in his army. We accepted and became his warriors." Reyna looked deep in thoughts. "Is Percy with you?"
"He came with us to earth, but he went on a quest with Annabeth, Luke and Clarisse. Seems like he forgave Annabeth." I grinned. "Oh, he has. They had a very, umm, heated moment." Jason raised an eyebrow. "And you know that why?" I rolled my eyes. "Daughter of Aphrodite here." He blushed. "Oh, yeah sure." I laughed. "Hey Reyna, I though-" I stopped as I saw what Reyna was holding. "What is that?" She just shook her head. "I-I don't know. It just appeared out of nowhere." Jason took the strange device out of Reyna's hand. "Is that a laptop?" He sounded surprised. Demigods and electric weren't the best friends. "There is a note." He carefully opened the little paper, and his fist clenched as his eyes scanned the sheet of paper. "What does it say?" Jason cleared his throat and read in a tight voice, "For all those who still think that Omega, or as you know him, Perseus Jackson, isn't a broken shell of a demigod." My eyes widened. Who would write something like that, and why. Reyna looked shocked, but managed to choke out, "It's Percy, not Perseus." I laughed nervously at her comment. That was exactly what Percy would say. "Jason, what is on the laptop?" With trembling fingers, he opened the it and turned the screen to us. I had to stop myself from screaming at what I saw. Percy and Annabeth were both chained in a dark cell. Annabeth's hair was bloody and dirty, and her clothes torn. She had puffy eyes, and her ankle looked broken. She had a cut in her left arm, showing her bone. Her limps were shackled, so she had to stand, back against the stone wall. I looked over at Jason and Reyna. They both were pale, and Reyna looked like she was going to puke. I turned my view back on the screen showing my two friends. Percy looked almost dead. He laid on his stomach, eyes closed, and blood seeping through his shirt, or what was left from it. His back was covered in whip marks. His left hand looked like it was twisted a little too much, and in his hands and feet were little holes, like someone put nails through them. In the middle of the room was a pole with four chains attached to it. Two going to Percy's legs, and two to his arms, allowing him to move a little, but not far enough to reach Annabeth. Next to the door stood a table with things I couldn't, and didn't want to name. Suddenly I realised that I was watching a video. "When was this video taken?" My voice wavered. Jason gulped. "I-I w-would say in T-tartarus." He shivered at the word. "That would explain why they never wanted to talk about their time there." I nodded, but the door of the cell opening cought my attention. I realised who enters the cell immediately. He had a human body, bigger than an average man and his face was a swirl of black and purple, his clothes decorated with faces of tortured souls. Tartarus. He chuckled at the sight of his two prisoners and Percy wimphered quietly, while Annabeth shrunk further into the wall. He turned to Annabeth. "Don't worry, child. I am not here for you." His eyes landed on Percy. "I am here for him." Annabeth began to struggle in her chains. "No! Please, take me, but let him alone. You csn see in what condition he is." Tartarus walked forward Percy, who tried to retreat back, but he hadn't had the strength to push himself up. "I am sorry Ms. Chase, but Mr. Jackson and I made a deal. Less for you, more for him." Percy groaned and lifted his head. "Y-you promised you w-wouldn't tell her." He coughed, and red stained his lips. The pit smirked. "I didn't swear it on the river Styx. That was your mistake." Percy let his head sink on the ground in defeat and closed his eyes again. Annabeth had tears running down her face. "Oh, Seaweed brain. You stupid, loyal Seaweed brain. Do you ever think about yourself?" He smiled slightly, but the blood on his chin made it look like a grimace. "As long as you're okay, I am okay." Tartarus grinned. "We will see about that." He unchained the son of Poseidon and grabbed him by his hair. Anger burned inside me. How dare someone do that to him? Percy gasped as his head was hit against the wall. Annabeth screamed and Tartarus grinned at her, banging Percys head against the wall again. Tears ran down his face, and his head made contact with the stone wall again and again. I felt tears running down my own cheek. The primordial flinged Percy aside, and I heard bones crack as he landed. This time, Percy screamed. It was short and full of pain. Mentally and physically. I cried and leaned myself on Jason, who cried himself, seeing his cousin in so much pain. I watched as Tartarus approached Percy. The demigod tried to scramble away, but he was stopped as his torturer stepped on his leg, braking it. Percy wimphered, the little amount of strength he had left, gone. He laid limp, staring at Tartarus with fearful eyes, but I also saw the determination and the hatred in those sea green eyes. "You know Jackson, I wanted to mark you since the day you and your little girlfriend came, but I never found the right time, but I think now is the perfect moment to do so, don't you agree?" Percy spat out blood. "I usually don't agree with psychos who are wearing pyjamas." I grinned. Good to know that Percy was still his old self. My grin melted from my face as I saw what Tartarus took from a table near the door. A brand. A 'T' for Tartarus. Percy's eyes widened and he backed away from him as much as he could. "N-no." Fear was evident in his voice. Tartarus laughed, inspecting the iron hot brand. "This will remember you that you can never escape me. Never." He grabbed Percys shoulder and turned him on his stomach, putting a foot on his back. The son of Poseidon struggled under him, but Tartarus was too strong. "You are mine." With that, he pushed the brand on Percy's right shoulder blade, making him scream. His screams mixed with Annabeth's. My eyes were glued to the scene infront of me. Percy was trashing around, trying to escape the pain, but after some time he went limp and laid there, wimphering and crying. Tartarus knelt next to him and traced the burned lines on his shoulder. Percy grittened his teeth, but a muffled scream tore through his lips, and his back arched. "I told you so Jackson. You are mine", he whispered, pressing Percy's head against the ground. Annabeth was a crying and screaming mess. "Stop it! Please, you are killing him!" Tartarus laughed. "Oh, I am not killing him. Why would I kill my own property?" I expected Percy to tell him that he wasn't his property, but he just closed his eyes and cried silently. Annabeth was red faced. "He is not you PROPERTY. He is the most caring boyfriend and best person you can ever imagine." The pit looked down at the bloody mess infront of him. "He may be the best person I can imagine, but he is also the most broken person I can imagine."
The screen went black. I looked at Reyna and Jason. "W-what are we doing now?" Reyna had a grim expression. "We will carry on like before. This video just showed us what we already knew. Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase are the strongest demigods alive. We will support them, and fight for them 'till the end."
