Chapter 2
Thalia had hugs going around to people who were obviously her friends. As for us well we didn't shoot anyone this time. The boy Percy smiled, "Where have you been the last year? You've got like twice as many hunters now!" She laughed, "Long, long story. I bet my adventure were more dangerous than yours, Jackson." "Complete lie." He said. "We'll see," she promised. "After this is over, you, Annabeth, and me: cheeseburgers and fries at that hotel on west 57th." He smiled again "Le Parker Meridien. You're on. And Thalia thanks." She shrugged. "Those monsters won't know what hit them. Hunters, move out!" She slapped her bracelet and Aegis spiraled to full form. I was used to it, but many campers backed away as we took off down the avenue. When we got to the Lincoln tunnel we stood there and waited, but the monsters didn't seem interested in us. Then it came to me, "Thalia." I called out. She ran up to me, "what's wrong?" I shook my head, "nothing, but I realized the monsters are avoiding us because we have a huge number, they are probably attacking the weaker spots." It was her turn to shake her head, "they would need to know who was where. It isn't possible," she said. Unless they did know I thought. We quickly killed the few monsters that attacked us. That night was horrible, but it got worse when Thalia heard about her friend Annabeth. She was upstairs in the hotel we were using as a base. So Thalia, Phoebe, and I went upstairs. As we walked down the hall Thalia talked to us about how the battle had gone so far. To be truthful I wasn't listening. I looked at Thalia, Phoebe, and the other kids in the room, and the only uninjured one was the boy Percy. Thalia nodded grimly to him and went to check on her friend on the balcony. We listened as the satyr what was his name? Oh Grover. We listened as Grover talked- the details getting worse and worse. "We lost twenty satyrs against some giants at Fort Washington, Almost half my kinsmen. River spirits drowned the giants in the end but…" Thalia shouldered he bow, "Percy, Kronos's forces are still gathering at every bridge and tunnel. And Kronos isn't the only Titan. One of my hunters spotted a huge man in golden armor mustering an army on the Jersey shore. I'm not sure who he is, but he radiates power like only a Titan or god." I stopped paying attention, but by now you know I do that a lot. Until I heard the kid Jake say, "…He went for our weakest spots, like he knew." Yes I knew it I wanted to scream, but I stayed silent. Percy seemed to think about this for a moment, "Like he had inside information, the spy." "What spy?" Thalia demanded. He explained about the silver charm, but I was too caught up in my thoughts to listen. I heard him saying something about not obsessing over it and to get some rest. "Percy," I heard Thalia say, "You to. We'll keep an eye on things. Go lie down. We need you in good shape tomorrow." He didn't even argue he just laid down and fell asleep. We immediately walked out of the room and down the elevator. The other hunters met us outside, "Alright," Thalia said, "set up a perimeter around the building, and watch out for anything that moves." We nodded and I went to help, but Thalia pulled me aside, "Lila listen if something happens to me..." "NO!" I cut in, "Nothing will happen." "But if something does," she continued, "I'm leaving you in charge even if it's just because I need to do something, but especially if I die." I shook my head, "you won't die." She smiled, "than you should have no problem agreeing." "But" I said, "I don't want to be a leader." She smiled even brighter, "Sometimes your best at something you don't want to do." I knew instantly she was referring to when I became a hunter I hadn't wanted to, but now look at me. "Alright" I consented, "Just don't die."
