**TRIGGER WARNING** THIS IS VULGAR DARK AND VIOLENT AS FUCK. THIS IS YOU'RE ONLY WARNING.

Thalia Grace didn't think her day could get any worst. First she got roped in a mission to retrieve some demigods. Now that would have been just fine, but Reed had to come along. Some arrogant ass from the Ares cabin who wholeheartedly believed that two girls and a satyr couldn't make it on they're own.

Even if one of said girls was the daughter of Zeus of all people. Sadly he's the only one who volunteered to accompany them.

Even Argus looked annoyed as he drove them to the military school Grover was posted at in Maine. With her mile long rebellious streak Thalia already felt like such a place would be a pain to be in.

And she was right, just as she entered the dance floor to some stupid party. Thankfully Chiron's long lessons on how to use the mist meant an easy entry for her. She had half a mind to tell the teachers that Reed was an intruder. Sadly she'd never hear the end of it.

"So where's the fresh blood" he asked scanning the crowd. Reed was you're typical sixtheen years old son of Ares. Big strong, nearly all talk and a jerk with sub brick level of intelligence. And that's being generous. "Let's go find Grover first" advised Annabeth looking almost as annoyed as her old friend.

The daughter of Zeus smiled as she spotted her old friend waving at them from the crowd. She hugged him "so what are we looking at goat boy?"

He rolled his eyes at the nickname and pointed at two kids sitting in the rafters. They both had an olive complexion and were dressed like old people. "Well what are we waiting for let's get em" Reed said like it was that simple. "No wait" Grover interpelled in a furious whisper. "There's a monster lurking around the di Angelo'sI have no idea who, but it's got a really strong smell."

"Useless satyr" grumbled Reed crossing his arms. Before Thalia could smack him Annabeth already came up with a plan. "Let's go dance amongst the crowd, we're already attracting enough attention to ourselves. Keep an eye on the di Angelo's and anything that looks suspicions."

Thalia and Annabeth stepped forward and found random people to dance with. Because they'd rather dance with a potential monster than the son of Ares. Thalia did her best to keep an eye on the two unsuspecting half-bloods, but it was hard as she kept spinning around from partner to partner.

Not noticing the stares people gave her when she accidentally and uncaringly paired up with another girl. She noticed professor Thorn advancing on the two siblings. He beckoned them to follow him with just a gesture, the Di Angelo's nervously did as he asked and followed him.

Narrowing her eyes Thalia spun the girl away into a new partner before stomping in the direction of the potential monster.

She caught a glimpse of the siblings going down the hallway and followed them from a distance, but she quickly lost them. Stealth was never her strong suit. She passed a door and someone sniffle like they've been crying. Tapping her bracelet Aeigis sprung around her arm. The horrifying face carved into the shield would send anything ahead of her fleeing like cowards.

Or so she thought.

Kicking the door open she ran in her canister ready to be turned into her spear, but all she found were the terrified Di Angelo siblings huddled together shivering in terror even more as they're eyes landed on Thalia's shield.

"No, no,no,no it's fine see." The daughter of Zeus tapped her shield turning it back into a bracelet. "I'm just like you ok, my name's Thalia. I'm here to rescue you." She tried to explain, but the younger half-bloods weren't looking at her.

Confused for only an instant Thalia's eyes widdened once she realised that in her haste she forgot someone. She spun around, but before she could unravel her spear, a spike landed in her shoulder followed by two more that pinned her leather jacket to the cold stone wall. "But who is going to rescue you?" The french accented voice of professor Thorn spoke up from the darkness. Thalia caught a glimpse of something that looked like a tail before the still disguised monster stepped out of the shadows.
