I yanked on the rope, but that only caused me to get rope burn. I watched them fear stricken, as they slowly approached. I tried to not remember the pain they caused me last time I was here, but there was no avail. My breathing started to pick up, as the memories started to flood back to me.

Calm down, concentrate on my voice. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Look at them. I opened my eyes slightly and looked at the dead bodies emerging from the forest. Concentrate on the closest, feel its thoughts, motives. I looked at the closest infected and concentrated on it. Nothing happened. Breathe as he breathes. Act as he acts. Be one.I watched as there chest rose and fell, mimicking his breathing. He was calm, so I was calm. I started at him as he stared at me.

Except I was no longer staring at him. I was staring at myself. You have access hiss mind, go through his thoughts. I started to panic. How is this possible?! This is so wro- calm down! If you aren't acting as one then you won't be able to stay in his mind. I tried to calm down, but it was quite hard. Calm down chase, calm down. Think his thoughts, think his thoughts.

I willed my mind to forget everything. Death. Pain. Food. That's defiantly not my thoughts! Think fire and only fire. Anything else may damage you and the body. Fire, fire, fire. Nothing happened. Well not yet that is.

Then I felt a searing pain in my skull like somebody was smacking my head with a shovel. I got really hot and my brain couldn't function right. I stopped my breathing from the pain and shock. Pull out of the mind right away! I tried, but the pain was unbearable. I felt like I was melting from being in a fire.

Oh crap! IM ON FIRE! Slow your breathing. He breathes fast you breath slow, he can't think but you can. Pull out of his mind. I got over the shock and listened to the voice.it was hard but I was able to breath slowly again.

I looked down and saw that my hands were tied. I was back in my body! I looked back up and saw my masterpiece. The infected body was on fire and it was starting from his head to his feet. As I watched my eyes started to droop and my head was pounding from a massive headache.

I fought to stay concuss, listening to the screams of terrier from the dead bodies that surrounded me. My eyes almost closed when I heard shouts and not the occasional shout from an infected. No I was shouts, like commands. Only humans can command now days.

My eyes flew open and I saw a few cars come flying into the forest. Men and some women came out baring guns and killing any dead in sight. It was disgusting.

No, not the blood and bodies everywhere, I have grown accompanied to that already. It was the way they fought though.

Like they had no moral and would kill for what they want in life. They were people I couldn't trust.

"Looks like we found her." Said a voice. I turned around and chocked on air. This man looked like he could be the twin of my dear dead friend Luke. He had the same hair color, height, and structure. Except he didn't have a scare (courtesy of me) and his eyes were gold. But they were nothing like hazels golden eyes. No, they were blazing with hatred. They were completely cold.

"It's nice to finally meet you miss chase but if you don't mind we would like to take you with us." "I'm not going anywhere with you!" I growled out. He just let out a hardy chuckle and said "it wasn't a question."

There was a pain in the back of my head and I passed out.

Percy pov.

We have been wandering around aimlessly for about an hour now. But all I can think about is Annabeth.

What she did was courage's and stupid. She could get killed! When I saw her get pushed to the ground I couldn't help myself for trying to help her. What if I never get to see her again? I could never forgive myself. Calm down Percy, she said she will come back. How does she even know this? Could it be this has happened before?

Great Jackson, Now you're rambling.

"Hey Percy, look at this!" Jason yelled. I walked over to him, and may I say that I have never been so happy in my life (so far). There were tones of tire tracks that lead into a forest. "Let's see where they lead. Everybody be alert, there may be some people there!" I command as we set off on are adventure into the wilderness.

I was going to stop here, but I haven't updated in a while …so yeah. (Awkward)

10 minutes later we emerged at a shocking sight. There were dead bodies littered everywhere with bullet casings all over. "Scan around and see if you can see anything."

We walked around and looked around at the bodies when something caught my eye. There was a body, no actually a Skelton with burn marks all over. The funny thing is there was no burn marks on the other bodies or the grass.

"Hey guys, come look at this!" I yelled over to the group. There was some shuffling of feet then a huge slam. I whirled around with my sword in my hand only to find Leo on the ground groaning. "idiot." Thalia muttered and walked past him, but not before kicking him in the stomach.

"Holy green day! What happened!?" there's Thalia for you. "It seems like it caught on fire." Says Nico. Thalia wacked him in the head for me "no duh death breath! But there is no burn marks. How is that even possible?" "We will find out later but we need to keep following those tire tracks!" I say.

We all walk towards the tracks when my name is called once again! "We may want to hurry up because… well they have Annabeth." I whirled around at the sound of piper speaking and I saw her holding up a knife. Specifically Annabeth's knife. "Come on the faster we go the sooner we get her back!" I yell as we start running the tire path.

Annabeth pov.

As usual after being captured I woke up to find myself tied to a chair. Nothing new. I looked around for an escape route but only came up with a door. That of course was guarded by 3 men.

"Ah your finally awake, well let me be first to introduce myself. I am kronos and those men are bob and john." Said the man I talked to earlier. "How original!" I snapped.

He ignored my remark, "let's get down to business, you help us and I will give you something important to you." "I would never help you so I would just stop where you are." I snapped at him, he's an idiot to think so. "Oh, I wouldn't say that, she is quite important."

And that's when it hit me. He looked familiar because I have seen him before. Those golden eyes started once into her eyes.

He was the man who took my mother.

Alright so tell me if you liked the update! Next chapter will be loaded with action! So review please! ;)
