Chapter 3

Lianna

"Nico… help me…" I said, hoping that he was able to see me through a dream. The ghost floated into my body and I felt like I was trying to eat an entire buffet by myself. I knew that I said something, but it didn't sound like my voice. Against my will, I stood up and jumped into the fire and disappeared. I felt myself dissolving and found myself in a black, empty void. There was a glass window where I could see what my human eyes could see. I pounded on the glass. "Help me! Someone! Let me out!" I yelled. My head started pounding and I doubled over. I wouldn't do that if I were you. Said a voice in my head. I collapsed onto the floor from the pain, and fainted. I was back at Camp Half Blood, and I watched as the Hades Cabin door burst open in the middle of the night. Nico raced out and headed towards the Big House. He burst through the front door, waking Chiron, who was in centaur form. "Chiron!" He yelled as he ran into the room. "What's the matter Nico?"

"It's my sister, Lianna. I- I had a dream. She was in the woods and Kronos he…" Nico trailed off. "He… he took my sister. He was a fire, or something, and- and he possessed her. A- after that she jumped into the fire and disappeared." Nico finished, his voice shaking. "The titan lord… h-he somehow knew I was watching."

"Nico," Chiron said calmly, "Go back to bed. We will talk about this in the morning." Nico started to protest but Chiron stopped him from continuing. My brother gave Chiron his death stare and walked out the door, slamming it behind him. He ran back to his cabin, not wanting to be caught by a harpy. He rushed into his cabin and grabbed a glass of water from his bed table. He walked over to a lamp and turned it on. He spilled the water next to the lamp, creating a rainbow. He grabbed a gold coin from a drawer and threw it into the rainbow. "Iris, show me Lianna Di Angelo." He said. Suddenly an image appeared inside a black, empty void, and the wall. I was lying on the floor, clutching my head and rocking back and forth. "No…" Nico whispered. "Lianna, if you can hear me, I will find you. I'm sorry. Try to control Kronos, meanwhile me, Annabeth and Percy will try to find you. I glared, and so did the me in the picture. Huh. I wonder if I speak, he will hear it. I wondered. I decided I would try it out. "Nico, I'm sorry. I'm dreaming so I don't know how I am doing this or how long it will last." A tear rolled down the cheek of both me's. "Nico," I said and my voice broke, "In case I never see you again I just want to let you know that I love you, and I'm sorry." Nico started to say something, but just then I bolted awake.

I woke up and caught the last few words of Nico's message. "-Will find you. I won't stop trying. Try to stop Kronos!" He said just before the image disappeared. I lay back down on the floor. This is the worst day ever. I thought. Suddenly, I caught something moving at the corner of my eye. I walked over to the glass window. I saw thousands of monsters. It looked like they were listening to something I, no, Kronos, was saying.

"I have taken this little girl hostage. I will use her to trick the three demigod who are searching for her. I will allow her to take control of herself to lure them in, then that's when we strike." Kronos said. The monsters nodded in agreement. "What if she warns them of your plan?" A vampire-looking thing asked. "I can still control her, even when I'm not in control. I will force her to say something else." Kronos explained. "I have to go. The three are near. Stay close in case our plan fails." He said and turned and walked up a stairway. He-I turned onto a sidewalk and saw Percy, Nico, and Annabeth, walking towards me. I-Kronos- whatever, we hid behind a wall and I felt myself back in my own body. I felt like myself again, but I could feel Kronos pushing me forward against my will. I walked up to the demigods. "Hi guys." I said calmly. I tried to lunge at Percy, but my muscles wouldn't respond so I just glared at him. I remembered what Kronos had said. He was controlling me.
