"Percy! Wake up!" Jason shook me hard on the shoulder. I groaned, and opened my eyes. The blaring sunlight hit my eyes, and sent my head pounding. I winced.

"What?" I asked, my eyes closed, rubbing my temples. Jason told me what he predicted about Thalia becoming evil, and trying to kill me. I widened my eyes in fear and shock.

"Why would she want to do that?" I asked.

"Because.....she still couldn't get over with Luke's death, and still thought that you are still selfish as ever." He explained. I huffed angrily.

"She still couldn't get over with that thing, does she? Luke already told her that he doesn't want her to be evil and side with the monsters and she promised him that she will not be cruel, and now?" I yelled, punching the wall with my fist.

"Hey, chill man-"

"I will not chill unless she stops what she is doing!" I bellowed, shoving Jason on the floor. He stumbled, frowning at me sadly. I ran my hand through my sweaty hair and sighed. I walked towards him and stretched out my hand. He grabbed it and I pulled him up, apologising to him.

"It's fine, Bro. Sometimes I'm like this too, punching other people in their face." He mumbled. I chuckled. He looked at me with a determined look on his face.

"If Thalia is going to be like this, and if we can't stop her....we'll just have to decapitate her." He said in a depressed tone.

Too many ifs, I thought.

"It's okay....I'll try to find the antidote and cure that liquid," I reasoned. His eyes lit up.

"Oh, do you know where it is?" He asked eagerly. I shook my head.

"Then we'll find it and execute her then. We have only four days left! Come on!" He pulled my hand and we went out to search for the antidote.
