ωμέγα (Omega)

Chapter Ε

"N-no. Please stop." The voice was barely a whisper, trembling in pain. The pain too much, the strength not enough. The throat dry from dehydration and bloody from screams. The torturer of the green eyed boy slowly twisted the blade deep impaled in the boys shoulder. He closed his eyes shut and wimphered, banging his head against the crimson stained wall, trying to block out the sickening pain. It felt like his flesh was being torn from him piece by piece. "P-please. W-what do you w-want?" Tartarus laughed a cruel laugh and pushed the dagger further into his prisoner's shoulder, reaching the bone. The boy cried out, a short, raspy and tearful scream. "I don't want anything from you." His voice was quiet, a whisper, sending shivers through Percy's body. "Did I want information from you? No. Did I ask you to join me? No. I am doing this because I haven't had this much fun since 1278 (random date). I love your screams, sea scum. I love hearing you beg." He jerked the blade through the bone, but blocked the son of Poseidon from the pain with a little magic. The demigod looked confused, but kept quiet. "I can do to you whatever I want. I told you Perseus. I will break you, until nothing then a scarred body is left." He undid the spell and the pain came back all at once. Percy's eyes shot wide open and he whizered in pain. Tears rolled down his cheeks as he screamed in agony, his shoulder feeling fried. The pain pulsed from his shoulder through his whole body. He clenched his fists and arched his back. Another scream escaped his lips and his eyes darkened, a veil of pain clouding his sea green eyes that once sparkled with sarcasm and fun. The immortal being grinned satisfied. The first piece of Percy's self shattered and Tartarus was going to shatter it all.

Piper POV:

Ok, I was so confused. First, I am hold hostage, find the lost princess, we became friends, then Tartarus brings my tortured friend and after that, a crazy Athena daughter comes rushing in, yelling at me not to end the world.

"A-Annabeth?" "Yeah, that's me. Where is Per-" She choked on her words as she saw the bloody figure of her boyfriend. "W-what happened?" "Erm, Annabeth, I don't think this is the right time..." She looked around and noticed the primordial and Seer. She blushed, raising her sword and a dagger. "Annabeth, is that Katoptris?" "Huh? Oh, yeah." She tossed me the dagger and, after making sure Percy wasn't dying, I joined one of my best friend to fight a powerful primordial. Annabeth was afraid, she trembled slightly and I couldn't blame her, after all, she has been tortured by Tartarus as well. I leaned over to her and whispered, "Where are Clarisse and Luke?" She smirked. "Just wait. Athena always has a plan." I suppressed my own smirk and turned back to my enemies, just to see Tartarus vanish in a cloud of darkness, Seer following him. I looked at Annabeth in confusion, but she looked at clueless as me. Annabeth clueless, didn't think I would see that day. "W-what?" I just shook my head. "I have no idea." Someone cleared their throat and I spun around, my dagger at the person's throat, but I lowered my weapon after seeing who stood in front of me. "You look aweful, Luke." He winced and bit his lip. "Don't wanna talk 'bout it." I raised my eyebrow, but shrugged. "Fine. Where's Clarisse?"
"Right here."
I looked at Annabeth and saw Clarisse standing beside her. Luke suddenly looked alarmed. "Percy!" Annabeth's eyes widened and she ran to her boyfriend's side. She cradled his head in her lap and force fed him Ambrosia and dripped Nectar on his wounds. After some terrifying seconds, Percy groaned and his eyes fluttered open. "Hey, Wise girl." Annabeth smiled teary. "What did I say about getting kidnapped?"
"Not to do it?"
Someone sighed. "You do realise that I am still here, right?" I chuckled slightly and turned to Arallana. Luke gasped and slowly walked up to the cage. "L-lana?" She smiled sadly at him. "Hey, Luke. Long time no see, huh?" Luke clenched his fists. "Long time no see?! You just vanished. Do you know how worried I have been? I-I..." Suddenly tears started to flow down his cheeks and he rested his head on the cold metal of her cage. Arallana's face was expressionless, but I could see the tears in her eyes. She loved him and he loved her. They were so cute together. Maybe I could call them Lukana? Or Araluke? Curse you Aphrodite. Got a bit off track. I cleared my throat. "How are we gonna get her outta there?" Annabeth looked thoughtful and as her gaze landed on Luke, her face lit up. "The prophecy! It's so obvious!
