Chapter 27
Percy's pov
"Percy Jackson. We meet again, hero of Olympus."
That voice. That cold and icy tone, how can I ever forget that God's forsaken voice!
I looked around for NYX but there was nothing but darkness. Of course what else should I expect from the primordial deity of night and darkness.
"It's not exactly consider meeting if you can't see each other old lady....at least up here." I shouted back not knowing what else to do. It is one of the things I am good at, rilling them up. I could feel Annabeth's gaze burning holes in me.
"It's a shame I couldn't kill you last time, sparing you turned out to be a mistake, I would have done the world a favour."
"Ah not again with this nonsense. You know we outsmarted you. Don't disguise your stupidity by calling it mercy, but what else can we expect, night is for disguised ones."
"Shut it Percy! What are you doing?!" Jason whispered furiously next to me. I noticed the three wizards glued to their places in surprise or shock I don't know.
"You never learn Percy Jackson. You have a death wish." The voice boomed in the open fields.
"Give it your best shot. I won't die without a fight." I said
"Who said anything about your death?"
As she said that all of a sudden grey smoke starts to form out of nowhere. The smoke envelopes us all and I close my eyes to stop my eyes from burning. I blinked open my eyes after a minute.
The sight in front of me was horrifying. All my friends were lying on the ground with their eyes closed. I ran over to them and shook each one of them but they were not budging!
"Guys! Guys wake up! What did you do to them NYX?! Who the hell do you think you are?! Come forth and fight me rather than hiding you coward!" I yelled out. I was at the brink of unleashing all my pent up anger on anything and everything. She took my friends, my family. How dare she! No one messes with the people I love.
"Be careful of what you speak and who you speak to. Consider this as a warning Hero. Go back where you came from. I won't say I will spare you but it will surely buy you time to say your last goodbyes." Her voice faded into the deadly silence of the night as I knelt on the ground amongst my unconscious friends cursing my fate.
"Percy."
My head snapped up when I heard that voice, Nico ran up to me and hugged me tightly saying everything will be alright. He also reassured me that they are alright and they will be back to normal by morning.
We shifted our friends to the respective rooms. Nico still did not tell me where he and Will were. And Will was still not here.
"Where were you Nico?! Where is Will?! Do you have any idea how worried we were?! Where is Will?" I exclaimed
"He went back to camp." He said dejectedly.
"What?"
"William went back to camp Percy."
"I get that, what I don't get is, why did he go back?!" I asked. Why would he go back now? Is there a problem at camp?
"It has started Percy. Attacks are taking place at camp, the gods have shut them themselves up once again. Yesterday's attack destroyed half of the camp, they needed Will there so I shadow travelled him there."
"What? Why didn't they tell me?" I asked to no-one in particular.
"Chiron wants you to focus here. He had contacted me last night via iris message and told me not to tell you anything. It was too much to take. I knew camp was under attack but couldn't do anything. A few hours earlier when Will found me I was have an IM with Chiron. Will heard us and demanded to go back since the number of injured were high. I don't know what to do Percy. Once again I feel helpless." He said. His voice was strained and I could see the tears filled in his eyes.
"Hey Nico. You are not alone in this. We are all together like a family, a very big family. Everything will be fine. I won't let any harm come to our family, trust me." I tried to reassure him but deep inside I had my doubts, will we have able to make it? NYX is powerful being and much like Gaea she wants power and revenge.
"How can you be so sure Percy?"
"Because I believe in myself and I believe in you guys. We are here for eachother. We fight till the very end."
