A/N Thank you for the reviews.
"When she wakes up, send her to me. I have a little... suprise for her." I heard a male voice say. I pretended to be asleep. What should I do? I opened my eyes so very slightly, it looked as if they were still closed. They had me in a dimly lit room with just two tables and a fire place, which was lit. On one table, me. On the toher table, swords. How stupid are these guys? I wasn't strapped down either. The only thing that could stop me from leaving; one gaurd. If I wanted to do this I had to be quick about it.
Quickly, I jumped off the table and onto the floor.
"Hey!" yelled the female gaurd. I reached out for a sword just as she attempted to hit me with hers, I parried it. She was good, but I was better. She was able to block my sword with her shield as I attempted to cut her in the neck, but as she did that I tripped her. As quickly as that happened, I plunged my sword through her chest. Her eyes lost their glow. I kind of felt bad, but I had to do it.
Quickly, I headed for the door.
I have to find a way out. I thought to myself as I opened the door. But there, standing in front of me, was Luke. I slashed my sword at him, but he disarmed me. I hate it when he does that!
"Now, now, Thalia." he said, pushing me back into the room I was trying to leave. "Be a good girl while we wait for The Warden."
"I will not!" I shouted "How could you Luke! I thought we were friends. Why did you leave us, leave me..." I said looking down. Luke's expression seemed to lighten. I don't know what I was feeling, sorrow, anger, part of me was happy too see Luke again.
"The gods don't care! they've never cared!" He cried.
"That's not true!" I screamed, he's got it all wrong, doesn't he?
"Oh, yeah? Prove it. Name one Half-Blood you know whose parent acually cares." He said, softer.
"Me." I said sadly "My Father cared. Or he would've let me die." My voice broke as I said this. Sometimes, I feel it's my fault Luke crossed over, I could've been there. I could've helped him.
Luke turned away. The door opened. A huge, bald man came in. I ran to the table and picked up another sword. I pointed it in his direction.
"Calm down." said the man. "We just need a little favor."
"Why would I do you a favor? Who are you anyway?" I asked. Is this guy nuts?
"I'm the warden." said the man. He started walking over to a corner, close to where Luke was standing. He picked up a small box that I didn't notice until then.
"This is why you'll do me a favor." he opened the box. He stuck his meaty hands inside and pulled out a golden thread. He pointed to small Greek letters naturally carved in the string.
"You know what this says?" He asked me.
I shook my head.
"It says Annabeth Chase."
My heart skipped a beat. I suddenly realized what that was. Let's just say, if he cut it, Annabeth will die.
"How did you get that?" I asked with an edge in my voice
"I know a guy." he said.
I looked at Luke, he looked just as shocked as I did. Although it was probably an act.
"Thalia, I didn't know." he said quickly.
"Yeah, right." I said. "Annabeth was your friend!"
"Thalia!" Luke begged. I turned away from him. I looked upon the ugly face of The Warden.
"Silence!" demended The Warden.
Luke looked downward. I'm not sure, but I think I saw tears coming from Luke.
"Luke tells me your a hunter. Is that correct?" The Warden asked.
"Maybe." I said snidely, crossing my arms and leaning against the table.
"Snip, snip." said The Warden.
I rolled my eyes. "Yes, that's right."
"Good. Then you shall destroy them. From the inside out."
"What?" I demanded. He wasn't making any since.
"Kill them, all of them, even Artemis." He said
"No! It's not even possible to kill a goddess!" I yelled.
"Oh? Have you ever heard the story about the death of Chiron?" He asked me.
"No." I said, getting the feeling he was about to waste my time woth a pointless story.
"Well, Heracles accidentally injured Chiron in battle. Zeus figured out that it was not going to get better, so, he lifted Chiron's immortality so he could die without having to live in pain forever more. I imagine He'll do the same for Artemis."
I had never heard that story before.
"But he came back, so will Artemis. What do you have against her anyway?"
"Nothing." He repiled plainly. "But we need every force on the oppisite side gone. The hunters included."
"I won't do it." I said.
"You will or Annabeth will die." He threatend, sending chills down my spine. I looked at Luke with a look of disgust on my face.
"Where is she!?" I demanded, keeping my attention on Luke.
The Warden smirked. "In the dungeon."
I can't kill Artemis, Annabeth would understand, right?
"Unless, of course, you join our side." He said.
I thought for a minute...
"Okay, I'll join your side."
A/N WHAT!? is Thalia really a traitor? Tell me what you think in your review. I've been looking at my hits, I have 33 as I rewite this chapter.
