"Percy..." a voice called out to me from the darkness. The voice was familiar.

Why do I know it? Where from?

"Percy...!"

I knew I was still unconscious, barely recalling the events that lead up to me being in such a state. My head was spinning, even in the darkness. I was floating, body feeling light and weak.

"Percy, what's wrong? Your emotions are flooding through to me. Percy?"

I finally recognised the voice. It was that of somebody I hadn't heard from in a long time.

"Loki?" I thought, my voice projecting through the vast empty space.

"Indeed. It has been a while, has it not?" Loki's voice was soothing, something I needed to hear amidst all the recent chaos. The voice of an old friend.

"Mmm..." I hummed, already beginning to feel less tense. "But how am I talking to you? Am I going crazy?"

Loki laughed loudly, his voice reverberating around inside my head.

"No, Percy. Do you recall those runes I gave you a while back? Well this is that eventual telepathy I mentioned."

"Oh." I could find very little else to say. Since the last time I had seen Loki, everything had gone to hell. I couldn't help but feel slightly bitter that Loki hadn't been there for me at the time. "Why only now?"

"Your strong emotions must have activated it. What is going on over there?" I couldn't actually see Loki, but I could hear the Asgardian Prince's voice loud and clear.

Suddenly all thought of comfort disappeared.

"I'm being hunted." I mumbled unintelligibly. I explained the situation so quietly that Loki barely managed to hear, but he caught the gist of it.

"Where are you?" Loki demanded.

"I don't know. I'm positive Thor wouldn't have left me stranded dying in a graveyard... well, 98% sure."

"Thor? You're with Thor?" Loki sounded incredulous, as if this fact did little to reassure him.

"Yes. Although I'm not dead, so he can't be doing too bad if a job. Maybe he called somebody."

Loki sighed.

There was a moment of silence and then Loki began to speak again. "Hey, Perce-" he cut himself off with a harsh cry.

"Loki?" There was nothing. "Loki? Loki, what's wrong? Are you okay?"

I heard nothing but the occasional cry of pain and then eerie silence.

"Loki?"

There was a cornered sounding growl and then Loki's presence disappeared completely from my mind.

"Loki? Loki! What happened!?"

Wake up.

Need to wake up.

Loki needs help. I need to find him!

But I couldn't.

I wasn't well enough to wake up.

Gods, there was never a time when I wished I could heal faster.

It was far too long before I woke up. Painfully long minutes ticked by in silence. Minutes became hours. Hours became days.

And finally, I awoke.

I stared blearily up at both familiar and unfamiliar faces staring down at me, various emotions engraved on their features.

"Perseus!" A blonde man cried happily. "You aren't dead!" I winced at the loud noise. It was something I wasn't used to.

"Shhh! He only just woke up." Another blonde scolded.

There was another blonde person in the room too, stress and relief on their face.

"Too much yellow..." I groaned and rolled over weakly. Somebody in the corner snorted.

After that the scolding voice, which I quickly remembered belonged to Will cleared everybody else out, and I was fed ambrosia and nectar and left to rest. While Will waited for me to drift to sleep he told me of the things I'd missed while I was unconscious.

The next time I woke I was weak and sore beyond belief. Godly food helped me feel a little better, but in my present state I couldn't be fed too much.

I learnt that there were three other people here as well, Norse demigods Magnus Chase, Alex Fierro and Samirah al-Abbas.

No, four. It was a little hard to forget the talking sword dubbed 'Jack'.

Not long after waking up and being introduced to everyone, my mental discussion with Loki came to mind and I shot up in bed, causing a hammering pain- not unlike being hungover- to begin in my brain.

Still, I ignored it, pushing back the covers and dodging under Will's attempts at intervening.

"Stop it, Will! I'm fine!" I growled, trying not to wince and ruin my point.

"You're not fine! Look at you!" Will fussed. "Perseus Jackson get your ass back in that bed."

"No." I shoved passed Will and out into the hallway. I had no idea where I was. Thankfully, the house was small and I found my way out quickly.

The environment told me they had taken up residence in a woodsy area.

A demigod with green hair came to greet me until they heard Will's shouting for me to come back, when they turned to restrain me instead.

It was at that moment I felt a swell of emotion so strong, my vision blanked and I stumbled over my own feet, tumbling forwards into Alex's arms, unconscious.

Loki.

This emotion isn't mine. Its Loki's.

Alex handed the limp Percy off to Will. His head rolled back against Will's shoulder and the son of Apollo sighed.

"Gods damned idiot." He muttered.

There was a rustling in the bushes that lined the clearing that sent Jack into an alarm mode. Yelling all kinds of things to get everybody in like a 5 mile radius to notice.

Magnus took off through the bushes, chasing after the intruder, silently kicking himself for not noticing it sooner.

Alex too gave chase, shifting into a cheetah and taking off, Sam wasn't presently here due to being on a supply run and Thor was only he knew where.

There was the sound of a helicopter or something similar taking off in the distance and not long after the two boys came back dragging their feet and hanging their heads in shame. They'd failed to catch the perpetrator.

However, all that was on the mind of the one that got away was;

Fury needs to see this...

Okay, so as you can see I'll continue writing in 1st POV. That means chapters will take a little longer than normal because I write everything in 3rd POV and then go back through, changing everything to 1st POV. (I write better in 3rd). So if you see any 3rd POV errors please point them out 😁👍 also I haven't written in 1st POV for years, so give me a bit to get back into the swing of it.

I was also going to update last night but I kind of got caught on my phone when I was supposed to be sleeping so it got confiscated and then I had school so... s o r r y.

Peace,
