Okay, I just got a really kind pm and it has inspired me to write another chapter! So here it goes!

Chapter Two: Questions

1 month after last chapter

Thalia's POV

We trucked along through the woods following the shadow of that new guy, what was his name? Blake? Jake? something like that. I had a feeling that he was leading us somewhere even though he never spoke a word after the fight, of course Clarisse doesn't believe me, thinking that he is and i quote "Some crazy nutjob swinging through the trees." end quote.

"You sure this guy is trying to lead us somewhere?" Clarisse asked, "Yeah, don't ask why I think that though..i just have a feeling.." I answered, she just grunted "He might be leading us somewhere, but It's probably just to our deaths" I shrugged, "you're such a pessimist sheesh" I muttered, but sadly for me she overheard "It's called being realistic" Yeah, she was probably right but that doesn't mean I have to like it.

"Hey, where'd he go?" Clarisse said "I hav-" "Here" came the one word reply from behind us. I couldn't get a good look at him though as he has a strange black assassin's outfit that lets him blend into the shadows. But he had his hood flipped down and for the first time I could see his face, he wasn't ugly I guess, but he wasn't as handsome as Percy he had shaggy brown hair swept to the side and brown eyes, he was well muscled for an assassin (as that's what I assumed he was). Percy..sh**..i shouldn't have thought that..it's happening again..Then I blacked out

Flashback

I saw it again, Percy getting blasted off the building and hearing the sickening crunch when he hit the ground, than I saw a new image. One that was even worse than the one before..because it showed Percy defeating Kronos and then me becoming his girlfriend..and it was even worse because it showed everything I wanted..but couldn't have.

End of Flashback Still in Thalia's POV

I woke in a white marble room that Annabeth would have admired for its architecture; I was lying on a hospital like bed with Clarisse and that Drake guy sitting in a chair watching me. "Thalia you're awake!" Clarisee said with delight, Drake still looking as grim as ever. Clarisse stood by my side "You okay Sparky?" "Uhg, head..hurts.." Was my genius reply Clarisse just grinned "Yeah, she's fine"

Drake chuckled, wow emotions that's a first I thought, he noticed my expression and raised an eyebrow. "What? just because I'm an assassin means I can't have emotions" He asked. "Well, I guess not, but-"

I was interrupted when a guy that looked about 25 or older came up to me he was wearing a white sleeveless shirt and camouflage pants like he was ready for a day at boot camp, he wasn't tan but he wasn't pale either with a dirty blond buzz cut and a scar across his eye, and he had a cigar in his mouth, so he looked like the stereotypical boot camp general.

"Hey, I'm Jim son of Ares General of our small rebellion here, I'm sure you've met Drake already!" he said in a gruff voice "Yeah we met him he lead us here- "He what?!" the general exploded at Drake, but Drake kept his face calm and didn't even flinch but he raised he eyebrow at me as if to say can you belive this guy?

"I told you not to bring anymore half-bloods here!" he looked at us, "You are half-bloods right?" I nodded "Thalia, Daughter of Zeus" his eyes widened at that "Clarisse Daughter of Ares".

"You don't happen to know where the other children of the big three are? I think it was Nico, and Peter? Or something like that." "Percy" I growled "That's the one!" he said, I choose to ignore that question.

I yawned "Well, I'm tired is there a place where we can rest?" I asked wanting to get out of the conversation, Drake winced at the question, but I was too tired to really care.

Jim got a mischievous glint in his eye and I knew something bad was about to happen "You can sleep in my room" he answered, wait wait wait, what? Is he implying what I think he's implying? Does this motherfu-"Argghh!" Drake yelled and his normally calm demeanor vanished and he turned on the General and punched him right in the jaw. "You abusive son of a b****" Drake roared and picked him up by the collar with ease and started punching him in the face repeatedly, Clarisse and I just stood there in shock watching this Assassin beat the crap out of his General.

Drake dropped the General on the ground, but not after a swift hit to the back of his head, knocking him out cold. "Sorry you had to see that" Drake said wiping the blood from the General's mouth off his hands "Nobody usually understands what he means when he says that and I've seen it too many times" He said sighing. Why that abusive jerk!

"Well, thanks, I'm sorry you might get punished for that" I said, I actually felt bad for the guy as far as I could tell that General was a jerk and Drake would probably be severally punished. He just shrugged "That fat old General will have to catch me first" He said grinning; Yeah I didn't see that happening any time soon.

"You should probably go he'll be pissed when he wakes up" Drake said "where?" Clarisse asked. He just shrugged and answered "My room I guess it's the only one with a lock" Wait…after what just happened he asks that?..thats kind of suspicious "You sure we can trust you?" Clarisse questioned.

I guess she was probably thinking the same thing as me, he raised an eyebrow but that realization dawned in his eyes. "Oh, sorry yeah I get what you mean, that was probably awkward after what just happened, but I'm not going to do anything like that, I swear to the Styx" Thunder boomed. "Alright thanks for your help" Clarisse said.

He shrugged, "Anytime, but lock your doors I'll bring in the food and I'll probably have to get both of you out of here, sorry" He said sadly looking down. "It's okay, thanks again" He shrugged and lead us to our/his room. "In there, lock the door See ya in the mornin'" "Night" me and Clarisse said.

Than we fell asleep, and of course the dreams came to haunt me.

Okay, that's it for Chapter 2, it took so long I thought I posted it yesterday but apparently not Thanks to the person that pm'd me and got me to write this you know who you are! I know my chapters are pretty short they will probably be about 1000-1500 words from now on with the occasional longer chapter. Please R&R -Luke
