Hey everybody, thank you so much for so many great reviews so quick I thought I'd return the favor and get the next chapter up as fast as possible. So I just wanted to say that this probably isn't going to be the best story because I'm not a very good writer, so any help or opinions you have are very much appreciated.

Thanks to…

Lioness Deity- Haha yeah I was hoping that I wasn't the only one, and I've really gotten into Perlia these last few months.

Percy Zoë Artemis fan- Thanks for all we talked about I'm sorry a lot of what you wanted won't happen…

Max Jackson Alpha wolf- I'm interested to read your fic, is it called Rangers of Persues?

EpicReads- Thanks and I promise that the chapters will get longer the first one was just the set up.

Disclaimer- I don't own Percy Jackson and the Olympians.

Chapter 2,

Please be a Dream…

3rd person POV.

It had been nearly three years since the day Thalia had joined the Hunters and not quite a year since the Titan War. Percy and Thalia haven't seen each other since the Hunter teamed up with the Campers to defend Olympus. Thalia had grown her hair to about shoulders length in recent months that went very well with her Hunter attire and tiara. Although she always had on torn black jeans and a black T-shirt under the traditional cloak. She had been faithful and loyal to Artemis and did anything she asked. She was about 5'9" and still 17 years old thanks to the immortality that came with being a hunter. Percy on the other hand was 5'11'' and 18. He had suffered through another year at Goode High and camp had just started. He's been in a "relationship" with Annabeth after he had banished Kronos with Luke's help. He was a powerful leader to almost every camper at Camp Half-blood although he probably didn't even realize it. He still had his shaggy black hair and could hardly ever be seen not wearing jeans and his camp T-shirt. Camp Half-blood had been rebuilt to nearly three times its original size and new camper join almost everyday.

Thalia's POV

I woke up feeling sick, as if some part of me was saying today was not going to be good. I got up and could just imagine how horrid I looked, I jumped out of bed brushing my hair down and headed to the near by lake. The places we camped were always beautiful. We had a small calm lake that could reflect the sky, and oak trees all around us. The wind was softly blowing and it was a warm gentle breeze that would caresses your cheek before dying down. I cleaned myself quickly, not like I was the one to care for looking prim and proper, then headed to Artemis' tent because she had asked to speak with me when I had woken. I made my way to the tent with the insignia of a softly glowing moon on it and pushed my way in. I was greeted by the fragrance of pine, causing me to shiver remembering my tree. Also the soft pelt littered ground. Artemis sat there peacefully in her twelve-year-old form meditating. Her sliver elk sat close by with its head in her lap.

"Lady Artemis? Would you like me to come back later?"

"No, your fine Thalia, after all I did ask you to meet me, did I not?" She gave me a small smile.

"Yes Malady, so what is it you need?"

"I'm leaving for that council meeting for now, and there are still many monsters that need to be eliminated. I asked Chiron to send a couple of his Campers to assist in taking them down, I shall travel with you to Central Park but then leave for Olympus."

"My Lady, I once again must plead that we can take care of these beast without the help of some idiotic Camper slowing us down." I said with a tinge of annoyance. I could easily imagine being so close to secretly kill the monster when some stupid demi-god charges out and scares it away.

"I'm sure you won't mind seeing a few of your old friends from camp, now if you wouldn't mind making sure the huntress' wont cause another 'incident' if there is a male camper with the group."

I chuckled remembering how Phoebe had hung a poor soul from a branch by his underwear.

When I informed the other hunters they all moaned and complained in response and I couldn't blame them after all I felt the same way. Then started to pack camp, it didn't take long because we do it so often, and got ready to meet the campers at Central Park two day from now.

We traveled quickly never really stopping for more then a few minutes, once we saw a small giant but decided to leave it be. When we broke for camp we were only about 3 hours away from the park. We did a quick hunt to collect a little dinner; I stayed back to prepare the camp for whatever they caught. Dinner was its usual self, filled with laughter and merriment. Then I headed back to catch some sleep.

Dreams… usually people welcome dreams but for demi-gods they're a bitch. See we can sometimes have visions of the past present and future in our sleep, and they aren't always the most welcoming images. Tonight was no different; I opened my eyes and recognized the familiar scent of strawberries. All the campers were in a circle looking down at someone, one guess who. Then Percy came and scooped me up and started carrying me back to the infirmary. My vision blurred and when it cleared I was on top of a mountain with Percy holding up the sky, Annabeth struggling against bindings, and Artemis and Zoe fighting a Titan. I was facing off against Luke tears falling down my face. Eventually I knocked him off the cliff and he fell just like last time but right before he hit the ground, it shifted again. I was brought back to the moment I took the oath of Artemis. That day was horrible I had lost both guys I liked in just a short couple of hours, but being with the hunter's was great so that made up for it. My vision blurred once again and I got a feeling that this was the last time because I had no idea where I was. It was a dark room and I could faintly make out an outline of a bed in the corner as well as some facilities to the right of that. There was something, or someone, right in front of me. It was taller then me by maybe a couple inches, I couldn't really tell because it was sitting down. I heard some footsteps approaching and suddenly a door opened and I was greeted by flaming red eyes with gold irises. That beings voice was cold and emotionless when it spoke. Every syllable it said made me flinch because it brought pictures of death and murder to mind.

"Come little hero you next battle has arrived."

The person who was in front of me let out a long sigh but stood up to leave. I could clearly see him now. His wavy hair was messy and unorthodox but that was no surprise. He was badly beaten and bruised and was covered in bloodstains. His usual happy eyes were filled with sorrow and a little hatred I think, they were a dull mirror of what they had once been. The Percy was gone and I bolted up in my bed. I had sweated like a pig in my covers so I quickly threw them off and slid my legs over the sides. I focused on slowing my breath my first thought was to cry, but that would never happen. I'm the badass Thalia Grace! I don't cry, so I prayed he was all right. He had to be all right. Please be a dream, just this once be a dream and not so crazy vision…
