Warning this might change you opinion on some of the characters.


Odessa's POV:

Odessa...it is alining...soon freedom...but first war

I clear my mind from the words and images that send a shiver down my spine and concentrate on now. The boys are both so clouded by grief, that they do not see the upcoming threat. I start to warn them of the danger but it is too late.

"Ahh, what a little happy reunion we have here." His voice sounds like death warmed up. Percy launches himself at Chaos, but with a flick of a finger he is imprisoned like Nico and I, his sword in Chaos's hand. "Sometimes violence is welcomed by me, but not today. I have another to join your reunion, some of you might not be so happy to see him." Chaos looks straight into my eyes, images of past events flash through my mind. I turn my eyes away, but one image stays, it just happens to be my most feared one. "They will be along in a second so I will leave you now." He turns on his heel then vanishes.

Nico looks at me trying to read my emotions, I turn my back to him, I am not ready to tell all of my past yet.

Blond hair... blue grey eyes...

I snap out of the image, no I will go back those days. I turn back around trying to find something to take my mind off the memory. Then stood in front of my cage is the one from my mind, my scream echoes. Nico and Percy turn to see what I am shocked by.

"Luke!?" His appearance has the same effect on Percy. My eyes begin to swell with tear, I will not cry not in front of him. Nico stands up and walks closer to me, his hand links to mine. Luke looks different since I last saw him, he now has a tattoo on the top of his right arm, the ink a spiral of letters saying words I do not understand. He seems almost as frightened as I am.

"I thought you said you wouldn't return," I spit the words out like they were poison.

"You know him, Odessa?" Nico asks his hand squeezing mine.

"He. He is the one who tortures me. He is the one who riddles my mind with nightmares."

"Yes but thats in the past." Luke speaks for the first time,

"Wait," Percy says, his face is confused, "Go back a bit and explain 'cause you have lost me."

I close my eyes and open my mind sending the images to them.

I am shackled to the front of my cage, Luke forces me to swallow black liquid from a polystyrene cup. Then everything turns dark. I am running through a forest, I hear shrieks in the distance but I run on. I arrive at the forest fence, there is one gate out, guarded by Luke. "Think you can get past me," his voice bounces around my skull. I stretch out my hand, with the palm facing him. Blue light flows from my palm and into his eyes, he slumps to the floor. "You make me use my power," I whisper, then I walk through the gate and collapse on to the paved ground. Tears flow in rivers down my cheeks. I look up, Luke is there again. "I said do you think you can get past me."

The vain in my right arm bursts open blood pours from it. Then the same happens to the left one, next comes the ink. "Killing me wont achieve anything, this is just happening in my head," I tell him. He laughs as the black ink makes its way to my heart. Then I am falling. My eyes open I back shackled to the cage again.

It has been along time since I have used my powers, and soon the energy drains out of me.

"Still not in control, I thought you of all people could handle your powers." I ignore Luke. Nico is looking at me in a shocked way, I am not the person he thought I was.

"The light doesn't make me a bad person." I whisper
