Hey guys! So I'm updating early because I am aggravated and writing takes away my anger, and it also helps me fall asleep oddly enough. Slythe doesn't know I'm writing this early so don't tell her yet hehe. Anywho on with the show

24 hours. That's how many hours were left until the full moon, that's how many hours Kyiko had left to live. Apparently Nico and Percy knew something Thalia and Artemis didn't however, because instead of wearing a hole in the blue carpet of the Poseidon dorm, Percy looked calm and almost giddy. Finally unable to take the silence, Thalia snapped.

"What the hell are you both hiding!?" She glared at them and thunder rolled in the distance ominously. Artemis looked up startled but Percy and Nico didn't even react as Nico sighed. Artemis watched him closely, the bags he normally had under his eyes were darker since Kyiko disappeared and his black hair fall into his eyes. He looked like he needed a haircut, but Artemis remembered that he had promised Kyiko he would let it grow a little.

"What container is big enough to contain the ocean, Thalia?" He finally asked, and Artemis looked away from him to study Thalia, as said girl thought about what Nico had asked. Artemis didn't know Thalia as well as the others did, so she had to rely on her instincts to get a trace of what she was thinking. The daughter of Zeus had black hair that was cut to her ears with blue tips. She had a smatter of freckles across her face, which Artemis knew was from being in the sun so often(a result of being a hunter), and a few scars that littered her arms. All in all, paired with the electric blue eyes, Thalia was beautiful as well as intimidating.

"There's no container that big. But what does that-Oh." A look of understanding dawned Thalia's face and Artemis narrowed her eyebrows, hating being left out of the look.

"Hooray, you all got it. But I'm still left in the shadows. What in the name of the Gods is going on?" All eyes whipped towards Artemis as Nico immediately went quiet and Percy started talking.

"Nothing can hold the ocean, not a box, or a jar. Not even chains can hold back the ocean's wrath." Artemis's eyes lit up as she suddenly remembered a part of the prophecy: Destruction shall rise, From the Daughter of the Sea.

"Nothing can stop it's wrath." Artemis echoed quietly, as Thalia gave her a look Artemis could not interpret but didn't have time to think about as the door flew open and crashed into the wall decorated with waves and fish. Everyone was up in an instant, their hands reaching for their various weapons that lay scattered around the room, only stopping when they saw the blinding white smile and the blonde hair that Will had obviously inherited from his father, Apollo. "Will what-" Artemis started but stopped at the look he threw her as he rushed to explain

"You all are needed in the war room. Mars is bright tonight." At the last words he threw Thalia, Nico, and Percy a look and telling by the way their faces went pale, something was horribly, terribly wrong.

L-I-N-E B-R-E-A-K

When they got to the war room silence greeted them. Not one person said a word as they walked in and took their seats. The only thing that showed that they knew of their arrival was the confused glance they threw Artemis as she was not the head of a cabin.

"Since everyone is now here, although late" Zeus threw a scathing look to Percy and Nico as he said this before he continued "We will discuss our course of action. As you all know, our way of life has been threatened. It has been proposed that we strike before they can. And by strike, I mean decimate their hideout before they even know what hit them." Zeus started to say more but Percy suddenly stood up and slammed his hand onto the table, his eyes growing murky.

"I'm sorry, but did you say decimate their camp?" Percy hissed, and almost everyone visibly flinched. "Because, if you did have you forgotten Uncle that my sister is within their grasp?" From the look on Zeus' face he did not forget and Percy obviously saw that as he growled something and would have lunged across the table had his father not firmly placed his hand on Percy's shoulder and whispered something into his ear that made Percy sit down.

"What Percy is trying to say, brother, is that it would be unwise to unleash an attack at this time. They were able to get in undetected and take one of the best fighters in the lower level, what makes you think they will not do it again as an act of vengeance? And besides, you know what happens tomorrow." Poseidon gave Zeus a small look and Zeus swallowed before grumbling.

"Fine, we will not attack. But be on guard at all time. Dismissed!" He barked, his beard sparking with anger. Everyone immediately rose to their feet and filed out of the room, the only people staying behind were the teachers. As the door closed behind her, and Artemis found her friends, she couldn't help but feel something cold slip down her back. Something wasn't right, and she turned feeling as if someone was staring at her. When she looked, no one was there but she could have sworn she saw something red.

L-I-N-E B-R-E-A-K WHAT'S THAT SPELL? LINE BREAK!

There were 17 hours left. Kyiko smiled humorlessly, showing her busted lip and her chipped front tooth. Bruises and cuts decorated her body, as did dried and fresh blood. Her hair was dirty, haven't been washed since she was kidnapped. Her once bright eyes were a dull and murky green. She stared forward and humming without reason, knowing that by the position of the moon that it was almost 12 am. They would gather to attack at 8, but by then her move would already have been made. It was all a chess game, and there was about to be a checkmate.

Done at laaaast! Hope you guys like it, and thanks for all the reviews! I'm still posting Friday, but Slythe is probably going to want to type the chapter so you know there is going to be a lot of blood and gore, especially since that's going to be the big battle of Hogwarts-Erm Olympic Towers Academy! Hehe. Thanks again guys, love you all! Hugs and Tickles!
