Percy ran to his cabin in complete shock and fear.  What had he just done?  He remembered the way Thalia looked at him.  Like he was some kind of monster.  'Am I a monster?' he thought nervously.  He raised his hand and closed his eyes, trying to create the same beam of light that had knocked Thalia to the ground earlier.  Percy silently hoped that it wouldn't work.  That he wasn't the monster that threw Thalia to the ground like a rag doll.  He was just a regular demigod.

He opened his eyes to find his cabin the same as it was a minute ago.  Percy let out a relived sigh and began walking towards the mess hall, where the campers sat down for dinner.  He saw the two siblings that he had retrieved from Westover Hall in a deep argument.

"Bianca please, you can't leave me here all by myself!  You don't even know these people!  What if something bad happens to you?"

"Nico, I'll be fine.  I promise.  But, I need you to let m-"

"But why can't," he looked around "Percy do it?"

Percy took that as a cue to stop ease dropping on their conversation, and get his food.

"Because they asked me.  And besides, I don't think Zoe would like a boy traveling with her."

"But what about-"

"I don't want to hear it Nico.  I'm going.  End of story."  Bianca got up and threw her food away, leaving a confused and depressed Nico.

"Hey!" Nico looked up to find Percy Jackson sitting across from him.  "What's up?"

"My sister got picked to go on the quest.  I-is she gonna die?"  Nico looked miserable. 

"I don't know.  But don't worry, Thalia and Zoe are gonna protect her."  He looked over at Thalia.  When she noticed, she gave him a terrified look, but quickly regained her composer and glared at him.  Percy was confused.  'Was it not a dream?  Am I a freak?' 

He was pulled out of his thoughts when he heard Nico say "Thanks."

Nico got up and walked away, leaving Percy traumatized by his own thoughts.

When Thalia got to her cabin, she immediately started packing for the quest.  She needed to get as far away from Percy as possible.

Tomorrow, she would leave camp to go Mt. Tam, where her best friend lies in chains.  Thalia didn't know if she could stand traveling with that insolent hunter.

She was taken out of her thoughts when she heard a knock on the door.

"Come in." she grumbled.

When she saw Percy walk through the door, she almost ran out of the room.

"Percy!  I-"

"I get it," he said, "But I just came in here to say sorry."

"What was that back there?"

"I don't know."  Thalia looked at him suspiciously. 

"Okay," she began, "Anything else?"

"Actually yes.  I need you to look after Bianca.  If anything happens to her N-"

"Okay, I get it.  Now if there's nothing more you need to say, I need to pack so..." she motioned towards the door.

Percy looked kind of hurt but reluctantly walked out of Zeus' cabin.  "Thanks." he said quietly.

Once he left, Thalia gave out a sigh.  'Great' she thought sarcastically.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next morning, Thalia, Zoe, and Bianca set out for Mt. Tam.  Little did they know, there was a small boy following them.
