Omigods! I got SO many nice reviews this morning! You are all so AWESOME! Thank you 4 reading this story! (BTW: I will do my famous disclaimer after! Hehe, Don't worry! Luke is fine!)

Riley's POV:

I stood in between Thalia and Jesse. Me and Thalia chatted and asked questions about what was going on (I explained how Annabeth and Percy were hitting it off! She was SO excited!) and then Nico had to interrupt our conversation on if Unicorns exist, by saying, "You know what Unicorns are?"

"Well, duh." I answered. "Unicorns are legendary animals commonly portrayed as a white horse with a goat's beard and a long, pointed, spiraling horn sticking out of its forehead. It was first mentioned by the ancient Greeks, and is a symbol of purity and grace. It could only be captured by a virgin, and the horn was said to heal sickness and disperse poison from wells." (AN: I got this off Google. I'm not as smart as Riley!)

Nico and Jesse exchanged glances. "No, actually," Jesse drawled. "It's a fancy horse with a fork stuck in it's head." Nico and Jesse slapped each other a sloppy high-five, as Thalia and I rolled our eyes.

Jesse gave me a smile, which made me blush red. His smile grew wider as he saw my cheeks turn color, which made Thalia give me an unnerving glance. I knew what she was thinking: Riley Catcher blushing? This is something I rarely see.

I gave Jesse a glare, and said, "Keep going, Skull-Head. This is your friend we're saving! Get a move on!" Jesse's smile wavered, and he regained his Idiot Status. He nodded abruptly, and speed-walked with his brother to the door of One-Eye, One Man Factory.

Thalia turned to me. "Is there something you haven't told me, Riley?"

I shook my head, trying not to look into her blue electric eyes. She kept looking at me, and I had to get it out of my system: "I think… I have a deadly crush on Hades' fire-wielding idiotic son." Thalia sighed, but gripped my shoulder.

"Don't tell Artemis, but you're not the only one." I looked up at her big blue orbs, with wide gray eyes. "I… Think I like Nico. If you tell him, I swear on the River Styx, I'll electrify you. Is that clear?" I smiled, and nodded. Same old Thalia.

"C'mon, Riles. We cant let the boys have all the fun, now can we?" I laughed along with her, as we ran toward the building.

Jesse's POV:

The second I walked into the building, leaving the girls behind to have a 'Chat', I stubbed my toe, rammed my knee into a stone statue of a scared little girl at the age of eight, scarped my hand from stopping its fall, and banged my head into something that felt like warm flesh.

Nico yanked me backward. Thalia and Riley were back, and Thalia was staring at the statue of the little girl. She gasped at its sight, but Nico held her back. "Don't, Thalia. It's a trap. If you touch it, it signals the Cyclops." Thalia stopped abruptly, her face creased in worry. Riley tried calming her down, pulling her back to look in her eyes, whispering reassuring words. Nico looked me over, "Are you alright, Jesse?"

I shook my head, "Did I touch something? When I fell?" Nico didn't answer, but grabbed my hand and pressed it against the statue. I felt my hand burning, and clenched my teeth. Didn't Nico just explain to Thalia not to touch the statue? Why was I?

The statue glowed gold, then it turned into a living, breathing little girl. She looked startled and panicked, and let out a tiny scream. Thalia shoved me out the way, and ran to the little girl. "Are you hurt? Come here, sweetie, I won't hurt you." The girl ran into her arms, and hugged her fiercely. The little girl cried hysterically, and Thalia hushed her. She kissed her hand, and brought it to the girl's forehead. She whispered, "To Artemis and the Hunters." The girl shimmered in silver light, and disappeared. She turned back to us. "It's a Hunter thing." Nico nodded, and stepped through the doorway that led to the factory. Riley looked scared, like a deer in front of headlights. I gave her a reassuring smile, and grabbed her hand. Riley looked surprised, then blushed, and gave my hand a squeeze. I walked beside her into the factory, with Thalia close behind.

~La la la, inside the factory!~ (Still Jesse's POV!)

The factory was the most hideous thing I'd ever seen (and that's saying something). The walls were covered in chipped red paint, or I hoped it was paint. Conveyer belts covered most of the ground, some moving and some not. Huge red structures covered the walls, like the ones that painters use to wash skyscraper windows. Big machines with bellowing flames stood alone like brooding monsters. Thalia was shaking in anticipation as we looked around, Nico comforted her. Riley squeezed my hand repeatly, as if it was showing her that she wasn't alone. It made me feel better.

I looked around, feeling stupid for not knowing what to do now. Nico shot me a glare, like, Do Something, Man!

So, I yelled, "Max? Max! Hey, Cyclops! It's Jesse Dread, the stupid son of Hades!" Thalia and Riley smiled at me. But their smiles disappeared when I heard a voice behind me whisper, "Jesse?" I turned around, still holding Riley's hand. My best friend stood behind me.

His brown hair was greasy and messy, but still seemed to stay in its usual Beiber-cut. His eyes glowed like fresh-cut grass, but… What was weird was around his black iris was a circle of brown… I shook a chill off my spine.

He also wore his tattered red-Hermes-logo shirt, and tattered jeans. "Max…?"

He smiled, but I could tell it was forced. Behind him was a huge shadow, and I saw something shine white. The white was a eye. It was a Cyclops. I let go of Riley's hand, and grabbed my sword. I twirled it, so that the pointed edge was aimed at the Cyclops' eye. I heard it growl deep in its throat, like a dog would. It pushed Max out of the way, who gladly obliged. The Cyclops zeroed in on me, and laughed stupidly. "You so small, so wimpy. How you feared by god of Olympus?" I narrowed my eyes, "What? Feared by the god of Olympus? I'm feared by…Zeus?" The Cyclops nodded, and breathed out stinky fish breath. I gagged, which made the Cyclops get a goofy-grin. "Ha, you funny. I let you go with no fight. Go home with girlies and dummies. I let you go. No fight." Riley, Nico, and Thalia exchanged glances. I nodded, and said, "Okay. Thanks, Cyclops. We'll just go…"

I walked over to Max, grabbed one of his arms, and put it on my shoulder. Nico raced over, and did the same thing. The girls walked in front of us, as we exited the One-Eye, One-Man Factory.

There was one thought on my mind: When was Max going to strike?

Woo-hoo! Max Tyler is BACKK! But… He's suppose to be a traitor! Oh no!

Please, REVIEW! (I LOVE TO READ YOUR REVEIWS!) I start school on August 10th, but I promise! Jesse Dread will live on; His story MUST be told!

Now for the disclaimer:

Me: Luke had to go back to Elysium, so I will talk with my brother, Percy! *Applause*

Percy: I was here yesterday, why am I here again?

Me: Because, people think your stupidity is funny.

Percy: That's not something you should say to the Savior of Olympus!

Me: I had to listen to the 'Talk' and watch videos about 'it', just because I made-out with Luke! I can say anything about you!

Percy: No, you can't!

Me: Percy is twenty, and still sucks his thumb! He has a teddy-bear named Heracles, because he thinks it will protect him from nightmares! He talks and drools an ocean in his sleep! He- *Percy covers mouth with hand*

Percy: ILoveLukeC does not own PJO or Unicorns. She does own Jesse, Riley, and Max.

Me: *shoves hand off* Hey, Percy…? Do you think Luke is cute?

Percy: No, I hate him.

Me: But, do you think he's cute?

Percy: I'm not gay!

Me: *rolls eyes* We don't know that, do we Thumb-Sucker? You dating Annabeth could just be fake, like on Easy A!

Percy: Who let you watch that?

Me: It was one of the movies I had to watch yesterday! You picked it out!

Percy: Oh… Well, then. Never mind.

Me: Bye! I'll update soon!

Percy: *gets up, but falls back into chair*

Me: Jeez, walk much, Ocean-Drool?

Review!
