Chapter 2:

Thalia's POV

I could feel nothing. No pain or sensation of awareness, just nothing. I was in a dark room, well it was'nt really a room more like I was stuck on a log but there was absolutely no light. When I was a tree it was nothing like this, it just felt like a really long sleep. I put my hand out and it dissolved into the black wall. I almost screamed and jerked my hand back to find that it was covered in brown dead leaves. I broke down then and there. It was a bit scary to get in the tree again. I felt like my life was being pulled slowly away from me. I got up and started yelling and banging the walls of the room like I was in solatary confinement. I was trapped and super aware of it.

Annabeth's POV

I had woken up in Percy's arms. He told me that I had hyperventilated, as I was sobbing and then I got a panic attack. I was at the infirmary. I lay down on his shoulder as he stayed silent. There was a definite sadness because after all we'd been through, this happened. After a while I asked him if we could go to Thalia's tree and he nodded. For some people it's easier to break down than to pull themselves together. I'd rather face the problem head on. When we arrived a single drop of water fell on me. It was warm like a drop of tear, Then another. I looked up to see Thalia's tree and tears falling down from the leaves. I knew it was Thalia. She was in there but she wasn't asleep like the last time. She was aware she was a tree and she was suffering. My vision tunneled and I felt a sob at the back of my throat.

No You Are not going to cry.

I immediately ran towards the big house. Chiron was experimenting with pine needles, ambrosia and nectar. He was mixing everything in a cauldron and sort of looked like a witch (or warlock or whatever) I knew that by now he knew what had happened. I rushed towards him.

"Chiron! Have you finished the potion you're working on?" I asked.

"How did you know I was working on a potion? And to answer your question, almost." He said.

He looked panicked and a little scared. Thalia was like a daughter to him. He added some nectar and finished the final ingredients.
"There! It's do-." He started to say when I cut him off by taking it out of his hand and I could hear him laughing. I ran full speed ahead and came back at the hill and poured the potion on top of the roots of Thalia's tree. Then after a white bright flash I could see the tips of her jet black hair coming out.

Thalia's POV

After banging on the walls I had given up because my knuckles started bleeding. I was fighting the urge to fall asleep because I was afraid that I might never awake. Just when I was about to give up I was drenched in golden water. It felt like a thousand refreshing lightning bolts and that was AWESOME! Suddenly I was falling through the black surface, like I was passing through it. When I came up and fell on the ground, I was sure the ground wasn't supposed to have strong warm arms that felt safe and secure. I looked up to see Nico holding me. I blushed as hard as I could and got up quickly. Annabeth jumped on me and hugged me. I couldn't breathe and honestly I didn't know that Annie could do that. I let go and saw Chiron standing there. He looked at my wrists with a pained expression. I looked down and found shackles. Shackles… Shackles. It took me a minute to process. They were crackling with lightning, blue water and something that looked like the surface of the river Styx. The three signs of the big three. I tried to take them off, but nothing worked. I was getting really frustrated, I just got out of a tree and now shackles. Chiron came over to look at them. He looked up at me. Then back at the shackles. I was silently asking him,

What was going on?

"You're not completely free Thalia." He told me.

"What do you mean?" I wanted to yell at him but no one yells at Chiron.

"The shackles mean, you won't be free. You only have a certain amount of time. But the answer to how long it will be is a mystery." He told me.

I stared at the shackles. What was I going to do? We didn't have an enemy right now. Kronos was done. And we didn't know why I turned back. I nodded staying silent and walked away. Everyone looked like they wanted to say more but I wouldn't let them, I hated sympathy. That night I fell asleep thinking of the bright shackles and how I never noticed the fleece there. As I drifted off to sleep I could feel my soul lifting up.

My shackles were holding me back and I was floating in the air above camp. Suddenly an angry looking woman came up. She had black hair and blue electric eyes that looked strangely familiar.
"How dare you? My wretched sister, You shall pay for this!" she yelled.
She zapped me with something that hurt so bad. I immediately fell back against the ground. My stomach hurt and I looked up to see her coming again. I tried summoning lightning but nothing worked. She yelled again.
"If you think I stole the fleece you are wrong!" She yelled again.
She zapped me again and I fell backwards. Another hit and another and I blacked out.

I woke up gasping and breathing heavily. I immediately ran outside where it was raining and the wind held me back. It felt horrible. She was my sister? I couldn't take it. I ran as hard as I could to the big house. The wind seemed to carry me there, As if caressing me in its hands. I reached the big house in a matter of minutes. I pounded at the door as hard as I could. Chiron opened the door. I was covered and drenched in rain and leaves and branches. He rushed me inside and gave me a towel. I dried up and he brought me some warm milk.

"So, Thalia I'm sure we don't have demigods running in at the middle of the night covered in rain pounding on the door. What's wrong?" he asked me.

I explained my dream and after a long time he answered.

"Well, Thalia I know what happened to you." He said.

I looked up at him and asked, "What happened Chiron?"

He answered gravely, "Someone stole your fleece."
