I'm putting up a chapter today because the other one wasn't very good and I figured you guys would prefer a chapter with slightly more substance. But first I would like to say thanks to danelekenrik and sparky199 for reviewing not at all long after I put the chapter up and for all those people who have reviewed, favourited or followed since I've started this story, you guys make my day. Thanks for that. Anyway here's the next chapter.

Katrine's POV

It had been a good two or three days (though Katrine had lost count) since she had been captured and Katrine was starting to lose hope of ever getting out of the cold dark cave she was held prisoner in.

She had explored the whole cave but there was no other escape route other than the front entrance which was blocked off by a large boulder. The boulder was extremely heavy and Katrine couldn't even shift it an inch (She had tried many times). The only time it was moved was when Echidna was boiling rabbit for the disgusting rabbit stew, Katrine had been forced to endure every mealtime since she had been brought to the cave, so the steam could escape. Once again Katrine had tried many times to sneak past Echidna but she was always caught and punished for trying.

Katrine's body was covered in bruises and cuts that Echidna had inflicted on her for either trying to escape or refusing to give the information that Katrine didn't have in the first place. Katrine knew she had to get out of there. And she had to do it tonight!

Echidna marched over to where Katrine was sat on the floor, her scaled tail dragging in the dirt on the ground. "Just tell me where camp half blood is and I'll let you go" She demanded for the millionth time.

Katrine glared at her captor. "I told you, I don't know where this stupid camp is, can't you get that into your think skull!"

Echidna scowled before resuming her falsely sweet tone. "Now, now dear, no need to get personal, all you have to do is tell me where the camp is. Who knows, you might even help your sister by telling me."

Katrine faltered, her eyes softening for just a second. Where was her sister, was she even still alive? Katrine shook her head slightly and her green eyes hardened again. "Oh, shut up with your useless threats. I've searched this whole cave and there is no sign of her sister anywhere. You must be really stupid to think I'd fall for that trick!"

Echidna hissed in annoyance and lashed out leaving an angry red mark on Katrine's cheek and causing her to fall to the floor landing on her broken wrist. "Stop lying to me girl!" She yelled before storming over to the back of the cave.

Katrine curled up in ball on the cold stone floor cradling her broken wrist. She had to get out of here TONIGHT!

Jason's POV

Jason sat in is Praetors seat with his head in his hands. He had spent the last hour listening to Reyna and Octavian argue about who was going to storm Echidna's base.

"NO!" Reyna yelled "I will go ALONE."

"No, let me lead an army to the cave, strength in numbers!" Octavian retaliated.

Jason sighed. Octavian really would do anything for the change to command the legion. He really did love being in control.

"NO, too many Romans in one place will alert all the nearby monsters of our presence. I must go alone" Reyna demanded.

Octavian looked defeated for a second but it didn't last long. "Yes but, there will be more soldiers to fight them"

Reyna scowled at Octavian's resistance then opened her mouth to argue back but Jason couldn't take it anymore. This argument had gone on too long.

"Enough!" He bellowed taking his head out of his hands. They both went quiet and looked up at him. "I'm the one who spotted Echidna there for I shall be the one to go in the mission alone"

Reyna gave him a small smile. Jason guessed she was just happy that Octavian didn't get his way. Octavian glared at the ground.

-Line break-

Jason waited till night fall so the darkness would hide him from any monsters. He walked out of the tunnel and away from Camp Jupiter. He rubbed his golden coin nervously as he walked. This could be a tough battle especially if Echidna's child the chimera was there. This could end very badly.

He finally reached the cave. It was set on the edge of the woodland area. There was a large boulder in front of the entrance. The only problem is it was set on the inside. Jason slowly walked closer to the cave and spotted a small gap between the boulder and the edge of the cave entrance. It was very narrow just wide enough for a smaller person to squeeze through. For a second Jason wondered how it had got there but he didn't question it. If anything it made his job easier. All he had to do was squeeze through, kill Echidna in her sleep then leave.

He took a deep breath and took his golden coin out of his pocket. He flipped it and caught his Gold sword. He started forward and was about to go into the cave when a girl with black hair came out of the cave...

Thanks for reading. Please review cause I love hearing what you guys think.
