The Assassins (#2)

A Vision

♡Percy♡
We trudged along the pavements of the mortal world, searching for Thalia. It's noon, and the sun was scorching. It's like what, fifty degrees Celsius on land? What's worse, I'm wearing long jeans and a long sleeve tee. Sweat trickled down my forehead, and I used my sleeve to wipe them off my brow.

"How long more? I'm all worn out!" I complained. Everyone turned to stare at me.

"What? You people are wearing short sleeves tee and bermudas or shorts, but me? I'm wearing long pants and long sleeve tee! Can't we just rest for a moment?" I wailed. Everyone sighed but obeyed me. Looks like everyone is tired too. We went under a big tree and sat under it, feeling the cool breeze caress my cheeks.

Shit, I forgotten to put some food in my backpack. I thought. As if like Lyte read my mind, she took out two peanut-butter and jam sandwiches and handed one to me. I took it from her hand and thanked her.

We ate in silence for a while. Then Lyte asked, "So....we've been searching for Thalia for almost two days, and we still can't find her. Any solutions?"

"Hm.....if the magical hat said that I had many powers, I wonder......." I paused and looked at Lyte. She widened her eyes in surprise.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" She exclaimed. I grinned. "Maybe." I closed my eyes and concentrated at where Thalia is now. At first, nothing happened.

Come on, Percy. Focus! I told myself. Then, something appeared in my vision. I saw Thalia inside a room with someone with spiky hair in a white cloak. The room was packed with cylinders, tubes, flasks, and colourful liquids inside beakers placed ontop of a hot flame, bubbling ominously. I zoomed at the man in the white cloak, and he is......Dr. Gottschalk?! I heard him saying something to Thalia, giving her a syringe containing a sickly green liquid. She nodded, smiling. I gasped. I learned from Uncle Tommy that that liqiud is some kind of poison that makes you evil and want to seek for revenge at someone.

Thalia! Don't take the liquid! This is not good!! Thalia! Listen to me! Don't do it! I tried to tell her but it looks like she couldn't listen to me. Then, I thought I saw her looking at my direction, and narrowed her eyes. My heart skipped a beat.

She saw me.

Thalia tapped Dr. Gottschalk shoulder and pointed her finger at my direction.

I opened my eyes, gasping for breath. Lyte and Leo saw me looking pale, and having a wild look in my eyes. They asked me what happened. I cooled myself down, and told them what happened. When i mentioned about the liquid I saw, Their eyes became as wide as golden drachmas. They scrambled to their feet and exclaimed in sync, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go and rescue her before she becomes evil!" And they pulled me along with them to Dr. Gottschalk's place.

I just hope it is not too late........
