What is this!? An update? YES! This is! I told you guys I had no idea when the next chapter was coming out, what I really meant is that I didn't know how fast the next chapter would be finished, since it was already half done when I published the last one. I feel really motivated to write. I also really enjoyed writing this chapter. And as the half done chapter sitting in my Doc Manager will tell you, I also really enjoyed the next chapter. I meant to cover more into the next day, but then I decided a dream would be nice and this chapter appeared. Have fun.Reviews!

Master (guest): This review actually made me cry. I broke down crying, because this honestly sucks, and you really are too kind. But thank you so much for reviewing, your review was a lot of the motivation behind this chapter.

Disclaimer: I'm quite sure that Mr. Riordan isn't stressing about the Greek 1 finals I have this week. I am, therefore, I'm very certain I am not Mr. Riordan.

Nolan's POV

Welcome to St. Catherine's everyone. Grab your stuff and be ready for a short walk to our hotel.

After the train stopped I stood up and grabbed my stuff from the compartment above my seat. Then I joined the rest of the group and together we exited the train. the station wasn't too crowded and after Betty-Ann asked someone for instructions on how to get to our hotel, we began to walk. It was only a five minute walk and none of us had that much luggage, so it was an easy walk. during the walk, I looked around a bit. the town itself looked kind of weathered, all the colors looked dull and nothing seemed to have any sharp edges. There was a lot of snow all over the place, even though it was summer. I saw Elisabeth shiver before stopping to pull something out of her bag. It was a black sweatshirt with aqua blue sleeves, and it had "Washington D.C." written on it in white letters. id only seen it a few times now that I thought about it, mostly when Chiron decided to let some snow into Camp for snowball fights. Finally though, we reached the hotel. The hotel was a two story white building, that looked really old and kind of falling apart. It had a large sign above the double doors in front that read "St. Catherine's Hotel & Information Center" in big, bold letters. When we stepped inside, Elisabeth grabbed some bills out of her bag and handed them to Rain, who went up to the front desk to get us checked in. I took a moment to look around. The entrance hall itself was pretty plain, the walls were a plain off-white color that were periodically interrupted by ebony framed windows. The floor was a dark wood color. I looked up and the entire place was lit by an old fashioned chandelier with actually lit candles. To top it all off, the place was practically empty and everything was covered in cobwebs. I looked toward the front desk, but I didn' see Rain. Where could she be? Then I saw her heading back over toward us.

"Alright so, unfortunately they only had three open rooms. Therefore, one of the girls have to share with two of the guys. Any volunteers?" Rain asked, sounding aggavated.

No one volunteered.

"Fine. Twyla, Elisabeth, Betty-Ann, you three are in room 49. Brian, Jakob, Carl, you three are in room 51. Nolan, Leo, you two get to share room 50 with me." Rain said.

I sighed but grabbed my bags and followed Rain to room 50. It was a plain room, two twin sized beds with olive blankets, a few gray chairs, the same off white walls as the entrance hall, a single window to the right of one of the beds, and gray carpet. There was a door in one corner that probably lead to the bathroom.

Rain took one look at the room, threw her stuff on the bed near the window, and called out, "I call this bed."

I looked at Leo and asked "Do you want the other bed?"

He shook his head "Nah, you take it. I'm more used to the floor than you."

I nodded and set my stuff on the other bed. Behind me someone yawned, causing me to yawn. I suddenly realized how utterly exhausted I was.

"I'm going to go brush my teeth before I crash guys." I said, already heading to the bathroom.

I don't remember much after that but next thing I knew I was in bed and dreaming.

(In dream)

I was in a dark room that seemed to go on forever. I could barely see anything except the tall woman in the center of the room. I knew in an instant who it was, Lady Chaos. She had her eyes closed like she was concentrating, but in an extremely peaceful way. Suddenly two knocks rang out through the room. I turned around wildly trying to figure out where it had come from, but before I could, Lady Chaos opened her eyes.

"Come in little one." she said calmly.

There was the sound of a door opening before closing again. I still couldn't see the other person in the room.

"What does your mistress say, little one?" Lady Chaos asked.

A high, soothing voice came from one corner of the room, I strained my eyes as much as I could but I couldn't see a thing, "My mistress Nefati wishes to tell you that demigods have entered the town. Nine of them, one being the one called Leo who killed your daughter Gaea. Another being the interloper from your first talk with my Mistress Nefati. My Mistress Nefati wishes to know how you would like us to deal with the problem."

"Come closer little one, that you may get my exact message to bring to your mistress."

"Yes Lady Chaos." The voice said.

Slowly a figure emerged from the shadows behind Chaos. It was a young girl who couldn't have been more than twelve. She was dressed in white robes, like one of Circe's attendants. As she stepped closer I looked carefully at her I noticed that she had startling blue eyes and light blonde hair cut into a bob cut. She had on a white headband that didn't seem to hold Any of her hair back. In all honesty, the more I looked, the more it looked like a young Elisabeth with short hair and blue eyes. When she reached the edge of the spotlight that was centered on Chaos, she stopped. I waited for her form to flicker into that of an empousae, but she didn't. I tried seeing through the mist and the darkness on the entire room lifted, showing a giant ballroom like room, but the girl's form remained solid. The girl looked me straight in the eyes and smiled at me, like she could sense my confusion.

"My Lady Chaos the demigod is trying to spy on you. What are your wishes for him?" She asked happily.

"Get rid of him for me little one."

"Yes Lady Chaos" she said and looked at me. I could feel her eyes burrowing into my soul "I'm sorry little demigod, but my lady Chaos wishes you to leave now. Come back to talk to her later. If she allows you to live, we shall see you when you enter the asylum. Please leave Now."

I bolted upright in my bed. I looked around the room, there was a little light coming through the curtained window, but the others were still asleep. I could still feel the force behind her last words. She was a charm speaker, and a much more powerful one than even Piper McLean. Which might have had a better chance of happening if she was an empousae, but her form had stayed solid when the mist on everything else lifted up. I thought about it for a few minutes before succumbing to sleep. I didn't have any more dreams that night.
