Hurt

Percy POV:

I appeared on a beach in Miami, still shocked by what had happened. Wandering down the shore, at peace for once, I was scared to death by a voice screaming in my head...Omega! Help! We've been attacked again and we can't stop them! I sprinted into a shadow, appearing amongst chaos (no pun intended. AN).

Campers ran back and forth, fighting for their lives, while the chaos warriors fought...wait a sec...was that Kronos again!!! He sighted me and froze time on everyone, they could only watch as he smiled and made his way down to me, swinging his scythe lazily. I gave a sigh of relief, Nico was nowhere to be seen.

"Come on Kronos! You know I will beat you again! How about we call the whole thing off before it gets nasty?"

Kronos stopped five feet away, an ugly smile stretched across his face. He was planning something! My mind realised to late as he reached out and grabbed a hunter, unfreezing time as he did. I froze in shock as he brought a scythe to the girls neck. It was phoebe, second in command of the hunters of Artemis, and oldest hunter there. There was no way I could let her die.

As Kronos raised his scythe for the killing blow, my voice rang out, strong in the silence..."No! Take me! I am worth more to you than her. Take me and let her go free!" The circle of campers and warriors around us let out gasps at my offer. Kronos smiled evilly again.

"A good trade, Commander Omega. Maybe as part of the deal we can find out who you are, hmm?" He shoved a gasping phoebe to the side and advanced. I let him. Grabbing my shoulder, he forced me to my knees and chained me, while everyone was frozen in shock around us. Then I heard it.

"No! Percy!!!" The cry came from the shadows of the woods, as a dark figure ran forward in panic. Nico!

Nico POV:

No sooner had the words left my mouth, I sprinted towards the chained figure on his knees beside Kronos. My brother, Percy. I had only just found him, now I was going to lose him again.

Kronos roared in anger and ripped off his hood. Black hair, green eyes but no trouble maker smile. Kronos grinned.

"Well well, Gaia will be pleased! Now if you campers don't mind I will be off with my prize!"

Percy turned to look at me, a sad smile on his face, opening his mouth to speak just as he sank into the ground, Kronos and his army going with him. He was gone!

People began to shout, asking if it was really him, while the warriors stood in a circle, grieving quietly over their lost commander. Suddenly a boom and a bright flash of light was heard, and in front of us stood the twelve Olympians.

"Is this true?" cried Poseidon. "Was that really just my son back from the dead?"

"He's not your son!" Came an angered voice. "He's mine and has gone!" Chaos had appeared, grief written across his face. "Its your fault!" He yelled at us and waved his hands, him and the warriors disappearing from sight.
