NICO

The Apollo cabin was right in the middle of singing some song I wasn't paying attention to when I saw Chloe walking off by herself towards the beach. For ten minutes or so I decided she probably just wanted some time alone, but another ten minutes and she wasn't back. I decided to go find her, besides, the Apollo cabin was signing some kind of ridicules song that was giving me head-aches.

CHLOE

I felt the sharp blade against my neck, if I tried to get away he could easily kill me.
"Who are you," I said trying to stay calm.
"Oh, just some one sending you a message." He replied cooly.
"Most messages don't involve killing the person your sending the message to." I said watching the waves, being not able to turn my head to look at him.
"Im not here to kill you," He said. "Im here to tell you that if you don't come with me your Mother will be dead before tomorow evening." If I hadn't been moving before I sure wasn't now.
"Don't hurt her." I whimpered. "I'll go with you just don't hurt her." I didn't want to betray my friends but I couldn't let them just kill my Mom!
"Very good," He said. "Now get up. Slowly." Slowly I stood up, him with me, he must have been kneeling.
I heard him start whispering something but it didn't sound english and suddenly there was a green flash of light in front of me and then I was standing in front of a light green circle.
A portal! That was how he got in the camp. He must be some kind of magic user, Nico had told me some demigods had power over magic.
"Step through it now" He said pushing me towards it.
Before I could go through it There was a whizzing sound and a yell as a knife flew by my head. "Travis you idiot!" I heard someone say. "You almost hit her!"
Even tho I had almost got hit by a knife I still got the distraction I needed. I kicked the guy backwards in the knee and using my speed disarmed him and ran back a few feet.
Now I got a good look at him. He had brown hair and bright green eyes, not like Percy but like the kids from Hecates cabin, He looked my age and He was my height and not very strong looking, I probably could have taken him but I hadn't known this before.
Out of the trees ran Connor, Travis, and Nico. I had heard that the Stolls were very protective of there siblings but this was just crazy. They jumped on the boy and tied him with some rope that I was pretty sure they hadn't had before but oh well.
"You ok?" Nico said looking worried.
"Yeah im fine." I said watching the stolls tie the boy up.

The Stolls had dragged the unconscious prisoner up too the big house to be interrogated by Chiron.
When we got to the big house Nico knocked on the door and Chiron (Wearing his night cap) came to the door. "What is a matter children?" He asked confused, then seeing the expression on my face and the tied up boy he understood. "Bring him inside." He led us to a room that had a couch and some chairs in it and gestured for the Stoll's to put him on the couch, where he examined some markings on his clothes that I hadn't noticed before. "A child of Hecate," He said confirming what I thought earlier. "And a powerful one yet. This may be the boy Alabaster who led the other children of Hecate in the second Titanomachy last year..."
"What's the Second Titanomachy?" I asked Chiron.
"It was the second war between Titans and the Olympian gods," He said pulling some ambrosia out of a drawer. "It began when the Titan Kronus corrupted the last counselor of the Hermes cabin, Luke Castellan, who stole Zues' master bolt and Hades helm which Percy returned. Luke then attempted to kill Percy and escaped the camp and raised an army of monsters and demigods." He paused to feed the boy some ambrosia. "But I thought Demigods were the good guys." I said.
"Most are," he said sitting back "But some of them resented there parents for abandoning them or they resented the olympian gods for there immortal parents not getting any respect such as no cabins for the minor gods at camp, Which Percy changed that at the end of the war asking the gods to have cabins built here for the minor gods and Hades who didn't have a cabin here as he didn't have a throne on olympus." Nico tensed when Chiron mentioned his Dad. The boy groaned and started to wake up. "Connor, Travis,"Chiron said shooing the boys back. "Stay over there. Since you two knocked him out he may react negatively too you." He turned back to the boy. "Hello." Chiron said when he sat up. "My name is Chiron, and we mean you no harm." The boy looked around. Seeing me he scowled. I scowled back."What is your name child?" He asked him. "What do you think?" He snapped. "Alabaster?" Chiron asked. The boy remained silent so that was a yes. "Alabaster why were you attacking Chloe?" Still Silence. Chiron sighed. "Connor will you please go get me Drew." Chiron asked the younger boy. "Im on it!" He replied running off, I was surprised he would willingly go back in that mad house. "What do you know about my Mom?" I asked Alabaster without thinking."Where is she?" He just smirked. Nico practicly had to hold me back, I wanted to wipe that smirk off his face with a few good punches. Connor returned with a tired looking Drew. "What is it Chiron?" She asked tiredly. "I was sleeping." She saw Alabaster tied up on the couch and sighed. "What do you want to know?" She asked Chiron. "Please ask him what he knows about an army and whether he knows anything about Chloe's Mother." She walked over to the couch and sat next to it. "Hi im Drew," She said to Alabaster. "I just need to ask a few questions, you don't mind do you?" Alabaster seemed to be going into a daze. "No I don't mind at all." He told her. "How did she do that I asked Nico. "It's a Aphrodite thing, Charm speak, she can get people to do what she want's." I listened to what Drew was doing again. "Ok good," She said. "Now first I need you to tell me about the army." Alabaster looked confused for a second like he didn't know what he was doing. "The army it's for... were recruiting going to do it better...we won't lose." I think Drew was losing him. "Chiron I need to ask him other questions he's not going to tell me about the army, hes fighting me." Drew whispered to Chiron. "Very Well," He replied. "Ask him about Chloe's Mother." Drew breathed deep. "What do you know about that girls Mom?" She asked him. Alabaster looked thoughtful. "Dead by sun rise tomorow unless she joins us, at least they say that, I would say that after there finished with her they would kill them both." My heart sank. They were going to kill my mother no matter what I did. "Ok where is she at?" Drew asked him. "Not far from," He replied. "Just inside Brooklyn in a warehouse zone." Drew sat up. "Thank you for telling me this," She said snapping her fingers. "Chiron I'm going back to bed now." Alabaster started to come out of the daze. "Wha..." realizing what happened his eyes snapped open. "Charm speak!" As Drew left the room she turned and blew Alabaster a kiss. "Bye bye Al!" she said sweetly and left the room. Ugh, Aphrodite girls creep me out.
"Well what are we waiting for?" I asked Chiron. "Let's go get my Mom!"
"Chloe," Chiron said gently."It's not that easy. First we have to select a group to go."
I couldn't believe this. I had finally found out how to save my Mom and they wanted to wait! "Well i'm going right?" I asked him. "Chloe," He said even more gently, like what he was about to say was going to make me upset, which it did. "You have only been here for two weeks. It's not safe for you to go on a rescue mission especially when it's probably a trap."
"No!" I yelled, probably acting like a three year old, but I didn't care. "I am going whether you like it or not! She is my Mom!" I ran out of the house and into the Hermes cabin (thankfully nobody was in there, or they probably would have gotten yelled at) and started packing my backpack full of stuff I needed and throwing out stuff I didn't, adding two daggers and my short sword, which I had gotten quite good at using.
Nico ran into cabin panting (running was not his thing). "Chloe you can't go!" He said grabbing my arm."Oh yeah?" I said shaking him off. "Watch me." I zipped up the backpack and started walking towards the door. "It's too dangerous!" I turned towards him. "You see that sun coming up?" I said pointing out the window. "I got that much time to save her, and the enemy is not going to wait for us to get a rescue party ready!" I turned back towards the door opening it. "Well if I can't stop you can I come with you?" He asked before I went out. I turned around to look at him. He was watching me with his almost golden eyes. For the first time that morning I smiled, a small one but it was still a smile. "Let's go then."
