"How do we manage to get out here? These stupid monsters keep coming back to life even after we kill them!" Thalia yelled across the commotion.

"We can't, we are stuck here. We have to escape like the same way we did for the past three days!" Percy yelled back to Thalia.

"I'm sick of that." Annabeth murmured beside Percy.

"You're the wise girl. Aren't you supposed to have any ideas for us to get rid of this stupid monster?" Percy shot back and Annabeth glared at him as they ducked between few trees.

"Where are the gods when we need them?" Thalia screamed at the sky as lightning whipped across it. It started to pour even harder than before.

"Great going Thalia," Percy yelled as he stopped running and turned around to face the monster, causing me to halt along with him.

"Can't Nico do anything? He shadow-traveled before, can't he do it again?" Jason yelled across the woods. He, himself was running on the other side of the forest with Hazel by his side. Good thing Piper had to stay behind with her siblings, back in the camp.

"No we can't let Nico do that once again, he particularly will vanish if we make him do it once more." Hazel said once I and Percy reached close enough to hear her. The stupid monster followed us. We heard Thalia and Annabeth yelling to each while fighting another double headed monster at their own side. Percy seemed distracted as he kept looking towards Annabeth and Thalia. The monster roared and that caught Percy's attention and new anger gleamed in his eyes.

Jason and Hazel were caught in their own battle against a purple colored monster and were fighting for their life. Suddenly seeing Hazel in danger like that, shadow-traveling seemed quite a good idea.

"Percy we should run." I whispered panicked as the monster stomped towards our way. If we were to die now, no one would even consider searching for our bodies in an abandoned forest.

"I'm tired and I don't think I have the energy anymore. I am tired of running." Percy said with cold anger. He was right. All we have been doing is running. The gods aren't also being very friendly to reply to our needs.

"Percy I know you're angry but think it with a cool mind. We can't defeat that those monsters without the gods power and they clearly aren't answering us." I reasoned with him.

We were told to come here by Chiron who said something about natural disasters occurring and people getting hurt by some moving mountain which mortals spotted on this island. (Don't know what the mortals saw the monsters as.)

"Percy duck!" Annabeth yelled as she ran towards our direction after Thalia did a lighting blow in that monster's faces and it dissolved into sand. The monster near us ripped out a tree from its root and threw it towards Percy who was standing six meters away from me. Thank the gods; Percy managed to get out of the way before he became a flat pancake. I grabbed his shirt and started to run, dragging him along with me, as Thalia and Annabeth followed my lead.

"Nico stop! Nico!" Percy yelled as Thalia came in begrudging, facing the monster behind us and Annabeth urging her to move on. If I were to control one the other would leap for them to get killed.

"I'm shadow-traveling and I want everyone close by. Hold hands!" I ordered, yelling loud enough for everyone to listen. But of course no one listened to me. Hazel gave me the stare that stated if I even thought about that I would get killed. Even Percy looked ready to kill me.

I had made up my mind; we had to get back to the camp. I tried to do that twice by the time we reached to this island but for some damn reason it never worked. I prayed to my dad, for his guidance and help as I closed my eyes, willing very badly to bring with me only those who I wanted to come.

It really was tiring. The shadows came reaching for me as I dropped to my knees and the world went black.
