Altered Destinies

Shooting the Shit with Titans

Ch. 22

Percy was engulfed by a shadow and reappeared behind Ethan where he drove his blade into the back of Ethan's knee. Ethan dropped to the ground only for Percy to put a hand on his back and disappear back to his side of the bridge.

Percy looked up at the two Apollo campers, "Get down here and tie him up. I'm nowhere near done with him." He growled before kicking Ethan in the face and stopping his struggling instantly.

The two campers nodded quickly before finding some rope to tie up the son of Nemesis.

Percy walked back on the bridge until he was about a quarter of the way down before raising Anaklusmos and driving it into the ground. The blade went through the ground like butter as a huge crack formed and stretched across the width of the bridge. Percy pulled out the blade and jumped as high as he could before stomping with everything he had on the crack in the bridge as he focused on his earth shaker powers.

The bridge shook violently as the crack grew before the bridge split apart at the crack sending the Titan Army into the East River below.

Percy dropped to his knee as he tried to catch his breath before walking back to the two Apollo campers and Ethan who was now tied up and immobilized.

"Go to the infirmary." Percy said in a tone that did not leave the topic open for debate.

The two Apollo campers turned as ran off down the street before Percy looked down at the terrified son of Nemesis with a rage burning in his black and sea green eyes.

"Now Ethan, we are going to have some fun." He said in a dark voice that sent shivers running down Ethan's spine.

"I…I d..di..didn't mean to stab her. I… I was trying to stab you." Ethan stuttered out as Percy's eyes flashed with anger before he closed them and took a deep breath. He opened them again as he looked at Ethan's trembling form beneath him.

"Perhaps you could be of better use to me alive rather than dead. We shall see." Percy said in an icy tone.

Ethan nodded his head frantically before Percy put a foot on his chest and leaned down until he was only inches from Ethan's face.

"If Zoe dies, I don't care if it costs me this war. I will take my time ripping your body apart; piece by agonizing piece." Percy growled before grabbing Ethan's shirt as they were engulfed by a shadow.

Percy reappeared with the son of Nemesis in the lobby of the Plaza Hotel where a number of Apollo campers were tending the wounded. They all jumped up with weapons drawn when they saw Ethan but Percy held up a hand to stop them.

"Relax guys, Ethan here is going to be joining us until we figure out what to do with him. Michael, can you take our friend here to his own special room, preferably something uncomfortable and unpleasant?" Percy said with a glare at Ethan.

Michael nodded, "You got it Perce. We've been throwing the bloodied towels in the closet from all the injuries. Maybe the traitor can enjoy some time lying in some of the blood that's on his hands." Michael said as he grabbed Ethan roughly out of Percy's grasp and shoved him towards the other end of the room.

"Put someone on guard near the door, he cannot be allowed to escape. I have some questions to ask him later." Percy added.

Michael nodded, "She's on the second floor Perce, room 213. Will was working on her last time I was there, he said it was bad but that she'd live."

Percy nodded before running off to the stairway door and up a flight of stairs until he reached room 213. Percy opened the door to find Zoe standing in front of the bed with a glare directed at Will who had his hands up in surrender.
