A/N: This is a triggery chapter. I feel like telling you the nature of these will spoil the effect of the chapter, so if you have no triggers then keep reading. For those who might be affected, the type of trigger is underneath the chapter. Scroll down to check :) Also language.

Thalia's head pounded. A hammer drummed on the inside of her skull in a march, da-DUM, da-DUM, da-DUM. Her fingertips flickered as her instincts awoke. The memory of a brutal attack came back to her.

Guarding the camp.

Three against one.

Blacking out.

So she was captured, sure, but she felt strong. The girls would be fine without her for a couple of hours - or days? How long had she been out? Thalia tried to bring her hand to her face to find it was in chains, the rattling breaking the profound silence. As her vision came into focus, Thalia noticed three figures around her, all bound by their wrists: a girl next to a blonde-haired guy on one wall, and -

Kelp-Head.

She looked back to the other wall, and a deep silver glow that pulled her own was shining from the girl. She smiled, but Thalia's face washed over with confusion. Artemis. Gone for three days, then Thalia turns up in a room, bound to a wall, and she's just there.

Where was there?

As Percy and the guy she assumed to be Apollo woke up, their faces dropped. Thalia tried to speak but they just murmured to themselves in dread.

"Oh no, no, she's awake-"

"It'll be okay, Arty-"

Artemis looked Thalia dead in the eye. "Sleep. You have to sleep. Please. Just pretend."

Thalia shook her head, bewildered. "Why? Where are we?"

"Just sleep, for fuck's sake. He won't come back if you're awake, he'll leave you be," Percy spat.

"Why? Come back? Who?"

"Don't put yourself through what I got. I'm not too sure how long Artemis will last if he starts on you."

Artemis groaned. "I don't even know why he thinks it's me. I haven't a clue where the blasted bolt is."

"What? Tell me! Who's 'he'-"

Zeus swung the door open, flanked by the two cronies who had brought her in. He flicked into Jupiter as his pupils shrunk to the size of pinpricks and he hurled a knife at the wall, it landing four inches from Thalia's head.

He stared his half-blood daughter down as he snarled, "You're going to tell me, Artemis. I need that BOLT!" His voice grew to an earthquake.

Thalia shook desperately. "Stop, please! No of us know where your bolt is, Father, let us go!" she cried.

Jupi- Zeus paced over to her and ripped the knife out of the wall then dropped it with a resounding clatter. Water dripped off the ceiling splatting Thalia on the head. She shook again, not daring to let her eyes leave her captor's. Zeus turned to Artemis with a steely glare. "Obviously, watching the most powerful half-blood of this century being reduced to a squealing mess wasn't quite enough for your pathetic compassion to show, so I'm going to take something you'll never get back. Tell me, Artemis, or she gets it."

"Don't, even if you do know! You know I can take this, don't give in to him!" Thalia roared.

Zeus grinned with a row of yellowed, cracked teeth. "Oh, I don't intend to use conventional methods." He picked up the knife and slid it down the side of Thalia's trousers. She heard the camo fabric give a "rrrippp-" and her waistband slip down to her hips. "One thing she'll never get back..."

Apollo gasped from across the room, and Percy looked away. Thalia's eyes widened in dread. Her whispers of, "My lady, I'm so sorry," were drowned out by her lady's fury.

"You would DARE? Your own DAUGHTER! A FIFTEEN YEAR OLD! How could you even IMAGINE such a thing! I TAKE ON GIRLS TO PROTECT THEM FROM THIS! YOU SICK BASTARD!"

Zeus just smiled. He tore off Thalia's pants leaving her fully exposed, with a gash on her hip where he tore her trousers. Artemis closed her eyes, defeated, but Thalia still stared him down. She smiled back. As Zeus took in the confusion, she drew a freed ankle up to meet his groin, flicking her trousers back over her waist. Zeus recoiled in agony. His eyes started to burn with lightning. Thalia closed her eyes and drew away from the outside world, deep inside herself. After that, she could take any superficial pain her father decided to throw at her.
