Yay! More hits! I love you all!

To CrazyDyslexicNerd, thanks for reviewing. BTW, thanks for the idea. I was wondering what to do with Susan and Lucy.

Read recognoscere!(Read and review in Latin)

Nico rammed himself into the barrier over and over again.

Laughter filled the room. "Nice try demigod, but you cannot break this barrier. I can't risk two of you together."

Nico looked up with and expression of pure hate. "You'll see. The campers will come. You'll be defeated."

The giant just looked amused. "Oh really? I'm so scared. See your little friend there? The one in the corner? She said that too but look what I did to her."

"You leave Thalia alone!"

The giant glared. "I will leave you now."

O.o.O.o

Nico shivered in the coldness of the dungeon. "Percy?" he called.

Percy stirred. "Yeah?" he said with a lot of effort.

"Are you OK?" Nico asked.

Percy shot him a sarcastic look. "Do I look OK to you?"

"Who's the guy beneath you?"

"Oh, he's Peter Pevensie."

Peter struggled. "Edmund?"

Nico looked puzzled. "Who's Edmund?"

"I don't know, but Peter's been moaning his name for a while now."

Percy's eyes shifted to Thalia's body. "What happened to Thalia?"

"The Giant did this. Don't worry. Annabeth will come for us." said Nico, assuring Percy. I hope.

Nico. A voice whispered. Nico. Come to me. Come. Leave Percy and Thalia.

"Did you hear that?"

"Hear what?"

"That voice. It said...some things." Nico's voice faltered at the last sentence. The voice warned him not to tell Percy what it said.

Percy looked concerned. "Hearing voices isn't a good sign." He winced. "Ouch."

Nico calmed a bit. "Must have been my imagination."

Suddenly, Percy howled in pain.

"Percy!"

The ropes were twisting again.

"NO! I won't help you! Leave me alone!" shouted Percy.

"Who are you talking to?"asked Nico.

Percy couldn't hear him. "Stop it!"

"Percy?" Nico was worried.

He will bend to our will little hero. Just as you should. Come to me. A swirling vortex of snow appeared before Nico.

Mesmerized, Nico walked toward the vortex.

"Nico don't!"

Nico whirled around. Thalia was struggling to her feet. "Don't listen to her! She's trying to get us separated."

Lies. All lies. I will help you achieve greatness. Step into the portal. Come to me.

Nico looked confused as he looked between Thalia and the vortex.

Nico. Listen to Thalia. Do it for me.

This voice was different. More familiar. "Bianca?"

Yes Nico. I'm here to guide you. Stay away from that vortex. said Bianca.

How dare you! Leave ghost! You have no business here. A form shimmered. A pale skinned girl appeared before him. She had cold eyes that seemed to bore into him. She wore a white dress the color of snow.

Thalia cursed in Greek. "Khione! I should have known."

A ghostly form appeared. It was Bianca. "Leave my brother now."

"Ha!" Khione laughed. "Do you really think you can stop me? I am a goddess and what are you? A ghost! I can destroy you with a flick of my finger."

Nico blinked. His confusion disappeared. "No. You will not hurt my sister. Serve me!" The ground cracked. Skeletons clawed their way out of the crack.

Khione smiled. "Skeletons! That's all you can do?" She raised her arms. Earthborn rose out of the earth. Wolves appeared snarling out of the snowy vortex. "I have Gaia on my side! You can't stop me."

Nico and Bianca raised their weapons.

A tear fell down Thalia's cheek when she realized that she couldn't help them.

A bit crappy I have to say. And short. Sorry about that.
