The further I travelled through the forest, the harder it became to see where I was going. However, the figure seemed to have no problem navigating through the twisted trees, as if he had done this many times.. The trees became thicker and the canopy of greenery that surrounded me were almost suffocating. The hooded figure wandered deeper into the forest and soon everything was pitch black. I stumbled, and stopped suddenly, there was an erie silence. I began to get a little suspicious, my heart began to beat vigorously. Was this a trap? Where was I going? The hooded figure seemed to have disappeared. I could still feel the rough texture of the tree trunks and smell the dense bush that surrounded me but I had no sense of where I was going. I began to doubt myself. At that moment, inhuman laughter echoed through the trees and ringed in my ears. A shiver ran up my spine.

I could barely make out the outline of a horned figure. He seemed to be growing larger and his laughter became louder. I clasped my ears, attempting to muffle the laughter but it was too loud.

I screamed at the top of my lungs.

"What do you want?"

The huge figure laughed some more and replied in a deep, growling voice.

"You, son of Oceanus are here because you chose to come".

Then, the hooded figure became visible. Hunter stood in front of me grinning wickedly. I stifled a gasp, I should have known! It was a trap!

"Meet my dad" He snorted.

Wide eyed in shock, I realised the huge horned figure was Kronus. All I could make out of him was his outline, his horns and what looked like red electricity that surrounded him. I growled at Kronus, I have had many past experiences with the Kronus cabin and their father, not good ones either.

"What do you want?" I repeated a little louder, trying to hide my fear and anger.

Hunter smirked.

"We know about your plan Dylan, but you haven't thought it through have you?"

I attempted to play dumb.

"What plan?" I replied in my most convincing voice. I knew what he was talking about. I had wanted to tell everyone about my plan for a while now. I wanted to show everyone what an Oceanus member could do, because most of the time we were labelled as the wimps of the camp. I wanted to meet and destroy the one called.. Percy Jackson to prove I really was a demi-titan.

"Don't play that game Dylan. I know we have the same goal, we both want to eradicate those demi-gods. The sons and daughters of traitors!" Growled Kronus, he shouted that last word with such hate that my whole body shuddered. Then I realised something horrible, Kronus and I had the same goal. But, just because we had different reasons, did it make it any more acceptable? I had the same goal as the darkest, most evil titan in the world.

I glared at him with even more hate now. I wanted nothing to do with Kronus and his followers, I have had too many bad experiences. I knew there was no point in attempting to harness my titan-ability whilst I was in this state and there was nothing I could do. So I decided to play along until I thought of something.

"No matter how..." Kronus paused.

"... scrawny and useless you are, you do come up with good ideas" For Kronus, that must have been a compliment, yet I was bursting with anger. Trying to cover this up, I nodded.

He paused again, thinking probably of diabolical ways to torture me.

"..Would you like to work with Hunter and I?" Kronus pointed at Hunter who grinned. This surprised me. At that statement I had to try so hard to will myself not to burst out and yell at the lord of time that he was crazy to ever think I would even consider working with him! I was speechless, there was no way I could agree to this. I gulped, Kronus and hunter stared at me expectantly. I took a deep breath...

"NEVER!" I jumped in surprise and shielded my eyes as a beam of light pierced the darkness. Hunter and Kronus were now clearly visible. Kronus looked a little weaker in the light, but only for a second. Hunter looked truly startled. I looked at my surroundings and there, against all odds... was Bonnie, her sword clutched tightly in her hand. She had a murderous look in her eyes, she was staring straight at Kronus. A flood of questions raced through my mind, how did she get here? How did she know where to go? Shouldn't she be at training? How long have I been here? But obviously now wasn't the time to ask those questions.

"Let him go Kronus, he's no use to you, scrawny, he can't even hold a dagger properly!" I was about to yell back at her until I realised she was doing me a favour. Kronus growled.

"This won't be the last time you see me, I'll be back" He glared at me and Bonnie with his golden eyes, a mix of determination and hatred. He then disappeared in a huge cloud of gold, taking the chill of the night and pitch blackness with him. All that was left was silence, Hunter growled and put his black hood back on, storming off obviously disappointed that I wasn't incinerated by his father.

"Where do you think your going, they were looking for you too". Yelled Bonnie

"Wait, who's looking fo-" I began

"Shh" She interrupted.

"Just because you beat me in one lousy battle doesn't mean I couldn't seriously injure you". Began Hunter, glaring at Bonnie. He still hadn't gotten over the shame of loosing to Bonnie in the previous battle.

Bonnie's eyes reminded me of those of a snake, she made a growling noise and glared as Hunter raced out of the forest. As Hunter disappeared in the trees her eyes turned to me, just as menacing.

"You are in big trouble!" She stated. I sighed.

"What time is it?" I asked.

"Way past your last class, that's for sure". She replied.

"Thats just great".

Bonnie led me out of the forest of gnarled trees and back to camp. Many campers were still wandering around or finishing off dinner. I gulped as Iapetus stormed up towards Bonnie and I.

"Where have you been!?" He yelled. Now, all eyes were on me and Iapetus. Great, I thought, I would be publicly humiliated by my camp director to top off my strange experience with the dark time lord.

"You can't just disappear like that Dylan!" I gulped getting ready for whatever horrors he would bestow upon me.

"Your punishment is cleaning the hellhound's area for the next 3 weeks!" My eyes widened in fear. That punishment was a very rare one, only given if either Iapetus was in a very bad mood or the camper did something unspeakable. I guess it was a mix of both.

"What..?" I mumbled, not sure if I heard him right. The hellhounds... I sighed in despair...

"I don't have time for this.." Iapetus mumbled as he stormed off.

I sighed, I should have expected that.

"Forget about that, come on Dylan". Mumbled Bonnie.

She smirked and dragged me to a deserted part of camp behind the wooden structure we called the library. A few benches sat on the unkept grass and an old fountain that didn't work any more lay in the middle of the area. The fountain was made of sandstone and had carvings of all the titans on it. I stared at the picture of Oceanus. He looked completely different to me, he looked powerful, muscular. He had a sense of authority. Whilst I was just the scrawny boy who didn't fit in and couldn't do anything right.

"So.." Bonnie began, sitting on a bench. I decided to sit as far away as possible from her, I just wanted some time alone. So I sat on the bench opposite her.

"Tough night" She stated, I nodded in agreement.

"I brought some food" She added. I smiled a little, I didn't realised how hungry I was until she pulled out some ham sandwiches and a bottle of lemonade. She handed me a half of the sandwich and poured some lemonade into two cups.

"Hunter" She cringed in distaste at the sound of his name.

"Always causing trouble, someone aught to teach him a lesson!" Bonnie mumbled. I nodded in agreement. I wasn't sure why she was trying to comfort me.

"You were sent to get me?" I asked. Bonnie nodded and took a sip of lemonade.

"So, why did you go into the forest in the first place?" She asked, a curious look on her face.

"Well it's kinda hard to explain. I saw this black hooded figure, which in the end turned out to be Hunter and... I don't know. I was just, drawn to him, I guess". I looked up at Bonnie, she looked thoughtful and asked;

"What did Kronus say to you? It's not every day you bump into the one and only evil time lord!" I grinned at this and replied;

"He knew about my plan and he wanted me to work with him". I realised my mistake as soon as it came out of my mouth.

"What plan?" Bonnie asked, tilting her head to the side. I sighed, I decided someone had to know about my plan. I tried to explain it the best I could, but it did sound better in my head.

"Well, there is a stereo type I want to break I guess; how the Oceanus campers are like the odd ones out. That they won't accomplish anything, etcetera. I want to fix that by accomplishing something not even the Kronus cabin have yet. I want to go to the demi-god camp and find the one called Percy Jackson!"

She stared at me in silence and didn't say a word. Her eyes were wide. I could feel my cheeks grow hot and I looked away, unable to hold her stare. She probably thought I was crazy, no one had ever done that before. She was probably like everyone else, thinking that no one from the Oceanus cabin could accomplish anything. I knew I shouldn't have told her. It was such a childish idea. After a long while, she simply got up and said;

"Well, goodnight. I'll see you later I guess". I waved goodbye, feeling a little embarrassed and she trudged off, probably to tell her Coeus friends how she met a crazy Oceanus member who ran into the woods without thinking. I sat at the benches in silence, listening to the cool breeze and breathing in the cold, night air to calm myself. Then, I took one last look at my father carved into the sandstone fountain and walked back to my cabin...

-Hope you enjoyed it, more coming soon. P.S: It's going to get a little more interesting from here now :P
