Daughter of Poseidon

Suicide

"Okay okay chill." Lucas closed his eyes and held his hands above her head. A second later, yellow light trickles down his veins in his arms, forming two orbs in his palms.

The light warmed her skin, returning some color to it.

Percy knelt down next to Nico.

"It's going to be ok man." Nico nudged his shoulder.

Percy wiped away the tears he didn't see falling down his chin, much like his blood had when- stop that, Annabeth said no more flashbacks.

Kai's eyes fluttered open revealing the most bloodshot and blue eyes he had seen before.

"Give her some space." Lucas whispered, sweat dotting his brow.

The three backed up as she sat up wildly coughing violently.

Once the coughs subsided, she noticed that she had an audience.

Her eyes focused on Nico first.

Squinting, she said, her voice raspy,
"I thought you guys forgot me."

"Never. We would never leave you behind." Lucas answered.

She seems to consider this for a second before replying.
"Who are you?" Gesturing towards Percy.

"Kai, this is your brother, Percy." Nico explains.

"Huh." Is all she had to say about that.
"How'd I get back up here?"

"I helped." Percy tells her.

"The thing with the water?" She guessed. Percy nods.

"Why didn't you do it yourself?" Lucas asks.

In response she holds up her wrists, looking away as if embarrassed.

Percy hadn't noticed, but she had these metal cuffs that looked like they had dug into her wrists painfully. The way the skin underneath was red and blistered.

"What does that have to do with your powers?" Lucas pushes.

"Geeze, I don't know, maybe they enhanced them. No stupid, they take them away, make me normal." Kai slouched against the rail and crossed her arms over her chest protectively.

"Oh." Lucas gasps.

"Who did that t-" Percy began, but Nico cut him off, shaking his head.

"Her mother. Speaking of which, how did you escape her?"

"Someone opened the door for me, like a ghost or something."

Nico and Percy exchanged worried glances.

"Monster"

"Your mother." They say at the same time.

"You think she let me out?"

"If she's as blood thirsty as I've heard, than I think she might have let you out, followed you closely to see if you'd meet up with someone, and then maybe used them to further force you into submission." Percy shrugged.

"You guys have to get out of here now." Kai says frantically, scrambling to her feet.

"Let's get in the car." Percy gets to his feet.

"Good luck." Kai mutters.
"Wait, hold up. We aren't leaving you behind, did we or did we not just say this." Percy says.

"Remove these and take them with you and I'll be fine." She holds up her arm cuffs.

Lucas places his hands on them, melting them.

"I was going to do that anyway. Now come on." Lucas pleads.
