Broken

Chapter 5

**Percy's POV**

I looked around the old shack. I wasn't bound or chained. I just couldn't remember how I had gotten here. I felt like I was halfway in a daze.

A sound of a closing door startled me out of it quickly. I looked around, suddenly feeling helpless. I didn't know why. Maybe, it was because Nico was gone. Suddenly, a hand touched my back.

"Hello, Perseus." Kelli purred. I whipped around, reaching into my pocket for Riptide, that wasn't there. Kelli held a ballpoint pen in her hand, slipping it into a pocket on her defeated cheer leading outfit she had been wearing since I had been 14. I was now 20. Kelli had worn that for 6 years.

"Give me back my sword.." I growled, and Kelli just "tsk"ed. She leaned in to bite me, when she had a sudden idea. Her eyes widened, and I looked at her in confusion. "Wha-"

"You will fall in love with me, Perseus Jackson." The daze was back. I wasn't in control. I had the sudden urge to kiss the empousi on the lips. She was.. Beautiful.

Kelli leaned down and kissed me. I didn't care, and I kissed her back quickly. Her eyes glowed mischievously, but I was to dazed- and in love- to care, much less notice.

Suddenly I pulled back. The daze gone in seconds. "What are you doing, Percy...?" She hissed through gritted teeth. She swallowed and looked at me. "You will fall in love with me forever, Perseus Jackson. My charm speak almost never wearing off."

She made the mistake of saying almost. Who cares though. I was back into my state of love. I crashed my lips to hers, and she smiled maniacally. She finally had Perseus Jackson, Savior of Olympus, to herself.

**Nico's POV**

I couldn't sleep. I was restless. I needed Percy back. I layed down on my bed, trying to close my eyes. He wanted to sleep. He figured if he slept, he would figure out where Percy was.

He ran out of his cabin, and knocked on the door to the Aphrodite cabin. Piper opened up. A small bruise on her neck was in the process of forming. I pointed to it.

"I would cover that up. Anyway. Think you could charmspeak me to sleep?" I asked. She blushed, called to Annabeth that she would be right back, and walked over to the Hades' cabin with me. I layed down again, and fell asleep as her charmspeak wash over me.

Nightmare: Third Person POV

"Oh, Percy!" A sickly sweet voice called out. Nico knew who it was immediately.

So Kelli had Percy.

He looked around. A shack. He recognized it. He had stopped there with Reyna and Hedge, when they were returning the Athena Parthenon.

"Only you, Nico di Angelo, can save Percy from his daze, from the power of charmspeak." The voice of Aphrodite. "Only. You."

End of Nightmare: Nico's POV

I had to find Percy. I grabbed and packed a bag, and ran out of the Hades' cabins. I had to save Percy.
