Broken

Chapter 6

**Percy's POV**

"Percy? Where are you?" Kelli called. I didn't know why she was asking. I was pretty sure she had chained me here, so I wouldn't run away. Though, I don't know why, she was irresistible.

"In here!" I called. She skipped in, a not so happy look on her face. I raised an eyebrow at her, but she came up and smacked me. I held back tears, getting distracted by how beautiful she was.

"Perseus Jackson, look at me." She growled. I wasn't sure what I had done wrong, but I was now really scared that this whole love thing was one sided. Though, it felt wrong... I couldn't remember why.. I couldn't remember much of anything.

--HOURS BEFORE--

"Oh, Percy!" Kelli called. I stood up, and walked towards her.

"Yes, Kelli?" I replied. She gave me a hug and a kiss, and I kind of realized something. She had changed clothes, and was now wearing a short, sleeveless, black dress, that contradicted perfectly with her pale white skin. I sighed in content, but a frown appeared on my face, as I fought to remember the name Nico, and Annabeth, and the names of all my friends.

"Percy? Are you remembering your old friends?" She said old as though they weren't my friends anymore, but I nodded, and she frowned. "We can't have that can we?" I frowned a little. The daze that I had been feeling so much of, became stronger. "They aren't important. Forget them. Forget your past." And I did.

**Nico's POV**

--STILL HOURS BEFORE--

I ran out of my cabin as soon as I had woken up and packed a large amount of stuff. I ran quickly to the border of camp, holding onto my Stygian iron sword, ready to slice at anyone that got in my way. Suddenly, a hand gripped my shoulder, and another hand grabbed my sword.

"Where the Hades do you think your going, Nico?" It was Annabeth. Great.

"Why does everyone insist on using my dad's name as a curse word..." I mumbled, and then I sighed. "I know where Percy is, and I'm going to go and rescue him." I said, as I attempted to grab my sword and squirm away from Annabeth's vice grip.

"Take us with you. You need help, in case something happens." Piper said.

"I don't need help, McLean." I growled. "We have to get Percy back."

"We got the dreams to Nico. We need to be there in case you get charmspeaked." Annabeth stated calmly.

I scowled. Great, she was right. Annabeth smiled triumphantly, and I just then noticed she and Piper were already packed and ready to go.

We quickly ran out of camp, not evening bothering with a prophecy. It was time to find Percy.

--BACK TO PRESENT--

"Come on! Let us go, Kelli!" Annabeth screamed at the empousi, as we listened as Kelli scolded Percy. I finally shadow traveled out of there, and began slashing at her.

"Let him go!" I screamed at her, quickly killing her, to enraged to deal with her charmspeak. I ran up to Percy, cutting the chains that were holding him up. He fell into me.

"Wh-who?" He stuttered. I looked at him sadly, then quickly carried him up to where Annabeth and Piper where. I looked at Percy, and he looked at me curiously, and the haze started to slowly leave his eyes. "Ni-Nico?" He said, and I nodded.

"Come on. Let's get you back to camp." I held him in my arms, while Annabeth and Piper each grabbed a shoulder, and I shadow traveled us into the infirmary. I looked down at Percy, just as his weak body, slipped into unconsciousness, and his breathing slowed, to much for my liking.
