AN#1: I may or may not be losing my drive here, I don't know, I just can't seem to think of anything good to write as of now, and probably the past few weeks, I don't know if its writers block or not, I probably just need a break from this fic considering I started doing other things. Don't be alarmed, I'm not giving up on this one like I did with my other stories that I had to delete. I just need a break, that's all.

AN#2: Okay I'm gonna do something that I haven't done on this story, I'm gonna reply my reader's reviews from the last chapter, so here goes.

Sparky199 – sooner than you think, here you go hope you enjoy.

Angelicat2 – Something bad I think.

Sweet little cookie – Cool? Is that some kinda Jack Frost intended pun?

Trife – No one's perfect, missing words happen all the time on FanFiction, but you get used to them anyway.

And that's all the reviews I got from the previous chapter, if any of you want some questions answered, feel free to leave those questions in with your reviews, okay.

"You know what," Clarisse told Annabeth. "This would've been a lot easier if Nico hadn't run off."

"He didn't run off," Annabeth replied. "He was called away on urgent business in the underworld."

"I wonder what's so important that he had to go," Tyson said. "Usually he just shrugs off anything to do with the underworld."

"Some souls are probably trying to escape again," Grover said. "They've been doing that a lot recently."

"Whatever it is," Percy said. "I just hope he'll be okay. Now, let's go get that dagger."

(Line Break Quote: "Ugh…what was in that cake?")

"So," Jack said, looking at Nico. "You decided to join your bro after all."

Nico nodded his head. "I can't leave you out here to square off with Pitch alone, you know that. And besides, a fury came to me last night; it said that Gaea is also working with Pitch."

"Tch," Jack clicked his tongue in annoyance. "Great just what we needed, three psychos who are all trying take over the world."

"Well at least were ahead of them now." Adam said.

"Yeah, but with Gaea and Khione, Pitch probably knows about the treasures as well." Jack said, rubbing his chin.

"Jack," Z said, putting a hand on Jack's shoulder. "Thalia will be fine, she has a crystal bow."

"I guess I'm just being paranoid."

"Whatever the case, they'll be fine." Nico reassured.

(Line Break Quote: "Hiccup already killed a Nightfury, does that count?")

"Well," Thalia said. "That went a lot easier than I thought it would."

Percy and Co. were back at the hotel. They got what they came for.

Percy looked at the dagger in his hands; he could feel its power. "I'm a little curious as to what this thing can really do."

"Well," Tyson said. "According to Legend, the Erymanthian Dagger could cut through anything, even darkness."

"A weapon like this could've been used to stop the Titans." Percy said.

"It wouldn't have worked anyway," Tyson said. "None of the gods knew how to use it; Sol Tsarina was only one who knew how to access its true power."

Percy nodded his head. "Okay," Percy said as he unfolded the map. "The Nemean Rope."

Percy looked at the map. "That's interesting." He said.

"What is it?" Annabeth asked.

"According to the map," Percy said, shaking his head. "The Nemean Rope is somewhere in Vancouver, Canada."

"Well at least it's close by." Grover said.

"Let's get some rest first," Thalia said. "We can go there first thing tomorrow."

No one objected.

'Jack,' Thalia thought to herself. 'I hope you're okay.'

(Line Break Quote: "Now they're just being mean.")

"So," Pitch said as he stared at the demigod that Gaea brought in. "I hear you bear a personal grudge against Percy Jackson."

The blonde haired boy growled at the mention of Percy's name. "If you know where he is," The boy said. "You better talk."

Pitch chuckled. "Seeking revenge are we?"

"I just want him dead!" The boy growled.

"Very well," Pitch said. "But on one condition."

"Name it I'll do anything."

Pitch looked at the boy one more time. "Oh I'm beginning to like you more and more, Luke Castellan."

(Line Break Quote: "Take the beast's pelt, it is rightfully thine.")

"We don't have much time Helios, where is Tsarina?" Jack asked.

Jack, Adam, Nico and Z had just met up Helios, but the god seemed less than likely to help.

"Oh like I'd know," Helios said in a bored tone. "Tsarina and I broke up years ago Jack, you of all gods and demigods know that right?"

"I do," Jack said. "But I just need to know where she is."

Helios sighed. "Why? Why do you want to know so badly?"

"Kosmotis Pitchiner." Nico said from behind.

"The Star General?" Helios asked.

"Yes," Jack said. "We found him; he's being controlled by a fearling and we believe…"

"That Tsarina's staff can bring him back?"

Jack only nodded his head.

Helios stared at Jack for a few minutes. "You're gonna like this I guess, Tsarina's with your old friend; Emily Jane."

(Line Break Quote: "If it's alright with you, I'll have that drink now.")

Clarisse hugged herself and growled. "Oh geez, it's freezing. I hate Canada."

"Oh please," Grover said. "You hate everything."

"Zing." Percy laughed.

"Will you shut up, I just hate being cold." Clarisse said.

"Here," Tyson said, put his jacket over Clarisse. "This'll keep you warm."

Clarisse didn't say anything; she only hugged the jacket closer to her body.

"Where's this stupid rope anyway?" Clarisse muttered.

Percy pulled out the map and studied it for a minute. "Oh great, another school."

"We'll check out the attic and basement this time," Grover said. "Annabeth you and the girls check out the inside."

"Gotcha." Annabeth said.

(Later)
"I honestly thought it would take a lot longer to get the rope," Clarisse said. "I can't believe that they just left this thing out in the open."

"It doesn't matter," Annabeth said. "As long as we have it, were good to go."

"Okay, remember what Percy told us, when we get the rope we head back to the hotel and for them." Thalia said.

"Sophie, do your thing."

Sophie nodded her head and tapped her foot on the ground.

(Later)
Percy, Grover, and Tyson finally left the school and headed back to the hotel.

"I can't believe we didn't find anything," Grover said. "I just hope the girls had better luck."

Tyson kept looking left to right.

"Something wrong Ty?" Percy asked.

"I don't know, I'm sensing this presence," Tyson looking behind him. "It feels like something's watching us."

Percy took out his pen and uncapped it. "What does it feel like? Some sort of monster?"

"No," Tyson said. "I can't really tell, but for some reason I feel scared."

"I can feel it too," Grover said. "It's like when we first saw Hades."

Percy could also feel it, and he didn't like it. "Whatever it is, if it wanted to attack us it would've done so by now. Let head just head to the hotel."

"I agree with you, let's get outta here." Grover said.

As the trio left the area, Pitch emerged from a shadow and stared at Percy and the guys as they continued walking. Behind Pitch was a horde of nightmares. "Not now. We'll get the items later."

(Line Break Quote: "Oh Hiccup, I wouldn't shoot you, unless I have to.")
Adam looked at Jack. "Who's Emily Jane?"

Jack sighed. "Like Helios said, an old friend."

"Yeah but who is she?" Nico asked.

Jack looked pleadingly at Z. "What are you looking at me like that for?"

Jack rolled his eyes. "Oh fine, Emily Jane is Mother Nature."

"That can't be," Adam said. "I thought Gaea was Mother Nature."

"No," Jack said. "Gaea is only the goddess of the earth, Emily Jane is different. Let's just say, she's the reason why there are Four Seasons, she's the one who keeps charge over the seasonal spirits. End of story let's go."

'Jack's hiding something,' Nico thought. 'Why does he always keep secrets, even from his own brother?'

(Line Break Quote: "Why is a raven like a writing desk?")

"That's odd." Percy said as he looked at the map.

"What's wrong?" Annabeth asked.

"The map," Percy said. "It's not showing the location of the next treasure."

"Maybe this isn't the Nemean Rope?" Sophie asked.

Clarisse pulled out a knife and cut the rope, the knife broke. "I think that answers your question."

"Okay so why won't the map show us the location of Jack's Frost's staff?" Grover asked.

"I'll Iris Message Chiron and try to ask why." Percy said, heading into the bathroom.

"Come on." Percy said while waiting for Chiron's image to appear.

"Chiron, finally I need to ask you about…"

"No time to talk Percy, I need you back at the camp, now!"

Peace out...
