A/N: I know that I left everyone on a cliff hanger. I just wanted to post the chapter as soon as I possibly could, because it has been a long time since the last update.
So this is another reminder to vote on the poll, please do! I need to know who to pair Percy with :)
Anyways, enjoy the chapter. I worked hard on this. I know it is a longer one ;) you're welcome. I wasn't supposed to post this chapter until a couple more weeks as I originally planned, but I hurried up and finished it for you guys.

POV: Hecate
"Nyx!" I hissed and she just smiled, as if she just did me a great favor.
"Yes, Hecate, I was the one who took you. The man that was torturing you was Tartarus." She widened her smile "He has a thing for you and when he wants something he will get it in the end."
"Never!" Bob yelled, but Nyx silenced him with a wave of her hand. Bob chocked on an invisible object that seemed to be lodged in his throat. I swore, tried to help him, then backed away, knowing it was useless.
"Now, are you going to come in quietly? Or are you going to make this difficult?" She sank into a crouch.
I looked at Bob, I knew that if I didn't go quietly, then he would suffer for sure. I hate to admit this, but I loved him. There was something about him that was different from everyone else that I had met before. I didn't want him to suffer, but I didn't want to go be with Tartarus. I didn't want to be with anyone, but Bob.
"I'll go." I whispered and walked forwards, my hands in the air. I could see Bob from the corner of my eyes. He was looking away. I watched him flash out of Tartarus. He left. I knew he was safe now though. I would do anything to ensure his safety. I turned back to Nyx slowly, but was hit over the head by an object and I blacked out.
*Hours later*
I came too, my eyes tired. They tried to close, but I forced them open, but I knew soon I would lose the constant battle with them. I needed to sleep, but I wanted to find out where I was and with who.
"Welcome, Hecate." A black figure approached me and I stood up. I was obviously in a throne room as the man just got off his throne. Judging from past experiences and dialogue, I would say that man was Tartarus. "I am Tartarus." I was right.
"Why do you want me here?" I asked, he started to circle me. Trying to get a good grip of my abilities?
"Gaea was a nice wife and all, but she isn't the same anymore. I don't agree with her ideas and wishes, but I support her because she agreed to let me be free. I'm free to chose anyone I want to be with." He paused for dramatic effect. "I choose you." He reached towards me and I tried to back away. "Don't worry. I won't hurt you, after all, you will soon be mine."
POV: Percy
I blinked and my vision slowly refocused. As it focused on a blurry image of a female demi-god it seemed. I wondered what color my eyes were. As I grew up my eyes started to change color with my mood.
When my vision finally finished focusing, I was looking at a female demigod, like I suspected. She was blond, had a smirk on her face, and her eyes were studying me. Those grey eyes, reminded me of Athena. Obviously, this girl was a daughter -or at least- a legacy of Athena.
"You drool when you sleep." She commented. My hand flew to my face and I wiped my hand over my mouth, sure enough there was some drool. That was strange, usually I don't drool.
