Don't even get me started on this chapter, it took me so long to write it I was beginning to think I never would. Anyway here you go. I apologies for any spelling or gammer mistakes.


By 10 o'clock the nest morning everyone in the school had found out that Sirius Black was back from the dead and staying in the castle. Even though they all knew he was innocent people were weary of him, it's not everyday people come back from the dead. After everyone had had breakfast the demigods went down to the Quidditch pitch to start setting everything up for the day's lesson. 10 minutes before the wizards were due to be there Sirius and Remus walked on to the Quidditch pitch.

"Dumbledore requested that we help oversee everything." Remus said walking over to them.

"Cool, we could teach you guys a few things about fighting with a sword and you could teach us a few things." Travis said winking and smirking at them both. Connor and Travis had both found out from Fred, George and Harry about the Marauders and that Remus and Sirius were two of them.

"I don't think there's much we could teach two kids of the god of pranks." Sirius said laughing.

"Oh and Dumbledore said that you could have a game of capture the flag tonight." Remus said only just remembering.

"Brilliant!" The demigods said suddenly a lot more interested in the day and having something to look forwards to. They finished setting up the practices dummies and organizing the armour and weapons.

"Percy you need to call Mrs O'Leary." Nico said when he saw the wizards making their way down. Percy nodded smiling and walked out of the pitch and over to the forest.

"Who's Mrs O'Leary?" Remus asked interested, Nico just smirked.

"You'll see." He shouted after Percy as an afterthought. By this point the wizards were filling on to the pitch, Nico saw Kayla stood at the back looking a bit unsure about what was going on and eyeing the practice dummies.

"Right gather round. Today we're going to show you one type of monster that we have to fight daily and a certain creature that helps us out." Annabeth said taking over form Percy while he was calling Blackjack and Mrs O'Leary. "Everyone get into the pairs you were in last time. Kayla just join anyone." Annabeth added as an afterthought before walking over to Hermione.

"Hey Kayla you can work with us." Nico said waving her over.

Sirius's POV

I watched as the demigods paired up with the students and how they immediately began to suit up in armour and attach swords to their belts.

"Are those really swords?" Remus asked next to me. I nodded.

"I believe so mate."

"But isn't that dangerous?"

"Nah, they know what they're doing." I said I'd seen the dead demigods in the Underworld sword fight even though they no longer need to.

"So what's this game of Capture the flag?" I asked the girl stood next to me, Rachel I think her name was.

"Well the spilt up into two teams and basically have to capture the other teams' flag and get it past the boundary line." She said waving her hands in the air as she explained. I nodded and looked around the pitch again. I remember when we're still in school and ridding out brooms around the sky practicing for Quidditch. I looked over to the far end of the pitch, the direction Percy had just gone to see him walking back only this time directly behind him was a huge black dog. I guess I wasn't the only person to notice as the kids were drawing their wands.

"What the hell is that!" Cho shouted taking a step back while Katie and the other demigods walked towards the creature.

"Guys I would you like you to meet my dog Mrs O'Leary the only friendly hell hound." Percy said patting the dog on the head who responded by wagging her tale on the ground and licking him.

"You brought a hell hound into the school?" Dean asked stepping forward clearly slightly amazed.

"You wanted to know what kind of monsters we face and what you'd have to face and we weren't about to bring any evil uncontrollable thing in, and Mrs O'Leary is the only friendly monster around." Travis said leaning against his sword.

The hell hound, Mrs O'Leary began running around the pitch stopping to sniff and lick everyone, when it got to Remus and me it barely paid me any attention. Clearly Remus smelled interesting.

For the next hour I watched as the demigods taught the students about sword fighting. It was amazing! These people were no older then the students they were teaching and yet in many ways they knew so much more about thing, had more experience.

Third POV

"Right now tonight we're going to have a game of capture the flag and you guys are gonna join in. SO thirteen aside, me and Clarisse are team leaders, just go with your partner." Annabeth said after everyone had stopped fighting and had their attention on her.

Red Team: Clarisse took Ginny, Silena and Luna, Katie and Cho, Beckendorf and Romilda, Pollux and Neville, Connor and George and Padma.

Blue Team: Annabeth took, Hermione, Percy and Harry, Nico and Ron, Will and Dean, Travis and Fred, Thalia and Parvati, Grover and Kayla.

"Everyone meet in the hall after dinner tonight." Percy shouted as everyone began moving and splitting up.

-Great Hall after dinner-

Thaila's POV

I walked into the great hall, everyone from camp where already there and getting ready while the wizards just looked at them putting on armour more slowly. I saw Percy and Annabeth discussing something probably the best plan of action. I walked over to Nico who was helping Kayla fasten some armour.

"Hey death boy." I said standing next to him checking my bow and quiver.

"Pine cone face." Nico nodded at me.

"Pine cone face?" Kayla asked confused. Nico laughed while I sighed.

"I use to be a tree, a pine tree to be exact. I was dying and my dad took pity on me and turned me into a tree and until 4 years ago I was still that tree." I said. Remembering that time when everything was blank and still is. I guess I must have zoned out because Nico nudged me in the ribs. I saw Kayla nodding like this wasn't the weirdest thing she'd hear today, it's probably not I reminded myself.

"Red team over here!" Clarisse shouted from a table over to the left.

"Blue team over here!" Annabeth shouted from a table over to the right.

Nico, Kayla and I made our way to the right where Percy and Annabeth had laid out a map of the forest on the table. From what I could see there were lots of small clearings dotted everywhere, the largest one was towards the back and labelled 'Spiders Caves'. Judging from Annabeth's expression we weren't putting the flag there.

"There." Percy said pointing with his sword to a small collection of trees with a small clearing right in the middle. "We can defend it well and still see what's coming."

"Where's the boundary line?" Will asked focusing on the map.

"Here." Annabeth traced a along a dotted line faded in places.

"Who's referee?" Travis asked twisting and spinning his sword in his hands.

"Remus, Sirius and Rachel." Grover piped up.

"Everyone ready?" Rachel asked from the double doors. When we all nodded she said "You know the rules. No maiming or killing. All magical items are allowed, so in this case wizard's wands are expectable but again no killing. The dotted line on the map is the boundary line, which is the small foot path. No more than 2 people to be guarding the flag and they must be 2 meters away. First team to get the other teams flag across the boundary line wins. The game starts when you hear the conch horn. You have 10 minutes to get set up." Rachel called to the hall. We all began moving.

Walking down to the forest I saw some of the students watching from the windows.

Do people really get hurt do this?" I heard Fred ask Travis.

"Hell yeah!" Travis replied.

"Awesome!" I shook my head. Both pairs of twins where so alike it was freaky.

"Will, Dean you stay and defend the flag. Travis, Fred, Nico, Ron you take the outer perimeter and distract them, lead them away from the flag. Grover, Parvati you scot around and look for a way in, distract them if you need to. Harry, Percy you take attack, Clarisse is likely to come for you. Thalia, Hermione, Kayla and I will try and get the flag." Annabeth said pointing to us each in turn. We all nodded and began to get ready. The conch horn sounded and the game began.

I tapped my wrist and Angus formed. I took my sword out and held at the ready.

"Thalia take them around and find the weakest point in their defences. I'll try and get through." Annabeth said putting her Yankees cap on her head and shimmering into nothing.

"What- where'd she go?" Hermione asked looking around.

"She's around. Invisible." I said. "Come on, we need to find a way past their defences."

We ran forward stopping when we heard the red team coming in our direction and veering of the other side to avoid them. The game must have been going on for less than 20 minutes when we ran into Beckendorf. Romilda was still following him around and I could tell from the look on his face it was taking all his will power not to throw a jar of Greek fire at her.

I locked eyes with him a raised my sword ready to fight when a sudden chill ran though the small clearing we were standing in. The sounds of the fighting seemed more distant or slowed down. I turned to look behind, but there was nothing there but trees and darkness.

I exchanged a glace with Beckendorf with nodded at each other.

"You girls got you're wands out and ready to use?" Beckendorf asked backing up.
"Yeah." I heard Hermione say quietly, clearly understanding something was about to happen.

"Good because I think you're going to need them." I said still looking around. From the corner of my eye I saw Kayla stood with her wand in one hand and a sword in the other and she was shaking like mad. It suddenly occurred to me that she was only 14. She barely knew any magic and had just found out she was a demigod and had only had one lesson.

"Stay near me or Beckendorf." I said to her. She nodded her eyes filling with tears. I gave her a small smile, trying my best to look convincing.

"Well, well, well." A cold voice said from the shadows. "It would seem I've caught two demigods and three little witches. No wait, three demigods and two witches. A daughter of Hecate. Fascinating. Very rare." Kronos stepped into the clearing. He still had Luke's body, but it was strange this time I knew Luck was no longer in there.

"I see you didn't die then?" I asked trying to keep my voice even.

"No." He mused. "I have merely been delayed in reaching my true forum. But that does not matter now. I see I am not the only who has returned from the dead." He said his eye's examining Beckendorf who shuffled nervously. "I don't suppose you have changed your minds about what side you are one?" He asked. "It is shame, but I have no need for five of you. But you Thalia Grace, daughter of Zeus. You could become great if you join me. I could show you things you could only dream of." He said looking at me.

I felt myself being drawn to him, but then I remembered the last time this had nearly happened.

"Thanks, but I'd rather see you sent back to Tartarus in pieces so small it would take you three thousand years just to find yourself again, and even then you'll still be missing a few pieces." I said.

I think I just made him angry because he threw his sword at me, and if Beckendorf hadn't pulled me out of the way I would have speared.

"You insolent girl!" he shouted. That's when things became complicated. When Beckendorf pulled me out of the way he separated us from the Hermione, Kayla and Romilda. Hermione was on her feet with her wand ready and firing spells at Kronos. Kayla who was still shaking was trying her best to help, but she didn't seem to know any powerful spells. While Romilda was on the floor looking for her wand and screaming every two seconds.

"You get them out of here, I'll distract gold eyes." I said to Beckendorf, he didn't look happy with the plan but agreed anyway.

"OI! You missed me!" I shouted trying to get his attention. I worked, he turned to look at me giving Beckendorf and chance to get to the wizards, and all I had to do was keep him distracted. So I did the only thing that came to mind, I charged him. I slashed at his chest and swiped at this arm, it should have wounded him but every time I struck at him I hit something hard. Armour. I thought to myself, how could I forget.

I was about to swing at his chest again when his blade clashed with mine. The power of the blow sent me flying back a few feet. I felt my head connect with something hard and my sword fall out of my hand. My vision was blurry but I see Kronos walked towards me, swinging his sword through the air. I raised Angus in defences, knowing it wouldn't help but hopping it would soften the blow. I saw him raise his sword, I shut me eye's waiting for the blow.

"NOOOO!" I heard Kayla scream. I waited for the blow to come, but it never did. I opened my eyes to see faint silver white wall between me and Kronos, he was trying to smash through it but it wasn't working out to well for me. I followed the wall with my eyes to see it stopping at Kayla. I was shocked for a moment before coming to my sense.

"I wouldn't out a daughter of Hecate down as worthless so quickly if I was you." I said standing up. My legs felt like jelly and I knew I couldn't last in another round. It turns out I didn't need to because just then the other demigods broke through the trees followed by the wizards, Sirius, Remus and Rachel. I guess when Kayla had screamed she's gotten their attention. Annabeth materialized next to me holding her Yankees cap in her hand. I saw Percy break through the crowd and make it to the front, as soon as Kronos saws him an evil smile appeared on his face. Then he vanished back into the darkness.
