Here it is, the next chapter! Sooner than I thought with all what's going on at the moment in my life!

They all waited patiently by Kaleb until he woke up. As soon as he started stirring from his sleep Nico made his exit, claiming that he needed to see someone although he wouldn't say who when Amelia asked. After his hasty exit Kaleb sat up groggily, rubbing his head. His eyes widened when he noticed Percy sitting next to him, he then looked at Amelia but she couldn't look him in the eye. His face became suspicious.

"What are you doing here?" he asked Percy but didn't tear his eyes away from Amelia. She looked at the ground, the grass seemed very interesting to her. It held the secrets of the world and she could unlock them if she looked at it hard enough.

"We found you. You were in a right state if I say so myself, blood everywhere. I patched you up and then just waited here for you to wake up before we go on our way. So we should get going now. Amelia?" Percy beckoned to Amelia and she hastily stood up then held out the journal.

"Found this. Have it back." She mumbled. Kaleb took it back curiously. When Amelia turned round he grabbed her hand.

"Whatever you read in there. I'm sure it can't be that bad. What have I done?" Amelia took a deep breath and slowly released it before answering him.

"It doesn't matter what I read, only a dream right?" she then pulled her hand from his grip and walked around him, ready to follow Percy. Kaleb, suddenly full of energy, sprang to his feet and held onto her shoulders.

"Which did you read about?"

"Why does it matter so much?"

"Please Amelia, I need to know." Amelia was silent for a moment but eventually snapped back,

"The one where I lead a rebellion in Olympus with all my mindless drones. I'm evil in this 'dream' and now I know what is going to happen in the future. The god's probably do as well. So well done, I'll give you an award for being the worst hero and while I'm at it you can let go." Her anger bubbled and raged inside her, causing her whole body to tremor. Although he could see what she felt like he still hung on to her. She struggled to get him to release her but he pulled her into an embrace instead. She pushed him back violently, sending him sprawling.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" she blurted furiously. Backing away from him. She collided with Percy who put a protective had onto her shoulder; he then pulled her to the side and stepped in front.

"Whatever you have to say to her, don't. Can't you see that she doesn't want to hear it? I know I'd be the same if it happened to me." Kaleb narrowed his eyes at Amelia,

"You went and told him? Do you even know who he is?" Amelia ignored him. "Hello? LISTEN TO ME!" Amelia jumped and looked up, hastening to hide her shock. "I was young when I wrote that. It wasn't long after I'd met you that one time. Kronos kept on giving me these visions of the future, telling me that it was inevitable. He would turn you against Olympus and that I would help when the time came." Amelia was struggling to breath, a panic attack setting on. She felt light headed and almost collapsed but somehow she stayed standing. She drew in longer breaths until finally she could breath and think straight again.

"You are the reason I turn evil?" she accused, shaking her head and stepping back.

"Not ultimately but…yes," Amelia shook her head more vigorously and thought of all the options of escape. She could run, she could run, she could stay, or she could run with Percy protecting her. Not many options at all when she came to it. She turned and bolted, needing to get away from everything. Kaleb couldn't, wouldn't do that to her. It was his way of getting to her, making her feel insecure and god it was working. She wished she knew who her godly parent was and then maybe she wouldn't feel alone. So alone in this new world of hers. A world where nothing is as it once seemed, her brother was gone, kidnapped. Her father and home were both burnt to the ground, and now her first kiss has come to haunt her once again. She couldn't stand with this. All she wanted was to feel safe and warm as she hugged her brother, watching him fall asleep…

She stopped as Kaleb suddenly sprang in front of her and grabbed her, forcing her to stop. She tried screaming for help but he put his hand over her mouth.

"Shhh, please. When I take my hand away will you scream?" she shook her head and he actually believed her. She bit his finger and shouted as her life depended on it. He slapped his hand over her mouth again and pulled her to the side, behind a bush. She struggled all the while, making as much noise as possible. He sat her down but he didn't let her go.

"You need to listen to my side of the story," he whispered urgently, she went quiet, curious to know what he was going to say in order to save himself. "Kronos got to me through my dreams; he has been using me as a puppet all my life. I was the one to set it all off; I was the one who gave him the strength to start making plans. My strategies were legendary and smart to him so he took them. He expects me to turn you to the dark side and then make you lead the rebellion but I don't want to. I need help, from you." She'd heard enough and started struggling again. "I'm so sorry for what I'm about to do," he murmured into her ear. He pulled out a needle and injected her with something. She felt her body start to go numb. At first it was her feet and hands, then her legs and arms. Then eventually her whole body. She couldn't move except to blink and moan slightly. But even her vocal chords seized up. "I'm really sorry but I'm desperate. You need to listen to me before Percy finds us." When he said that a new hope lit up within her, of course Percy would find her. He had to!

"I'm under a simple hypnotism that Kronos has put on me. I'm not sure if he has done it to anybody else but it is hell. If he tells me to do something I have to do it. No questions asked. He made me kill my Dad. Do you know how that feels? To have to pick up a knife and kill the only person who has ever stood by you? It isn't fair and I've had enough of it. But you, you can do something, you can help me. You may not know it yet but you can. I can sense a great deal about you that I can't do with anybody else. Your powerful in mind, heart and soul. That is what matters. So please, save me. You're my last chance. If he finds out I've said this he'll make me kill either you or somebody who you hold close. Maybe Alex. I do know where he is after all." She fought to say something but couldn't, instead it came out as quickened breathing. "I can't tell you where he is, although I want to so bad. I can't because he ordered me not to. Now do you see why I can't do this any more? You have to help, I'll give you time to think it over but I will come back to you. I will return to you wherever you are." He sighed, leant down and kissed her forehead before standing up and hauling her back onto the path. He leant her against a tree, waved feebly then walked away. In her head she was screaming for him to come back but he didn't hear any of it. Just before he disappeared completely he turned and said, "That paralyzing serum will wear off in about half an hour, you might feel very sick and dizzy but remember, that's nothing to what I'm feeling." He then went from view. She could hear Percy and somebody else, Nico? Calling her name frantically but she couldn't reply so she just sat there numbly, waiting for the serum to think about. Thinking of a world without the ones she loved.
