Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Thalia's POV

Oh shit. Oh shit. Here I am face to face with the dude who just so happens to be the reason why I joined the hunters and I'm totally ready to carve up his face or you know kronos' face. Even when Grover says to prepare for monster battle I stand my ground but when those monster troops come in... oh no we're dead. We should've just gotten poisoned in my opinion.

Three empousi chicks come in and head to Percy calling him a fish. That was weird. Annabeth fights some bear-like monster things. Guess that leaves the Minotaur to me.

I charge into battle and turn that big ol' monster into golden dust, coming out of the battle with just a couple of scratches that'll heal up with some godly food. While doing my mini victory dance I spit out some gold dust and go clunk onto the floor joining the crew.

I know what you're thinking how could the great Thalia Grace not see that one coming? Well I'm sorry I like to congratulate myself on killing a beast.

Hours later when I woke up, I found myself lying on a cold metal floor (of what seemed like the bottom-most floor of a boat) with ropes wrapped around my limbs. I fumbled with them and eventually got them off. Naturally, as a battle tactic I act as though I am still asleep or whatever I was and carefully take a look at my surroundings. I discovered that Annabeth was awake. I helped her with her knots then took out the boys'. Fortunately for us, the boys woke up with a start, quickly and alert. Annabeth (as always) wanted to talk battle strategy, Grover just wanted to get the heck out of here and Percy just agreed to everything Annie said.

I took off to eavesdrop; information of the enemy always helps. I lowered my breathing and heard Luke.

"We don't have to kill them," he told someone.

"You're wrong. They know too much now. Let this be a warning for Chiron and his campers. When 5 of his best campers die he will have to ask the gods to surrender," Mystery guy said.

I soundlessly crawled back to the others.

"They're gonna kill us," I breathed.

"What!" Annabeth and Grover said.

"You heard me," I replied, annoyed. I turned over to Percy, "Perce, did you find Clarisse?"

"Behind the wall. In a closet. Tied up." Percy said, his voice monotone.

"O-kaay," I said. What's up with him? I know he doesn't like Luke but still.

"Perce, dude snap out of it. What's wrong with you?" Grover asked him.

Percy looked up and nodded in response. He looked much more alert and he led us to where Clarisse lay with rope in her mouth.

"Clarisse," Annabeth said softly, "wake up."

If Annabeth seriously thought that that would magically wake her up, she was wrong. I shook her gently until she regained consciousness and helped her stand up. Unfortunately, she could not stand up. The rope glowed with blue every time we tried.

"The prophecy. In a curse will it be bound," Annie whispered.

"What?" Percy said.

"Remember the prophecy? It's cursed rope," She said again but clearer this time. "I read about this. Only blood of a strong demigod will break the curse. Thals, you're the daughter of Zeus, King of the gods. It should be you." (a/n Don't believe this; I made it up)

"Alrighty," I said. Whipping out the blade, cutting my palm and dropping blood on the rope was no problem at all; all things were going perfectly well until the blood did not work.

"Yeah, um. I take it that that was not supposed to happen. Are you sure you're right about this?" I asked Annabeth.

"Yes, yes," she said quickly. "I read all about this. Well I guess it's Percy then."

Percy repeated what I did just seconds ago and yet it dint work.

"It's you," Grover said. "You're the last demigod we have here."

"No," Annabeth said. "I'm just a daughter of Athena." Annie put her thinking cap on and after a while she said, "It's probably Clarisse. She's the daughter of Ares- The war god. That's why they put this curse; They never thought she would cut herself."

Surprise, surprise. It worked.

"Let me go pound that blonde enemy to the ground," Clarisse said with her spear in hand.

These idiots really do make life easy for us; they left Clarisse's spear just across the room. Guess they thought she'd never be able to get it.

"You're not supposed to be here," The big man said.

We all spun around and kept our weapons out and ready. I tapped aegis incase he attacked first. Also I kinda hoped it would scare him off a bit; Aegis scares a lot of people off and I don't blame them.

"You!" Clarisse yelled. "You tied me up, you big moron. I couldn't move! Now so wont you!"

Clarisse looked like a bull: You could practically see the steam coming out of her ears and nose, her eyes were welled with anger and hunger and the man (despite how big he was) cowered away but was unable to hide from her. She dashed at him and stabbed her electric spear into his stomach. I had never seen her so prepared for battle. I could've hugged her but Annie beat me to it.

"It's good to have you back," Annabeth said.

"Yeah, well. The man wont stay unconscious for that long," Clarisse said.

"Lets just leave," Grover said, hopping on his feet.

"Are you kidding?" Percy and I said.

We looked at each other and then he motioned me to keep talking assuming that we were about to say the same thing.

"We cant leave. We've got to destroy them or atleast delay their attack on camp. It's a war. I'm sorry guys. I'm fighting them," I told them.

Percy nodded in agreement but just as he opened his mouth to say something he was cut off by a scream. Grover's scream. We had wasted so much time and we were so engrossed in planning we didnt hear Luke coming along with his minions and whipping Grover away and off the boat.

We scrambled away from the men praying not to get killed. Why does everyone have to ruin everything when it's going perfectly?

Percy's POV

Stupid. That's what I was. Stupid. I let my best friend be thrown off a boat. I plunged myself at Luke scratching my blade against his skin. I heard him let out a scream of agony. Soon the rest of them joined me.

"Control it," Annabeth whispered in my ear real softly. She was so close to me that I could feel her breather tickle my ear giving me goose bumps.

I looked at her with a vacant expression on my face. If we weren't surrounded an in the middle of a fight I'd speak but I guess my face said it all.

"The boat, Seaweed Brain," She whispered again. "Ahh!" she screamed.

One minute I turn away to kill someone and the next thing you know my favourite person is flung off the boat.

"ANNABETH!" I yelled.

"Percy!" Thalia yelled back. "What did Annabeth say to you?"

Control the boat. Yes. This was my territory. They didnt stand a chance. I willed the boat to swerve making the surprised enemy fall to the ground. Too bad for me, I didnt tell the others what I was doing so they fell over too. It was kinda funny watching Clarisse, the almighty daughter of Ares, fall face first onto the metal floor.

"Jeez Prissy," Clarisse said getting up. "A little warning next time."

"Get them with your spear. I gotta get the others," I instructed.

I made a silent prayer to my dad asking that somehow he could keep Annabeth and Grover safe. I sprinted off to the main deck and just as I was about to dive into the churning waters Luke yelled my name. Like an idiot I turned around to see what he wanted and that was my big mistake.

"Jackson," he called.

"It's over Luke," I told him. "You can't fight me."

"We'll see about that," He said.

The next thing I knew his sword was clanging against mine. We kept fighting until he cornered me by a pole. I ducked as he swiped Backbiter to rip my head off. I had no choice I climbed up the netting and he followed. My ultimate plan was to knock him off the boat. Yeah, my plans don't normally work so I don't know what I was thinking, Instead Luke pushed me off the boat and I made a big splash in the sea.

Being the Son of Poseidon I was able to breathe normally. A part of me wanted to forget about everything happening on board and go find Annabeth... and Grover. But I trusted my dad to hear my prayer and keep them safe. Besides, I couldn't leave Clarisse and Thalia to fight all those people.

I willed the boat to move in my direction. I was still under water so that Luke (if he was still up there) couldn't see me just yet. Next, I willed the water to form some sort of whirlpool and I willed that whirlpool to make me rise up so that I could climb back aboard.

Once I was up and ready to fight again, I said, "You're not gonna get rid of me that easily, Luke."

He turned around to see me. He was shocked at first but then he got his power-hungry look in his eyes back.

While he was fighting me I silently called some sea animals to shore. Then I willed the boat to move really quickly. It was better than I expected- It was able to knock Luke off the boat. I asked the animals to drag him down to the bottom hoping that now Luke would stay there.

I also asked some nice hippocampi to look for Grover and Annabeth and bring them back to the boat. I ordered the ship to sail smoothly back to shore while I went down to the other decks looking for Clarisse and Thalia.

"Hey Prissy," Clarisse said. "Nothing left to do here. I electrocuted all of them."

"Percy!" Thalia yelled. "Do you know how many times I hit my head on this metal crap?"

"Sorry?" I said weakly. Then, "Come up to the main deck."

We walked upstairs and I looked to the side of the ship to see if the hippocampi came back with my friends. Thank gods they did. I formed the same whirlpool for those two and helped them back aboard. From then on it was smooth sailing back home.

So, how was it? Review please!
